When you go for a night out with friends there’s always the chance that you will have a great time, end up in some lovely photographs and remember absolutely everything.

But there’s also always the chance that you will end up wishing you had just stayed in with a cuppa, can't remember posing for a picture with that guy and will wake up in different clothes than what you went out in.

Speaking of which, these are a few of the things that you’d really rather not see the morning after the night before.

                                     

1) A traffic cone: Yes it’s hilarious but there’s always the fear that a garda will one day come looking for that traffic cone and they will not see the funny side.

2) The toilet bowl: Whether it’s too much wine, mixing vodka and whiskey (which is just crazy) or a dodgy curry before an alcohol-free night the toilet bowl is a sure sign that you have had a rough one.

That last mouthful of chicken seemed like a good idea at the time.

3) A mirror: Panda eyes with a hint of dragged through a hedge backwards. Nice.

4) An arm draped across your chest that you don’t recognise: Nope, you haven’t miraculously grown a third arm overnight and no, you don’t know the person attached to the end of the one draped across your chest. Whatever you do, don’t make any sudden movements.

5) The people who were out with you: They know what you did.

6) A hundred missed calls on your mobile: You have either forgotten to tell your mammy that you got home safely (in which case you’re in serious trouble) or you have done something so scandalous that everyone wants to talk to you about it (in which case you’re in for a serious slagging).

To answer or not to answer, that is the question.

7) The morning sky: It might be a life ambition to wake up to a bright blue sky but after a night on the town, it means one of two things: you are so drunk/tired that you’re delusional or you actually just fell asleep outside.

8) The pictures: Your only saving grace for a wild night out is that it hasn’t been captured on camera. Unfortunately chances are it has and your I’m-trying-not-to-look-mangled-but-I-so-am face is all over Facebook.

9) Any food and/or drink: Be it the bottles from your session, the half-eaten pizza that you couldn’t be bothered throwing out or the fry your mum has just cooked because she loves you so much, eating and drinking is the enemy.

10) The venue: Oh God the flashbacks!
