/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Not weeaboo related, but I'll share.

>SDCC 2012.
>Working for my boss, we have a booth at the con along the back wall, under the giant vent things(Those big circular things that stick out of the wall high up) they remind me of the smock stacks on cruise ships.
>Get everything set up, Have products displayed on the table.
>I notice an awkward wet spot on the table, nobody has a drink anywhere near it.
>Look at a wig head next to the wet spot and notice a big bird turd on a wig.
>Pigeons are in the convention hall and one of them crapped on our display.
>Have to hunt down staff with 10 minutes to go before the show opens, and get them to cover the top of our booth with plastic since the pigeons like to roost in the vents and we weren't going to have more products damaged because of stupid birds.

Fuck pigeons, also the booth next to us tried to get them to cover their booth too but the convention said they'd charge them for it even though they were under the vents too.

I have it worse. Try finding out from one of your con roommates that you grind your teeth in your sleep. I didn't even know I did it until one of them told me. I then went and was talking to my dad and he was all "Oh yeah, you didn't know?" Thanks dad, for never telling me that I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep since I was a kid. Worse part this wasn't until a couple years after I had been rooming at different cons with people, so I probably had been unintentionally annoying people in my sleep at con without even realizing it.

I don't either. Especially the ones who babysit a single machine the entire convention. One of the past ALA's, there was some huge fat guy camped out at the TvC game the entire time. Only time I ever saw him the entire time, was at that game, and the only time he moved was when somebody beat him at the game, then he'd sulk away and go back to it once they were done playing.

and in the case of those friends
>That friend that insisted in room stuffing as many people as possible to get the room rate as cheap as possible, even if the room was ridiculously packed.
>That friend who lied to you about the number of people who were going to be in the room, 8 people are not the same as 14.
>That friend who insisted on bringing her CAT to all the cons she attends and never left it home with her mother or paid for boarding.
>Friend who suffers from a victim complex and never took responsibility or apologized for any of their actions. Even if they're clearly at fault.
>That friend who shit talked you behind your back, even when you were still friends. Like telling people you ran off to fuck your boyfriend when you left them for 10 minutes to go talk with your boyfriend.

This was all the same person. I abandoned ship. Good riddance I say.
