Trashbags...

A friend of mine (aka Bo) send me this in an email, though I have no idea why she thought of me :)
It's a pretty good list, I could probably think of a few more, and for me a true trashbag would participate in way more than 5 of them. Anyway, enjoy!

A trashbag is an Australian invented word, but a global concept. A trashbag is one who engages in excessive behaviour while partying, and generally makes a disgrace of themselves - in a good way. True trashbagging doesn't involve just alcohol. It is a way of life. On a night out, a Trashbag should participate in at least 5 of the following:

  1. Drinking at least a bottle of wine or champagne BEFORE leaving the house.
  2. Downing more than 10 jagerbombs.
  3. Eating in at least three of the major fast food outlets in the course of one evening.
  4. Starting up deep conversations with randoms while waiting in the toilet queue.
  5. Dancing on any available table, not discriminating against pool tables of course.
  6. Requesting so many songs that the music is like your own play list, and the dj hates you.
  7. Screaming I LOVE THIS SONG for every song.
  8. Having the bouncers, bar staff and dj all know you at your local.
  9. Putting your bags on the floor and dancing around them so you have more movement.
  10. Inventing new dance moves, such as the moose, the elephant.
  11. Bringing out old dance moves such as the monkey, the nut bush or the sprinkler.
  12. Clearing the dance floor and getting strange looks from everyone that's not you.
  13. Taking a hip flask of vodka in your handbag or jacket.
  14. Writing things on yourself and everyone around you.
  15. Telling random people that they're hot. And more importantly, that you are.
  16. Drinking Smirnoff blacks because they have 1.9 standard drinks, or Coopers Sparkling, cause it is 5.9% alcohol.
  17. Taking at least 60 photos of yourself.
  18. Taking photos of yourself and your friends on the toilet.
  19. Sucking face with a random on the dance floor. And then another. And another. And, well, you get the picture...
  20. Starting drinking at 3pm or earlier.
  21. Continuing till the next afternoon.
  22. Wearing a skirt so short you need to wear shorts (or special undies) underneath.
  23. Staying somewhere till you get kicked out, then catching a cab to somewhere else that's 5mins down the road.
  24. Walking out of a club and the sun is up, the birds are chirping, and noticing that the person you've been suck facing is not as attractive as you thought.
  25. Being that person on their way home as people are jogging, and going to work/school.
  26. Doing the walk of shame, either home or out of the club, with shoes in hand.
  27. Choosing a corner to dance in so you can dance like mo fos in your own privacy.
  28. Crying/stacking it/booting/all three.
  29. Sustaining an unidentified party injury.
  30. Making emotional phone calls to friends you haven't spoken to in a while. Or worse, family.
  31. Getting into serious conversations with cab drivers that end with you mocking and insulting them.
  32. Pre-drinks before going out is not an idea, it is a necessity.
