So, I stayed up the girlfriends last night..her dad owns the flat, but also owns the flat a few floors upstairs..hes rather protective so she hadnt told him that she had a boyfriend..

So, he came down last night for a bit, but left his key in the door, so when I tried to get out this morning to go to work we couldnt open the door...this is where it all went wrong..

She called him and asked him to come down and open the door, but asked me to stand in the cupboard in the hall, just so he didnt ask questions as to why I was in his daughters flat at 7am.

He comes down, and wheres the first place he goes? Yup, you guessed it, in the cupboard, with me standing in it. At 7am.

I think Im going to have to avoid going up there for a few days.. Embarassed

Dude. Everyone knows that you should always hide behind the curtain. Wink

You should have done the gentlemanly thing and hugged your g/f's Dad and said "Thank Heaven you rescued me. I thought she was going kill me" and then run out of the door. Laughing

You should count your blessings that you survived. That's sort of a good start.

btw what was his reaction? Or were you too keen on escape to notice?

Tell me you were clothed...

Gaz, you are someone else, and yes it is quite funny. Laughing

I wonder if her dad had a suspicion she had a male admirer there, and left the key in deliberately? Twisted Evil

From now on keep the noise down. Wink

I'm not sure which is funnier- your predictiment, or Gomer's suggestion. Laughing

(What can I say? It happened to someone else.)

He already knew before he opened the closet door. In fact he may have known before he went to bed last night.

You were in the flat last night, and you couldn't have got out because his key was in the door.

The proper response would have been to make up a bed on the sofa and tell him that you hadn't wanted to disturb him because it was after midnight when you went to leave. "l'esprit d'escalier" as the French say.

couldn�t happen to me. Cause I wouldn�t fit into the cupboard Laughing

And I love Gomer�s suggestion too Laughing

Thankfully, I was fully clothed, not only that, but the reaction wasnt too bad...

"You must think Im daft, son!" was all I got.

Gomer, if Id have thought of that at 7am... Laughing

That's pretty funny.
He didn't leave you a whole lot of room for answering, did he? Maybe something along the lines of "No, I don't think you are daft, but I was sure HOPING you were." Or maybe "You're almost out of biscuits."

Hahahaha, yup! Funny for me! And, properly aged, it will be very funny for you, a story to share with your teenage grandkids.

Reminds me of something that happened to me a long, long, time ago. I was having a bit of a fling with a co-worker. (Yeah, a bad idea, I know. The ancient saying about "don't dip your pen in the company inkwell" is wise, but I wasn't thinking clearly for some reason. Laughing

) Anyway, we had a hard time finding opportunities to get together, so we agreed to meet on a Saturday morning in a vacant office in the building, to which I had a key. But partway through the festivities the door rattled. Panic time... There was no way to escape. She hid in a closet and I proceeded to do some "work". In came a supervisor with a group of people who were prospective tenants, checking out the space. It was, shall we say, awkward... Thank goodness no one looked in the closet. We would both have been fired on the spot. But she had left her coat and purse by the door, so even though we weren't totally nailed, the supervisor knew something was up. He could have easily pursued the matter but fortunately he chose to let it slide. But he gave me the evil eye for a very long time thereafter. Embarassed

For some reason various scenes from Fawlty Towers spring to mind.

"What have I told you about hiding in cupboards? You can hide in your own cupboard but not in other peoples!"

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall Wink

at 7am of course
not earlier Embarassed

Haha. He totally knew you were there mate.

Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 1:14 am

Great story Gaz Laughing

I'm betting that he knew you were spending the night.

Yeah, he knew you were there alright, he left the key in the door on purpose, I bet he even has hidden cameras in the flat Laughing

Yup! It's already on the internet. However, the Paris Hilton video was better. Laughing

@gaz_c_85: What did she mean with "the horse! the horse!"? Shocked

hahaha! "I was just delivering your daily biscuits when all of a sudden a psycho women locked me in here!"

amazing story!

I am in agreement with the others. He definitely knew you were there.

I hope I am able to keep my cool, like her dad did, the first time I catch my daughter with a boy. For right now, I have to go clean my shotgun Wink

Great story to tell your grandkids someday.

^^^ Right after you find their boyfriends in the closet and have chased them down the road waving a shotgun.

Some years ago, visiting my girlfriend, I stayed over, and the next morning we were lying in bed together when her ten-year-old daughter showed up... she wasn't due back that day. I didn't see her come in, but I heard her plaintive cry, "Mummy, eewwww... how could you?"

(Funnily enough, daughter and I got on OK thereafter... I suppose it was tolerable once it was out in the open - er, so to speak Wink

)

Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2007 11:12 am

Haha, I steered clear of the house last night...worst thing is, its not as if we're kids and should be sneaking around...We're both in our 20's hahaha! Laughing

Are you a milkman by any chance?
