Random gift of free beer

    I was away for the weekend with the bird, only arrived back to my apartment at around 7pm this evening to find a box of 15 bottles of Heineken outside my door. There are only 8 apartments in our building only one other on my floor which is empty as far as I know. Not sure who or why anyone dropped a box of beer at my door, no note, no nothing. After hours, you guys got any ideas?

    Drink it or don't. But drink it.

    Yeah, dont drink it, unless you love the taste of Rohipnol and like the feeling of a swollen anus.

    Your story reminds me of the time I found a few cans of budweiser on my doorstep one morning with no explanation. Never found out where they came from. I drank them and they were perfectly fine, except for the fact that they tasted like budweiser.

    Do bottles of beer come in 15-packs?

    Only "gay gift" ones.

    Friend of mine got a gift of a bottle of whiskey at work one Christmas. Visited several pubs on the way home and being in a slightly forgetful state left the bottle sitting at the door when he was searching for his keys to get in. The bottle was gone the next morning. A few days later he met the milkman who thanked him profusely for leaving such a generous gift.

    Filled with piss i reckon.

    Better taste one just to be sure.

    I guess it was left overs from a 24 pack or something as they where in a wine or spirit box. I thought maybe the floor below me had a party or something and threw them up for the mouse but I have expected a letter. As I said I wasn't here at the weekend so my theory may be wrong.

    Put them on a wall and make up some sort of song as they accidentally fall.

    I remember watching a crime documentary about a case years ago in America involving Thallium poisoning. The perpetrator had adminstered the poison into coca cola bottles and left the box on the victims doorstep which he and his family duly consumed.

    Not to frighten you or anything but hearing crazy sh1t like that would put me off chancing it..:pac:

    Drink it OP. I'd say someone in the building had a party and that's an "apology"

    That would worry if my door was on the street but my building is fairly secure so culprits would be caught via CCTV or whoever let them in etc. once Thallium doesn't ruin the taste I won't be too worried.

    I don't usually bring my pets on holiday I have to say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭sebastianlieken


    I'd say the neigbours probably had a party or a bit of a domestic and this is there way of appologising for the noise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭CruelCoin


    Is there a logical answer which doesn't contain the words "drink it"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,443 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    I don't usually get 15 bottles of free drink, but if I did.......... i'd drink them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,476 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    The top of each bottle may have been rubbed around an anus therefore rendering the beer bad tasting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Don't look a giftbeer in the horse!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭wicklowwonder


    Drank them last night and ended up locked in Coppers. Lived to tell the tale!

    That was the "phantom" - his MO is to drop off a load of beer at his chosen victims door. Then he returns when you are asleep and harvests your organs, rapes your bird and steals your TV. Heineken don't do nutters, but if they did.... might not be heineken, but all the rest is probably factual.....possibly...
