From room-stuffing to staff to roommate drama, what’s been the strangest or worst experience you’ve had while staying somewhere for a con?

>> No.10166929

Otakon 2008, which IIRC was the last year before they did online hotel reservation. Ended up at the Lord Baltimore, only to find out at check-in that what was supposed to be a double-bed room for four was somehow in the system as a single-king room for one- and I had five other dudes rooming with me. We ended up with three or four of us no-homo-ing it up in the bed, one dude in the bathtub, and one or two dudes on the floor. It was sweltering hot in that bed (no homo no homo no homo) but the real nightmare started when somebody clogged the toilet on Friday afternoon. Since the six of us were mostly operating independently during con hours, people kept shitting in the toilet before realizing it was clogged, resulting in a mountain of toilet paper and shit reaching nearly the surface of the water. It got worse Friday night- by the time I got around to dinner everything in the neighborhood was closed, and the 7-11 taquitos I ended up having resulted in a thirty-minute bout of sonic diarrhea in the hotel lobby bathroom. I was afraid to ask the hotel to send someone up to deal with the clog in case they noticed that we had six times the listed number of people in the room, so we just dealt with using the lobby bathroom until Saturday night, when a couple of the dudes bailed early and I finally called the desk and had it taken care of. I felt so bad that I tipped the poor maintenance guy who had to come up and deal with Mount Flushmore $10, and I've refused to overstuff a hotel room since.

Anime Matsuri 2015. I was rooming with my best friend, a coworker I had roomed with the year before, a girl from my lolita comm, and her girlfriend.
We ended up not reserving the room early enough, so the only thing left was the expensive executive suite, which had one King sized bed instead of two queens...we had to cram three people into the bed and two people slept on the full-size blow-up mattress I brought. Also, we had three room keys for five people. Normally it's not a big deal because there's usually someone in the room at some point in time, so if you need to get in, you can knock on the door and be let in, but the entire executive suite floor is locked and you need the room key to even get onto the floor...I had to leave a panel to let my friend into the room when she needed a maxipad and forgot to pack one in her day bag.
The worst part was the roommates. Best friend and coworker were fine, but the other two...
They were teens, and they brought LOADS of stuff that they DIDN'T need. Like...they had trash bags full of manga and their homework and God knows what else, and got us and our friends to help them cart all this crap from the car (which was parked like a block away instead of in the hotel parking garage) to the room.
They then proceeded to trash the room.
There was open packets of uncooked ramen and a portable cooker just lying on the floor, and it was impossible to sit or lie down on the bed in the middle of the day to take a breather, because they would just throw their suitcase and shit on top of it and didn't move it until we were going to bed at night...and they weren't the ones sleeping in the bed.
On check-out day, as one might predict, they took for-fucking-ever trying to clean up the giant mess they made while the three of us who didn't make a wreck of the room were packed up and waiting around on them. We ended up just ditching and leaving them to clean up the mess THEY made.

Okay, I'm sorry, but how the hell did y'all manage to shit in the toilet without even realizing it was clogged and full of someone else's excrement?

I stayed with ~5 other people and they all wanted to stay up and be loud past 1am. We all had to get up at ~7am each day, so when I agreed to stay with them, I assumed they would be going to bed early since we all had to get up early. nope.
I got nearly 0 sleep that whole weekend especially since one guy snored so loudly and they'd leave the tv on which would randomly wake me up, making me get up to turn it off.
Couldn't believe asking for 8 hours of sleep was unreasonable.

Mostly that, but there's a not-zero chance that one guy deliberately made it worse because he thought it'd be funny.

Worst was Otakon 2002, was at the Days Inn.

I typically need a fan to sleep, mix of noise and airflow. Anyway, something was wrong with the AC compressor because it sounded like a bunch of silverware in a dryer, I am talking seriously loud rattle.

On top of that, fell seriously ill and had to have a friend drive me home. Went back for the car on Monday and it three tickets on it (street parked)

I always shell out for my own room for this reason. I'm a ridiculously light sleeper and operate on 4-6 hours of sleep so I go back to my room at 3AM and I'm up, showered, and back at the con by 9AM. I don't want to have to worry about keeping anybody else awake or being woken up by my roommate(s) having an earlier sleep schedule than me.

this years SAK was definitely a rooming struggle. I organized the room and had 6 people in a 1 bedroom king suite with a kitchen. I got the king with plans to have 3 in the bed, 2 on the sofa bed and one on the floor. I get there late on thursday after check in and one roommate and her boyfriend have claimed the king bed. Fine whatever ill sleep with them, i go pass out while everyone is partying. Cue to 2am where I am woken up and kicked out of the king bed to go sleep on the double sofa bed with 3 people because they don't wanna share the bed. Not to mention the room was trashed the entire weekend. My fault but they paid the same as everyone else in the room even though they're the only ones who got an actual bed for the weekend

Anime North girl breaks down for no reason and makes everyone feel bad. Found out its because her best friend got a boyfriend and wasn't spending any time with her.

Youmacon get invited to the con to cover someone spot. Person that invited me made me feel unwelcome and it felt like a waste of time. Her friends had mental problems.

Colossal Con East some guy wouldn't come to the room because he was afraid of me. Wait that one was amazing!

Anime Expo ex girlfriend drama. Kept being a bitch over things that happened years ago. Got upset that she had to sleep on the floor because the hotel didn't give us an extra bed. Blamed it on the group. Should have left her in LA.

Con Bravo guy kept wanting to fuck his lesbian friend. Told him to stop trying. They got into a fight and the girl left. I told the guy he has to cover for his friend as he caused the shit. He paid up.

Yeticon. Got invited to a room. Only care for 3 people. Person who was planning it was some stoner girl that keeps changing the room. followed by room stuffing the room. Started with 6 went to 11 2 weeks before the con.

Colossal Con Prime. Person that set up the room goes and tells everyone they spend the money for the hotel room. They panics in the group chat then cancels the room. Leaving everyone without a room. So we re-book outside of con rate and told the person to fuck right off!

Otakuthon girl got drunk and throw up on my friends bed. So I was fine.

Went to an annual con with friends I met online and have roomed with for three or four years, so we've got a good understanding of what goes on. There's three of us and my brother that everyone agrees can crash (he lives in the city but never feels like going home).

A couple weeks before, get a message from my BFF asking if another mutual (but online-only) friend can crash in the room for the weekend.

Usually I'm better at managing the room but that year I was stressed out and didn't care so I said whatever. Turns out it was literal crash and not pay for the room. Whatever, we all talked and agreed they don't get a bed, they have to sleep on the floor. No one else said no so while I wasn't thrilled, I didn't say no. Plus, my brother doesn't pay, he just sleeps on the floor and they let him so...ok.

Con comes and they're there. We all get ready for bed and they ask to sleep in the king-sized bed I'm sharing with my BFF. I'm in the middle of an anxiety-attack basically so I don't say anything and my BFF let's them, not sure how to say no.

They sleep on the edge of the bed but keep edging over to me, so I keep edging over to my BFF and don't sleep a wink. They next night, they conveniently fall asleep in our bed while talking. Again, I don't sleep because this person I haven't met IRL before is being oddly attached to me... They even asked if their friends could crash.

Eventually I tell my BFF in a break down on Sunday and she tells them to fuck off. But that was the last weekend I ever spent with those people.

Two of them were my BFFs for over 7 years and it sucks that that was the last weekend we've spent together.

The next year...may have been worse? 4 people to a room because I don't stuff. All people I met online, only 1 I met IRL but have spoken to everyone for years.

2 guys, 2 girls. Guys share a bed, girls share a bed. First night, we're talking, drinking and getting ready for the next day of cosplay.

We want popcorn so three of us go downstairs to use the microwave in the lobby. We come back and the guy left in the room obvious has drank more than he should've. He's passed out on the bed. We just keep talking and getting ready for bed when he starts puking.

I help him and then carry him from the bed to the bathroom. There's puke all over me. I wash up as best I can and change, borrowing clothes but have never had to deal with this before. Front desk says they can't clean the room until the morning.

Everyone goes to bed. Puke literally in my nostrils. 3 AM I finally break, take a shower with a guy sleeping on the floor of the bathroom and sleep on my brother's couch.

I haven't been back to that con.

AX, several years ago. Roomed with strangers. Everyone was polite and respectful but once the lights went out a couple sharing the adjacent bed soon began to emit a horrific cacophony of gasps and guttural snores as if performing a duet of sputtering chainsaw engines. I've had roommates who snore, no big deal, but this was truly on another level. The earplugs I had brought for this exact scenario were useless against the hateful intensity of those two's nocturnal paroxysm. It was never again quite as bad as that first night, maybe because of exhaustion, but if you're an obnoxious sleeper do the rest of us a favor and get your own room.

Katsucon a few years ago. We thought it would be fun to room with my husband’s friend that he hadn’t seen in awhile. We had a nice view of the gazebo by chance and were really excited but friend (we’ll call him D) wanted us to keep the curtain closed because he’s terrified of heights at 6 feet tall himself.

My husband brought food to make light meals as a snack or quick breakfast. D brought a taco dinner kit with no ground beef or way to cook it, 3 loaves of bread he never ate and cups of easy Mac to a room with 0 microwave.

D also brought his plushie collection and anime body pillow. D demanded we stay in all weekend and play games and watch anime. Once we walked in on him watch dub anime on tv AND sub anime on his laptop. He would throw a fit when we tried to change the channel. I have more but it’s basically a book.

Snorers should just be executed to weed them out of the gene pool. Take comfort in the fact that snorers have a 50% chance of having obstructive sleep apnea, which is a serious medical condition that damages heart tissue over time. And they won't get treatment for it because they don't care/don't think snoring is an issue.

ACEN 2017. Shit was so bad I had to go the fucking hospital. Don't feel like posting the whole story now but basically got no sleep and felt super sick all night. Room was a million degrees and one person came back to the room at 4am puking their guts out in the bathroom for an hour.

First year of ColossalCon east I roomed with a bunch of rando Americans and one mutual friend (Canadian, a mutual of one of the Americans in the room).
7 people in a 2 bed, 1 pullout room, so I had to share a bed with 2 people. They’re a couple, so I thought it’d be okay. They were pretty cool, we drank and hung out a bit. First night, I’m having a rough time trying to sleep. I’m turned away from the couple. I feel something brush against my butt. Thought it was an accident at first since this tiny ass pullout was cramped with 3 people on it, but then I felt it again. Guy’s had was definitely touching my ass on purpose. Weird, but I’m honestly too tired and I didn’t want to start a fight in the middle of the night when everyone was trying to sleep. I shift around a bit and he stopped. Second night I switched beds.

That couple got married this past weekend. Never told the girl about it, never confronted him.

Okay here we go:
So my husband and I left to enjoy the con. We invited D to join us so he didn’t feel left out but he refused saying he only wanted to play games inside. Since we all paid for the room, we brought some friends up one night. One of the girls had a dog that had passed away from an illness and we were comforting her and D made it about him with ‘well my dog passed away too. She was old’.

The next day we went to the fancy $45 per person breakfast buffet at the Gaylord. When we get back to the room D is just waking up and wondering where we went. We explained it to him and he’s mad we didn’t invite him. My husband said we didn’t invite him because it’s Valentine’s day and D says ‘I don’t care what day it is! It’s a free breakfast’. My husband doesn’t get mad often but he yelled ‘IT’S NOT FREE!’

>>10167393
Later we invited D out to browse the dealer room and he declined. I was picking out a gift but nothing in the Dealer Room caught my eye, but I found a friend I hadn’t seen in a few years so we started chatting. D calls my husband and asked him to come to the room alone for an emergency. My husband leaves me with my friend and rushes upstairs. When he comes back I can tell he’s heated so we go off to a corner. D called him up there so he could ask him for $100 to buy an anime dvd box set...

Fast forward to that night. We invited D to dinner with our friends, but again he declined to hang out with us like he did all weekend. We asked if he wanted anything and D requested a chocolate cake. We ate dinner, got the cake, and hung out with friends. My husband was trying not to eat the cake and tell D that they were out but he was still trying to be a good friend.

We gave D the cake (this was in the night he had two anime’s playing) and he takes one bite and puts it away.

The next morning is Sunday and we had planned to sleep in. At 6:30 D stands over my husband and wakes him up to ask him if he wanted to go to a

D also ate majority of our food since he couldn’t cook any of his. He offered us to take a loaf of bread home so he didn’t have to carry it but when he left to go to his car he took all his food with him. D never gave us promised alone time so the second he left we did it in his bed.

My husband was nervous about confronting D because of his mental issues. He later told me D was in line for parking and randomly got out of line then back in it which is why they were late Thursday. They also arrived late Friday because D had to buy food we couldn’t use (they rode together). We haven’t seen or talked to D since and we’ve also made a pact to never room with anyone.

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2017. Needed a room and my normal con group wasn't going, So I decided to hit up the facebook page and find a room - Eventually find someone with space in the host-hotel for $120~ for the whole weekend.

Get added to the hotel chat group, meet all the other people and all is well for a while. Person hosting the room seems a little off, but otherwise an okay person. The con is getting closer and out of nowhere, her mom group calls us from her phone and claims we all need to pay $150 and not $120. The host had 2 rooms and 6 people in each room, And even at $120 she was still going to make some profit... but her mom insisted we pay $150~ which was going to leave her with an extra 500-600...It was so close to the con, we said fuck it and paid it anyways.... literally like less than 2 weeks before the con, We find out that the host had SPENT the money we gave her for the room.. Saying shit like her mom made her or else she was gonna be homeless, blah blah blah, then eventually said her mom took her card and spent it, gave us screenshots of eating at Olive Garden, Other places almost every day. Thankfully, one of the other people in the room managed to get the reservation E-mail from her and swapped it over to his name so we would still have a room - Most of us never got our money back.. and the bitch went all over facebook blaming US for it, saying WE WERE AT FAULT and playing the victim card.... Very few people believed her, Others stuck up for her for a while until they realized she was batshit insane. She lies (Still to this day) saying she gave us our money back, apologized and claims we all forgave her. Which never happened, Some of us never got our money back, And the guy who took the reservation over was nice enough to not make us pay him, even though he took almost $700 hit.

The other shitty thing is, She still had the other room and was spam posting on the fb page begging and pleading for people to room with her.

I got really bad bronchitis over a month before a con, and I wasn't contagious anymore but was still coughing a bit by the time the con rolled around. I thought it would be ok since it eased up, but the dry as hell hotel room made me cough nonstop at night. I felt really bad and ended up sleeping in the bathtub to avoid waking people up.

I'm really glad my group of friends grew out of crunching at the con, they used to spray paint their armor in the bathrooms (no mess was made, but we had to quarantine it for the entire day because of the fumes), and they sometimes brought sewing machines to sew all night. Nothing ever looks good when it's that crunched.

decent friend picks horrific girlfriend pt 1 of 2

>>10166923
this was nekocon 2014 i think maybe 2013
friend recently had gotten a girlfriend that no one else in my friend group liked at all.
a couple of months before hand i told my friend i was FTM and his gf was one of those creepy girls who doesnt want their boyfriend to have female friends.

im very comfortable with physical contact and so is my friend so we hold hands platonically and things like that but nothing further than that other than a hug.

decide to get some friends together and go to the con together but not with the one mentioned above and they were fine didnt really talk much but had a nice time on the way drive there.
actually get to the meeting of my friends gf and she seems annoyed at me. my friend misgendered me and she was under the impression i was female and that my sibling was also female though they are nonbinary gender. (please dont make this transphobic yall) and also gave her the name that i went by previously so she thought my i was giving her a fake name when i met her so i have to be around this bitch while being misgendered continuously.

force myself to spend time around him and his new gf for a few hours and then decide to go to a different panel and then eventually my friends and i decide to go stop at the hotel to pick something up.

my friend and the new gf get into an argument. afterwards though i dont remember the reason why the gf fuckin starts chasing my friends and i down the fuckin street so my sibling thinks this shithead is going to assault them and they fall and rip part a small part of their costume and are clearly annoyed.

get back to the hotel one of my friends who was in a different room decides to avoid their couples argument and stays with us for the evening and just sits down in the corner and drinks and for good reason.

people get worried about friend who is drinking so take the alcohol away.

>>10168191
everyone sleeps and so on.

apparently later on the next day i over hear 2 of my friends talking and the friend who got drunk pissed on something so he reimbursed my friend for ruining the item.

the day at con itself goes fine but as everyone is getting ready to leave my friend tells me that im because of his creepy gf we cant be friends anymore and i get so upset that i say im fine but really im not. so one of my friends asks me whats wrong and i immediately start crying and hug him and then and point at the offending gf and she looks at me like shes offended but honestly i really didnt give a fuck about her at that point.

we end up staying at the con for about another 30 minutes and i talk with some people i met before and i bond with someone over my hatred of my former pal and his gf which makes me feel a little better.

unrelated to the con but thankfully friend learned that gf was a piece of shit and broke up with her and we are friends once again. he even told me that he knew something was really wrong that day and regrets not ending the relationship sooner when he saw me crying.

Few years back at Katsucon I had changed the group of friends I usually room with. They only booked a room for two nights so I stayed in my carpool's room Thursday. They were wonderful and we had a chill time watching movies before sleeping. We all had a really good chemistry and it made it all the sadder when I had to leave. My other roommates weren't bad but we really didn't mesh well as people which was all the worse since these were my friends. It would of just been a less than great rooming experience if it weren't for this one girl's snoring. I can deal with regular, loud snoring but it was more than that. She would start to whimper in between bouts of snoring. It would sky rocket my anxiety because it sounded like someone was getting hurt. I tried wearing headphones but she was too loud even for that. I don't think I got more than a 30 minute interval of sleep the rest of the weekend. Apparently this is a known thing to others but no one informed me.

That's a huge fucking red flag. Camera in the bathroom? I don't give a shit if it's busted to fuck. That's a huge red flag. I would've been like "No, You put that shit on the window seal in the heat of the sun" or some shit.

One year at Momocon, A roomie left their camera sitting on the TV stand and this "I'm offended by everything" type person went apeshit on them saying they were trying to record us all... Despite the lens not being attached, the batteries sitting outside next to it charging. This bitch was saying "Oh it's just a decoy and the camera has a smaller camera in it recording everyone" And I am like.. It's pointing towards the middle of the room, No one has changed in the middle of the room - We've all changed in the bathroom.

She also kept unplugging peoples phones that were charging to charge her Busted ass DS, A shitty portable speaker and god knows what else. Had a fucking USB cable ran into her nasty-ass bag, but would never take it out whatever it was charging. Needless to say, We ghosted them after the con.

Last AWA I let one of my cons friend bring one of their friends in the room, and instantly I knew should've been trouble with the amount of alcohol they brought in and were already drinking at 730 am. I was right, They got kicked out for apparently threatening to kill someone in a game of werewolf. Hotel security, Con Security, City and county police called. We all almost get kicked out of the con... Thankfully the hotel guy was like "I'm not going to punish all of them for the actions of one person"

Needless to say, I'm trying to stick with one group of people every con I go to and that's it.

there were only a few pieces left so we weren't particularly upset but we called housekeeping anyway (out of curiosity rather than wanting to get someone in trouble). apparently the maids had "thought it was trash" even though there were still several slices left.

Anime Boston 2016 I ran my high school anime club and took a bunch of the kids. We were able to fit in the room fine and most of the kids were pretty cooperative, the hotel was the big problem. We got to the hotel around midday to check in and they were so backed up that we sat in the lobby for 5 hours while we waited for our rooms. I let the kids go in shifts to get their badges while others waited. Once we got into the rooms we found actual shit on the sheets of the bed. After getting that sorted out I started to feel sick. I puked and shitted my brains out that whole night from food poisoning (never eat the hot bar food at Star market kids). The next day started off fine, cosplaying and spending time with my friends. But throughout all of this we had this kid we refered to as "Bread". Bread was a little edge lord who didn't like to be told no when he tried to sleep nude or take bed space from those with back issues. At one point I tried to kick the kid out of the rooms for an hour but my friend thought he might off himself so we decided against that decision. Sunday morning we packed up and readied to leave. I swore I would never plan an Anime Boston trip again. I've hosted the same trip every year since.

>Get our room key, we're right by the meet up area cool
>Unlock door and friend who got the room yells something or other (we were early 20s at time)
>Room was already ocupied and hotel gave us a key to their room
>Friend gets an eyeful of fat naked dude
>He starts screaming at us, we close the door, friend is in tears. I talk through the door to him that it was the hotel's fault and not ours. He calms down and apologizes
>Go to front desk and complain/get new key. About 2 hours after we get our new room they send over a basket with about 5 energy drinks and 2 mini bags of chips as an apology.

I miss that hotel, the final con there we grilled hotdogs outside our room near the pool and gave them to hungry people coming back from the rave as they went by.

We've also had: drunk girl stumble into our room thinking it was her friends. Police called on the room next to us at 3am from people fighting (I slept through it somehow), exfriend spill energy drink on my gaming laptop and claim they didn't do it and also didn't bother to clean it up.

Read your question last night, thought about it all day....

This was during the immediate Comics Glut of 1986, which put a lot of "funny animal" titles in comic-book shops and made Gallacci and Groat demi-gods. This was also prior to fursuits so maybe someone might wear a tail or animal ears, but it was still rare.

Guys, lots of guys, talking NEETS, basement-dwellers, old Disney/Animation fans, and a few kinda bohemian artist types.

A lot was done through phone calls and letters, some word-of-mouth, lots of small press and fanzines when the comics market imploded.

Local gatherings piggybacked onto other conventions, "Furry Parties" were mostly 1-2 people drawing stuff, and the rest of us watching either Bagi native, or the CalArts pencil test tape (among other things)

Oh yeah, the smell was pretty bad too

Probably the weirdest thing that’s happened was about twelve years ago, I had a room for AX. Two of my roommates dropped out so I had to find a couple of other people to take their spots. I advertised on the con forum for roommates.

Rando 1 seemed normal chatting through messages and he had a friend, Rando 2, who he said was a good guy but who could be annoying at times. They’re both 19 and in their college anime club.

I am a gay guy and the rest of my (3) roommates were lesbian/bi women who I already knew pretty well online, and we were all in our early to mid twenties. None of us are local and all of us but the two guys flew (they drove from a state over).

The rando boys show up and they’re very socially awkward. Rando 1 is much less normal and more creepy in person. Rando 2 isn’t as creepy but is very sheltered and brings a fuckton of food with him. They don’t hang out at all with each other the whole weekend.

They’re both rude to everyone else in the room, rude to each other, the hotel staff. Rando 1 is constantly asking my roommates creepy questions and said something to me about how he’d never dreamed he’d be living out his own harem anime fantasy with so many hot women.

Finally he goes too far with a sexual comment about joining someone in the shower for efficiency and one of my friends finally runs out of patience and yells at him. I’m about to kick him out of the room and he starts crying.

There’s one night left so we decide as a group to let him stay if he can behave himself. His attitude improves as far as I could tell.

After everyone leaves on the final day and I’m about to check out, I’m doing a final sweep of the room to make sure nobody left anything behind. I find hidden around the room several pairs of soiled tighty whities. They definitely belonged to rando 1 because he was half the size of rando 2.

I never talked to either of those guys again afterwards.

eh I'm 30 now and want to start a family. Plus Sac Anime is going to Cal Expo for a year and CE sucks already. We did have a lot of fun for about 12 years there. But for the price of the con I can do a road trip and go to the ocean for a few days. Will miss cosplay though

CosXpo 2019. Bought room and con tickets for me and GF. She promises we will spend quality time together and it'll be romantic and shit. Day of Con we have to babysit GF's autistic sister who suddenly demanded to be at the con. She won't leave until we've bodypainted and fitted her Widowmaker costume. Problem being me and GF were in the masquerade and couldn't get to the room. Assburgers mum sends us 30 threatening messages over an hour period. Finally get out and go back to room. Autism sister is screaming because we didn't come soon enough. GF blames me even though I carried her bags and was a good little cuck for her. Eventually autism sister says that I'm a terrible person and she should have my ticket as recompense. I thought GF would stand by me but she agrees with her sister. I get booted out the room and have to get the train home.

On my first and last con EVER I went with an old, well lets say acquaintance of mine, who went to school with me.
She was a hardcore weeb and I was curious about the community because I always liked mangas and animes but never got into it that deep, so I kind of asked her what to do and so we organized that trip with her, her (male) friend and me.
Her friend was grade A silent serial killer material and had a huge crush on her. One of us had the honorable duty to sleep on the floor and since I did that all the time, everywhere, I was ok with taking the carpet spot.

She not so much, serial killer was obviously aiming for some cuddly nights with our Harley Quinn (one bed) so he took every little bit of courage and CLAIMED that ratty hotel mattress as mating ground for him and his female, he was stuttering, shaking and at one moment he looked like he would faint any second but, kudos to him, he did it like a true alpha wolf. Took some persuasive words tho because Harley wasn't all that thrilled about the situation and wanted to stay with me on the floor since, what I realized later that night, she misinterpreted my humble plea to introduce me to the world of weebing with a much more nefarious motive. I can, in all honesty, declare that my thoughts were pure as the virgin mist over an Alabama cornfield on a fresh spring morning by the way.

Well anyway serial killer was pretty pissed after that little drama and refused to talk to me with his mouth but instead just stared me down with that anxiety evoking mix of anguish, hatred and panic induced diarrhea in his eyes.
I was pretty uneasy already and thought about just leaving the place but then again just wanted to pull trough because I was really, really not interested in Harley at all and I thought that he just needed some time to comprehend the situation in his spergy brain and once this was done all would be fine.

Oh boy, I was never so wrong.

Later that night, we had gone to bed early because we arrived by train and it was hell, everyone was peacefully sleeping, or it seemed like that from my perspective. I woke up because someone was meddling around with my arm, I sleep like a rock normally so waking me up can take some time, I smelled that thick, heavy and slightly sweaty musk fragrance mixed with make up that I already noticed on Harley during our train ride and regained consciousness faster than every before. Beside me, a chubby Harley Quinn (not the suicide squad one) in full body suit, looking like someone mixed up ancient fertility symbols with a nylon fetish, grinning from ear to ear with the most predatory smile I have seen till today and her goddamn hand attached to mine in cold steel with a pair of shiny handcuffs. I wasn't scared or repulsed by her since as I stated I know her a long time and I was prepared for inappropriate behaviour knowing that at the end of the day she is just a bit odd but a nice and sensible girl. But I was scared, as fuck scared, of what was coming from the other side of the room after she uttered a whisper, husky of excitement: "I have a present for you" (I will NEVER forget these words).
Hell broke lose a second after.
Serial Killer was wide awake, only dressed in his shorts standing in the corner after a milisecond, his wiry, pale and surprisingly muscular body trembling in pure fury. He screamed in such a high pitched demonic manner that my ears started to ring, I couldn't understand a single sentence clearly but this guy was school shooter angry and I thought that I was going to be mauled to pieces by him while being chained to meatloaf Harley and this was all but a soothing picture in my head.

Well she opened the cuffs as fast as she could and tried to calm S.K down but it was too late for anything but heavy narcotics. He crossed the room, bansheed something about that I fucked up everything and before I could even open my mouth, hit my face.

3/2, well fugg.

The only thing I heard trough the even louder ringing in my ears was a stomach turning "snap" because S.K seemed to gotten his finger in a very, very bad position before landing the punch and a second after the pain hit him, he started to go even more pale, not that pale skin pale but that greyish seriously unhealthy kind of dirty blue-white, especially his red face lost any sort of color in a remarkable speed.
What followed was S.K rushing into the tiny bathroom, throwing up violently in between screeching and sobbing indistinguishable words muzzled by flowing mucus and gagging.

I just stood there in the room, petrified with one hand on my cheek, staring into nothing for what had to be at least a minute before I reconquered my mind from the fangs of this absolute what-the-fucking-shit-moment and started to throw my stuff into my backpack. Harley was desperately trying to comfort the phlegm covered S.K and told me not to leave and said something about having a nice day at the con after we "removed a few obstacles", I didn't listen, I just wanted to LEAVE as fast as a feeble mortal is able to leave a place.
Took a cab to the next train station and slept under some benches before boarding the earliest possibility back home.
I have never even been near a con after that night.

Found out next AWA he completely ditched on some bills with other people for hotel rooms with other cons, and that's why he wasn't allowed do rooms with us again.

Maybe you just pick the same type of shitty person to date every time because you don't have enough self esteem to find someone who's actually good for you or you don't think you're worth it.

I'm gonna be staying at a hotel for a con for the first time next weekend; in the past I've only gone to ones within driving distance from wherever I'm living. I'm rooming with some acquaintances I don't know that well and I'm kind of nervous. I literally haven't lived with people since I moved out of my parents', and I mostly solo travel, I'm all around just a more introverted person who likes to be on my own, and I'm not really a party-er either, which is one reason I was hesitant to room.

Does anyone have any advice for rooming with people you don't know?

Ask the room host if there are room rules. I make them every time regardless if I've roomed with people before.
It's nice to have a set of boundaries that you can refer to if you want to know quiet hours or friends being brought over.

Also, ask the host to make a group chat on whatever medium so that you can get more acquainted! Mine has progress photos, panels we want to see and general what we're looking forward too. Most everyone knows everyone in the room, but it just helps build group camaraderie which helps if there is a situation.
These may not work for other people (I can see how a group chat could get annoying) but it's worked for me so far over the past 7 years of going to cons

>> No.10171098

Simple tips would be: bring your own food and drink, clean up after yourself, try to not live in the bathroom in the morning, always ask if someone needs to use it before showering in the morning. Possibly bring your own pillow/ blanket depending on sleeping situation. Remember your own phone charger and keep your stuff in 1 set area.
as >>10171075 said, double check rules with host.
Also just because some people don't do it-put the damn toilet lid down. I end up getting mad at my friends at least once every con because someone leaves it up and thats just gross

I've had to do that to one of my friends at multiple cons when I'm showing them shit I find.

One time after the first day of Pax East, my friends and I went to our Air BnB. We decided to get drunk on vodka and stoned on cannabis oil. One of our friends drank four actual cups of vodka and God knows how many drops of cannabis oil. He could barely stand, kept falling over and was in denial of being trashed. Our best idea to sober him up was to take him to McDonald's and feed him as many Big Macs as he could stomach. The only problem was escorting him was like pushing a fridge standing on a skateboard. Eventually, we got to McDonald's and eventually he sobered up. Another one of the guys with us recorded it on video, but the big drunk got a hold of his phone and deleted it. Apparently, I wasn't much better. According to one of my friends, I cackle like the Joker being tickled when I get stoned. The whole thing was a mess.

I shared a big room with 3 people for my first con, they were all more into conning then I was at the time and were used to rooming with each other. It was two girls, a guy and myself (a dude). The guy was a very close friend at the time and one of the girls was his girlfriend, the other girl was his GFs friend. Things are going fine until at some point in the trip it's obvious my friend and his GF are having a silent passive aggressive fight with each other, I just do my best to ignore it or lighten the mood with quips.

Before getting into the wierd part I should mention I am kind of attractive from being a /fit/fa/cel while my friend, his gf and her friend are not the most attractive people, they're short, chunky and look like your typical weebs.

Anyways back in our room we start drinking and chatting while watching anime when I start to notice that my friends gf is giggling way too much at every thing I say and getting progressively more handsy with me. It starts with her gradually scorching towards my side of the floor we are sitting arm, than brushing my arm with her hand anytime she addresses me, and progresses into trying to lean into me/rest her head on my arm. All while my friend is right there in the same room no more than 5 feet away. I just try to casually scooch away anytime she tries but shes persisting and not trying to hide it at all. I'm just trying to avoid this broad and giving my friend very perplexed stares. I'm certain hes aware of what's going on because hes gradually getting quieter and more withdrawn and hes beginning to just get this blank 1000 yard stare on his face. I'm overwhelmed about how awkward the situation is getting and just continue to try to pretend nothing wierd is going on and shifting more of my attention onto the girlfriends friend but to no avail because the girl is near black out drunk and is dozing off. Soon shes asleep and its just me, my friend and his gf.

The conversation by this time had run dry and so had our alcohol. The girls advances are getting much more blatant, I'm literally walking around the room to stay away from her and shes just following me, trying to grab my sleeve, whispering about kissing me and my friend is STILL just ignoring it. He actually excuses himself and says hes going to play video games on his laptop. WTF. Being the overly polite simp I am I suppress every urge to address this shit and try to excuse myself to the bed I was to share with past-out-girl. my friends gf actually joins me in my bed and tries to nuzzle up against me. With my friend on the adjacent bed right fucking there. Hes just sitting there playing Total Warhammer. I immediatly get off the bed and say shes more than welcome to share the bed with her passed out friend I'll just hang with my friend on his bed and watch him play games. I sit down with him and just try to talk warhammer with him but hes giving me short one word answers, just completely absorbed in his game. She follows me and lays on the bed next to me, tries to give me what she must've thought was a sultry stare and starts groping my fucking crotch through my joggers while I am sitting there next to her boyfriend. I can no longer contain myself, I jump up immediatly and demand to know what the fuck is going on and why the fuck he isn't putting his girl on lock. She just tells me not to worry and that my friend is okay with it. My friend is STILL PLAYING HIS GAME. She walks towards me with this creepy smile. I back up away from her as she advances and shes eventually got me backed against a wall. She gets on her knees in front of me and I kind of just let out this shocked yell and push-kick her away. I run around the hotel collecting anything I can escape with as she follows me drunkenly demanding to know why I'm "being so difficult". Im stammering excuses as best as I can and bolt out the door and shut it behind me, fleeing down the hallway.

I couls hear her calling for me as I get to an elevator, she was walking towards me while I was trying to call the elevator. When it finally arrived I just pushed the shut door button before she could get in and went down to the lobby, and just hid. I eventually ended up sleeping outside the light rail station to get myself home. And that is basically the last time I saw those people, I never contacted them, I never picked up the clothing I left in the hotel room with them. My former friend never tried to contact me but his gf did a few times to try to apologize. I haven't responded to a single message. After that I sort of dropped off the hobby for a few years before my current gf got me back into it.

It's not a "worst experience" so much as it is a recurring issue, but here we go.

Every time me and my best friend go to a con, he has some girls (usually 1-2 out of a group of like 10) he knows come along.

Every time these girls are incredibly messy, scuzzy, and invariably have a drunk breakdown in the middle of the night cry and shit.

They never pay for the room on time (if at all) and always try to get freebies.

Every one of them lives in an absolute stye of a home/apartment/whatever, is unhealthy mentally and physically, and generally sucks the positive vibes out of a room within minutes.

Katsu 2016 my abusive (now ex) girlfriend decided to smoke some weed with our roommates despite knowing it made me super uncomfortable. I was especially upset because I was worried that they would get smoke on my lolita clothes. Ended up crashing in another friend’s room that was thankfully weed free.

To think anyone is truly capable of love is hilarious. You who would dare to claim you have experienced it is the largest hypocrite of us all.
No, nobody is capable of love of an individual person, because that person does not know who they are, and everyone around them only knows the person they present themselves as and assumes it's who they are.

You who would say that little girls do not make this distinction is wrong, the purity of youth does not remove the ego. We are all sullied, and chasing an unattainable fantasy between each other.
The least you could do is off yourself before you rob a mere child of experiencing the lie and seeking their own truth. A selfish and deplorable act that robs them of a future seeking hope in the lies.

There’s this friend of a friend I refuse to room with ever again. They’ll book rooms and then trash them. Hundreds of dollars worth of booze, overstuffed the rooms with people and then invited more over every night to party, would cut and style wigs in the bathroom so there’s wig fibers everywhere, stain the hotel tables and sheets with hair dye and paint and glue, check out hours past the check out time. I’ve never known them to ever get their security deposit back, and every con they’re at I hear about their room turning into a fuckfest.

The one time I stayed with them we planned for a photoshoot at 6. 5:45 I’m sitting in the bed scrolling on my phone waiting for them to finish putting in goddamn foundation. THREE HOURS LATER we’re hunting down the photographer who apparently knew this would happen and joked with them that they were early. Three hours to do foundation, eyebrows, and out on a wig, between talking to every person that came into the room, taking shots, bitching about the people coming into the room, and joking that all they’re photographers are their “bitches” and that they’ll totally wait for them to be ready.

that's because losing weight will probably lessen the snoring, if not get rid of it completely. Surgeries can be life-threatening, so losing weight is a good change that you can do that isn't a risk to your health.

Before I got my apnea machine the doc told me they would never recommend surgery. It usually only works for a very short time before the snoring returns, basically it’s an unnecessary surgery.

Imagine taking every stereotype about furries: the obsession with over-sexualized versions of mainstream cartoon characters, fucking in terrifying fursuits, actual NSFW on the con floor, hygene problems, NEETS, sausage-fests, etc

Now imagine every one of those stereotypes is true for 90% of furries. And a "good" fursuit (as in, good construction with a lot of care put into it) is about the same quality as a poorly-homemade fursuit in 2019.

That's basically furry in the 1980's. 80's and 90's furries are the reason the current generation of furries has the stereotypes they currently have

Honestly, sometimes I want to because even though my friends are usually fine roommates AT THE CON, the pressure of trying to find out who is and isn't going this year and getting everything organized is the worst. I always end up being the one reserving the room because out of my group of friends that go to cons, I'm the only one that's enough of a fucking adult to have a goddamned credit card. So I have to pester people constantly and get mad out to be a bitch because I'm trying to reserve a hotel room early and they won't fucking paypal me their share of the room.
Although I will say that I keep getting stuck having to haul my friends' cosplays back and forth for check-in and check-out. If I have to haul someone else's Rose Quartz wig one more goddamned time I'm gonna scream.

Discovered a friend likes to wake up at the ass crack of dawn like a bird. She would get up at 5 or 6 am, pull out a blender and wake everyone up making a fucking breakfast smoothie, or chomp on loud food. The first time around I asked her to go make her blender in the bathroom because it was 6 am and we wanted to sleep. So she did, and the top came off and green shit got everywhere. She only barely cleaned up the mirror and there was still smoothie all over the counter, plus all over me and my other roommates belongings. She cleaned her own stuff but no one else’s nor did she tell us about the mess until we saw it when going to use the bathroom. Next year she was out of her smoothie phase but still would wake up very early. This time she got up at 5 am to eat crackers and peanut butter, woke us up with all the movement and crunching and laughed it off. The next day she did the same thing around the same time but with rice cakes my friend had brought to share for the room and said friend snipped that it was 3 am to go in the bathroom and eat. The next morning the same friend finds a rice cake in the trash with 1 bite taken out of it and asks who it was, and Bird-friend said it was from her, she threw it away because we “told her to stop eating”. Granted, I get that it is pretty gross eating or preparing food in the bathroom but also WTF, it’s a con and the weekend, why are you eating so loudly this early. She would then go to the con at like 9, and at the con we went to stuff doesn’t really start happening until like 10:30-11 AM. Then she’d want lunch at 12, get annoyed when we didn’t wanna go cuz we weren’t hungry + had shit we wanted to see/do.

Is it the worst experience? Definitely not, but it was certainly strange and one of those moments where you find out just how well you get along with friends in a close environment. Discovered quickly that she is not someone I could stand to ever live with.

This fucker proceeds to get so fucking drunk he passes out in one of the beds and we just decide to let him have it for the night and switch out the next night. I'm asleep on the floor and i wake up to a weird noise, the stupid cunt puked all over the side of the bed and then just laid back down on his back, puked again and is now choking on his own vomit. Jump up and literally save this fuckers life making him sit up while my friend manages to sleep through it. Then the smell hits me, not only had he puked all over himself and the bed but he fucking shit himself, its just all over the sheets, soaked into the mattress, just literally everywhere.

This was when I had no friends so I got like 4 randoms on /cgl/ to room with me.

I only had one room rule, which was no inviting randoms to the room without informing the group chat. I made this clear multiple times. Roommates seemed cool so I thought it would all be fine.

I went out in the evening for a photoshoot, then on my way back, one of my roommates calls me saying "why are there 20 people in the room?" I get pissed as fuck and rush back to find like, 20-25 people all drunk as fuck in my hotel room. Also some more people walking to the entrance of my room to get into the party, I guess. Also another roommate was crying because she blew some guy in the bathroom but he refused to eat her out.

I basically yelled at everyone to get out, then I inspected my shit, everything was wet with what was presumably alcohol spills. Luckily nothing important was damaged but goddamn. Fuck that. These people weren't young either, the two roommates who invited all the people and the cocksucker were 24-30.

>hear afterwards that bestie, already in a bad state, got a very angry call from the others saying we took too long and that they need the key back -now- and that she had been trying to explain I had fainted and that we couldn't just get up and get to them immediately and they didn't listen.
>I slept at boyfriends place for the rest of the day and didn't hear from bestie for a week.

Tl;dr: went rooming with a bunch of people I didn't know because one friend thought that was a good idea, everyone shat on us until we had to leave in the middle of the weekend because we couldn't anymore, and I had my annual stress-faint because of it. Never again.

Some fuckboy that was staying with my crew brought a 19 year old he wanted to fuck. Thursday night she immediately starts drinking vodka out of the bottle. Use a cup! She takes my personal laptop over to the table and opens it, no asking or anything, and tries to boot iTunes. So there's this bitch I don't know, drinking my booze, playing with my laptop, and fucking with my playlists, and then she has a fucking seizure.

From the flash on the screen when iTunes finally loaded, she immediately starts with the shaking and eye rolling. I call for the one guy in the room with EMT training and he doesn't respond, cause he's being a fucking robot and has closed himself off in the suite's spare room watching TV. We're at a con, turn off the fucking TV! There's a TV at home! He finally shuffles his retarded ass over to the girl and gets her in a safe position. I call 911 and that's the first ambulance of ACEN that weekend. 5 pm Thursday. So fuckboy and seizure girl go to some hospital. 3 hours later fuckboy calls me to send him a taxi because he has no credit card and no fucking cash. They get back and I ask what the hell happened. The girl tells us all, "Oh I"m supposed to take medication for my seizures but I haven't had one in a while so I stopped taking it."

19, drunk, unmedicated for Grand Mal seizures, fucking with my computer and didn't intend to pay for any part of the room. Booted them the fuck out and they went back to Milwaukee.
