Go ahead, motherfucker. This is your thread. You post some.

Not your personal request board.

I think one of my favorite hotel stories at a con was last year. We had like... 6 or 7 people in our room and we were all in a state of delirium as it was about 1 am when we all finished showering. We had been making strange noises at each other all day, just finishing our sentences with very loud "HNNNNG" noises or replacing words with "bloodoloop."

So, we turn out the lights, everyone piles into their respective sleeping situation and silence settles.

"Bloodoloop."

And of course, we all start giggling and no one can control themselves. Every time it would start to die down again, someone would make that weird noise again and the laughter would return.

Finally, someone just goes "OH MY GOD WHO IS DOING THAT"

And another friend, who by this point is actually asleep just mumbles "Sorry guys, it was Bloodoloop."

After typing this out, I realized this may not actually be funny to anyone except those of us who experienced it but oh well. tl;dr.

Yulecon 2009

The hotel hosting the convention was all of four stories tall and only had two elevators. It think on Friday night, someone thought it'd be hilarious to take a dump on both elevators. You couldnt ride in either of them without smelling shit, even when it was all cleaned up. It smelled like cleaning chemicals and shit.

>I don't have anything to contribute so I'm gonna sage a potentially good thread because I'm a faggot.

Here's a story for you OP. Sharing a suit with like 6 other people. 5 said people are either waiting in the lobby or the con-center while we wait for the person who''s name the room is under to get there. Never informs the hotel that either of us can put the hotel on one of our perfectly usable credit cards, and no one can get ahold of them. They get to the hotel around 11pm...

Our suit was given to someone else. 6 people cram into a one-bed room, the only thing the hotel room has left. Shitsucked :(

>>3420756
Comic con was one of my favorite cons to room with folks. Filled with Old Spice Jokes, webcam chats with friends and lots of Law and Order SVU

AX was another amazing hotel experience. Lots of jokes, Street fighter, and the world cup goes with the guile theme. Also Bas Rutten wants to know, would you like Ben 10? OR BAKUGAN?!

>>3420758

Only hotel story I have involving anime cons.
Otakon of this year, I got locked out of my hotel room and so did this Bleach cosplayer who was 1 door down from me. We spent about 15 minutes talking to each other in the hallway till is people arrived, then mine came by about 5 min later. He was such a sweetie. :3 lol

It was my first time at AX this year and there were like... 8 of us on two queen beds and a push away bed. We ended up pushing the two queens together and all sleeping in like... Mounds of ridiculousness.

So, one night, we're up late watching Bring it On while my boyfriend sleeps on the roll away. We finish the movie at like... 2am and have to move the bed so we can push the queens together. We had moved the bed before and not disturbed him so we didn't think twice about it.

Two of the guys get up to move him, and they barely touch the bed, and boyfriend SHOOTS UP, suddenly wide awake. Both of the guys flipped shit, one fell over and the other sprinted to the bathroom.

I think I just about peed myself I was laughing so hard.

>>3420800
Something like this happened to me. I was wearing Azula, which was a SUPER uncomfortable costume and I go back to the hotel room to change because I was told someone was in there and could let me in. When I get there, I realize no one is there so I call some friends and someone says they'll come let me in.

I sat there for about five minutes before another girl in my room who I didn't know super well came up because she also thought someone would let her in. We ended up flopping around on the floor half in costume just talking for like... 20 minute until someone showed up.

Now we're really close.

PROTIP: a 3 guys to 7 girls ration is NOT fun, even if you are just visiting the hotel room for two hours before the rave. It's 20x worst if you're shy around girls and if the girls are talking about shit that you consider outlandish.

>>3420988
Just a note: I've been on the minority end of a 1 girl to 6 guys room and that's also very unfun.

Polite sage, for no story.

GOOD: Meeting my boyfriend at my first real real convention. :3 We were both dating other people at the time, but the relationships went sour, and I'm so happy our friendship could grow into the relationship we have now.

BAD: At A-kon, I always share a room with a minimum of around five people, my con buddies. One year, the fire alarm was pulled in the middle of the night by some fucktard. We all shuffle downstairs, piss and moan until they let us back in, and come back up to our hotel only to hear the alarm go off a few minutes later. Only it wasn't the full sound, only the first half of the siren repeating over and over and over. Turns out the alarm on our floor somehow BROKE. And it kept making this noise for AN HOUR before they could fix it. I tried to drown it out, but all my roommates did was bitch and make it that much less pleasant.

NEVER AGAIN WILL I RECRUIT PEOPLE FROM MESSAGE BOARDS/ FACEBOOK.

They were friends, but by Sunday, I was ready to punch a bitch in the face.

In every hotel I've been in during a con we always manage to stay up pretty late. At some point in our hotel(ALWAYS Day 0) everybody in the hotel room just bursts out laughing and shit. Everything gets funny.

This happens at every con I go to always on day 0.

Quick question: Which is better? Renting a hotel or renting a hostel? I know, not relate but meh.

inb4 yawningglory

>>3421083
The hotel closest to the convention. Or the hotel the convention is being held in

>>3420758

>>3421085
inb4 kicked out laughingelf.jpg

>>3421090
Meh, let me rephrase that.

Say hotels that is near or is holding the convention are all booked for the weekend of the convention. Also say you're a college student who can only afford to buy books, music gear, pay the bills and you were lucky enough to set aside for cosplay and conventions.

You got money for a decent price hotel but also, you wanna save and go to a hostel.

What are the pros and cons of both hotels and hostels?

>>3421099
>>3421099
I don't really think it matters so long as you have a place to stay that isn't too far. But the people who I stay at hotels with for cons are pretty picky about where they stay so they always get the hotels close by

So this AX I decided that I wanted to have OPULENCE CON and stay at the Ritz. It was pretty fucking awesome.
At one point on Friday it was decided that bubble bath needed to be found so there could be bubbles in the Xboxhuge bathtub that spilled into a shower and was the coolest thing ever.
Alas, there was no bubble bath in the room. Or downstairs. Or in the spa.
The concierge lady who was helping us searched for an hour and when nothing turned up, called our room, terribly apologetic and asked if there was anything else we would like.
We said 'no worries' and that we more than appreciated her assistance and proceeded to have a good time anyway.
Cut to Saturday as we are getting ready for the masq when we hear a knock on the door.
All of our members (and stage ninja) are accounted for so we have no clue who this is.
It was super awesome concierge lady with a fucking room service tray that had a rubber ducky, chocolate, a ritz carlton lion plushy, and a giant bottle of aveno bubble bath with a hand written note thanking us for our understanding and hoping we enjoy the bubble bath they went out and bought for us.
I wanted to cry. It was the coolest thing a hotel has ever done for my friends and I.
After our stay, I called the Ritz general management and gave our concierge the most glowing review possible. I hope she gets everything she deserves for being such an awesome hostess.

>>3421139
That's awesome! I love it when people go above and beyond what's expected when it comes to customer service. I'm sure the concierge really appreciated your warm comments to the manager as well :3

Oh wow, my hotel room at AX was fucking amazing. Many awesome things happened: Sandwiching, Beatlemania, Spooning, "Guys do we want the pizza?", Lesbian Pterodactyles, DOOOOSHIIIOOUUU?, Watching the World Cup and Maury....

I just realized that nobody will understand this except for us, lol.

>>3421166
And she deserved all of it.

Many inside jokes form in hotel rooms. I love it.

PAINT MY GLASSES, PAINT MY GLASSESSSSS

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT!

HARRIS USED HEADBUTT
DOOR USED HARDEN

Katsucon 2009, walked into a crowded elevator with 2 friends. This really depressed looking guy gets on on the next floor with some friends and goes "People, people... I have an announcement to make... My girlfriend just cheated on me."

Everyone cheered and he high fived him, we had a nice celebration in that elevator. Then my friend siddled up next to him and said "I'm sorry about the situation, man, but given the circumstances... can I get some digits, bro?"

>>3421238
that's pretty cold bro

>>3421247

For what it's worth, he started all the high fiving and his friends started the cheering.

It was me, my best friend from high school, and two mutual good friends, a girl and her brother. My best friend had her girlfriend, which was cool with all of us. Then there was the random friend of my best friend, who none of us had met. Six people in a room with a king bed and pull out couch. We're all good with it.

My best friend is in charge of the room, she's reliable. She says no more people, too cramped and we didn't have enough space. We all agreed.

Come con time, we're waiting in line for badges. All six of us together. Suddenly my best friend turns and says she invited another random guy to stay with us, last minute. He claimed he drove 5+ hours there with no plans on a room and was going to sleep in his car.

I was pissed, and I told my best friend this, but she insisted he stayed so I let him. Didn't want the poor guy getting raped. But still was super pissed. She was unreliable the rest of the con and now I'm pretty much drifted apart from her, due to other reasons.

Fucking rage, cause she even makes jokes with the macro of "7 people in a room? Hey can my 3 friends join last minute?" bullshit.

Not that great of a story, but whatever~

My first con out of the state, I went with an excursion group and we were booked in this really really nice hotel, and everything seemed great, until my roomate walked in.
She had the greasiest hair ever, and kinda remind me of Sadako from The Ring. In my first day of con, I proceded to some shopping and bought the entire Ranma 1/2 collection, except for number 28, which was not availible.
When we got back to the hotel, I left my stuff on the room and went to dinner with the rest of the group, but my roomate stayed.
I came back to the room about 2am, and it was... nightmarish. There HAIR everywhere, the bathroom was soaked and my stuff were all over the place. The freak was sitting on her bed with her head bent down and when I asked "What the hell?" she looked at me and shouted "WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY NUMBER 28??"
I didn't even remember the manga, then she pointed "THE MANGA, THERE'S NO 28!!"
Needless to say, she scared the hell out of me, I packed everything and asked to change rooms.
*shivers* Creep.

Stayed in a hotel where we were roomstuffing. Made a mistake and desensitized my room key and couldn't get back in. I thought the hotel had my name under it but apparently it was under another one of the room mates.

Turns out I have an identical twin and our names are similair and she was under the room's name so when they were checking out my picture in order to give me a roomkey they thought they made a typo and gave me a key anyways.

The guard who let me into my room in order to get my wallet was a pretty cool guy.

Reading this, I realized how sad I am because I have no friends ;_;

>>3421305
then make friends, it's not that hard bro, I meet people new at every convention.

>>3421305
D'aww <3

Has /cgl/ ever experienced hidden pictures under hotel paintings???

link to what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9VA6bLJJaA&feature=player_embedded

First year I go to a con with a hotel under my name (actually my parents, but whatever), I roomed with my boyfriend at the time, and some friends. Now, this was also the first year I was participating in cosplay events, so I was really excited to be there! The only one who hadn't paid was my boyfriend... who showed up with his female roommate who also was an ex-girlfriend of his, claiming she had nowhere to stay because her hotel-mates ditched last minute, but was good for the money, just had to hit an atm later.

Me, being the naive sack of ass that I was, accepted this, got into my costume, kissed him goodbye, and told him what panel room to be at in an hour to come see me. Cue after the event, my friends had come, but said that he said to meet up and never showed up.

Soooo I head upstairs and catch the bastard balls deep. Silly me, believing there was nothing between the two. Kicked both of them out of the room that night, never got paid for his share of the room, and ended up spending the rest of my weekend with the guy who would become my next boyfriend a few years later...

That relationship didn't end well either. I'm really just starting to question my taste in men.

>>3421139
You go Glenn Coco!!!

First time I went to Anime Wasabi, my group and I showed up at the wrong hotel. We wandered around for a while, a very lost and out of place Edward Elric, Hazama, and ballgown Miku. The hotel was kinda fancy and everyone there just stared at us because we waved at them.

Fun times.

>>3421320
not so easy for super-shy guys.

Oh Jesus.

My hotel mates and I were throwing a party. Random girl- that no one knows- shows up because she heard us from down the hall.
Weaboo bitch in shitty costume proceeds to get wasted on the liquor WE bought, gorge like a fat ass on chips, and make out with everyone who was wasted.
When everyone was laying down, ready to pass out (but not yet asleep), she proceeded to creep into one guy's bed and fuck him in the loudest, most foul way possible, while people were littered all over the floor smashing pillows over their ears.
She also fucked him in the bathroom the next morning while we were all getting dressed, and left her smelly, soaked undergarments all over the bathroom.

>>3421475
was she at least hot? because that excuses the guy somewhat at least.

>>3421376
You just gave me a good idea now...

>>3421480
She was hot, so I guess it's understandable, but it was totally shameless and just.. ugh. Really awkward for the rest of us.

My story is kind of boring, but it was a good memory.

I'm standing in the hall of this hotel talking with my friends when all of a sudden this chick starts shouting at me from the elevator.
She's like, "hey dude, I've got beer. Come up!"
Everyone's asking me if I know her, but I have never seen her in my life. We decided to take the free booze anyway.

Turns out, we're from the same town (though we never met/know anyone in common) so we start vibing about that shit. Her boyfriend brings out shittons of drinks and we get smashed.

We later head back to my hotel room and pop some pills. We're at a con, but we have no fucking interest in the events. I mean, we watch the stuff, but that's a closet hobby.

Anyway, pop the pills, get more shitfaced, and dance our ways on stage at the rave.
Meet up with another random friend and head back to his room where his roomies filled the entire bath tub with ice.

We took off our clothes, laid in the ice, and proceeded to giggle-fit until we couldn't breath. Then busted another friend out while she was trying to get head from one of the roomies, and let everyone in the room to laugh (she was a virgin with a serious fear of sex.. I thought it nice to embarrass the shit out of her for her first time <3).

It was a good night.

Nothing aweful but this past Otakon I was in charge of hotel room. My friend tells me the day before that there were two people staying in our room just for a night, and they'd pay part of the share. So I say okay. I see them when I wake up early in the morning but don't get a good view because it's dark in my room.

Later that day I'm in the room and two people knock on the door. I open, they say they're just picking up some bags they had dropped off. I assumed they were the two people who had spent the night. They grab their bags and leave.

Later that night, I'm in my room with some other friends when one of the guys come back for another bag. He gets it and leaves.

Even later, I ask everyone in my room if they had allowed two people to leave bags in my room. I said I didn't have a problem with it, just wanted to know who they knew. NOBODY KNEW WHO THEY WERE.

Even now I have no idea who they were or why they were keeping things in our room. They seemed nice, and nothing was stolen from the room, so IDK.

>>3421525
That sounds kind of awesome. I'm glad it was good experience, though.

ITT: people post their inside jokes without any context because they need everyone to know how POPULAR and HILARIOUS they are, but the stories behind them aren't really that funny

>>3421581
No one really knows how the jokes came about. All we know is that drunk Sieg is responsible for them due to their non-nonsensical nature.
Well, at least for the FAnime Baller suite.

Now if you can explain why we laughed our asses off when we were trying to not wake up Sieg, who had decided to make the small closet near the entrance his sleeping room, and he popped out only to say "'EYO, BITCH!" like a damn muppet...

I was just in Vegas.

We slept 8 people in 1 room that had 2 beds. Bathroom ended up being grosser than I would like, but everyone was respectful of everyone else's space and stuff.

And we were walking down the hallway at 3 in the morning, and some woman opened her door and screamed

I JUST DRUNK DIALED MY EX BOYFRIEND'S MOM. I CAN'T HAVE ANYMORE. I'M EVIL. ONE OF YOU TAKE THIS SHIT FROM ME.

And that's how I got a free half-bottle of Jack Daniels.

My boyfriend went to Otakon for the first time this year and had to get the cheapest hotel he could find. It was cheap for a reason.
It was five floors with no elevator, the bathroom sink didn't work (luckily there was a mini kitchen with a sink), the inn keeper had a cat and didn't mention it on the website (my bf is allergic), and housekeeping stole his ipod (which they eventually found and sent back, but still...)

Well, it's not exactly funny, but when I was in 10th grade going to my second con, I lived about half an hour away and my selfless mother was driving me back and forth, which was a huge hassle on her at the time. Still, I was kind of a selfish asshole so I didn't think much of it. I met a few people there who just out of the blue invited me to stay at their hotel. My mom actually said it was ok... sometimes I wonder how I made it out of childhood alive.

Anyway they were really cool people and we had a good night's rest and I'll never forget their kindness (they didn't even charge me, they only had 4 people to a 2 bed room). Still, looking back, I could have totally been raped, though I was a pretty fat dude so I don't think it was very likely.

>>3421699
>>3421699

Call your mom and tell her you love her. RIGHT NOW.

>>3421650
And I'm sure he could've found a much cheaper hotel that, albeit not having more than three floors and no mini kitchens, had a fully functional bathroom and no pets in it.
Badly behaved staff, on the other hand, I have no idea about.

Me and a buddy went to anime central back in the day. To make the trip cheaper we roomed with a girl he knew on some message board. The girl looked like an albino pig. But she seemed nice enough. Things went well for us until it was time for her to pay up for her share of the room. She only paid for 2/3 of her share. She claimed that is all she planned to pay cause she had no more money. We knew she had more and she even bought tons of stuff. She claimed that money wasn't hers and she could not use it.

Fuck you albino hog beast. You were the only negative in a very cool trip. My friend wanted to argue with her but I figured it wasn't worth it. When you look like she did your life sucks already.

>>3420756
I'm very picky about who I room with.
That said, the rooms are pretty much drama/party-free and every one is respectful of each other's property and space.

Feels good, man.

Every time I've stayed in someone's room it's been overpriced and a disaster.

I've started being in charge of rooms now. I use these magical things call expedia/hotwire/priceline/ect so that my rooms end up being at least 40 dollars cheaper.

I try not to put more than 5 people in a room but for AWA I've got 8 people.
The room is over sized and has a separate bedroom along with a full kitchen so I think we'll be good.

One con my friend is sleeping under a desk in the hotel room. She starts snoring like a chainsaw so another roommate pokes her to wake her up. She sits straight up and SLAMS her head into the desk. Falls back down. Doesn't comment.

Roommate tells friend she was snoring. Her response. "No I wasn't." An argument ensues with her announcing "I wasn't snoring! I wasn't even asleep!" It is at that point we realize she's still asleep.

In the morning she has a huge knot on her head, is sick, and has no memory of her argument the night before. Turns out she got a mild concussion from the desk whack.

>>3421650
I live in Baltimore, whats the name of that hotel so never let friends stay there

I always have fun con hotel rooms. I'm a raging alcoholic so I only room with people who drink/are cool with drinking. a friend and I got so trashed at A-Kon we wandered the halls looking for mixers...and as a result scored so much free shit. an entire pizza, a case of soda, chips, etc etc. brought the haul back to the room and threw a party. felt good man

I have this one friend who's recently stopped rooming with us but I swear to god, he would open his bag and just throw his shit everywhere. One year, he left a con early and left like, half his shit behind.

With six or so people in a room, things get pretty tight as it is, but for the more part things stayed near the bag they came in. His crap was everywhere.

We got a two room suite.. My fuckbuddy at the time (a girl) and me (a girl) take one room of it that night. We turn on the television to drown out the resulting noise. First my friend in the other half of the room wanders in having forgotten her contacts. She stares at us for ten seconds before realizing we are completely naked and engaged in coitus of some type. She flees and laughs at me the entire next day.

Skip ahead some minutes and I'm about to go down on her. She yanks me up by my hair and points to the television. On Adult Swim, Death Note is on and Light is doing the "I will take this potato chip and EAT IT" line. Apparently Death Note>cunnilingus. We should have turned it to CNN or something.

>>3421637

Funny you mention that, because I scored some free liquor at the last con I went to. I'm kind of scared of tearing into it, because I have no idea what it is, and the descriptions on the internet don't really give me a good idea of what I'd be drinking (I'll probably try a little bit the night before a day when I don't have to work, lol). The VERY inconsiderate person in my room must have left it there - and considering his shit was everywhere, he got one of my friends trashed by lying about the alcohol content in her drink, and tried to get with two of the girls in my room while they were either A) sleeping or B) case with my other friend, who had EMTs over her the next day because of the shit he mixed to "help her feel better" about something causing her anxiety.

It's mine now bitch.

P.S. - I'm that "Natalie girl" from the thread about my Facebook update. A good friend of mine made that costume for me - my skills are kind of shit, but I have fun in what I wear :)

This past San Japan I spent most of it with my twin friends and they were both on the glow stick staff for the rave and what not. I went with them to their room (I was in my Ash cosplay) and we walk in and there's about 5 girls and older women dressing and in their underwear.

One of the girls squeals really loud and another starts yelling at me- "ARE YOU A BOY!? WHAT THE HELL, GET OUT YOU PERV!"

I had to pull up my shirt to show them the bindings on my chest. We just laughed it off and left later.

When we came back for the dance that night, I was in a dress and they didn't know I was the Ash from earlier so they were telling me about how I walked in on them while they were changing.

I never told them lol

It's funny because even though I showed them I'm a girl, they probably shouldn't have relaxed, because I'm a lesbian and I acted normal but was perving hard core inside.

THEY WERE HOT.

My first con ever. My girlfriend had been going to it for years with her friends, so she invited me to come a few months after we started going out. I had never been to a con before, and really didn't know exactly what to expect. We were rooming with some of her friends from college and HS, none of whom I had ever met (She had moved after college). Nevertheless, I didn't really know what to expect from them. Eitherway though, I was as much an outsider to them as they were to me so there was the initial awkwardness the day before. We got some drinks and I rigged a gravity bong in the bathroom. None of them were big drinkers, and I think only one had ever smoked before so it all hit them like trucks. We got to the hotel at maybe 2 or 3pm the day before the con, and by 9pm that night....we were all somewhere between the earth and the moon. They showed me a bunch of different animes and mangas and such, and I showed them how to play some games and about comics. It was like we had our own drunken/high convention in the hotel room the night before. I'm pretty sure without it, I'd have been confused as fuck all weekend.

AnimeNEXT 2008. One of my friends had the awesome-on-paper idea of getting an executive suite at Embassy Suites and having some dozen and a half people pack in. I was stupid since it was only my second con out of state, so I didn't even bat an eyelash when the hotel tried to crack down on people doing this. "Let's just sneak back in in small numbers? Pretend we're friends from another hotel? Okay! Fuck that, I'm here to enjoy the con, tell me when the drinking starts and then I'll roll back in fashionably late!"

Turns out that the Embassy Suites was more pissed about this than we realized, since people were doing the same thing last year. It was the reason they refused to open up their meeting hall for 2007's awesome game room, and let one of the shittier hotels handle it in some room that was half the size and goddammit a fucking fire hazard whenever tournaments went on. Not that I minded if I got to bring my laptop in and merc people at Melty Blood and Jewpuncher.

The next thing I knew though, my laptop refused to turn on; SHIT BROKE. And when 1am-ish came around and I tried to get back to the room, it was raining dildos outside and my Ranma cosplay got drenched. I used silk for the top and the slippers were cheap shit you could get at Chinatown, so it was effectively ruined. And when I got in, the hotel refused to let me upstairs unless I paid, all because it was past 12 and they "knew" I was gonna stay up there for the night.

My friend called me and told me in the nicest way she could "why the fuck did you do that? I'm sorry, we gotta cut our losses."

I ended up staying at another friend's hotel room in my ruined costume. Their booze was almost all gone, and save for maybe some lulztastic games of Akatsuki and ZSNES fighters (battery port fried, but not the adapter), it was a horrible night. I couldn't sleep at all and I had to pay for the evening too, since my friend wasn't the one in charge of the room. And then my slippers started molding.

So I've always been curious, how many of these other cons you guys go to fill up their hotels? I've been going to A-Kon in Dallas TX for many years now and every year I've been, the Adam's Mark (as of last year renamed the Sheraton) fills up completely. And this is like a 36 story three towered hotel. Not only that, it then spills over to the nearby Hyatt and comes very very close to filling that one up too. And the cool part about all of this is that it's so awesome to know that you can walk anywhere in the hotel and know that you'll be around people who're there for the same reason as you are. Hell, that's half the fun of the con I think, staying 3 days in a hotel full of insanity.

So for all the other cons, do you guys' hotels fill?

Also, as for the story, the first year I attended this con (consequently, the first year I attended ANY con...wanna talk about a culture shock?) me and a handful of very close high school friends did a skit involving Twilight Princess Link, Windwaker Link, Zelda and 8-bit link, and it ended up taking first place out of about 70 entries (they judge the walk-ons and skits together for first place) .By far one of my favorite memories of cons.

>>3421869
I have zero tolernance for messy luggage. I always warn hotel roommates of this. If it's anywhere near me I'll fold it all up and put it in a neat pile, and if the owner is annoying I put the stuff in a bag and put it behind the curtains and say I tidied up a bit and threw out some junk.

I don't room with multiple people at cons anymore, thankfully. I just go with my girlfriend. Who is super messy. Ffffffuuuuuu

Holy hell, I have been waiting for this thread since Otakon. This story is about cockblocking Hetalia fags.

The boytoy and I were staying with six other people in our hotel room. By Saturday, we still hadn't had any time to ourselves, but by some miracle everyone else decided to go to the rave. They were leaving right as we were coming back from dinner. Scooooore. Ran inside, put his Edgeworth cravat on the door handle, secured the door. However, it took us a while to get out of cosplay. (inb4 "just leave it on," because there's no way I'm getting the costume I spent over a hundred hours on ruined.) By the time I'd taken my wig off and all the pincurls out, the boy heard something coming from down the hall. "SERIOUSLY?" followed by similar complaints... en masse. As I was topless and lying on the bed, I had really hoped that the comments weren't aimed at our cleverly-placed signal. Really, really hoped.

At our door, a voice called, "It's B---, can I come in to change for the rave?" B is one of the people staying in our room that I know better, so I figured that we might as well let her in for a minute. I'd just cover myself with the blanket. The boy, boxer-clad, answered the door. And B came in... followed by no fewer than thirteen lesbian Hetalia cosplayers, who began to catcall incessantly: "Whoa, what's going on in here?" "Did we interrupt something?" "KISS! KISS!!" "OOO SEXY TIME, BOW CHICKA WOW WOW!" "DO IT! We're not watching... much!" Followed by a bunch of jokes related to how they were countries.

>>3423449

Then, one by one, they began to use our bathroom, which had been running out of toilet paper and tissues already. The rest of them continued to act like the boy and I were doing this as fanservice just for them, though I was still sitting with the blanket over me and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, doing absolutely nothing. When B was done changing (must have taken five minutes already), she decided that she didn't actually want to go in that outfit and spent yet ANOTHER five minutes changing into something else. Then, when she'd finally gotten her fucking Hetalia fag friends out of the room, they congregated in the hallway. And stayed there.

The boy and I sort of just stared at each other, wondering if that did indeed just happen. And then, swift fucking (in case they should attempt to come in again)... only to realize upon cleaning up afterward that the fags had indeed wasted our toilet paper supply.

Later, I found out that when B came into the room, she had texted our other friend M----- and told her she couldn't go back to the room (when all she needed were some feminine supplies), which caused a night of drama between them when B promised M to bring them but blew her off for, yes, the very same Hetalia fags. God dammit, I would have let M in, too, at that point--we were just about ready to give up with those idiots as it was.

Moral of the story: Don't be a cockblocking Hetalia fag.

I was in a ratio of 5 guys to 1 girl at Acen thsi year, but it was pretty damn awesome because all of the buys I roomed with where pretty damn awesome. We are actually planning on having all of the same people again next year.

It was actually one of the first years ever where there was ZERO dramu in the room.

>>3423454
>>at Acen thsi year,

>>because all of the buys

I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Please excuse my retarded spelling mistakes.

>>3423454
I wish I had male friends who weren't dramufags

>>3423460
The only drama I've ever had with any of my bros is one guy constantly ending up in trouble with hotel security. Luckily he has the consideration not to bring whatever he's doing into our room.

Usually it's the ladies that are drama. Though all my experiences have been pretty low-grade.

>>3423467
all the ones I know flip out all the time and pin the dramu on the ladies. they vilified this girl I know.

>>3423480
are they gay? just ooc.

Sure is collarme.com in here.

for each other, maybe. they do bear several similarities to a sorority.

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. Damn =/

>>3423493
>>3423486

Or not using any names, and gender conveniently separates him from the girls.

Acen 2009.
Roomates would not stop snoring.
Nuff said.

This year was my first time rooming with trips.

I've never had a spot of drama at a convention before, but I start rooming with them and suddenly drama everywhere.

I can't believe /cgl/ was right.

Ohayocon. Can't even remember the year. '07? 4:30 am Saturday night. Dance has been over for a half hour but we aren't ready to go to sleep, so we hang around in the lobby.

Cute guy we hung out with at the dance is in the lower lobby passed out in a chair. We begin to remove our glowsticks and throw them at him. They're bouncing off his face and he doesn't even twitch in his sleep. His friends are nearly pissing themselves laughing. Finally one clocks him right in the eye and he jolts awake and asks his friends where the glowsticks came from and why his face hurt. I laughed so hard I cried.

Get on the elevator to go up to our room. Elevator doors open to reveal about 20 people screaming, a guy in a panda suit, and Jesus yelling "WELCOME MY CHILDREN" and pulling the 3 of us inside the elevator. The elevator doors close and the weight alarm goes off, and when the elevator starts to go up everyone starts to jump and yell "UHNTISS UHNTISS UHNTISS UHNTISS" We ride with the elevator rave for the next 15 minutes.

That was the best elevator experience ever. It was also funny because every time I got on an elevator and my friends chose to take the stairs instead of wait, I ended up on the elevator with awesome people, so they finally got to join my elevator luck.

I think this was AnimeNEXT a few years back. Found a 21+ room on coscom. One bed, 7 people, so we were packed in like sardines on the floor. 3 of the guys knew each other from college.

Everyone brought liquor, so we put it in the fridge over night. Saturday we all did the usual convention stuff, but we happen to all get back to the room around the same time in the evening. We get some ice from the machine for our drinks and proceed to throw a few back. Everyone's good and toasty, so we head out and walk the convention center. We geek out on cartoons and video games and cosplay. Good times.

Buzz is wearing off, so I went to some late night panel. The others went to the rave. I get back to the hotel around 1am; 2 of them are back and sound asleep. I slip into my space on the floor and nod off. About an hour later the rest come back. But <X> is missing. One guy says "Have you guys seen <X>? We got separated at the rave and can't find him." We go out and look, don't find him. I tell them to call con security and the police. We go back to the hotel room and <X> is back. His friend asks "Where have you been?" Turns out he got into a fight at the rave and had been hiding. We all go to sleep.

Wake up Sunday morning, <X> is gone. Turns out he didn't hide well enough. Apparently someone was able to identify him, so when he went back to the convention center Sunday morning to buy some stuff from the dealer's room they told him he was kicked out for fighting at the rave. He promptly packed up his stuff and left.

Recently at a con we had like 7 people in one room. The room was bigger than we expected too so we were all thrilled it wasn't going to be cramped. Except this one guy, I swear he took up half the room. He just brought WAY too much stuff! It wasn't that bad at first, but by the end of the weekend it was EVERYWHERE. Reminds me to pack light at cons and not bring excess things I know I won't use.

I respect not wanting to identify people you know by their real names but why not use fake names instead of placeholders like B--- and <x>?

>>3424052

Haven't had that happen at a Con, but it did happen at paintball tournament one time. We got rooms with our sister team and had a party the second night (we were out of the tournament at that point). Some dumbass kid who'd only drank a glass of champagne at his parent's wedding drank nearly an entire bottle of cheap ass scotch by himself. Around 4am, he went Boomer on all of us in the hotel room. I was unfortunately one of the ones who was passed the fuck out so I missed it, but definitely woke up with puke and vomit in my hair.

>>3420758
You didn't finish cleaning the sand out of your vagina.

So what, you guys just randomly group up and split a hotel room/costs?

>>3423808
sounds like WAY too much fun lol

I had some of the best times at a con this year JUST because of the hotel room, the con itself sucked due to ex-boyfriend drama.

Saturday night of the con, after a delightful bout of drama from the guy and his new girlfriend, I go back to the hotel room with my friends where, without a word, one of them just hands me a glass of vodka with the stern order to drink. The night before, drama had caused tears and missing the rave (a lot of crying happened that weekend), and he was trying to avoid it. His girlfriend got the internet in the room working, pulled out my laptop, and started up a webchat with one of my friends online.

Three glasses of vodka later we start talking cosplay and she mentions she wants to do a costume and looked it up on cosplay.com, finding what she called the "most unfortunate looking girl I have ever seen". Sends a link. It's my ex's new girlfriend.

While I'm being given glass after glass of vodka and jokes about the girl are being made, the friend via webcam says the funniest thing. "I can't even hate the girl, I just feel so BAD for her.", followed by my friend's girlfriend saying "I saw a picture of her once... hurt to pee for two weeks after."

It made the next day a little easier, still ended in tears, but made it easier. It may be petty, but knowing that everyone I talk to tells me that I'm prettier than the new girl, nicer than the new girl, and just generally the better choice make it easier for me to get over him. If he'd rather date THAT then I really do not need his attention, and it really made me appreciate my friends.

Also the jokes continue to each con, she's become the new inside joke to everyone I know who's seen a picture of her.

>>3420758
What's with this attitude on /cgl/ recently?

Just to let you know, OP, not everyone is a dipshit like this guy.

>step into elevator, there's a priest
>he looks at us funny, asks us what's going on
>try to explain to him conventions and cosplaying
>"Is that like your religion?"

Pic related, my face when this happened.

Oh man I was at Anime Boston '10 and we were staying at this awesomely awful hotel called the Buckminster...This place was a complete shithole man. But at least I had my best friends with me. I can't say the same for the douchefag who stayed with us though.

Since we needed to all get up early we all agreed that we would wake up at 7 am. Guy says okay. But the fag woke up at like 6 and made as much noise as he humanly could in the bathroom. Then once he's done makes a shit ton of noise leaving.

Now I'm the one who gets up earlier out of the group to wake everyone up and I go into the bathroom. The asshole left water all over the floor till the point where there was puddles and all of the towels were drenched. I have never ever raged so hard in my life. Not only that the bed was a piece of wood dressed up as a bed and the floor was cement hiding as carpet. The only good things about this con were;
1. I met the best friends I could ever have. And
2. We all bought FF13 and played the shit outta it when we got back home.

>>3424582
Shush. Sometimes it's ok to be petty. Many moons ago, I started talking to some random person (yea for customer service!) and come to find out, he knew my ex. He honestly didn't believe me when I said who I was because of all the shit talking his new girl and my ex did. I was still kinda reeling from the breakup, so him telling me that I was 100 times prettier and far more nicer than they told him I was made my day and made the breakup a bit more bearable. Me and the guy are now buddies and I gloated a bit when I heard he got married and his wife (same girl) broke down crying to my bud, telling him that none of the kids are his.
Feels good man. lol
I have a shitload more stories of being petty, cause there are some fucked up bitches around here who are in their 20's 30's and 40's trying to start up some high school drama. Hell, I had one girl that I had not seen in over 6 years try to start shit with me over stuff that actually DID happen in HS.

>>3424604
That makes me feel better, I've been trying to take the high road as well as I can... but it really does make me feel better when people tell me what an ugly bitch they think she is.

From what I've heard from mutual friends, the entire time I was dating the guy, she belittled him constantly on his personality, sexual prowess, and self esteem. Then, once they were together, a nice rumor that I'd started sleeping around started, and talking about how sick my relationship with him had been.

Petty is petty, but it does a girl mighty fine to hear she's prettier than the new girl. Aren't men supposed to step up when they break up with a girl?

Fanime 2005 - my friend's boyfriend cheated on her with Sailor Mercury. She didn't think it was as funny as I did.
Fanime 2007 - sharing a room with an annoying attention whore, fat whiny bitch, and a fighting couple. Not the best rooming situation.

>claims she's over it
>making excuses for pettiness
>dwelling on it with strangers on the internet

Otakon '10. 7 people, 5 cosplayers, 3 straight days of housekeeping refusal, 2 many people need to shave their legs, 1 dead bathroom by the end of the con.

Near the Hynes in Boston on a side street is this little place called the Oasis Guest House. It's this tiny place with a max allowance of 2 to a room and for damn good reason. The room a friend and I got this last year had enough room for a double bed, a dresser, and NOTHING else. I had to cram myself into what space we had just to lie down. At least the price was right and it sure as hell beat finding that all our friends were going to bail and leave us with a $200+ room.

>>3421861
Biltmore Suites. It looked like it could have been a nice place if they actually knew how to take care of it.

>>3424631
u mad?

>>3424582
I had a similar thing happen (minus the crying). I broke up with my boyfriend and he imidiately ran off with some other chick who is not as pretty nor as nice as me. When I meet random people and I find out they know my ex and his new girl, they are always like "She's really annoying ALL the time and you are so much prettier than her".
Also slowly all of our mutual friends who had tried to accept her now hate her and wish she would leave. This makes me want to giggle evily for some reason...

Thumbs up for being much more awesome than new girl but sadface at ruined con experience

Otakon 2 years ago myself and my room mates discovered pubes/hair clipping all over our bathtub one morning. Led to an awesome convo about pube types and trimming techniques.

>>3424680
Hmm. Never heard of it. Never really looked for a hotel in the same city I live in though. Thanks for the heads up

>>3423808
First story in this thread that actually made me physically laugh <3

Otakon this year, we were all sitting in the lobby waiting to get into our room Friday morning, dicking around the program guide (all the faces matched up... so my friend tore them into windows to put different faces to the bodies, it was kind of hilarious) when all of a sudden this guy gets off the elevator and walks by.

He's got a curly mustache and an accordion. I have no idea why, but it was all sorts of epic so I asked for a picture. I'm pretty sure he had no idea the con was going on... but wtf, mustache and an accordion. I couldn't pass it up.

Rooming with someone I hadnt met before, spent half the weekend having sex with some underage girl, and Saturday night, went out, got drunk, OD'd on antidepressants, passes out , ex comes in curses him out for hours between crying, and hes taken off by the paramedics.

At least he paid his half of the room

Anime NEXT 2010

First time renting a hotel with friends. Only 4 people in the room. Went to bed comfortably. 3 people fit in the bed with lots of space, one in a metapod-like sleeping bag in front of the A/C. Very very nice. Bed was comfortable as fuck.

Wake up, see 3 more people in the room. 2 are guys, the room was only for girls, one of the guys smelled /horrid/, the other was just. There. The last one was a chinky weaboo girl screaming and making noise, ruining us waking up and half our day.

Fucking bitch.

Anime Banzai 2009 in Salt Lake City, UT.

Pretty much, I find out the morning of the con, (Friday) that the hotel room I was told was going to be for that Friday and Saturday night was only for Saturday night. I was told this by my "friend" and she quite rudely told me to find another place to stay for Friday night. I was from out of state, so I had no place for my suitcase and ended up keeping it in the hotel fucking vault for most of the con. Saturday morning, I ask if there's a place to put my stuff just for the time being, she told me I can store it in a friend of her's room, but conviently forgot to mention the room number and left me high and dry.

Then, Saturday night she wanted me to pay 1/3rd of the hotel cost for a room with six people.

Thank GOD for people who live close to hotels for conventions.

3am @ A-Kon this past year. Most of the room is already asleep, myself and my b/f are still awake and getting ready to crash the hell out when someone in the hall goes tearing past, banging on doors and yelling "FIRE!"

Instantly we're up, we check the hallway and find what looks to be smoke near the elevator banks. I get my Con Big Sister Mode on and start rousing the girls, finding shoes and purses and trying to get a hold of two of our group that are still running around the convention hall. One of my friends ended up needing her inhaler since JFC we were on like the twenty-somethingeth floor and it looked like we'd have to scurry our asses past a blaze to get to emergency exits.

As soon as we're all up and ready to evacuate, hotel staff knocks on our door to report that it's actually NOT a fire, just some douchenozzle decided to spray a fire extinguisher all over the corridor.

We ended up stuffing a wet towel beneath the door since that extinguisher crap burned your throat like hell if you breathed it in, and it took forever for everyone to get back to sleep since our adrenaline was pumping hardcore.

A-Kon always tends to have some rat bastard fouling the hotel stay for everyone else though. North Tower one year had a kid that wrecked a room sprinkler and set off the system on his floor and everyone's below.

>>3425129
Is that a Builders League united sticker on his accordion?

It appears you've had a brush with greatness, my friend.

>>3421886
that's really hot.

Fanime 2010

My friends and I had been needing a place to stay, so I got onto the fanime forum and found us a couple that wanted room mates at the Hilton to off set the cost. With all of my group, and the couple, it was only $50 a person, for all three nights, which was awesome.

Now, we'd never met them before. But instantly we were all best friends. Drinks were had, weed was smoked, by some, and laughs were guaranteed.

There was SOME bad though. Like, we didnt get enough keys...which wasn't bad cause I was one of the key-holders. Anyway, some friends and I decided to take a break from the con and go swimming in the Hilton's tiny ass pool...they left the pool early, taking the key with them. About 20 minutes later I went up stairs, only to remeber they'd taken my key. I was in my bathing suit...locked out of my hotel...for 30 minutes, during which time a person who had friended me on fb on the basis that we both were attending fanime found me an proceeded to invade my bubble. Displeased, very much. After finally getting ahold of a roomie and telling the guy I had to get ready for the con, I got key and opened the door only to discover on of my roomies sleeping on the bed. Pissed doesn't even begin to describe it. After raging at him, drinking some raspberry rum, and a wine cooler, I went down and enjoyed the con.

I got the bed all three nights. I feel kinda bad about that, but i was usually the first one in bed, so I wasn't gonna lay on the floor so they could step on me. No way. Another thing that sucked was the random strangers coming in at all hours, but it was fun. We all plan to room together again.

>>3425476

Haha . . . oh, wow. I wasn't expecting to run into someone I actually know about in this thread. Your obviousness is so bad, it hurts. I just thank God that I didn't experience this bullshit first-hand because it's so ridiculous. Both sides are.

From what I recall, you weren't 'rudely told to find a place to stay'. She made sure it was okay with two friends that you stayed at their house because of the room falling through and she felt bad about it. I happened to be at the event when she told this to you. Yet when it came time to leave with them, you decided stay in the hotel, had a pity-party and publicly whined in front of some of us (myself included) that you were going to sleep outside and would 'probably catch pneumonia' as a result. Then you proceeded to bother everyone else in the other room and did nothing but shit-talk the whole night through and annoyed everybody.
Also, she did not ask for your payment at the end of the weekend because you hadn't even stayed in the room. Nice exaggeration.

I really hope she doesn't find this thread. A year later, you're still whining and she barely even thinks about what happened. The last thing she needs is to be riled up by your immaturity and retardation.

>AX 2006, ground floor room with outside access. >Roommate buys tarp so she can finish her demon wings.
>Is going to finish them with roofing tar
>Doesn't take it outside and doesn't put down tarp
>Roofing tar gets on everything in the room

>>3426066
You're a lying cunt. You guys made me pay for nothing.

Goddamn, makes me feel bad that I'm either local to cons (San Francisco) or have friends who live nearby the cons (San Jose, Los Angeles) that let me stay at their places. I save on cash and never have to room like sardines but I seem to be missing out on a lot of fun. Is that a correct assumption?

>>3426088
I don't think you're missing any fun by staying with your friends. What makes the fun in the hotels are the friends present.
The only thing you're really missing is the drama lol

>>3426066
>>3426086

Otakon 200 ... 7? I forget which hotel, but there were a bunch of us split between two rooms across the hall from each other. I have a shit memory and can't remember exactly what happened, but a few of us from my room were talking to someone from the room across the way, and some others from the room next to theirs were sitting outside their room too. We ordered food for delivery, and my mom came by to bring me some strawberries (she was staying in another hotel with my baby brother; I haven't the faintest idea why she had strawberries), and the girls we didn't know from the room next door had food too, so we started trading tasty things and just hanging out.

Eventually there was a representative or three from pretty much every room on that floor sitting outside, and we had a full fledged hall party going on with food and music. We all went to bed in the early morning, and the party continued the next night. It was completely unexpected and really fun. c:

>>3426086
>>3426066
>>3425476

>>3426086

Nice choice of words there. U mad? By the way, I'm not involved with the direct party. I was simply there and had to listen through all this crap all weekend.
Yeah, they didn't make you pay for anything because you didn't stay in the room, you dumbass. And by 'six people in the room', you mean four, right? Myself included among that number.
I'm not going to fight any further with you about this, especially since I've only met you like twice. I'm just simply amused that you're continuing to reach out for pity, even if it's through means of the Internet.

>>3426088
Depending on whom you stay with, you might actually be saving yourself from a lot of missed sleep and destroyed friendships. Sardine-packing can be like a never-ending party if you pick the right people to stay with, but it can also make for a shit weekend and ruin your con experience altogether.

I was at a smallish local con a few years ago, and a few of my friends and I had just gone back to the hotel at like, 1am. The hotel room itself had been a mistake, as about 10 cosplayers and all their shit plus a pregnant woman were crammed in it with only two twin beds. Originally there were supposed to be TWO rooms, but at the last minute we found out that we were all being smushed in one. I took a shower and squeezed onto the end of one of the beds that already had four people on it. No pillow or blankets, and one guy was snoring. To top it all off, our room was directly above the bar area, where drunk people were singing karaoke incredibly loudly. The snoring was nothing compared to the tone-deaf bitch singing "Eye of the Tiger". Worst hotel experience ever.

At one con, we busted in a room that we knew a friend was having sex with a con slut. He said he was literally 30 seconds away from cumming but when we busted in he lost it as it.

>>3426174
You guys are assholes

Thursday night at Otakon ended up being my most racist hotel experience ever. Originally we were just supposed to have four people in the room (two beds) because the girl who organized it, G, was understandably opposed to sardine-packing. At some point during the day she got a call from S (who was also a dear friend of D, another girl in the room) asking if she could please please PLEASE spend the night and surprise D. G said yes. Later on, however, we got a distress call from N: another friend of D's who had been kicked out of her own hotel room for the night because of boyfriend drama. We all talked it over and agreed to let N sleep on the floor in a nest of pillows and blankets. At about 11:00 S finally arrived and D shed tears of shock and pure happiness. When we realized we didn't have anywhere to put her, she volunteered to take the bathtub for some ungodly reason.

tl;dr Four white girls in the beds, one Asian on the floor, and another Asian sleeping in the bathtub.

>>3426263
I'd say you're the racist one for thinking about it in that context

>>3426266
Naturally, everyone in said room was LOLing their asses off about the implications.

Also, this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbud8rLejLM

I don't ask for pity. Excuse me for posting my bad hotel experience in a thread about bad hotel experiences.

Forgive me.

>>3424599
>The asshole left water all over the floor till the point where there was puddles and all of the towels were drenched.
i. hate. this. yes, i'm mad. the hotel gives you a bathroom rug for this reason. So you have a place to dry off and not get the rest of the bathroom wet. I had a similar experience at Otakon about 3 years ago.

We all got there Thursday night for pre-reg. I was the last to wake up Friday morning, thus the last to use the bathroom. The floor was soaking wet. All the towels were wet. Hair in the tub, along the walls. The bathroom rug was nice and dry, sitting on the sink in the corner. I asked who left the bathroom like that, they all said it was like that when they went it. Bastards. I mopped up the floor and hair with the dirty towels, then laid out the rug. Luckily the cleaning lady down the hall let me get a towel with no fuss.

>>3426570
Wat? Just wat? Like srsly they didn't even have the good sense to pick up after themselves? Rage and butthurt would've been had that day.

>>3426582
I took a shit in their suitcase in revenge.

People. Why do you gotta act like this? It's not hard to be human. Example: I burst out of the bathroom, "Who got foundation all over the counter?" My friend, "Sorry, I didnt realize it had spilled." She walks into the bathroom and wipes up the counter. The end.

I haven't really had many memorable moments IN the room, but this is the only one I can really contribute.

A friend and I were hunters (L4D). We looked through the peephole before leaving, saw some guy. We pounded and scratched at the door. He stopped. We then got in pounce-mode and slowly opened the door and crept out. The guy yelled 'HUNTER!!" and nearly shit himself and ran like hell. Then we went in the elevators. There were just 2 completely normal ladies talking and we hunter crawled into the elevator. They just kept glancing and us and smiling at each other. No words were spoken.

Barely anything compared to most stuff in this thread but whatever.

>>3426589
Pffft anon you are awesome. *Brofist*

Eh, it's not that horrible, but I'll share it.

Last con I went to, there was my girlfriend, myself, her two roommates, their friend (who I'll call Roxanne), and my best friend. Now, almost everyone who was in that room HATES my gf's ex because she's an obnoxious, ultra-mega-man-hating-lesbian cunt (who's actually had a few threads on here dedicated to her). The two exceptions are my best friend, who doesn't know her and is indifferent, and Roxanne, who's a friend of hers. For Roxanne's sake, we held off on any shit-talking and dramu-gossiping and had ourselves a good time.

That is, until day 2, when one of Roxanne's friends (a transman who I'll call Marco) came into the room so the two of them could get ready for and go to a gathering. They ended up missing it because Marco would NOT stop shit-talking my gf's ex. He kept going on about these exagerrated tales of "omg I said hi to her and said her costume looked nice and she stuck up her nose at me wotta bitch". He also kept complaining about how obnoxious the ex had been around him in the past when he admitted that he was every bit as obnoxious as her.

Oh the number of facepalms I had to refrain from making...

I have posted this story before, and I wish I still had the illustration to describe the pure horror. Me and a friend were going back to our hotel room late on the second night of a con. Now we get on the elevator and stand next to this nice lady. RIGHT before the door closes two obviously trashed obviously lesbian girls walk on. One is a twiggy looking tweaker girl, the other is of LAND WHALE proportions (And it takes a LOT for me to call someone fat), they are considerable "super goth and hardcore" they both reek, and then they just start making out like there's no tomorrow, grabbing hair, making horrifying noises, slobbering...the whole terrifying deal.

My friend, the random lady, and I just stared in pure horror...My friend and I were on the top floor....and so were theeeeey.

>>3426624
If they weren't so passive aggressive they wouldn't be on 4chan in the first place.

>>3426086
Just so you know, >>3426114 wasn't me posting. And I'm sorry you hate me for no reason whatsoever, but please don't try to defend someone who acted like a complete and total brat to someone who put their full trust in her, only to be let down in a terrible way. I saw this thread, I posted my hotel story.

And by the way, on that Friday night I didn't shit talk or bitch, I went to the room everyone was in and asked if they knew any place I could stay and explained the situation to them calmly. I also joking said I'd sleep outside because I was bitter and sad and angry. Everyone seems to have taken things out of context. Not to mention the fact on Saturday, I could NOT get in contact with her at all, no texts, no phone calls, I couldn't find it. Obviously it wasn't all that important to her. Not to mention how she let down the entire group that whole con.

You know, you say my posts make it obvious who I am... Likewise. And here I thought you were one of the cooler people I've heard about/met. But... I suppose all that time with a certain someone has turned you into just a bad of a person as she is.

And this is why /cgl/ is truly /drama/

:/

I have an old con story from a couple AB's ago. I used to run with a group of congoers that were friends and friends of friends type and one of them who was a friend of mine worked at a hotel so he got us a deal on two rooms for the con at a local hotel in the chain. It was a cool move until he let slip that he charged everyone a percentage of the room cost based on what the room would have actually costed instead of the 60/night deal employees get. Since the hotel room were rented from thurs to sunday just about everyone had to pay way more than what the room was actually worth. It was quite the drama when it got out what he had pulled with lots of fighting and yelling. It didn't help much that two other friends were left out of the hotel room because some other person brought their brother/sister and neither of them were actually going to the convention but instead just tagging along to roam in boston. Wouldn't have been a big deal cept they lied and said they were going to the convention to get into the room.

One of the people in the guys room (since we had two rooms the guys slept in one and girls in other with a connecting door) was a vicious snorlax that was incredibly loud and a deep sleeper. Half the night was spent hitting him with pillows and the small bible in the dresser to shut up until someone pulled a Mr Socko and rammed a stanky, sweat soaked sock down his throat. That finally woke him up enough to roll over on his side and cease snoring....until he passed gas and the rank smell of pockie and shit waffled through the room thanks to him being located by the A/C unit which was blowing air.

This story isn't so much a horror for me as it is for the people I roomed with.

I run the volunteers at a con and I have been for the past two years. The first year that I did this, I was completely unprepared for it. I got back to my room after everyone had gotten to sleep and left it before everyone else got up. And in between all that time, I had little time to chill out or get a shower.

So, I would creep in and take what little space there is at the edge of the bed and klonk out in moments, never thinking twice about it. What I didn't know was that while I was asleep, I ended up waking the rest of the bed up with my stank.

Now, I take showers every day and have never been considered a stinky person. So, this took folks in my room by surprise.

The only other story I had was when a friend of mine got back to our room early at another con and I woke up sandwiched between 4 people I had never seen before in my life. That was surprising, but we got to know each other and they were really cool.

>>3429072
One of the other guys who was this super weeaboo would couldn't stop talking about animu and manga was meeting up with some cute girl from a forum so they could cosplay together. He threw a fit because he refused to pay for the hotel room and parking though he showed up with a cooler of soda and snacks for himself and then raided the rooms refridgerators for left over takeout people had ordered. On saturday he spent the day stalking this forum girl as she met him and pulled a madcap dash to escape from his greasy clutches. At the time I was looking for someone from the room so I could get a room key and change out of my cosplay when I ran into her. She saw him coming and begged me to not tell him she was hiding. I was wearing a huge cape at the time so I tossed it around her shoulders and pretended to make out with her. Kid came up and asked me if I'd seen her before giving me a key and jetting off when I told him she left to the food court. She and I had a fun time at the bar across the con center and even better time in the hotel room that night. Sunday turned out more fun as apparently he had come into the room late at night and found us bare naked in the bed asleep. He lost his shit and ragequit the hotel and took a greyhound home.

>>3429090
I smell bullshit, but I like your story nontheless!

I have some room mates at almost every con I go to try to find a girl to hook up with. It's pretty annoying.

I figured they were using me most of the time just for sex space in case they found a girl. (which never happened) So I kinda gave them the cold should for a couple con's to see how they act later on. Decent payers though.

>>3429090
>refused to pay for room/parking
> took last minute greyhound bus

I call bs

>>3429109
This is one of those times I wish I did indeed have pics for anon. I would have loved to throw pics like that all over kid's facebook. Too much drama for one person though. Couple cons later was a smaller group of friends and we had to deal with Line con at AB. 11 hrs in line and stuck between a group of fat whiney bitches that kept doing the Hare Hare dance ALL DAY and behind us was the cool guy in Soul Calibur costume with his bondo broadsword that was super heavy and he carried it the entire 11 hrs.

Get back to the hotel finally on friday night to find out that housekeeping didnt clean it up and the bathroom reeked of piss.A/C was broken and all the sheets were disgusting along with food left over on top of the tables. Had to fight with the mgt to get new rooms at 8pm in a hotel already packed tho they did comp us a night free and comped the parking as well.

>>3420756
>sleeping in the middle of a queen bed with two other guys for four days
feels good man

If I went anywhere for a con, it'd be me and my boyfriend. I'm pretty sure hotels will stop people from packing them as full as an indian train in this country. Workplace health and safety/don't want to get sued.

>>3429118
Sorry broski I should clarify. He refused based on the bs other guy pulled with the employee discount and caught a ride with all the others up to boston and didnt want to pay for the underground parking at the hotel. Anyone been there knows that parking at the hotel isn't cheap. As for greyhound ride home that's what snorlax told me. I doubt I was in a position to ask him considerin' I plugged his forum girl.
On a side note, Snorelax mentioned he had a bad taste in his mouth on the ride home which we all thought was hilarious considering the sock action he deepthroated.

I have this friend who has an on again/off again gf. And this chick is a grade A cunt.

This last year she left all her stuff spread out all over our room and didn't even stay at the con hotel.

The year before that, she brings four guys that none of my friends know into our room for a party. I was not there to witness it, but the rest of my group came into the room to find it trashed. I still hold this against the bitch because I had my name on the room that year. Any damage would have been paid for by me. Have yet to hear any regret or apology for either incident.

Amecon 2010
- Blood on towels when I checked in.
- Silverfish/earwigs in rooms
- Wasps everywhere
- Smelled like a carehome/hospice
- Cleaners barge in without knocking at 9am
- No lifts
- Massive walk to anywhere

After the last con I went to there's no way I'm sharing a room with anyone unless it's my closest friends or I work as a volunteer.

I was asked by an acquaintance in school if I was interested in sharing a room with her as well as her older sister (who had a table in Artist Alley) and some other random people. I said yes because I'd be able to go the whole con for cheap, I could buy porn, and it was a free ride. This girl was pretty weeaboo, only watched series like Vampire Knight, Elfen Lied and Trinity Blood but I thought that it was because she was newer to anime and that if I gave her some of my stuff (Baccano, Gankutsuou, ect) maybe she'd look into better series. Turns out she didn't actually watch anything I gave her, and the "random people" rooming turned out to be their mom and a girl from the internet (who was basically the only person in the room I could tolerate, and I'm pretty sure the same went for her to me). During the time in the room they'd do all sorts of rage-tastic things....

Such as:
>Losing one of the hotel keys
>Complaining all the fucking time
>Leaving the lights and tv on at night/sleep time
>Making the internet roommate sleep on the floor
>Dropping wet towels on the bathroom floor and not moving them
>Eating my food while I didn't take/ask for any of theirs
>Leaving their food out for two days (Lo Mein, shit fucking REEKED)
>Putting their clothes/cosplay shit everywhere, I walked into the room once when a cleaning lady was in and she asked me what she could even touch/move

Anytime I was in that room I was either attempting to clean it or trying to get out as quickly as possible. A few of my friends stopped by for a day and were pretty disgusted in the room's state as well. Luckily we're planning on renting out a room together next time.

>>3429750
Woooo, a fellow amecon 2010 dude, so glad I was in Lindsay Court, some of the other blocks sounded terrible.

I went to some little local con this year and since a majority of us were coming from a piss poor neighborhood we agreed to split a room. 6 people in a decent sized room wasn't that bad actually, we had a fun time for the first day.

Second day was kind of annoying because this one chick (lets call her M-) didn't know how to clean up after herself so I went around trying to get her to pick up, but ended up just cleaning it up myself for the sake of my sanity. Still, it was alright.

The last day...now that's where I snapped. I woke up and saw M- just walking out of the shower, but she didn't have a towel on. No. She used one of my cosplays to dry her body.
MY BEAUTIFUL PIT TOGA HAD BECOME HER TOWEL AND IT HAD MAKE-UP STAINS AND OTHER STAINS ALL OVER IT.
I raged. Grabbed her shitty ass Atoli staff and cracked it in half over my knee.

She looked like she wanted to say something to me, but she ended up just getting dressed, packing up, and just left without a word.


Might not have been the most mature thing to do...but god dammit I loved that toga.

>>3430523
i believe it was completely fair. If I had been there, I would have more than likely physically hurt her rather than break a cosplay item.

you are a much stronger person than i.

>>3430523
Yeah, I think bloodshed would have happened. Along with the ripping and breaking of her costume things. I also would have berated the person so maybe when it was over, they would crawl in some hole and never come out.

>>3429750

Where were you staying? That sounds dire

I was in Barnes, B block and it wasn't that bad. Loads of people complained about the whole shared bathrooms thing but tbh I'm used to student halls anyway. The showers were actually awesome, all sensor activated and stuff. My ensuite friends were jealous since some of their showers were shit.

The only thing that really pissed me off was that my room was fucking freezing. I couldn't feel my hands or feet it was so cold, tried getting the heater to work but on full it didn't nothing. Ended up ringing the reception and asking if someone could come take a look at it, and they were like "Yeah... uh, none of the heating is going on until next month."

Fuck. That.

>>3430560
>>3430548
I would've done more...but she was like 2x my size.

I was angry, not suicidal. |D

>>3429750

We were in Lindsay (the nice block) at Amecon this weekend and it wasn't too bad at first but I noticed it getting damper and damper over the weekend. My boyfriend and I know how to wash before you say anything so it wasn't general grossness, just a really cold damp room. It was okish but by the last night I was borrowing blankets to put on the sheets so we didn't die of consumption or something.

I guess the problem may have been too many showers :s

I shared a room at a local con with a friend and a girl who I knew from a forum. Unlike pretty much everybody else in this thread, the girl was nice, considerate, and not a hambeast. She only had one problem.

She smelled.

Like GARLIC. And not in a good, "Italian restaurant"-style way either. Imagine tons of garlic starting to go bad. That's what she smelled like.

It was the damnedest thing. Not only did she have garlicky breath, but her whole body smelled like garlic. Her clothes smelled like garlic. When she showered (which, in her credit, she did every day), the towels she used to dry herself off smelled like garlic. I can only assume she had some kind of glandular condition, but by the end of the con our room was almost physically nausiating to walk into.

It was a shame because she was actually a nice girl, but GODDAMN.

So, there's this girl that I usually share my hotel room with room at cons, and she REEKS. This girl rarely showers and gets on to the rest of us (who smell like fucking roses compared to her) about showering. One of her con rules was "Thou must fucking shower every day". Umm, okay? Does this mean that your exempt? She also gets onto us about having our crap all over the place and taking too long to get ready when she should be taking her own advice. The room smells like the worst BO you've ever smelled and sickness, which is why I'm NOT rooming with her ever again.

>>3430523
When people tell stories like this, I can't help but think they're lying ..

>>3430523
I-I don't know what to say...
I'm saving this for future threads.

Oh, I've got one.
At a con this past summer, I was rooming with one of my friends and her friend. This friend had forgotten pieces for two of her costumes at home, so she couldn't finish them. At first I was really bummed for her, so I tried to comfort her and be nice and cheer her up. She just totally ignored me and acted like I wasn't doing anything, so I started not to care. She cried the whole con and watched TV in the hotel room. It was fucking impossible to get her to stop being so dramatic. I felt bad about the crying, too, until I realized she only did it when she thought someone was listening. Made it really awkward to bring people into the room, or even just be in there with her.
For the rest of the con, she was hissy and rude. Shit sucked.

>>3424582
omg you HAVE to post her picture

Colossal-con 2010, AKA Tornado-con.

Super fucking chill. I'd been working for three months with no time off, this was my first real break from it all. went down with some friends, my buddy whom i hadn't seen all year came (it was his first con ) we sat out on the balcony and just watched people go by, smoked blacks and drank.

feelsgoodbro.jpeg :3

This is why you tell them to bring their own towels. Shared a decent sized room with 10 people. Yeah there was a mess everywhere, but everyone put away their own shit once they were done in the bathroom and there were still dry towels hanging.

This didn't happen to me, but every year our local con coincides with several weddings and they always end up mingling (the wedding hall is open to the area needed to get through to get to the elevators). Apparently, last year, the bride's family was very agitated by the mingling and the bride and her father both accosted random cosplayers. The father chewed out a cosplayer for dressing inappropriately. Most of the weddings we encounter are amused by the weird people in costumes, but either way they should check the convention centre schedule before getting married there.
On that note, there were two fucking huge Indian weddings this year; those dresses are so gorgeous!

>>3420812
I didn't fall over, I was laughing too hard at the other guy to stand up. He was like lightning running to that bathroom.

>>3432007
RIGHT FUCKING HERE MAN, TORNADOCON SURVIVOR!
That was actually my first con, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, the tornado made my fucking night man. Seeing people actually help eachother and acting like human beings was really nice for a change. Kuwabara was entertaining, the Dyke-doctor was kind of annoying if you ask me. Fucking, if you're not too worried about questionably posting hints to your identity on here we might know each other in all honesty.
BUT ANYWAYS, on to my hotel story.

For above mentioned Colossalcon 2010 we stayed at a hotel down the fucking street from the kalahari. It was a shitty place and fuck the person who booked the rooms for not getting us in the kalahari. But we got two rooms with an adjoining door, and next door is this MASSIVE hambeast of a woman. She brought her nasty daughter who we all hated. Long story short she's having a fit and screaming because she wants the guy who booked the hotels to use her triple-a card, and the guy really doesn't care. So she's on one end of the parking lot, in her car, we're in the larger vehicle at the valet entrance. We're trying to calm her down and figure out why she's screaming so I go into the hotel lobby where ONE person is booking two rooms meant for 14 people. The guy explains to me he doesn't give a fuck, and half our party follows me in. Lulz ensue. once we all get back outside I lose my patience entirely and yell across the parking lot "<A> SAYS HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHITTTTTTT" and my entire party laughs their asses off. She was a crazy bitch, true story. The next day she apologizes for being so stressed out and tells us its part of her going through menopause. She stayed at the hotel all weekend and we pretty much quit caring at that point. Also one of my roomates had the shits and woke us up taking a dump, we all just silently acknowledged the noises and giggled.

/end shitty post.

This has nothing to do with hotels, but one time Aaron dismuke followed my friend and I around acting like totally normal and asking what anime we like. He mentioned some of his work and we were like "yeah man that shits good and all but we're not into it" and he's like asking us about aaron dismuke and we're like nah man we haven't seen him. Finally he gets impatient and he tells us "you guys, I'm aaron dismuke," and we're just like "Thats cool, Aaron."

True story.

Used to room with different people at every con but after a few cons spent with gross/ unclean/ annoying/ early sleeper/ sober/ unfun having people i established a group of people that go to all the same cons i do and have similar con habits.
Now i go to every con with the same people, its awesome every time, everyone pays, we all know exactly how our room works, who's shit is who's and the only problem we ever have is when someone can't go to a con and the rest of us have to pay a little more.
This is the secret to never having to deal with room BS

>>3433433
Also a good story!

I'll admit hes not anywhere near as bad as vic but like, the fact that he was following us around like that, thats a little douchey. Vic on the other hand just like, fucking gloats and basks in his fangirl attention.

>>3433401

Man, I feel for you. The guy who booked the rooms for us got the goddamn biggest room he could get. Master bedroom was the middle and 2 other rooms with double queen beds. Top it off, we end up rooming with the guy from True Life: Fanboys. The Power Rangers fanboy. Man, the guy was among the chillest bro's I've ever met.
Shit. Was. Cash.

Combined we bought WAY too much food. Ended up giving away a Sam's Club size box of waffles. And a tub of ice cream.

The "dyke-doctor" was actually great when you talked to her in person. But around the hallways, yeah I'll agree.

My only regret is I didn't cosplay. And I lost early in the BlazBlue tourney. Fuck Akarune.

Anime North 2010

I have a friend who has his own penthouse, after a day of conning we had a cosplay party at his place. I've never seen such a crazy party.
Everyone was going wild.
The next morning when I woke up there was only a quarter of the people there left and all the alcohol was consumed completely and I remember there being a LOT of drinks.

His guest room bed was very comfortable.

Hotel hosting Anime South is also hosting a couple shitty high school basketball teams or whatever, one of my friends says a couple of black basketball guys in one of the elevator were making fun of all the cosplay nerds. I found them camping in one of the elevators and they didn't say a word, not even crack a smile the whole elevator trip. I got off feeling pretty satisfied.

Same con I was walking from the elevator to my room in my Vash costume twirling my gun on my finger when this black security lady comes up to me with SIR. EXCUSE ME, SIR. I stopped and she told me her boyfriend was the biggest Trigun fan and she got my picture.

Colossalcon 9, Worst experience was that the rave got delayed by an hour on Friday and just waited in line for an extra hour. I was with my twin sister, mind you were both girls and were dead tired on 4 hours of sleep. So I get comfy on the ground using my Mokona backpack as a pillow. My twin uses my stomach as a pillow. We relax. Everyones caramelldansing, it was a good time, until a random ass Gary Oak homophobe comes up to me and my twin and says "I don't mean to sound rude but what you two are doing is fucking gross." Da Fuck?!?

lawled but it still cramped my rave mood. Would probably punch that Gary Oak to this day.

Pic related. Colossalcon 9 epicness

>>3436802
bahaha that sounds fucking sweet. But yeah our rooms got dicked over. It was my first con and I'm not planning on getting into cosplay until I have the time and money to not fuck it up. Also I lost to an azn in the Soul calibur tournament. Shitsux. I'll have to take your word for the doctor, but she was kind of overdoing the in character. I loved her at first but it got old quick. The other doctor fucking sucked though roflmao.

>>3437079
The delay did suck complete ass, but when it got cut short due to mother nature nerdraging it was kind of gay. That rave actually ruined the next few for me, cause it was 140db in there and now any other con-rave sounds like fucking elevator music to me. If I can't feel the bass fucking with my hearbeat its not doing much for me.

Also, I think I danced with you and you had to go to the bathroom and I lost you/you ditched me. If thats the case, no hard feelings and sorry for creeping. I have no tact with this kind of shit xD

Pic related, I know this man-misty irl, and that weapon was fucking sweet.

bumpity

That Tenth was so fucking obnoxious and over the top. Tennant never acted anything remotely like that. I was wearing my Tenth cosplay and she saw me and told me I needed to get a wig because my fake sideburns looked "too fake" and she made fun of me because I didn't have the long tan coat.

Her costume was inaccurate and she made me rage so hard, too. According to staff, when the tornado happened, the Kalahari pulled some of Colossalcon's resources to help them out because Colossalcon has a lot of emergency/medical trained personnel on staff, but because of that Tenth Doctor cosplayer, all of the Colossalcon staff was told to back off by the authorities and the Kalahari because she was being disruptive and not aiding the situation.

So basically, even if you think you're high and mighty and the ~*best cosplayer evar~* don't fuck with shit where you don't belong.

Are you fucking serious?

Got a whole group to go to an out of state con in 2009. We had 2 rooms right across from each other. My stepbrother brought his girlfriend who never spoke a word to anyone the entire time. We had it all worked out so no one would have to sleep on the floor. But my stepbrother and his girlfriend fought the entire time, and used an entire room to themselves so they could argue privately.It was awkward as hell. To retaliate, one of our friends stumbled in to the room drunk and only wearing underwear and passed out at the foot of their bed. It was actually pretty funny.

>a random ass Gary Oak homophobe comes up to me and my twin and says "I don't mean to sound rude but what you two are doing is fucking gross."

That's when you jump up and challenge him to a pokemon battle.

Uh, was this around 6 AM ish on Day three?

Posted before I could finish.

But I'm pretty sure I was the girlfriend in question.

Loling like a motherfucker right now.

>>3440291

That cat looks properly ashamed for his/her owner at that particular moment.

>>3440340
loling about how you got a room to yourselves or the drunk guy?

>>3440351
Loling at the fucker for saying I "cheated" on him, when he made it painfully obvious a day or so before the con that he was only dating me to appease his parents and cover up his flaming homosexuality.

I didn't "cheat" on him, I just found a guy with a pair of balls attached to his dick.

>>3440410
So.... You cheated on him?

AB 2010

Hotel room dances. I don't mean everyone in one room, I mean one room had lights and strobelights while another flashed their room lights in the other tower of the Sharaton and everyone just spazzing the fuck out having fun.

Got some phone numbers posted up in the windows for us the next morning.

>>3440410
Sounds like cheating to me.

>>3440426
I didn't cheat, I ended what was pretty much a business relationship. I covered for his homosex. That was pretty much it.

>>3433466
This shit right here. I have the same core crew of people every single con, and though we may have the occasional few additions or drops, they are usually from our immediate circle of friends, and noone else. Shit kills in-room drama DEAD.

THAT SAID, I have recently been experiencing shit hotel karma, and would like to tell you all a story about Anime Expo 2010.

>>3440441
Now, at every AX, I go for the same reasons as the least year; to hangout/circlejerk with my tripfriends and homeboys, to go eat at a bunch of awesome restaurants, and to attend no less than one but no more than four panels. This year, as we did last year, I planned to have us stay at the LA Downtown Marriott (this was booked waaaay before the JW came on as a con partner), inside the Vista Suite. It was spacious, had a nice enough view, and had a very desirable amount of space for partying. The year before we had booked the room adjacent to it as well for more space, but declined on doing so this year to save money. That was the first mistake, but it was unavoidable, as we had lost a few suitemates earlier in the planning stages.

The room was nice, but we had to ask for a different room. The one we had the year before had a couch, while this one had a simple chair. The TVs had also shrunk in size. We were told (in what I later realized was a clever play on words) from the manager that the rooms had not been -upgraded- in the last year since we were there, and thay maybe I had the hotel mixed up with different one. Yeah, that's what it was, everyone in our hotel room hallucinated the TVs, and all those pictures are figments of our imaginations.

>>3440442
The neighbors, as fate would have it, were a couple of older people; about the age to where I wasn't quite sure as to whether or not they were congoers, and they didn't take well to noise. I should've seen the rest of the weekend coming on Day 0. A friend wanted to smoke weed, and last year we'd been quite successful in having everyone smoke on the roof, near the helicopter pad. He wanted to smoke up there, despite people having reported that it was much more secure this year, and I told him to go for it with the single request to not state where he was rooming if caught, as we clearly had more people staying than what it said on the hotel's ledger.

Fast-Forward 45 minutes, and I get a call from security, telling me that they had noise complaints. It didn't help that someone picked up the phone in the living room (I answer all hotel calls from the bedroom) to drunkenly "answer" the call a solid 45 seconds after it had stopped ringing. I, having spent a decent amount of my own money on the liquor we had procured, was stopped from drinking (and this would become a recurring theme) to be informed that we needed to clear out the room. Not wanting to start the con on a bad foot, I cleared out the room, and was pretty sure we were peachy-keen, just in time to get another call. Apparently, the aforementioned people had been caught on the roof, and promptly told the staff they were guests of the hotel, and staying in our room. The hotel asked me to explain, and naturally, I told them they were visiting, and that I could bring their stuff down to them. I got a stern warning from Securtity, and that was the end of the day.

>>3440445

Of course, I had no clue what a shitstorm Night 2 would turn out to be.

During Night 2, I had a lot of things going on. Auditions for Last Comic Standing, finding a friend and her BF who I had convinced to come down to hang out in LA from Vegas, and finishing off the mass production of one of the drinks for the night, which involved me tracking down my bottles of Everclear 190. The easiest parts were supposed to be finding out what time the GoHs were showing up, and simply watching over the party to make sure that didn't get out of hand. I'm pretty sure you can guess which parts were fucked up horribly.

>>3440448
Upon heading over to Hardcore Synergy to speak with my friend, who was GR and was the main contact between me and the guests coming, only to find out that shit had gotten all wrong. Two of the DJs were completely exhausted, and another couple were plain missing. Their contact had no idea as to what was happening, and I just left it to him, to try to get back to the hotel. At this point, right outside of Club Nokia, I got a text message from my friend who was supposed to be keeping a grip on things, that way too many people were showing up. "Awesome, so kick them the fuck out." I thought, but apparently that wasn't happening. I got on the bus to the hotel and got about halfway, just to get another text message informing me that everyone was being kicked out of the room. So, upon arriving, I see an alarming number of my friends and their things in the lobby, and head upstairs to our floor as quickly as possible without looking like I'm flipping shit. WITHIN TWO SECONDS of getting off the elevator, a man in a suit standing by the elevator looks at me and says, "Mr. Johnson, I presume?" as if we're in a fucking action movie, and I give him a curt "Yeah, what's up?". He tells me that he and I need to have a walk to the front desks. The Night Manager tells me that no one is allowed back in my room besides me (apparently the other two people registered to the room were not so), and that any more noises would lead to my eviction from the premises. So I go back upstairs, and I have everyone swiftly remove shit from my room as I think of what to do next, just in time for another phone call.

"Mr. Johnson, I thought we had an agreement."

Who is this asshole, and why do I have the feeling he watched too many cop dramas on TNT in the last few years? He tells me that people were heard coming back up to my room, and he doesn't want to hear that they were there for cleanup. He tells me that I need to get all my shit and go, and comes up once more to escort me out. Long story short, I get everything out, and and now forced to sit in the lobby and find the closest place for everyone's shit to go. I end up having to completely tap myself of personal funds and borrow money still from other suitemates to cover two rooms at the Westin for Nights 2 (which I got to pay for twice, since I got kicked out after 6pm) and 3.

Shortly after this Hell on Earth, the Marriott tried to charge me for the day after they kicked me out, claiming that housekeeping reported people in the room the day after. Seeing as we had been personally escorted out, and our keys promptly deactivated after the fact, I called them on this shit and they relinquished. I think I'm done with hotel parties, at least at Anime Expo and Fanime (a whole different story), and I'm taking this year off from the convention scene anyway to study abroad.."

You shouldve warned him before moving on, though. When you don't do that, it is technically cheating. Proper communication is key to all things people-related.

Marriages in the old times were purely business as well, but women still got beheaded for being whores.

BTW, remember that drinking thing I said I was so fond of? Sober as a fucking judge until 3 in the morning on Night 3/Morning 4.

>>3440454
>>Fanime (a whole different story)
Do tell!

Not such a bad story, but...
Rooming with a guy I've known since 6th grade. He reserved the room in his name and we were all going to pay our share. A friend from San Antonio also pays his share.

The reserving friend also pays for these two girls he'd met the year before (who are like, 16. We're all 20 +). They get one of the beds, despite not having to pay their own share. San Antonio friend shares a bed with the reserving friend. Mutual friend finds a spot on the floor. I find the only spot left where I won't get stepped on; under the room table, on top of a bunch of XBox and TV cables. I proceed to get very little sleep.

Kind of a whiny story, but it kinda pissed me off at the time.

>>3440456
Didn't really give a shit at that point, given I was planning on committing suicide at that con, and a variety of other factors. A proper breakup was the LAST thing on my fucking mind.

>>3440473
Of course. Too weak-willed to do things right. Fuck other peoples feelings, your own are the only feelings that matter. Whore.

At least if you had committed suicide the room would have been freed up

>>3440477

Oh please. All he'd have to do was get over a shitty breakup while medics were scraping my remains off the sidewalk.

How does that even fucking compare?

>>3440473

Suddenly you were suicidal? Something smells like a butthurt lie to me.

BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW ATTENTION BAAWWWWWW

Yomacon 2009. Me and four friends were hanging out that Saturday night. We were coming down from the 11th floor, and just happened to get into an elevator with two girls who where completely hammered. One of my friends was doing a Sweet Snake cosplay, and we'd made her a fake cigarette. One of these girls leans over and asks if she can have some. We tried explaining to her that it was fake, but she took it out of my friend's mouth anyway and all out licked the whole thing before getting pissy because it wasn't real. The other girl occupied her time by giving kisses to my other friend. At least she asked before she did though.

That's really the only elevator-related incident I was involved in personally.

Also, to those twenty people who decided to all jump up and down at once in one of the elevators at once and caused it to break, thank you. Thank you so much.

Fanime 2010 story.

It was the first time my friends and I had attended Fanime and we were all really excited. Every single night, though, without fail, our neighbors across the hall would make the biggest fucking racket I have ever had the displeasure to hear while in a hotel.
I think the entire time they were there, they didn't even go to the convention. They got drunk in their rooms every day and would play loud music with the bass cranked all the way up, so the floors would shake. When it started getting later in the day, we'd notice that they were ushering jailbait girls in slutty costumes into the room and things got even louder after that. The noises would last until about 4 in the morning.

In total, I probably called the front desk around 6 times to complain about the noise. When security finally came upstairs to give them their last warning, the guy in charge of the room kept asking, "Who snitched?! Who is telling you this stuff?!"

>>3440497
It doesnt compare, because you're the one causing all the butthurt on both sides. Besides, all this suicide bullshit just makes you look even more weak-willed. Either that, or you just wanna hurt everyone around you before you go out.

>omg omg omg I wanna kill myself, fuck you business-boyfriend, I'll do what I want, who cares about your feelings, I'm gonna die anyways. fml fml fml emo emo emo

Go back to high school, and talk to the counselor.

>>3441395
no one over the age of 16 should be using the phrase 'who snitched'. If you do something stupid or moronic, deal with the fucking consequences.

>>3440497
You should've done it if you're gunna talk about it.
Seems like you're a shitty person. "I'll change my mind because I decided it was a "business relationship" to "cover up his homosexuality"" and now you sound like you never loved him in the first place.

>>3441379
in what way did it break?

>>3441395
>>3441395
Were you at the fairmont?

>>3441401

They were all older guys, though. I'd say in their early to mid 20's. All the girls in their room looked like they were 14-16.
It wasn't like they were making sexual noises or anything. They were screeching and thumping around, like they were playing tag to go along with the loud music. And when they were asking 'who snitched?', they wanted to see if it was from our floor or the floor beneath us to try and deduce how to still make noise without upsetting the complainers.

>>3441425

Crowne Plaza. Why? Similar story?

>>3441447
Their room got in trouble as well.

>>3441447
Oh, kay. Just saying if you were at the fairmont, it was probably us making the noise~ carry on

>>3441458

Ahh, I see. I doubt you were as loud and obnoxious as these guys, though. It honestly sounded like a drunken daycare center inside the room.

>>3441465
I don't know about that.. :3 lol

>>3441465
Like a day care center on drugs?

did you guys bring underaged girls in your room too?

>>3441527
No, but they were dressed like it.

>>3441531
sex?

FUCKDAMNIT, CAN'T UNSEE!

A few friends and I hit ACEN in 06. I had just turned 21 so everyone tossed in cash for drinks. We all proceed to get shit hammered before the rave. One of the guys drops some E and I get nominated to babysit him. The 2 of us end up hitting a few room parties, finding more liquor to keep me buzzed. 2a.m. rolls around and I run out of cigarettes, someone passes a fat blunt to me and I go nuts on it. Next thing I know it's 9 am and I am passed out in a bush outside the hotel dressed like Vash the Stampede. Good Times.

We had to walk past Castle Oblivions rooms to get out of our accom at Amecon 2010, shit stunk of feet and garlic. What the hell guys? But I guess cheap tacky leatherette is tricky to clean.

Basically spent the length of their corridor blue in the face from holding our breath.

Still don't get why you guys don"t pay for the hotel before you get there >.>

I fucked my boyfriend with a glow stick in a hotel bath. Bath + glowsticks looks awesome in the dark, I highly recommend.

oh fuck, is that you robert?

Uh, I think the True Life guy was the other Doctor. He had this girl in a fancy red dress following him all the time and was in the Power Rangers panel.

I'm not too keen on Doctor Who but the man could dress well. I didn't recognize him the moment he put on his suit and wig and I was rooming with the guy.

Friends and I drove up to Canada for a con up there, since we lived close to the border at the time. Had a good time trying to explain to the border patrol what anime was, but luckly one guy was cool and got it and let us through.

The con overall was okay, but there was hotel drama, thought not in the room. Some douche in the room next door threw an entire newspaper out the window and it landed all over the upper level pool landing, and it looked like our room did it, so that had to be explained to security. Then, 3 cars in the parking garage got broken into, ours included. All three had United States license plates. Our friend got his GPS jacked, another car got the camera taken out it. We had to drive the whole way home while it was still spring/winter (it gets old up north until May) with plastic over the window that kept coming off and fluttering loudly on the interstate.

>Fucking Canadians

I booked my own room for otakon 2010, since it was my first convention and everyone I knew already had their rooms full up. coincidence of coincidences, one of the people I had talked to was booked in the same hotel, so I basically spent time hanging out in their room.

I tried to be polite, didn't use their bathroom or eat their food, just hung out. I think I might want to get in touch with the guy who booked the room for next year, and we can book two rooms together.

of course, other people who got invited in weren't so polite. two friends of this one really annoying guy had come over, and completely trashed the toilet. piss everywhere, and they'd used up all the toilet paper. I ended up going down to my room and grabbing the spare roll to help them out.

The worst was later, though. apparently, the one guy staying in their room let them BACK in later, while everyone was at the con. during which, they fucked up the toilet AGAIN, so badly that it was just fucking broken.

This was on the second day, by the way.

so, moral of the story: if you invite strangers into your room, don't let them use your facilities.

>>3441527
Only if you count Mika.

>>3441471
We didn't have any loud screeching though.

>>3440464
I will forever cover the floorspace underneath the designated liquor table with plastic.
