Ask Lemmy

A coworker gave me some THC laced stuff at work without warning me. So I'm sitting at my desk, when all of a sudden I start panicking. I feel weird. Is my heart stopping? I can't move my arms. I start yelling. Other coworkers come to my aid. I tell them I can't move my arms, while waving them wildly. They tell me I need to go to the hospital. The coworkers who dosed me said he'd take me, and they had to wheel me out to his truck in my desk chair because I said my legs didn't work either.

In the car, he told me I can't say anything about what he gave me, or we'd both be in huge trouble. So, I freak out more. We get to the ER, and I just don't say anything. He's talking for me. In the room, they give me some Valium and I calm down. The nurse thinks we are a couple. He's a 40 year old dude, I was a 23 year old dude. Too freaked out still to correct her.

Next day, go back to the office like nothing happened.

I woke up (from a blackout) on the hood of a car. A car that was stopped at a red light and wasn't the car my friends were driving. I guess I leapt out of the backseat and rolled around on their hood? Idk, I blacked out again then came-to again rolling through some wet grass. Blacked out again and woke up on a couch.

Turns out that humans can teleport.

Want more details? Me too. But I have no idea. It was more than two decades ago and I no longer drink.

I just posted two pictures of my boobs to a discord server of about 500 people from my city. We'll see how I feel about that later. Atm they're getting a good reception

I was given drugs for a tooth extraction and while I do not remember anything about it after I was given the drugs, my friend who was with me did. I had gauze in my mouth and I wanted some fries really badly. I basically walked into the window like an NPC with bad AI and my friend was like, "Elaine don't come in, I'll get some for you!" while trying not to laugh because I was staring into the window with my hands on the glass and my eyes were wide open like I was on crack or something.

Then when she gave me the fries I walked over to a bench outside and I started furiously eating them in a way that looked "savage", all while I had gauze in my mouth! 😂 Everyone was giving me weird looks or laughing. She called a taxi so we could go home and the first thing the driver said was "woah woah woah is she gonna throw up or?"and my friend told him "no she's not drunk she's had a tooth extraction and it's the drugs".

When I got home I passed out in bed and slept for like 20+ hours.

Tried to go to work after taking benzos. Thought they were out my system but unfortunately not. Luckily a friend who worked there noticed I was fucked up and intercepted me at door. She sat me down on a park bench and called my partner who had to leave her work to give my dumbass a lift home.

This happened in 2019 but we still refer to it as "the incident". Could have gone so wrong if my friends and partner were less supportive. I have no memory of the preceeding 5 days surrounding the incident. Apparently I was out at bars and spending money like a maniac, ruining family dinner parties, etc. Awful.

Benzos are the devil to me. They turn me into a zombie that is seeking to get more fucked up at every point. Friends don't seem to experience this Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde thing I have.

Brenda.

Shit myself in the endagine maccas.

Sometimes I will mix up their and there or worse your and you're! Another time my phone Auto corrected whose to who's and I was to lazy to fix it.

One of my 30+ year old forever-alone friends always makes a complete clown of himself when he's drunk and there's women around. He thinks he's funny and good singer but he's not. Just extremely cringe to be around. On several occasions I have told him while sober that alcohol makes him a completely different person but he doesn't seem to get the hint.

I became unruly at a party. Pretty sure my drink was spiked. My girlfriend at the time dragged me off. Apparently I faceplanted in her apartment trying to take my shoes off while sitting on her bed. Woke up to a big carpet burn on my forehead. It hurt like hell and I was mortified.

Not exactly drunk or on drugs, but given nitrous oxide while having a cavity filled when I was younger I started to think I was drowning on my own saliva because I couldn’t swallow and they weren’t using the suction thing to clear it out. I started thrashing and flailing about, effectively slapping the dentist.

Nice try FBI

Drunk: brazenly hitting on a lesbian who was holding hands with her partner

High: one time at the dentist, they gave me anesthesia prior to oral surgery (remember to brush & floss, kids). I was high enough that I thought they were going to give me a boob job instead of a root canal. Because I was high as a kite, I couldn’t really move or communicate, so I just went in & out of consciousness. This was a dozen or so years ago, and I just remember being confused the rest of the day about it.

The first time I went to a 4/20 party, my friends and I got so high, when we played this trivia game that was on DIRECT TV, we kept trying to answer the commercials that played between the question and answer parts and thought we were just dumb as fuck when every answer was SUPER wrong.

Walked home.

But the house I went to wasn't my home.

My now-ex who was always horrible at handling their liquor got way too drunk while we were out at the bars in the city. We had to take a 45-min train ride back to the house we were renting during our vacation, where some of my extended family were also staying.

Ex could barely stay conscious during the train ride, then suddenly gets down on the floor and says they're gonna hurl. Luckily I had a plastic bag with me and they threw up in that, but it was a small bag, plus everyone on the train was understandably grossed out, so I make them get up and move to the bathroom at the end of the train (thank God there was one). I distinctly remember a woman grabbing the hand of her small child and pulling them away as she looked on in disgust.

I lock us in the bathroom and Ex throws up in the toilet the entire rest of the train ride. Finally we get to our stop and we have to wait until the very last minute to get off the train because Ex doesn't want to leave the bathroom. Right as we step off the train, it starts moving again to go back to the city.

My cousin picks us up from the train station in their very nice/expensive SUV, and the whole ride back to the house I'm cursing Ex out saying don't you dare throw up in this nice car. We get to the house without incident but I have to drag them up the stairs to the bedroom, get a trashcan under them just in time because they started throwing up again, then monitor them the rest of the night to make sure they don't pass out and choke on their own vomit.

The next morning Ex says they're so sorry and will "make it up to me", and one of the things they offer for this is to "clean the whole apartment when we get home", as though that's normally MY responsibility?? I was pissed at them for weeks for embarrassing me in public and to my extended family (it was the first time they'd met). Such a fucking idiot. One of so many reasons they're now my ex.

Finally

My little brother came home drunk once when he was about 17 or 18 and he was hardly able to walk. I had to help him go into the bathroom because he felt sick. Then he literally hugged the toilet for about half an hour.

I thought my plane was on fire so I tried to pull the emergency fire suppression on the engines, but my fellow pilots stopped me.

My friend thought she was having a seizure. She was not having a seizure. She was just restless and very high and saying "I'm having a seizure" until she made me call an ambulance.

They didn't even have their sirens on.

Bonus: When I got too high, I was confused in how we knew dinosaurs didn't have their own civilization before the meteor hit and would not let it go for a bit.

One night while tripping on acid me and my then friend noticed smoke bellowing out of a medical center and mistakenly thought it was on fire. We called 911 and left an tip but wanted to stay anonymous and get on with our night. The next day I realized that the smoke was coming from a chimney built into the center and felt dumb but I guess its better safe and sorry.
