A hilarious video has gone viral on social media, which appears to show a drunk man waking up at the wrong house after a night of heavy drinking at a party.
The unidentified Scottish man, who can be seen eating a Pot Noodle and drinking a cup of tea, describes to viewers how he woke up in the wrong house after a party the night before. The home he ended up at was actually the house of two strangers. The priceless clip has now amassed more than 70,000 views and been shared by more than 2,500 Facebook-users.
The man in question states in the video: "I went to get a taxi last night. The taxi left and I came into the wrong house. I came in, got a cover and went to sleep. Instead of going back to the party I went into the house next door."
He added: "A couple woke me up going 'who are you?' I'm like: 'what are you talking about? I was here at the party last night'. And he went: 'trust me man there was no party here last night' ... Thank god this woman is from Glasgow. She was like: 'Aye we're welcoming'. Got a cup of tea and a fag!"
Man, videos like this really make me miss my homeland...
Have you ever woken up, hungover, and wondered exactly how you got home? It's often surprising that the inebriated have the brainpower to get themselves back to the comforts of their bed at the end of a messy night out, but, thankfully, we have the gift of taxis for when we're too drunk to drive and it's too late to take public transport.
Of course, there's no bigger night out in the year than New Year's Eve. As we await the start of a new (and hopefully better) year, we tend to get pretty wasted along the way. If you're at a house party and have a place to crash, or are staying at home, that's all well and good. But if you decided on a night out, you'll likely be troubling a cabbie with your drunken behavior.
One Norwegian man had been spending his New Year's Eve partying in Copenhagen, Denmark this year, where, like many people that night, he drunkenly jumped into a taxi in the early hours of 2018. What was a bit different about this journey was that his route back took him home via three countries, heading all the way back to his home in Oslo, Norway.
Maybe in his drunken state he got a little confused between where he was staying in Copenhagen and his actual home, or maybe he just thought he had the cash to cover it. This trip, which headed through Sweden on its way to Noway's capital, was a 600km trip. The passenger, who remains unidentified, managed to rack up a bill of 18,000 Norwegian kroner for his journey, which amounts to over $2,000.
The entire trip would have taken just under seven hours if he was lucky, and if the cabbie didn't take an even longer route to bag some extra dough. But it turned out that it was the driver who was getting done over as apparently, once the man arrived home, he claimed to not know what was going on and refused to pay the cabbie. Heading back into his house, he left the driver alone, now stranded after his battery went flat outside the residence.
The driver promptly called the police, who arrived on the scene shortly after. Oslo police told the tale in a series of tweets, claiming that they found the drunken reveler asleep in bed. When officers woke him, he immediately agreed to cover the bill.

The cost of the total journey ended up amounting to 18,000 Norwegian kroner, which equates to £1,640 or $2,220. It seems this was a one-off drunken offense, as the Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported that he has no previous criminal record of any kind.
The police confirmed that the no-doubt exhausted taxi driver was taken back home, three countries away, with the help of a tow truck. He definitely earned some rest for the start of 2018 at least.
It's a well-known fact that, whenever something crazy or weird happens in the world, it usually happens in Florida. We've written before about how the Sunshine State seems to be a kind of magnet for strange occurrences, and this phenomenon shows no sign of dying out any day soon.
If you want proof then just consider this incident, in which a Florida burglar who told the homeowner to "go back to sleep" when he was caught cooking himself breakfast was arrested this week.

Fox 13 News reports that 19-year-old Gavin Crim, a heavily-inebriated US Marine, broke into an innocent person's home in the 2400 block of Huntington Boulevard in Safety Harbor in the early hours of the morning of Tuesday, September 3.
However, instead of ransacking the place and making a hasty getaway, Crim proceeded to cook himself a full English breakfast. When the bewildered resident of the property was roused from their slumber, they came into the kitchen to discover Crim chowing down on his meal.
Check out this hilarious video of a burglar knocking out an accomplice by accident:
Crim told the startled resident to: "Go back to sleep." The property owner demanded that Crim leave the premises, and threatened to call the police.
Crim took off, but Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office eventually found him hiding in the swampland area behind the house. He was arrested and confessed to breaking and entering while under the influence. He was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and was later released on a $1,000 bond.

Watch this Australian man chase a burglar with a digeridoo:
He continued: "A couple woke me up going 'who are you?' I'm like: 'what are you talking about? I was here at the party last night'. And he went: 'trust me man, there was no party here last night' ... Thank god this woman is from Glasgow. She was like: 'Aye we're welcoming'. Got a cup of tea and a fag!"
It's hard to believe now, but not too long ago, getting drunk in a city was something of a minefield. If you'd been out at the bar until the wee hours of the morning and your place wasn't within walking distance, you had options, of course, but none of them were really any good.
You could take an expensive taxi, a terrifying bus ride, or attempt to stumble home in the dark and the traffic, but thanks to Uber, the only thing I have to worry about after a night out is not waking up my roommates when I get home (something I nearly always fail at).

An app on your phone which takes you home whenever you need it? It's a godsend, but somehow, there are drunk people out there who still manage to screw it up. I'm not one of those wild drunks like the guy I'm about to tell you about, but I'm sure you all know at least one.
Twitter user Femi Factor shared his particular story on the internet, and it's hilarious as it is confusing - how does anybody get this drunk?! At some point during a nice hangout with his friends, he got a text message from his friend, who left a bit early from the gathering.
"I left early. Sorry I couldn't stay longer," says the friend, and Femi asks where he's going, and you'd think he's possibly hurt, rejected or confused. "Are you kidding me come back", he protests, but the truth is a little weirder, and in my opinion, a lot more hilarious.
"Don't worry, I called an Uber," his friend reassures him, but Femi is still really confused, and understandably so. "We drank at your place," he explains, and his friend remembers this fact possibly a little too late. "Oh," the friend replies.
But that leaves a bigger question: where exactly is he going? "Get your driver on the phone," says Femi, probably with a huge sigh, and although we're not quite sure what happened after that, I'm sure it will be pretty hilarious. Twitter certainly seemed to think so.
The post from Femi Factor has nearly 60,000 likes, and 28,000 people saw fit to share it to their own followers, and wouldn't you? I've got at least three friends who this reminds me of, and I'm not the only one. Replying to the thread, other people shared similar stories of hilarious drunk text threads. I'm particularly interested to find out what happened in the second one:
Ah, drunk friends. Where would we be without them? Probably in a much better place in life, but as Femi found out earlier this week, they're always good for a little bit of fun, aren't they? As long as they're not hurting themselves, you'll always have these hilarious stories to come back to whenever they get a little bit too big for their boots.
Who has ever come home with something they didn't intend to have after a night of drinking?
Ask a room full of people this question and gaze around at the sheepish faces and vague recollections that are bound to emerge. Everyone has had at least one night out where they woke up the next morning and discovered they possessed a new object that they've never seen before in their lives, whether it's a traffic cone, an electric toothbrush or a pint glass.
But, let me ask you drunkards a question: have you ever stolen a dog while intoxicated? No, I don't mean a toy dog. I'm guessing the answer is no. However, for one young woman from England, the response would be yes, a thousand times yes.
Okay, well maybe not one thousand times over, but Toni Robinson from Walsall in the West Midlands has reportedly stolen three dogs on three separate nights out.
Her sozzled thievery came to light when the 26-year-old posted a Snapchat video in June that showed her waking up with a pooch in her room. Using a filter for her face, Toni begins the footage by telling the camera she has just woken up, afterwards moving it to show a black and ginger pup sitting on her bed. Her accompanying caption reads: "What the actual **f**k* how the hell did this even happen [sic]."
Speaking to The World News about the incident, Toni - who claimed to have no memory of taking the dog at first - explained that she and her friends had stumbled upon it unleashed and away from home.
She then expanded on exactly how the incident unfolded, stating: "We named the dog Violet as we were drunk on Parma Violet gin at the time. We shared a bed with the dog, who we later found out was named Princess, and had a deep chat with it on our night out. We didn’t even think about the owners."
The English young woman also reportedly admitted that it wasn't exactly the first time it had happened, saying: "This is the third time I have kidnapped a dog without realizing. When I woke up I realized what had happened when I heard the dog moving."
Fortunately for everyone, this story ends happily with Princess safely back with her owners. Once she had sobered up the next morning, the 26-year-old was able to locate the owners of the pup, who had been searching for the runaway pooch, and return Princess to her rightful home. All's well that ends well, eh?
When you've got on a boozy night out, it's not uncommon to wake up in the morning to find your bedsheets covered in some weird stains. Sometimes you might find drool on your pillow, or even food that you brought to bed with you, but nothing more disgusting than that... normally.
But this week a young woman's Twitter post has gone viral on social media after she who woke up to find her bedsheets covered in suspicious-looking brown stains when she let a guy stay over.
Recently, this couple built a gigantic bed for them and all seven of their pet dogs:
Abi Shenton, who hails from Bournemouth in England, met a man on a night out and let him stay over at hers. They exchanged numbers, and the unnamed guy left the next morning. However, when Abi woke she found what looked like fecal stains all over her crispy white sheets.
Outraged by this egregious lack of hygiene, Abi messaged the man to demand an explanation from him. Sharing the text exchange they had, Abi asked: "Why have I just woken up with sh*t all over me and my bed sheets?"
The man responded with a question mark, and then wrote: "I left you some choccy stars. I put them on your face while you were sleeping." Unconvinced by this response, Abi asked: "What was the thought process behind that?" to which the man replied laconically: "Funny."
Abi's followers had some thoughts on the matter. Commenting on her post, one person wrote: "FORGIVE HIM THIS IS CUTE [sic]" while someone else chimed in: "One up him with peanut butter or something.
Nearly 393,000 people liked and retweeted the post, and Abi later posted a follow-up post in which she wrote: "woke up with chunks of chocolate in my hair."
