Have any of you either burned a bait or otherwise screwed up (possibly with excessive slapping) after having one too many?

I don't drink alcohol, but I'm sure many of you do, so there's a good chance this has happened quite a bit. You wake up the next afternoon and read the email you sent the night before..."damnit!"

Friends don't let friends bait drunk, I guess.

I never burn the lads in the sense of telling them they have been baited. But I have gotten a bit frustrated and typed pages of drunken rant telling the lad I know he is a no good lying piece of... you get the idea. Interestingly they usually don't twig. And then you know it is real hard to go to WU from rehab. Lol

I've pretended to be drunk in a couple of baits. So here's how to fake an email written by a drunk.

[1] Remove glasses; if you don’t need or use glasses, borrow a pair from a very myopic friend/acquaintance
[2] Move back to arm’s length from keyboard
[3] Go cross-eyed
[4] Try to touch type
[5] When done, clear up the more extravagant bits of gibberish, and send the whole lot on

And there are the results.

I suppose being so drunk that you pass out in the street with a wad of cash on you while on your way to the WU office would be an interesting modality.

I'm talking about actually being drunk, and instead of sending a message to an ex that you instantly regret the next morning, you send a regrettable email to a lad.

One potential risk of drunken baiting is accidentally signing off using your real name instead of your baiting character's.... I recall a couple of such anecdotes from times gone by.
Or, sending a baiting email to a work colleague or vice versa. I did one of those myself.

Otherwise I think there are plenty of examples of drunken baiting, many of which can be successfully overcome by a small dollop of truth ("Apologies for my drunken outburst, I was celebrating a big bonus") or simply ignoring the embarrassment and pushing onward.

And I suspect there have been some wacky, creative ideas that emerged after a glass or two, the kind of things that don't seem like they would work but end up with surprisingly good responses.

I don't drink but I had a character once that had the flu and I pretended to have him high on pain pills and confess to murder and not remember it the next day.

I've never been drunk, nor have my characters, but Annette once was sleep-deprived after being interrupted during an overnight stay between flights and wrote the following:

The trouble with being pie-eyed when doing any kind of messaging is, if you are like me, it's all "Hail fellow, well met!" . Lol

Which could (can and does) lead to the most exorbitant claims, all in the name of spreading some Universal Love.

Unfortunately, sometimes the opposite is true, and I play the part of evil villain.

The latter is best for baiting, but I try to stay sober. My Facebook friends may have a different tale to tell. Twisted Evil

I’ve never been drunk either, but one of my characters had a brain injury (car accident on the way to the bank, of course) and sent barely understandable gibberish for two weeks. Then after rehab she could write more clearly but told the lad she still couldn’t understand numerals. She demanded that he write out all numbers “Three million five hundred thousand” etc. She also made him revise the contract with every number spelled out – amounts, dates and addresses.

That trophy still makes me laugh when I read it. Laughing

Well I did have a rather giberish conversation via phone with another local baiter that I had arranged to meet at a bar one night. Laughing

Good times were had by all when he arrived. If baiter in question wants to chime in I don't mind but I won't give away his location by naming names.
