Has being drunk while on the computer ever cause you to do something really stupid?

you’ve heard of drunk dialing, or drunk texting? I’ve had drunk instant message sessions with ex girlfriends and things like that…but nothing too stupid.

I’ve changed my passwords when I was drunk before. I’m not so good at spelling when I’m drunk. Even if I remembered the password the next morning I wouldn’t be able to remember how I spelled it. I also posted pictures of my friends and I playing strip beer pong to Facebook one night and didn’t find out until about a month later. Those came down as soon as I ran across them in a sober state.

Yes.

like trying to answer this question right now, goodnight

:)

Yes.

scan through my questions from about 2 weeks ago

When Chat was a brand-new invention, in about 1982 (before I had kids), I spent a wine-sodden Sunday afternoon typing goofy typo-rich messages back and forth to a bunch of folks around the country who were as wowed by it as I was. Afterwards I felt like such an idiot that I never did it again.

When I was drunk and working on the computer, not only did I make a mess of all the messages I typed, I tried to find new and interesting ways to use office equipment, like this, for instance.

Oh god yes.

Here’s an easy way to stop sending mail you later regret.

krose and I have both Fluthered under the influence.

The one life changing experience I have had because of a computer snafu happened when both parties were stone cold sober. It was an email sent to the incorrect group of people and it literally changed at least ten people’s lives forever….

@SuperMouse, can you tell us a little more? That sounds like a fascinating story.

@Jeruba, it is a fascinating story! It actually is still playing out in my world and once things settle down I will share a bit more.

umm I was drunk and threw a finger nail clipper at my computer screen and took a big ass chip out of it… so yeah haha

I was pulling a Krose last night (fluthering under the influence) but was super careful to proof-read everything I typed. I think I came out of it with my dignity intact.

So Fluthering while drunk could be called “Krosed”.

Being drunk on the computer is in itself something really stupid. Although I don’t do it anymore, I get social drinking. But drinking and going online sounds like a solitary drunk which makes it more than stupid, it’s pitiful.

@cprevite: That’s entirely my fault. I started making fun of krose the day after, referring to it as ‘pulling a krose’ it seems to have caught on with a few people. :P

@galileogirl: I’m sure if you got drunk, high or whatever and spent the majority of the night online, yes it would be a bit sad. However, consider perhaps that if the party ends long before you were ready to crash, you might just go home and go online to pass some time. What’s pitiful about that?

It’s a good thing I can’t contract viruses from my computer. It is protected… However, after a few drinks it usually has seduced me to zero protection. It’s stupid but it just calls to me when I’ve been drinking. It uses me. I feel cheap.

Ha! Just this weekend my “friend” thought it would be a good idea to change his single facebook relationship status to married (to me)!

Needless to say, the wall posts the next am were quite comical as he had a lot of explaning to do. But, new rule for him, no more drunk facebooking!!

I came this close to responding to one of my students’ more inane questions while at my friends’ place for a pre-Thanksgiving party. Fortunately, my friend took my computer from me before I hit “send” and changed the wording to be significantly more polite and professional….

@asmonet: Were I krose, in a way, I’d be honored that it was called “Pulling a Krose” for his fun and glorious example of Fluthering while drunk. He wasn’t obscene or upsetting, just quite charmingly trashed. All in all, probably the best you could hope for from a drunk Fluther.

I’ve Fluthered when drunk. Like Augustlan, I tried to be careful not to make it obvious.

@galileogirl I doubt many of us get drunk alone to go online. In my case, we had a party at my house. The online portion of the evening was after the party had ended.

@EP Krose = female…and she was a charming drunk, wasn’t she?

@augustlan: I was doomed to make that mistake eventually. (But it evens out since I knew PoofandMonk was a lady on another thread, right? Right?)

Alcohol and eBay… Baaaad combination!!!

@EmpressPixie: Right! :D

A comment seen in an operating system source code file:
/* Drunk, Fix later */

I usually have a drink (or 2 or 3) in the evenings. I IM with a friend several times a week & he’ll say “you’re drinking, aren’t you?” LOL. He can tell by the things I say if I am.

@Grisson: lmao… nice

@Sakata And we wonder why Vista is the way it is?

@Grisson: Win.

lurve

really bad emails/facebook messages

hehehehehehehehe

Looks like this question has been answered for me. :)
