I’ve got a few, but here’s a good one.
I was 17 and out on my first date with a new guy (a friend of a friend). We went out to a nice restaurant where I had oysters for an entree, afterwards off to a club for a bit of dancing.
Now at 17 and living at home I had a strict curfew, Midnight. And this was well before just things as mobile phones.
Anyhow, I became ill, like really ill. I collapsed in my vomit in the ladies bathroom and an ambulance was called. Off to the hospital with new date in tow.
Food poisoning from the oysters, so after medication (I certainly had nothing left inside me) and being put on a drip and observed until 8am the next morning, I was discharged.
Poor new guy had been sitting in the waiting room for 10 hours. He drove me home.
Mother was literally waiting at the door for me and was furious, absolutely furious. I was grounded for a month on the spot and when I tried to explain where I had been, I was given another month for lying. Poor new date fled in terror - it had been a long night for him and my mum was rather scary!
A week later the invoice from the hospital / ambulance service arrived for payment (in Australia back then it was done this way).
Vindication- yay. Grounding period was repealed.
First date with new guy wasn’t exactly a success so there wasn’t a second one.
Oh well.
