WITH HUGE PRESSURE to have the best fun possible, we understand that New Year’s Eve is a time of great frustration and woe for many. Here’s where you can air that frustration.
We’ve gathered some terrible New Year’s Eve memories from staff at TheJournal.ie Towers and our Twitter followers, along with a few more horror stories from the web. They are grim. Very grim.
To start us off, here’s a tale of line-dancing horror from TheJournal.ie‘s own Paul Hosford:
Paul also remembers a time when he and his family spent New Year’s Eve at a hotel, where the party atomosphere was… lacking.
The hotel manager made all of the families leave the open-plan bar/lobby and go to the library. Which was literally a library. No music, no TVs, nothing. We counted down the New Year on a phone.
Similarly, reader Paul Caris recalls a night totally devoid of festive cheer.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, DailyEdge.ie‘s Michael Freeman had a particularly memorable time dealing with someone else’s vom:

Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Still she’s probably better off than the girl who got vomited on by this guy (who later posted a missed connection to look for her):

This story from Warren Swords, which sounds frankly amazing:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And a sad one from Ellie, who is laid up this NYE. Get well soon!
