A local handball team had to cancel a home game on Monday because the floor was too slippery to play on. The cause was a hangover who had comforted him with lubricant and condoms.
It was Hadselhallen in Stokmarknes in Nordland which had well lubricated floors.
A slightly embarrassed Russian boss told Dagbladet that they were having a get-together on the last weekend in September. Before the party, they had ordered too many condoms – and distributed them at the entrance of the party.
– We’ve tried ordering 17,000 condoms. At least that’s what contraceptive managers tried, but they weren’t approved, so less than that, says Russia manager Martine Johansen.
Get laundry fee
The party itself is frictionless. About 300 lively future Russians from all over Vesterålen met in the hall. There is good dj, light sticks and a good atmosphere.
No one thought about the consequences of handing out condoms or noticing slippery floors during parties, the Russian boss said.
– But people might blow up the condom and then the lubricant falls on the floor, says Johansen.
They also didn’t notice anything when they cleaned and washed the next day.
It wasn’t until they received the message from Hadselhallen about the slippery floor that they realized it. They were also asked to pay a NOK 1,500 cleaning fee.
– I have to honestly admit that I was embarrassed after that and I think my fellow drunks were too. “At least I have given a clear message that condoms or lubricants will not be distributed next time,” Johansen said, adding that they had learned from the incident.
– You’re only young once and things like that can happen. Good idea, he said and chuckled.
– Bambi on ice
The coach of the women’s 14 team, Line Pedersen, who canceled Monday’s match, said it was now like being a “baby on ice” at Hadselhallen.
– It was the referee who put his foot down because it was too dangerous to play a match on such a slippery floor, said Pedersen and continued:
– Today there is a practice match between the boys, and they slide.
Pedersen said he had advised Hadselhallen that they should use intimate washing.
– It could go away later, Pedersen joked.
Hadselhallen’s general manager, Erlend Robertsen, told Dagbladet they had washed the floors “countless” times.
– We hope it will go away eventually, he said.
