/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

sorry had to do something

he also wasn't that much better at the con

>he randomly does these weird voices where he just repeats stuff like ''OH YEAH'' or ''OH BABY''
>stands over us whilst we're trying to talk to people and does the voices
>acts really hostile towards most of our friends because he has a crush on one of us and views everyone as competition
>views me as competition because I'm smarter than him
>didn't even want me in the hotel
>person in question is a lesbian anyway but he still thinks he has a chance
>btw he's been doing this for almost 4 years

I shit you not

Why the fuck do you keep hanging around with him?

Doesn't sound like a friend to me, y'know. Tell him to get his own fucking hotel room.

>>7588958

after this we don't actually know why we put up with him

>>7588960
You didn't realize after 4 years of this shit?
I suggest not even asking him to go to the next MCM, let him figure out himself why he's not being asked.

>>7588963

I'm not the one he crushes on, I personally don't know why my friend put up with him either. He's deffo not staying in our hotel next time though

Maybe I'm just paranoid about using a shared bathroom but when I have to poop at a con I just use the hotel lobby bathroom at like 5 am when no one else is around.

>>7588965

I always worry about accidentally peeing on the seat and forgetting about it or something

oh and I forgot to mention he woke us up by farting in his sleep

>>7588970
Lovely

>get super sick and have to use the bathroom
>"friend" is in there for two hours
>"GO AWAY ANON I'M BUSY"
>almost die outside from stomach cramps
>"NOT NOW ANON"
>crying and in severe pain I find another, public, bathroom
>call her and tell her I'm going to a hospital
>"teehee anon I just needed to get my shitty yellow cat eye contacts in, I've never done it before lol! stop being such a drama queen geez"
>at least she got a horrible oozing eye infection from them

>>7588877
I just wanted a shower, I didn't want to be confronted with nutella mountain in the toilet!

>>7588989

didn't your room have a mirror outside the bathroom?

>>7589002
if it was anything like the room we had the light was so bad by the outside mirror you couldn't use it to put contacts in anyway.

>when your hotel mate pees on the floor

I've got few long ones.
Sadly when the same group of friends each time causing all the ridiculous problems.
I don't learn I'm sorry.


> First time ever going to Otakon
> Biggest fucking convention ever to me, sofuckingstoked.jpg
> Bring a massive group of friends to split the hotel with, for monetary reasons as well as company
> All together 10 fucking people.
> My BF and I, Asian friend and her sad, perma-friendzone suitor, my close childhood friend, obnoxious bitchy friend , Motherly friend and 3 of her friends we don't really know

Really don't know why I thought this would be a fantastic idea.

> Decide to split up the carpool
> BF leaves first to pick up Mom-friend and her baggage/friends
> Bitchy friend (BCF) drives up Asain and her boy
> Childhood friend (CF) and I go with her mom
> Everyone else arrives at the hotel friday afternoon
> Friend and I don't get there until 11pm friday night because BPT
> Wasted an entire day
> We go back to the hotal to dump everyone's shit
> Mom-Friend's (MF) 2 friend claim the giant bed in the suite immeadiately
> I don't really care, but a little pissed since hotel was reserved in my name
> Whatever, I take the couch bed with the BF and everyone else finds various places to sleep

End of the first fucking day.

Bump

>>7588965
I'm paranoid of somehow clogging the toilet.

> Exhausted and butt-hurt we go to bed

>>7589295

Last day of the convention everyone was pretty tired so we lazed about the convention center the rest of sunday.

I've had two others times that were ridiculous and have made me subsequently associate Otakon with no-fun and waste of money.

>>7589280
Funny story. One of the guys in our group brings 3 friends over to our room and setup to play Mario party even though they have own room. Randomly 1 of the guys says time to leave and they are out in 2 mins.

Like 15 mins later we find toilet clogged and about to overflow. It was probably payback since 1 guy in our group puked all over their room and clothes the night before.

>>7589295
This doesn't sound like a terrible time, except for maybe getting yelled at for coming in late unless you guys were being loud assholes about it. The rest just sounds like you being super fucking needy and expecting a group of ten people to want to do the same things at all times all weekend.

>>7589300
>wasting an opportunity like that

Man, fuck you.

>>7588965
I do this in my college dorm lol.

>>7589307

Not really needy more like trying to make sure shit doesn't get wrecked.

Keep in mind we only had 4 room passes between all of us and some people just took them and ran the fuck off.

Besides that, Bitchy friend would come back to the group every now and again complaining how she almost got raped every 5 seconds she was alone. (Kind of an attention whore)

And childhood friend has diabeetus, and although she needed her kit at all times, she would often get pissed at everyone else for seemly no reason and run off without it. Leaving us to freak out that we were gonna find her in a coma on some stairs some where.

Besides that, I really didn't want to hand out with friends, of my friends friends.

I've culled the lot since then though.

After reading these stories I'm sticking with having the hotel room I booked just to myself and only me when the next big con arrives. I like my space too much and I'll only end up having "friends" who need the spare bed being my shadow all day long cause they have nobody else to hang out with, pestering me about the room key and just in general annoying the fuck out of me. Hell naw.

A few years ago I got hassled into taking my 15-year-old nephew "BECAUSE HE SAVED UP A YEAR TO GO, ANON, DON'T BE HEARTLESS."

Worst. Roommate. Ever.
He's a huge brony.
I really didn't want him to go. I had plans and babysitting wasn't one of them.
>Friends that know him are like, "No, it's no problem! ^_^ We'll watch him!"
>But... it is.
>We set up a schedule for him to call in on.
>He never calls in on time.
>He gets a bit too friendly with another roommate's friend and jealousy is palpable
>But then again, this roommate's friend is 15 and dressed in a full-on slutneko raver costume.
>Other roommates are buttmad that we have an underage there.
>I shrug. I honestly didn't want to bring him either.

next year
>Get bullied into bringing him AGAIN.
>Well, he wasn't as bad as anticipated last year, aside from the not calling in.
>Still doesn't call in.
>Blows all money on shitty AA buttons and gets sick on pocky the first day.
>Wears a horrible closet Kuroshit cosplay where he used colored hair spray.
>Did not clean up his shit.
>Would not shower.

Upon getting back from the con, we had a frank talk with my sister and mother. NEVER. AGAIN. Is he staying with us. He will have to be in cohorts with his weeby brony furry friends that are con cancer if he wants to go ever again.

Last year was so much better because he didn't go. I always feel bad when people are coerced into bringing their family members that can't hide their powerlevel or act like a normal human being. I understand wanting to loosen up, but don't go full retard.

>>7588877
>someone who broke into his house and smoked weed

Who breaks into someones house just to smoke pot?

>>7589388
OK so those are vital details to the story. Otherwise you just sound like that annoying friend that wants all her friends to stay in a big group the entire con and gets pissy when people want to do other things.

>>7588989
Oh man, anon, what happened to you? I mean, you're obviously okay, but what was it?

>Foreign convention time!
>Be sharing room with ex and two friends - all from the country I'm visiting, room is in my name and I paid a little more than everyone else. One of them didn't even pay me.
>Ex and roomies start ignoring me halfway through the weekend
>Ex and roomie #1, a girl who I considered a close friend then, started flirting nonstop and kept doing it for the rest of the weekend.
>Ex kept ignoring me, kept trying to get the other friend to share a bed with me, acted pissed at me anytime I tried saying anything
>Suffering from a lifelong depression and was in a particularly bad place then cause of family and life issues
>Conventions were and still are my vacations, one of the few times I get to fully relax
>Got shat on all weekend by the few people I considered good friends, ended up nearly attempting suicide on the sunday, got stopped by a crowd of strangers who offered hugs and a shoulder to cry on
>Got back to room later on only to stand outside the door to listen to all three of the supposed friends I was sharing with talking about how lame and annoying I was, ex included.
>Pissed off and sick of people, walked into the room and starting packing up, only to get yelled at for ruining their good vibes.

/cgl/, I don't give a shit if I come off as whiny with this post, I was looking forward to a weekend of sharing a room with a guy that I had really deep feelings for and two girlfriends who I considered really close to me. I'm never sharing with multiple people ever again.

I've told this story before but

>>7589463
I had something similar where four of us had booked a hotel room and a week before the con, one girl started chatting about where her little brother was going to sleep.

Cue confusion until she insisted we had all agreed her little brother was staying with us, and that she'd cleared it with us before booking the room so how can we not remember? This definitely wasn't true as I despised her brother; he was a pervy little shit who stole my underwear on more than one occasion. I'd never agree for him to stay with us.

I managed to stop him rooming with us as the room was in my name and was quite happy to kick her out if she brought him along. One of the other girls confided she was glad I'd done so as she disliked the brother too; he'd been trying to feel her up and it made her uncomfortable.

The girl was such a bitch about it all weekend, and the friendship teetered off after that. She blamed me because she suddenly had to find another room for him and kept hinting that I should foot the bill for it, as I'd obviously agreed to let him room for us free of charge. She blamed me for having to walk to the hotel next door to pick him up in the morning. She bitched when we didn't want to see the same panels as him or walked past stalls we didn't want to buy from. When I and the other girl let her know exactly what we thought of her brother, she left with one of the room keys and never came back. Had to pay for the missing key but small price to pay to be rid of the drama.

>>7589536
Thank god you stood up to her. Too many people would just say nothing to her face and gossip behind her back. Plus little perverts like that need to be shown that some people won't put up with them at all, even with the help of their big sister.

relevant

Bump

>>7589508
10/10 would rage again for you, anon. I really hope you cut them off your life now.

>>7589547
What the fuck. I wonder sometimes if people do these things just to be assholes or if they really are that mentally challenged and ignorant of the feelings of others.

>>7589593
In this case I think it's the latter

I've shared this story befor.

AX some years ago, back when I used to stay with an ex-friend who booked the room and always room stuffed. Most of the roommates were fine, but one was a little to hands on. We personally didn't have to much trouble with him, other then having to kick him off our bed, and he being kind of obnoxious.

However, apparently he had told a roommate that he was planning to steal from us, and had apparently assaulted a kid, because the kid had tossed his crappy cardboard meme sign over a balcony. He'd grabbed the kid by the throat and pinned him against a wall while the kids mom was screaming at him to let go.

I wasn't sure how true it was, because this was word of mouth from ex-friend and she was kind of an exaggerating liar.

However, apparently the assault was true because as I was browsing /CGL/ there was a thread about having your prop damaged at con. What shows up but a post by said guy, making it like the kid damaged an important prop. Once I posted, clearing up what actually happened, he tried to cover his ass by saying how hard and carefully he worked on that cardboard sign.

Anons then tore into him about being so psycho over a meme sign, and then he ended up deleting all his posts.

Oh and I don't room or speak to ex-friend anymore because she's another story onto herself.

>>7589581
This happened back in august - The friend that I'll choose to call 'sluttyfriend' is out of my life and everyone else's and she's finally starting to realise what exactly she's done wrong. She has backed off and won't be going to cons anymore.
Other girl and I get along fine, she wasn't too involved in the situation.
I'm sure my ex still secretly hates me, but things have finally gotten peaceful between us after a few many months of pure hell. I can't really bring myself to forgive him for any of the things he's done, but I'd rather get along than spend every moment of my life being miserable about something that hurt me that much.

He ruined another con for me as well, not so much a shitty roomate story as it is a shitty person story so maybe some other time.

On a lighter note though, here is a shitty room story
>Sharing with a good guy friend, he's booked a single room, we're both poor, so might as well split it
>Get a doublebed even though it's a single
>Sweet, sweet
>No door to the bathroom though, cause it's a single. Why would you need a door when it's just you, right?
All weekend, the room mostly smelled like shit and if both of us were in the room at the same time, we'd need the other person to leave so we could go to the bathroom in peace.
Good one Hilton, you have convinced me to not book a single with another person again. Damn hotels and their stupid way of making sure to fuck people over if they break the rules.

>>7589508
Man, I just feel gutted by that story. it'll be good for you to cut those fuckers out of your life
>I'd hang out with you and be pals

Me and one of my friends once shared a room with a guy we met on the convention's website. They seemed like cool people, and they said they had plenty of room so we thought everything would be all right.

Now, I had heard the stories about con cereal before this point, about people getting bowls of snacks from the consuite and then mixing it with the free soda they provide. This guy made such a thing more disgusting than it already was.

Con cereal was ALL HE ATE. Seriously. We'd order pizza, he ate con cereal instead. We go down to the hotel restaurant, he'd stay in the room and eat con cereal. It got to a point where we were actually begging him to eat something else because he we couldn't look at him when he was eating. We ended up sleeping in the van we brought instead of sharing the room with the guy, because the smells he made when he was sleeping were by far the most revolting thing I have ever experienced.

So yeah. We've sprung for our own hotel rooms since.

>>7589789
I've been attending cons for almost ten years and I have never heard on con cereal until now. And I thought I'd seen it all.

>end up getting a room with a ton of people, most friends who are chill and my girlfriend
>one friend decides to bring 3 other friends, who ruined the trip (and didn't pay like they said they would)

fucking crazy tumblr girls yo

>>7589649
>Hanging out with your ex

Why do people do this?

>>7589356
also she was a hamplanet

>>7588877
Did he cosplay as genderbent stuff? If so, I may actually know this guy.

Never had a horror story this bad, and never will. I only share rooms with one friend, and seeing as I'm a drama queen and he's a slob, it's a good thing we decide to not inflict ourselves upon other people.

Funny story from a vacation, but not con-related:
>check-in at hotel after camping trip
>all our stuff is wet and dirty with mud from the endless storm that had been raging
>I do my laundry on day 1, get it over with
>friend leaves his stuff soaking wet inside his backpack for the three days we stayed in town
>he wakes up very late and decides to do laundry mere hours before our flight
>shit was so stinky I nearly threw up when I touched it, but we couldn't stop laughing
>we missed the flight because his stuff wasn't clean on time
>at least he admitted it was his fault and paid for my flight home

My three stories
>first time sharing a room
>There is a girl that acted like a 7 years old girl
>She was around 22 and refused to admit she used the bathroom.
>So everytime she needed to take a shit or a piss she would tell us she needed 'private time' and kicks all of us to the hall to get in the bathroom.
>Like we couldn't smell the shit after she let us get in the room again

Another story
>A girl that left hair everywhere
>You went to the bathroom there was a massive ball of hair moving throught the floor, like in a fucking western film
>You were about to put your clothes, there was a ball of hair there
>anther girl claimed she find a ball of hair tnagld in her hair
>she was nice so we never complained, but it was weird as fuck, wonder if there was something wrong with her hair.

And one more
>Girl leaves a big period stain on her bed first day.
>She refused to ask for a sheet change because she felt embarassed
>She slept two nights with period stained sheets.
>Make us promise to not thell anybody when leaving.
>Kinda felt shame for her and agreed.
>I still feel bad for the staff who had to clean that

>>7589789
>con cereal

People actually eat that shit?

>Not wanting to listen to the Pink Guy album

You must be one serious faggot OP.

>>7590038
What is con cereal?

>>7589508

How about you don't invite your fucking EX to your "vacation time" you fucking retard? Im sad you didn't succeed in killing yourself.

I'm thinking about becoming a roommate in some stranger's hotel room, but it all seems scary to me. Is it worth it?

>>7590069
What is reading?

Shut the fuck up, asshole. Nobody needs your pretentious bullshit.

To the other anon, I'm glad you're doing better.

>>7590081
I've done it a few times with mixed results. I posted >>7589525
but I've also had 2 really good experiences. Beforehand the whole room had group chats and we all discussed rules and costs and a few people paid in advance via Paypal etc. We talked on facebook, which is good because you can look at someone's profile and see if they seem alright or noticeably cray cray.

Other time was a while ago so I can't quite remember it well but I found a group of friends online and stayed with them. I think we had 5 or 6 people in the room. They were all friends and I was a little younger than them so it was really fun. They sort of just absorbed me into their friend group for the weekend which was really fun.

>>7590109
I may not be understanding the situation 100% but you sound like a duckling. Don't follow people around and act like it's their fault you are hungry.
"Yo, I'm starving, I'm going to get some food, want to come?"

>>7590140
Ah, should have stated. Sorry, bit tired. It was more like it was about midnight and in a shady area. By that time I had gotten a few drinks in me as well, so I wasn't really comfortable walking alone, all of which I had tried explaining to her. That, plus she knew the area better than me since she had been there before.

>>7590166
Aight, my bad.

>>7589633
Oh lordy that's gold, do you have screencaps?

>sharing room with three people

>"OK OK we're sorry, night."
>five minutes of silence
>"AAAHHWOOBWOOBWOOBOOoo.. AHHWOOBOBOBOO"
>completely lost it again

I have never laughed so hard in my life. She was the only one who got a blink of sleep because even though it was hilarious, it got old.

>>7589840
Ah, okay. You should've mentioned that, and I wouldn't have said "fuck you".

>>7590069

>step 1: go to consuite and get a bowl full of snacks such as cheesy poofs and M&Ms (note that they must be snacks, ramen and actual food will not work)
>step 2: go to the free soda area and fill your snack bowl full of soda. If your con doesn't have free soda, you're going to have to buy a bottle yourself.
>step 3: eat

This is a recipe favored by disgusting people going to the video rooms, but you can eat your con cereal anywhere and disgust other con goers!

>>7590266
I would like to know what sperglord or Master Troll came up with that shit. Jesus Christ.

Fucking disgusting (and that's coming from a guy who used to routinely eat an entire jar of cake frosting with a spoon in one sitting).

>>7588969
Get in the habit of doing a "courtesy wipe" with a disinfectant wipe, like one of the orange scented Clorox ones.

>>7589014
>you step in a puddle
>you realize it's not water

>>7590274

Apparently it tastes unbelievably sweet, with a hint of savory cheese flavor.

Also, don't let it sit out too long, because after awhile it sort of congeals into a syrup-like mess. This happened once when I was around the guy, and yes, he ate it like that as well.

>>7590071
Right, I probably should have included the part where he and I were still together back then.

>>7590326
That makes the whole thing 10x worse, I'm so sorry anon. When you said ex, I figured you had already paid for everything and decided to go despite having broken up, or something else along those lines. Glad you got rid of the asshole.

>>7590339
Yeah bad mistake of me to not include that detail originally haha.
Anyway, regarding that incident, I'm all better now. I have developed a bunch of trust issues since then, but that's just what happens.

Anyone who's ever worked in food service (and had to clean restaurant bathrooms) can tell you girls are 100% nastier than guys.
Yeah, mens room might smell and have pee on the ground but I've never seen literal shit on the walls, pads on the floor like in girls rooms.

>>7590444
This
>Be driving home from con

oh gosh I remember some.

> be me, found awesome cheap hotel the year before, so of course me and my gf staying there again
> check in. ell my gf to go into the yard if she needs to spraypaint her sword since she mentioned it.
>I go down to the hotel manager to pay for our stay in advance.
> go back up, see gf staying at the window
> terrible smell hits me
> what are you doi......oh shit
> she layed her sword down on the board in front of the window, giving it a nice few clear coats
> no newspaper whatsoever under it
> facepalm and panicking but too late
> the clear varnish left a nice visible stain. you can see what she did with her sword
> darker spot in shape of sword on the board
> oh god
> try to get all the clear coat off the board
> no success
> give her a good scold and tell her we most likely have to pay for the damage she did.
>not amused. also afraid con will never ever again let us stay there.

she was never the smartest....sadly

Next year, we try to get the same hotel.
> nope
> weird... no one ever books this hotel. especially not so far in advance
> ask friend who also goes to the con if he can get 2 rooms
> he calls the hotel and gets 2 rooms immediately...maybe 5 minutes after we've called
> Oh god we're on the blacklist now obviously...
>go to con & hotel
> meet manager again
> her face drops when she sees us

> me embarassed as hell and apologizing to her
> scold my gf again when we're about to go upstairs." I told you not to do this inside"

gladly nothing else happened

2/2 continued


> taking another hotel the year after.
> gf dyed her hair blue for a cosplay
> enjoy first day of the con, going back to the hotel, taking a shower
> gf works on some small things for her cosplay for the next day
> tired as fuck
> wishing her a good night and telll her to use my towels I brought with me (2 big towels for each of us. yes I like to bring my own towels), so she won't stain the hotel towels and pillow.
> go to sleep while gf is fixing the last parts
> wake up, doing morning routine
> after I get out of the bathroom I see a horrible mess. 2 hotel towels with blue stains all over on the heating
> blue all over her pillow and bedsheet...and also the blanket
> internal scream

she pulled things like this every con and every year. broke up with her a few years ago because of various reasons...
But damn I'm glad not to have to share a room with someone unresponsible/dumb anymore.

Another weird story:
>Drive to con just for one day by train
> friend stayed the night in a hotel in this city
> I pay her a visit to pick her up at her hotel and also changing into costume
> get into lobby.
> see just a black man at the frontdesk

>meet friend, get dressed
> going downstairs
> sudden screaming from the frontdesk
> hotel lady enraged, screaming at my friend that she's not allowed to share the room
> wtf
> oh god she thinks I stayed her the whole night?
> explain that I just arrived 30 minutes ago
> WELL I DIDN'T SEE YOU THOUGH!!
> because you weren't here back then. the black guy was here but didn't notice me since >he was on the phone and arguing with another woman
>He admits he was on the phone and talking to a woman
> EVERYONE COULD SAY THAT!
> explain how the lady looked and what she wore
> he tells manager lady that I'm saying the truth
> lady trying to kill us with a glare as we go
> go to the con and apologize to my friend for causing so much trouble

>>7590449
What the fuck, who does this shit? I've been in some awful stalls, and only twice in my life, have I seen shit smeared on the stalls.

>>7590449
agreed
The con stalls are sometimes really bad

the worst I experienced so far was a bloodstained used sanitary pad laying on the trashcan in the stall for everyone to see. and an used tampon at the floor.

>>7590475
Ive seen worse. It wasnt just stains. It looked like someone had terrible diahhrea and constapation. held it in for hours and finally let it out in a massive wet fart while squatting on the toilet seat like you would with those asian squating toilets. There was shit everywhere. On the walls, all over the toilet itself . A korean woman walked out of the stall as i was about to go in with embarrassment and horror on her face. Nasty bitch

>>7590071
this.
>>7589837

>>7589858

no he cosplyed jojos bizarre adventure shit

>>7590478
Worst I've ever seen was a toilet in a movie theater that was drenched in blood, like I'm thinking someone gave birth in this toilet from the sheer amount of blood that was covering the seat/running down the sides from underneath the seat. And while I was in the next stall, I heard a woman come in, sit down, and use it?? I was beyond horrified, she didn't even seem phased by it.

Yeah, women are really disgusting.

>>7589836
>inviting the person back again
Now that shit is your own fault.

>stay at Fairmont
>don't tip
That was me. I feel really sorry for the cleaners there. They were also all really nice as well. I suppose they get a huge bonus every year or something. But honestly they were in and out before I could even reach for my wallet.

>>7589295
You do sound somewhat bitchy youself, you know?
Ever considered that your needy behaviour was at least part of the reason your group split?

>>7590540
Why are people expected to tip? If workers don't get paid enough, that's the government's problem to fix, isn't it?

>>7589295
Wow, you sound like a fat, needy person.
>Only set back is it's two blocks away
Yeah, it's hot-- get over it. You should have chosen more appropriate costumes. The fact that you were tempted to drive two blocks astounds me.
>Everyone splits
>Is livid
Dude, it's a convention. Cut your losses and have fun, that's what they're there for. I bet the friends who split up with you were having fun.

It also sounds like you guys probably came in loud at the end if you were being chewed out.

>>7590538
I mean WE didn't really invite her, our friend did.

>>7590545
>>7590542

For clarification, that story is the same as >>7589822

And no, we were quiet when we came back, didn't even talk. They were just bitches.

>>7588877
Woah cool dubs
OP's friend here (one of the guys who got thrown out). He forgot to mention that this guy was running about telling everyone that he'd won some kind of 'MCM Expo Prize'. We had to congratulate him for it and everything. You could practically feel the autism. Someone also mentioned yesterday that he licked her friend but I'm not sure about that story.

>>7590456
He turned off the new Kanye track to play some autistic comedy memerap, come on...

>>7588958
>>7588960
>>7588963
Just to clarify, only OP's female friend knew him before Con, none of us would ever hang with him again.

>>7590575

oh shit, I ran into that guy, it was fucking stupid

Read the thread, they were together at the time.

>>7590414
> "So I can hear better"

>>7590543
Tipping isn't always expected. And the problem is that people bypass the "minimal wage law" by claiming that their employees make up for the minimum wage through tips. And sometimes that isn't true.

I tip on account of good service only. I appreciate when people go the extra mile to ensure that you leave with a smile, and therefore use the tip as a reward.

And that's how my con-going group was destroyed

>>7590586
Thirding this. Someone mentioned him on the 'cosplays you're sick of seeing' thread. He grinded on my (lesbian!) friend and, according to the other thread, licked another girl. And apparently he won a prize and told the whole con about it? Weird guy. He wouldn't stop laughing like a crazy boy. How old is he? Maybe someone should speak to him about all these complaints, if he really is autistic then he needs help. I know 4Chan hates autistics but I'm being serious here.

>>7590851
sperglord or not, shitting on the person that drives you to wherever you're going is a terrible thing to do.
>>7590860
The lesson here is you never take normals to anime cons. What the hell do they get out of it anyway? fucking dude-bros.
sperglord should have left the two of them at the hotel and let them find their own way back.

>>7590874
Not everyone who enjoys cons is weird and not every normal person is a sports-loving dudebro. You can be well-adjusted and enjoy anime, games, cosplay, or comics so long as it's all in moderation and not an obsessive lifestyle. I usually go to cons with some regular-looking and chilled out guys because i don't enjoy the company of autistics. Don't be so judgemental!

>>7590897
Append statement to dude-bros then.

>>7590874
They weren't really dudebros, moreso like >>7590897 said, just well-adjusted people who like anime and moreso games. I was driving us all and the stress of them arguing was immense, especially while driving.

The sperglord guy isn't really that bad in general (or a literal sperglord, just awkward), but having those polarized personalities in a group doesn't work well. Shouldn't have done it in the first place, but we all wanted to go and could only afford it with a really split cost between 5 people. So it goes.

>tfw trying to find other con-going friends both online and off without real success

>>7589525
>Getting hit on by a 24 year old while 16
>24 year old sees no problem with it
Oh anon, I feel you, I really do

>>7590932
I feel you. I miss being like 14 and knowing that other cosplayers of my age would likely be good-hearted kids with similar interests. It was really easy to make con friends then, but it's fairly hard to find nice, well-adjusted adults who still like cosplay and stuff. They're around, but cons always seem to be full of spergs and creeps.

>>7590867

he's 20

Definitely not as horrible as all the stories before it but for someone who has issues rooming with strangers unless I have a familiar face or two with me, these were a horror for me.

>>7591019
What a disgusting creature. Why don't con staff deal with creepers seriously? Why are men allowed at cons actually?

>>7591045

b-because we like cosplaying

>>7591051
Yes okay but most of them just seem to come to harass young girls, like pic related. Plus theyre shitty cosplayers. Moral horrors, not to be tolerated at all. The only acceptable nerdy men are the ones who are secretive about their interests. Would any of you honestly date a creepy nerdy 20 year old? Of course not.

>>7591062

>implicating that nerdy girls can't be just as bad

>>7591067
In my experience they are worse.

FACT: 100% of Con Drama comes from girls.

>mfw just played a Priest who didn't play an minions, and only 3 spells in 7 turns before I wrecked him

W-what could he have been planning?

My hotel mates are usually pretty chill but they have the worst habits I've ever seen courtesy wise.
>be poor and bring my own food.
>mates are always eating my stuff regardless of how much money they still have to get food with, they'd rather blow it all on figs the last day and force me to spend every penny I have on trying to eat/hydrate.
>when they do get food their trash is EVERYWHERE. No where is sacred.
>whatever, it's a couple of days and I can afford to lose weight and clean up.
>Our group is usually a small section of a very large one and we book the small suits. 10 people in one room and group is about 20+ in number.
>The room party is insane every night but none of us sleep normally so there's no problem with people wanting to crash out.
>two friends have to be monitored for their consumption or they'll get really sick... scary sick and I'm usually the one handing them other drinks/caring for them when they're ill.

No idea why it doesn't bother me more, at least they're clean and shower obsessively/ are really great in other ways.

>>7591069
Drama never hurt anyone, sexual harassment did.

>>7591079
sexual harassment isn't annoying talking like you think it is.

If someone puts touches you inappropriately or says inappropriate things that is.

"Hey, you're cute, I like you, you're pretty, wanna date? Please? But I really think you are hot."

is not sexual harrasment

>>7591082
That case you mentioned can become sexual harassment though quite easily though, assuming the person doesn't leave the other alone when asked or starts making legit inappropriate comments.

Personally, I'd rather be in a room with 50 drama queens than 50 people known for sexual harassment, of any gender.

>>7589789
>con cereal

what is that?

>>7591078
>go to con with a new group of friends
>con was 10 minutes away from hotel, one guy drove us there
>he would never stop to get fast food or go back to the hotel to grab food (I packed healthy since I go hard at the raves and need the nutrition)
>he would never stop since "he wasn't hungry" and we were forced to resort to the expensive con food
>ate my food, left shit everywhere, decided to cut his hair in the room and left hair fucking everywhere on the floor
>drove aimlessly around the huge city the con was in, refusing to look at a map/ask for directions, took us like 45 minutes to find the damn center
>mentioned he was going to bring girls back to our room for the lewds (Thank god his game is weak and it didn't happen)
>had a shitty attitude at the con since "his costume sucked" because he didn't work on it in the 2 months' notice I gave him (it was a suit, for christ's sake)

>>7589280
I always flush the toilet about 5 times in regular intervals when I take a shit to make sure I don't.

>>7591104
reading the thread for more than 20 seconds, jesus

>>7591109
That's... a little excessive and wasteful and probably worse for the toilet. Like twice if it's a big shit, but damn.

>>7591117
Most of the times is from wiping if I use a ton of toilet paper.

>>7591121
how much toilet paper do you use that you need to flush 5 times???? jesus christ if it's that bad splash your ass in the sink or something.

>>7591078
Tell them to fuck off the next time they try to eat your food. That shit is so disrespectful and rude, holy shit. And if they can't fucking take care of themselves, they shouldn't be allowed to come along if they have to be "monitored". You aren't their parent.

>>7589295
Having an incredibly hard time understanding what was "terrible" about any of this at all. Like...do you really think any group so large is going to stay together the whole 3 days, or even for longer than a few minutes at any time? Even being a group cosplay doesn't mean you spend the whole damn con together. I usually go to cons with only two or three other people and even so our tastes are different enough that we split a lot.

Sorry you didn't get the big bed I guess, but you should have said something beforehand.

>>7590266
I asked about con cereal, Jesus Christ that's disgusting.

>>7591104
dude its been explained already in the thread, don't be lazy.

>>7589789

who the fuck came up with con cereal anyway?

>>7591135
>splash your ass in the sink

haha....wat

>>7590696
Now that I see it...I can't find words.

Once time I paid for a hotel room so my friends and I could have a place to stay at a con. It was for four people and the fourth guy wasn't exactly a con-goer, here's what happened.
>Fourth guy was a beta skinnyfag who will fuck anything.
>Beta spends the whole con trying to get laid.
I make it very clear to him that unless he plans on fucking someone in the bathroom, that's not happening on our beds.
>He brings back three people. A Hambeast, a poly dude that came for the league tournament and an actual cute 9/10 girl that friend was trying to get with.
>Poly-dude is dating 9/10 girl but they get in a fight because he wants to fuck another girl.
>9/10 girl starts crying and things get awkward for all of us and she leaves. Hambeast and Poly-dude stay.
>Hambeast decides she's getting dick tonight whether it be from my Beta friend or the Poly-dude, she's not picky.
This is getting awkward so I make attempts at telling them to get out.
>"We've got panels to get to, we will catch you guys later!"
>"We've got to change into our costumes, see you at the rave!"
Neither work. Hambeast and Beta think that means they can stay in the room and fuck.
>I start literally sewing on a machine and kill the music to make the most uninviting environment possible. They still don't leave.
>Hambeast knows I'm a male, tries to initiate fourway between me, beta and Poly-guy
>puke.jpg
I stop sewing and tell them all to go fuck somewhere else. Lock them out and go to con-rave. We all find the 9/10 girl and she's actually chill as fuck, we are friends with her now.
Con-goers are the worst at picking up hints. End of story.

>Bonus: Beta friend goes back to Hambeast's room only to be blue-balled at her door and presumably Poly-guy and Hambeast make sweaty dorito-cheese love.

Since we've got the usual spate of Disgusting Female Tales, allow me to add one from the Y-chromosone perspective:

>get room for AWA, everyone's fucking awesome and just generally awesome
>use toilet
>shitty useless low-flow POS jams on my waste product
>no plunger get rekt
>best friend looks into toilet bowl and sees gigantic turd with two little scraps of cheap one-ply hotel paper floating about it
>he cannot withstand the terrifying might, the gargantuan majesty of MegaDuce
>"THAT WAS PAPER!" his voice cries to the heavens with desperate denial. "YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!"

He denies it to this day. But we're going to AWA again this year, and again we're sharing a hotel room.

This time, he won't be able to deny the awful truth before his eyes. He will be forced to bow in disgust and revulsion, and acknowledge the fell and terrible power of MegaDeuce.

>>7591062
>Yes okay but most of them just seem to come to harass young girls
That's not really true at all. How much harassment under reporting do you think is going on here? It feels like I'm listening to Tasha Yar talk about her home planet. If most men came to cons to harass young girls it'd be a hell hole, you're delusional.

>>7591271

I have no fucking idea, you'd think just the idea itself would make people sick enough not to try it

>>7591341
People do the breakfast of champions (beer and cereal)....

>>7591310
>Hambeast knows I'm a male

I feel like something is missing here

Don't think I'm going to recruit roomies from the con forums ever again.

1st time:
>Sailor Moon weeb mid-20s & a Homestuck mid-20s
>SM-weeb was okay - a lil messy, but tolerable
>Homestuck, not so much
>eye-goggling my gf, get that straightened out right away
>never asked and used all of my make-up wipes to take off their gray paint
>bragged about making out with 13yo's and how she tries to have sex at every con
>room was playing "have you ever" and bragged that she was the first one "out", everyone ignores her

2nd and last time
>30yo guy - FB him, gross and scary looking, and balding hair. seems nice so I give him a chance
>turned out to be needy as fuck, a beta pushover, and on the spectrum
>complained that he got conned out of money last time he asked for a room; now I can see why
>wants my gf and I to escort him 3 min down the street to an eatery because he's scared he'll get mugged
>shows off his "kawaii" stuff and shows us all his anime he brought, but no sleeping supplies or clothes
>proud of his sexy generic anime wallpaper and said I'd like it too because I like girls
>complained that no one will like him because everyone in the room was either taken or liked girls
>(like he would get any)
>says that my gf and I might turn him on because we showered together
>he never showered himself
>wanted us to chaperone him everywhere and tag along

>>7591069

That sounds like compulsive behaviour, you may have some sort of OCD and you should check it out before it gets worse. Mine has.

It's not the worst horror story since everything ended up working out, but I'll give it a go.

>be 16

These threads make me want to regularly take extra trash bags, quality toilet paper, windex and other cleaning tools with me to whatever con I go to. Sure there's maid service but at 2am and you just want sleep you're willing to scrub it yourself.

Also paranoid about clogging the toilets or just being heard. I usually go down to the lobby bathrooms. I'd never force people out of the room though. That's like full on announcing you're pooping rather than discretely doing it.

This thread also makes me happy that nearly all my con hotel experiences have been great wow.

>>7591430
>i buy a Homura figure

Is it weird I imagined S wearing an ill-fitting Mami cosplay before even reading this?

not nearly as great as some of yours, but here's mine from a recent convention. it's mainly at the actual con with my hotel mates; i hope that's ok

ugh. i mean it's my fault for going with them, but seriously? never going to a con with them again.

>>7591458
Actually, you're not too far off the mark. S did eventually wear a shiny, ill-fitting Sayaka cosplay at a con that took place a few months after all the Metro drama. Pic related.
>>7591459
What's with Homestucks and faking mental illnesses and panic attacks? So many of them do it, it's so obnoxious.

>>7591197
Also if they were just friends, it's more logical. Me and my boyfriend take the smaller places because it's not awkward for us to spoon....

>>7591407
You mean the spectrum of male to female?
gb2 tumblr, gender is a binary.

>>7591445
I had an older photographer friend who'd I room with at con. He had to have surgery that removed part of his intestines.

As a curtsy to us, he'd go to the lobby bathroom instead so not to reek up the room.

>>7591497
>you

>>7591197
I get what you are saying but you have to admit it's better when you have more people in your cosplay group.

"Wow! I love your batman and robin costumes!"
"Ha, thanks, we have a batgirl and nightwing...somewhere..."

>>7591504
Courteous people are a treasure.

>>7591389
Complaints are 50-50. But guys might be messy are creepy, but don't give a fuck, girls have fake emotional breakdowns for attention and cry about boyfriends and friends betraying them etc.

tl;dr
>This guy was smelly and ruined the con.
>This girl cried for 3 days straight and ruined the con.

>>7591430
>Metrocon

I've never been to a con before but seeing as how I am a tampafag I was considering it. I am currently building a nightwing costume and wondered if you saw nightwing or any other DC cosplays there. Did you enjoy it?

Also not that it matters, just curious, but assuming you are a semi-normalfag is it easy to get laid?

>>7591563
I'm sure a DC cosplay would be cool there. I'm not all that well-versed in comics, so I'm not sure how many people do cosplay comic characters. I always have fun at Metro, though. However, Megacon has a ton of people cosplaying from comics. This year was a clusterfuck, though. Also, I wouldn't know about getting laid at a con. It's not really anything that's crossed my mind.

>>7591565
I know, I was just curious because some dude in my Econ class goes on and on about how he got laid at Metrocon and how "if you're at least a 7 you're in easy pussy heaven" and I was wondering if there's any truth to that.

But I generally want to go to con to see cool costumes and have fun, however if the opportunity shows itself I will certainly jump on it.

>>7588877

Went to AWA 3 yrs ago and shared a room with 7 other people. got back to my room at 1 in the morning and someone had literally shit in the center of one of the beds in the room. It wasnt like someone accidently shit in the bed either, this was an intention pay load that someone had dropped on a perfectly kept mattress.

>>7591585

Not as bad as others but it was miserable still.

>go back to room around 2 am to shower and sleep.
>grandma wakes up and now refuses to let us use the shower. Throws an epic bitch fit and L, K, and myself have to leave and shower in a pervy acquaintances room. Offered us his used soap.
>we shower quickly and head back to the room
>walk in to unsettling loud noise. It's the grandmas machine.
>not 10 minutes after laying down on floor she starts snoring 10x louder than the damn machine.
>how the hell is M asleep it's literally like a Harley motorcycle is in the room.
>tired and uncomfortable, poor L is in the corner near the door trying to get away from the awful loud noises.
>try to plug in earphones and music but the noise is so loud I can still hear it.
>eventually pass out but woken up just a few hours later by M and her grandma getting ready
>talking loudly shuffling through bags
>they leave around 8am and we can sleep in peace finally

It didn't help that M's grandma kept taking us to expensive places for food. So M had wonderful meals while the rest of us broke teenagers couldnt afford $15 meals every day...

Thankfully we are all adults now and M is no longer in the con scene.

>>7590071
whoa I almost cut myself on this post

>>7590487
Haha we have that problem with russian tourists.
They don't know how to use a toilet (or maybe theirs are dirty) and they squat on them they and up shitting all over the toilet seat or breaking them.
Because of that we have these signs like pic related.

>He turned off the new Kanye track to play some autistic comedy memerap, come on...
sounds like you're the autistic one tbh

>>7590254
Not that guy, but when it comes to cosplay I assume everyone is a hamplanet until proof otherwise.
Really reduces the long term disappointment.

>literally a "not all men" argument
>it's like I'm really on r9k
if guys don't want to be grouped together like that, get on each other to stop harassing girls.

>>7591802
I'm not a guy, and it wasn't a "not all men" argument, it was saying that even if every guy does it to you they're not the same fucking person doing it. Harassment is when one person does the same thing multiple times.

>>7591805
It doesn't matter if you're a guy, and yeah, that comment is a "not all men" argument.
I see what you're saying now though, but that doesn't make it any less annoying when it happens. And oftentimes when girls get tired of being hounded like the other anon said, they'll ask to be left alone and their pursuers will either
>a. "WOW, BITCH MUCH???"
>b. "Oh, sorry, didn't realize, this always happens when I try to talk to girls, <insert self pity here>"

>>7591725
It's the quality of the bathrooms in the country side in Russia. Sometimes the toilet would be just a hole in the ground. When traveling in between destinations, you'd safely assume there's no toilet at all. So people squat in the woods, take a shit, and leave like it's no big deal. Fast forward a a few years (3+) and now they're in the U.S. and using Russian ways of using the bathroom because that's just how life was.

>>7591812
It doesn't make it less annoying, no, and who cares if they're seen as a bitch or something, why would you care what the opinion of someone like that is?

I guess I'm not really bothered by this kind of thing because I deal with it more myself and I get tired of these piss fights over who's entitled to what. Both parties are entitled, both of them are annoying, both of them need to deal with eachother and shut the hell up.

I don't know but this one time a friend of mine had to step away from a raid in WoW because some drunk guy walked into their house and sat down on the couch and was fully convinced it was their own house.

>>7589473

Stoners, dude.

>>7591866
>>7591871

were you fucking spooning with him or something?
>you blame him for spilling sauce on the bed when it would have done the same thing when you moved it
next time don't pour liquids into a fucking paper bag, dipshit
>bring friends over
I assume you're not a dipshit and he's paying for his part of the room, in which case if you didn't bring up having people he doesn't know in the room with him at all, you're a fucking cunt. no way do I want to leave my shit around people I don't know
>he wanted to go to bed at 9 while you wanted to party all night
big fucking deal
he probably had shit he wanted to go see tomorrow, or he didn't want to sleep until past noon
>YOU GO TO BED AT 9? LOL ARE YOU A GRADE SCHOOLER? WILL YOUR MOMMY GET MAD IF YOU STAY UP LATE?
grow the fuck up

>didn't clean up the bathroom after using it
this is pretty gross though.

>>7591802
>get each other to stop harrasing women
You realize men don't have a committee where we decide these things. Con creepers don't usually have friends anyway.
Like the people on tumblr who say "don't get mad at us for saying all men are X, tell the ones who are to stop giving you a bad name!"
Like, please tell me where I can find a rapiest/murderer to shame.

Oh, I have one I forgot about.

The rest of the con was just as embarrassing as the first day. I never roomed with them again.
There's a lot of other details that made it worse, but I'm tired and don't feel like typing all that out.

>>7591974
>a tent with homestucks

Sorry if it's not as interesting as you'd hoped, haha.
D was pretty cool though, we still hang out at times.

>>7591965
I'd say the guy walking around in his underwear was very inappropriate. His lack of hygiene is rather repulsive as well. Also, if they are all equally paying for the room, each room mate (including OP) should be allowed their share of listening to music. And of course I agree with you on the toilet thing.

The other stuff is sort of just the fact that people expect others to be flexible.

>this entire thread

This is why I never roomshare at cons I go to.

That and having some guaranteed peace and quiet to yourself.

>>gf: "so I can hear better.."
That's fucking hilarious.

>>7592002
I forgot about him going out into the hallway in his underwear. I'd let it slide if he had a shirt on at least, I've had to pop over to the ice machine a few times in boxers.
In the hotel room, it shouldn't be a big deal.

>>7592174
I'm a dude and I think there is really no reason to just wear boxers to bed/walk around in boxers when sharing a room. Get pj bottoms, and god forbid you sleep next to someone in boxers you don't even know. I'd be uncomfortable if it was a girl doing it too.

>>7591859
Yeah. I had a long talk to her why she can't just damage the hotel room and thinking it's not a big deal at all. She paid for the damage and I took her with me to apologize so she doesn't feel to embarassed.
Yeah that's exactly what I think nowadays. But love is blind.
And the reason I don't spare rooms anymore except if I know the person is responsible, clean and know her/him very well.
It's still bad because hotels here usually have inofficial blacklists. They always deny it and it's forbidden to have those usually...but hotels don't give a shit and warn the other hotels in the area if someone damaged their rooms.(can't even blame them... I wokred a long time in hotels myself) And if YOUR name is the one you booked the room with you're just fucked. I'm glad I could explain to the managers who's fault it was...but I'm still worried sometimes I'm still on one of those lists because my (ex)gf didn't think about what she was doing.
Gladly I earn more money than back then and usually take higher class hotels now...so I never had a problem again with booking one. Just the hotel she spraypainted her damn sword in...I loved the hotel. because it was small and just 2-300 metres away from the con. All other hotels are much further away. Well, lesson learned.

Can you guys please use fake names instead of letters? It's makes it hard to follow what's going on.

Here's a story of what could have been.

>Going to a con
>Go into con forum to chat up locals about roomshares
>Girl offering up her room
>Oh cool, that looks like something I can do
>See she is also offering it up to 9 other people after I post
>also says she's rooming with her special-needs cousin/sister/something or whatever
>wait wut no thanks
>find some other guy offering a room for 2 other people
>take him up on that offer
>says he's super chill and the other guy he vaguely knows seems to be, too
>talk about room-sharing with a cosplay customer for the local con
>oh he's a local, too!
>bring up the girl I talked to
>by some weird coincidence, he brings up that he actually lives with her
>warns me off a second time
>sends me photos of the house he lives with her and her family in
>semi-hoarder situation
>trash and random shit everywhere

In short, here's what I got:
>awesome roomies
>we're all 21+
>guy who got the room is a nearly-toothless country guy nervous about cosplaying for the first time
>SUPER SWEET I LOVE HIM
>puts down ground rules of: be kinda' clean, please no sex in the room, don't be an idiot.
>I can deal with that
>second guy buys a shitton of alcohol
>great at mixing drinks
>kinda' skeevy, but I make my boundaries known and he's semi-respectful about it.
>I'm super chill so nothing phases me and I deal with shit well
>I buy some snacks and some snackable real food [fruit, granola, water bottles] for the room
>everyone likes each other
>everything was awesome

What I avoided:
>girl and her TWO special-need sisters/cousins/whatever they were + her chaperon aunt
>autist/socially awkward fam
>fursuit sex in the next room that she frequented
>I only wish I was joking
>getting in trouble for coaxing under 21 to drink
>aunt berating the staff about one thing or another
>hambeast zoo
>we were invited to a "party" in her room but noped out when we saw it was piled with trash
>also smelled like period blood, rotting food, and BO.

It went well, I think.

Bump

This is the story of my con experience that mainly centers on the actions of a guy that I am going to call Dick (for reasons that will make themselves obvious later on).

The other players in our story consist of the following:

1. My childhood friend and stoner who I am going to call Bud. He's like 5'2 and a pretty stand-up guy. Chill as fuck and has a good sense of humor despite being somewhat on the quieter side. Lower power level than the rest of us, but really into what little things he likes.

2. A girl I will call Coke because she's looks like the white girls tumblrtards joke about. (Wears tracksuits, drinks Starbucks, etc.). She's more into sci-fi and fantasy novels and mostly into nostalgic stuff from her teen years as far as anime is concerned. She's finally getting into some newer things. This was her first anime con in a long time.

3. Bud's boyfriend who I will refer to as Carrot-top. He's huge and Irish-looking as fuck, complete with red hair. Loves a lot of the same video games and anime I do. We get along pretty well.

4. Me. A nondescript female.

And finally

5. Dick. Poly-sexual vampire wannabe, New Age-er, hipster and duct tape enthusiast.

To set the scene a bit more, Coke, Dick and I go to the same small university and Bud and Carrot-top go to another one nearby. At this point, he and Carrot-top are in that not-quite-in-a-relationship phase. They're both aware they like each other and have fooled around once or twice but are hesitating because they've been good friends for so long.

Dick and I are not in the same department (he is a Philosophy major, Classics minor and that should have been my first red flag right there) but we had met briefly a few times and had a mutual friend. Dick volunteered to split a hotel room with us at the con to make up for our mutual friend having to not go due to a family emergency. I agreed because Dick seemed alright. Little did I know.

>>7593189
It starts on the drive up (it's in the next state over). We all tack Carrot-top's shitty--and I mean shitty--van. Carrot-top is driving and Bud is sitting passenger side steadily working his way through a box of Bugles.

We chat and joke while Coke and Dick get to know Bud and Carrot-top. Dick provides us with a long list of labels that he likes to call himself. Poly-sexual is among them. He says that he only 'likes anime ironically' and is only going to the convention because he thinks it will be a 'unique learning experience about his fellow beings'. This is when I also learn that he a.) hasn't finished the cosplay he said he'd bring and b.) he's trying to make it entirely out of duct tape.

An hour into the ride I can already tell that Carrot-top and Dick are not going to like each other. Dick keeps calling him things like 'fire crotch' and 'day walker' and used the word 'ergonomic' wrong. Twice. He bitches when we stop for fast food because he's 'on a photonic diet'. None of us really know what that meant so he gave us this really long-winded sounding explanation that was basically a pretentious way to say he ate only raw fruits and vegetables. He goes on this long, bullshit rant about how plants have 'the purest energy' and I try to tune him out and focus on my tacos. He talks like…okay, so there's this infamously batshit etsy seller who sells things with items that are called shit like 'DORITOSLOCOS taco from Taco Bell MASTER LOCKED shut (Key Sold Separately for $5).' Dick talks like the item descriptions in his store. That's the best way I can describe it.

We finally arrive at the hotel and when we get out, I notice that holy shit Carrot-top is burnt to a crisp on his arm and part of his face because we were driving in the sun for so long and he apparently forgot sunscreen. This, of course, provides more fodder for Dick. Carrot-top just kind of takes it and seems to be glad to just be there finally.

>>7592952
Does bumping even work? Every time I check the front page nothing has moved.

>>7593204
We get settled in and do some exploring, buy a few things from the dealers room and just generally take it all in. At some point in time, Dick has separated himself from our group, but he has a room key so we aren't too worried. We go upstairs to freshen up before dinner to find Dick in there hanging out with four girls who are about 17-19 years of age, so a few years younger than us. With the exception of one, all of them seem pretty cool so we wind up agreeing to go to dinner as a group.

The girls are getting prettied up, Carrot-top and Bud are playing on their DS's and Dick is talking to anyone who will listen. Mostly, he's going on about vampirism and how it's more than just biting--"Although I do like to bite! hurrdurr"--and bloodsucking and how he wrote a report on it in a philosophy class. Something about feeding off energy and shit, I wasn't really paying attention. All the while, he was trying to pick up one of the girls in the group who repeatedly stated she was a lesbian. He gave her this long-winded talk about how sexuality is fluid and you shouldn't label yourself and it was wrong of her to close her mind off and yadda yadda. When he say that that clearly wasn't working, he turned his attention to the worst and oldest girl of the group who I will call 'Tits'.

She's one of those girls that repeatedly insists she's not like other girls. For the most part, she's right. She's not like other girls. She's infinitely worse. She does the whole 'Oh I'm into super kawaii pastel shit but also guns and gore and metal! Tee-hee everyone thinks I'm all sunshine and giggles, but I'm really super grimdark and hardcore!' thing that was popular at the time. Needless to say she a.) disliked Coke immediately because Coke is really pretty and b.) ate the vampire thing right up. Sensing this, Dick played that whole aspect up in hopes of getting laid. All in all, she was pretty easy to ignore unless she thought someone was getting more attention than her.

>>7593266
> Vampirism
...what?
>Attention whoring all over the place
Sounds like he's got some at - home issues.
> Tries to tell a girl that she's not, in fact, a lesbian.
Sexuality might be fluid, but that doesn't mean you run around telling people that they aren't whatever sexuality they want to be.

I'm really impressed by your patience and the patience your friends have.

Just one, was with an ex-gf

>go with some friends to a post-con party
>she was underage and had problems to get her into the place
>everybody fucking drunk and crap music
>gf too drunk and told me to get the fuck out to the hotel
>leave the drunkards and go to sleep
>she comes hours later demanding sex, I refuse because it was late and I wanted to rest
>she starts crying and says she's to blame
>ignore her and try to sleep
>she keeps saying she'd never leave me alone anymore in all the weekend
>next day she left to another room with other mates because she wanted to have dinner with them
>Doesn't ask me to come.

>>7593266
Dick and Tits spent most of dinner making snide comments to Carrot-top and Coke respectively and dominating the conversation. Tits was also pretty shitty to her other friends when she wasn't preening. I felt pretty bad for them so I was really nice to them the whole time. They were a little bit weeby, but really sweet and their insecurity meant they were desperate for Tits' approval.

Somehow in the conversation, it comes up that Bud is gay. Tits and her friends get really excited in that stereotypical "OMG UR A YAOI!? THAT'S SO KAWAII!" way so he was kind of the belle of the ball for a while. Bud gets kind of embarrassed because of all the attention and probing questions he's getting. Carrot-top teases him about it and they do that shoulder-shove thing guys do a few times. Only I knew how gay it truly was.

Dick just says 'That's very interesting'. He seemed more than interested. If only I foresaw dark storm clouds on the horizon.

The rest of the night passes quietly. We watch some movies, hang out and by the time the girls go back to their room, it's the wee hours, we start to get ready for bed. Dick is unusually quiet but I didn't question it and instead thanked God for small favors.

Bud goes to get high and Carrot-top joins him. Ostensibly so they can make kissy faces at each other. Part of the reason Bud smokes is because he's had bad insomnia for as long as I've known him and these weird lucid dreams that aren't quiet night terrors as well as. After experimenting around with different medication for years, weed and lifestyle choices has been the only thing that has consistently helped him. They return.

When we first got to the hotel room, we drew names to decide who would sleep where for each night. Dick insisted he had to have one of the beds all nights because of his bad back. It was the first time he'd mentioned it, but we let him have it.

>>7593314
>prepares popcorn
MORE.

>>7593266
So there I was, stuck in a bed with him. Carrot-Top was squished between us and Dick kept 'accidentally' touching his sunburn. Poor bastard. And surprise, surprise, he would NOT. STOP. TALKING. Despite the fact that everyone else was trying to go to sleep. Bud, because he was high and didn't know any better, was trying to be polite and listen. None of us slept much.

The second day dawned. Dick spent forever in the bathroom doing god knows what the hell. He was in the shower for ages and blasting shitty music on his iPhone. I hate Brighteyes now more than ever. He did not finish his duct tape cosplay and gave up completing it, but wore the parts that he had finished with his normal clothes. So basically, a sleeveless trench coat made of red duct tape.

We go to a few panels and Dick 'tags along' like his presence is some kind of gift to bestow upon us. He makes snide comments under his breath the whole time and plays on his phone. By the time we break for lunch, I notice an odd thing.

Despite not noticing him much in the first place, Dick is suddenly paying a lot of attention to Bud. And every time he speaks to him, he's half way between insulting him and hitting on him. Apparently, Bud has shit taste in everything but would almost be hot if he didn't have so much hair in his face (it's really curly and shaggy). Bud just kind of brushes it off because a.) he doesn't realize he's being 'negged' and b.) Bud has never really been the type to care much if someone is talking shit about him. Carrot-top notices too and he's not happy.

Thankfully, we meet up with Tits and except for occasionally being weirdly touchy and an awkward discussion about three-ways, Dick ignores Bud for a while.

The rave is that night. We pre-game a bit and go. Everyone is a little buzzed, but Dick is fucking trashed. I'm not even sure where he got all the booze because we didn't have that much. All I know is that half way through the night, he's sloppy drunk.

>friend decides to bring boyfriend to stay in hotel room with us.
>he's loud and obnoxious.
>apparently he paid but no one else but his gf saw that money. No one else got any money back and had to pay full price despite there being 4 people now instead of 3.
>there are two beds only and one is taken by my other friend who needs one to herself because she kicks hard when asleep.
>time for bed
>he listens to his music so loud that I can hear it. Can't go to sleep without it apparently.
>I can't sleep
>spend all three days getting no sleep

never doing that again.

>>7591432
>wigging out

good one

>>7593328
After dancing until about one or two, we decide to go back to the room, sober up a bit and get ready to go to Waffle House. Carrot-top, Bud and I make poffins together until Carrot-top feels good enough to drive. Dick has done exactly zero sobering up in that frame of time. We go to IHOP and it's much the same as it was last time. Tits is being a bitch to Coke and her friends and Dick is making sideways remarks to Carrot-top whenever he can. He is also coming on increasingly strong to Bud, who is too busy trying to make a sandwich with his waffles to notice. The drive back is when all hell breaks loose.

Tits insists on having the front seat because she 'gets carsick'. So Bud is in the back with us between Dick and Coke. I'm on the other side of Coke. The seating is important. For once Dick isn't talking.

All of a sudden, I hear Bud go 'Ow.'

'Dude, ow.'

'OW STOP'

I look over and Dick is biting the fuck out of his shoulder. Bud panics and is squirming because we're too crammed in to properly push Dick off. Tits turns around, sees and starts screaming her friends get freaked out, Carrot-top gets mad because he's trying to drive and the girls are losing their shit. So he pulls over and slams on breaks. Carrot-top and Dick start yelling at each other and it looks like punches are going to be thrown. Dick spends the rest of the con with Tits and her friends.

>>7593339
>Deranged faggot bites the guy's shoulder
What in the name of all fuck am I reading.

>>7593339
Did the bite actually bleed? Because that would awesome, hilarious and revolting in a whole new level.

>>7593357
That wouldn't be awesome. Imagine yourself in anon's position. The girls would be freaking out even more, your friend is now bleeding and angry as fuck, and 2 minutes later, Bud and Carrot - Top commence beating the shit out of psycho vampiric elitist faggot. 5 minutes later everyone suddenly realizes that the bite could get infected.

And shit just keeps on escalating from then on. It's revolting and mortifying.

a

>>7593365
Oh, be sure, I only say it's awesome and hilarious because it didn't happen to me. Though I'm sure everyone in anon's group would have gotten a tiny bit of satisfaction with a valid excuse to beat the freak up and kick him out right there. It would at least have allowed them one Dick-free night.

>>7593339
Please tell me that's not it. You can't leave us hanging like that.

>>7593425
I know! I'm like, IS THERE GOING TO BE MO???

>friend decides last minute to come with me to con
>says she will cover room
>can't complain
>get there, she read website wrong and had only booked for one person
>have to pay for self anyway
>she brought no food or bottled water for herself
>spends all of her money on candy immediately upon entering con
>spends entire con sugar high or crashing
>keeps getting bored and whiny because she doesn't like anime (?! why did you even come)
>leaves makeup clumps, trash, and chunks of a cheap wig everywhere in hotel room
>gets unidentified smears all over expensive costume pieces borrowed from me
>picks up minors throughout con
>keeps inviting them back to hotel room, takes all kinds of weird pictures with them
>guilts me into buying her dinner and dumb yaoi shit
>dissapears during rave
>panicking because she has no cell phone (this was years ago) and can't be found
>she calls my phone from a payphone
>ran off with dj and a bunch of the teens she befriended to get drunk in a different hotel
>drag her ass home
>end up back at my parents house the next morning nursing her combo hangover and some sort of diabetic blood sugar spike
She's done so much more crazy bullshit but this is the only con related. So glad I moved out of the area and no longer have to deal with her showing up at my parent's place at random.

>>7592262
We've been saying that for years, but hardly anyone ever does.

MOAR GODDAMN YOU

>>7593339
This can't be it, please continue!

Shit, shit SORRY guys another friend randomly dropped by and took me out for tacos and dancing because I got a new job. ANYWAY

>>7593357
He didn't really bite hard enough to break the skin like that, even though he bit pretty hard. There were parts where the skin was peeling and a dark purple. One or two parts were detailed enough that you could see the imprints of teeth and one bite in particular had reddish marks. Like blood vessels broken under the skin. Nothing too exciting, but still kind of shitty.

>>7593365
I honestly thought Carrot-top was going to hit him then and there. They actually got out of the car and were toe-to-toe at one point. It was kind of scary, to be honest.

Thankfully, it ended with all of us riding home in sullen silence.

>>7593374
I think the only person that genuinely liked Dick by the end of this trip was TIts and one of her friends who was hoping to get sloppy seconds. Everyone else seemed pretty well fed up with him. The lesbian girl and I actually ended up bonding over how awful he is and we're still friends today. That was the only good to come of this whole fiasco. That and Carrot-top and Bud finally became an item. Like I said, Dick spent the rest of the con time with Tits and her friends. I'm pretty sure he fucked her, but I can't say for certain.

>>7593425
>>7593482
There are a few isolated incidents after that. I could go more in depth with the car scene if you want since that's kind of rushed. But after that, he steered clear of us for the rest of the con. With the exception of him showing up to our hotel room and trying to tell us off on the last night. He will try to contact Bud from time to time, but hasn't in a while. Tits is into Jfashion now.

I still see Dick on campus from time to time, but that's about it. Coke had a class with him last semester and he ignored her completely. I think he's given up on going to cons. Thankfully, we're about to graduate so hopefully that's the last we'll see of him.

>>7589280
Once, when I was in middle school, I stayed with my family and some family friends at their cabin, and I clogged one of the two toilets in the house. While I was on my period.

So I'm Room stuffing this weeknd at A-kon
6-7 people in a room at a nice hotel
The problem is, i like to wake up early and go for a run, or use the workout center if available.
I only know 1 of the guys staying with us so should I just assume they wouldnt be cool with that? i mean i shower after every workout
I just dont wanna leave a bad impression

>>7594162
Just try not to make any noise as you're getting ready/coming in. Definitely check with the people in the room first, though. Courtesy and all that. Maybe grab a sleeping spot close to the bathroom too.

>>7593943
Moar deets

>>7593943
I'm so happy for Carrot-top and Bud!

>>7594162
I do this sometimes, and no one has ever had a problem. Just be quiet, have your things set out and ready to go in the morning so you don't have to rustle through your bags, and sleep closest to the door/bathroom.

>>7589789
Not gonna lie, when I was growing up poor as FUCK, I used to eat cereal with whatever liquid was available, whether milk, OJ, or water.

But cereal and soda? Pic fucking related.

>>7594658

>>7594658

The "cereal" wasn't actual cereal. It was consuite junk food. You know, cheesy poofs, M&Ms, Chex Mix, etc.

Bowl o' junk food mixed with soda. That is the abomination that is con cereal.

>"Cool." proceeds to stand there for 5 minutes while we uhhh watch the match.

At this point we're like okay, he's the only person with VIP ticket, maybe he wants to hang out with us, but he should have stopped bragging about it and asked to sit with us, or just sucked it up and enjoyed his awesome seats. But it got like hella weird. (contd)

>>7596372
I brought up the whole weekend; the bragging, weird staring, hovering, random yoga he'd start doing in the room, etc, to the friend who "recommended" him, who had to room with him at an upcoming thing, and he just responded "Shit. SHIT. I have to make two 10 hour drives with him next week...."
That was a disaster too apparently, but that's not my story to tell

>>7596375
Ask your friend if they're willing to tell the story?

>>7596375
He doesn't really go on /cgl/ but I could ask, he told me some of it; so I wouldn't want to repeat anything I'm not sure of.

>>7593339
This is just so amazing to me. Sometimes I wonder what kind of fucking asshole I would have grown up to be if I was exposed to crap like being a poly-amorous vampire.

Motorcycle anons, do you ride in your cosplays or do you change when you reach con? I'm considering riding in my anakin skywalker cosplay but I'm still a little jaded about its safety

>>7598861
Part of me really says DO IT!
Most of my cosplays wouldn't fit on my bike so no sadly I haven't.

I just end up with couples arguing during alcohol influenced parties. And there's always that 1 person whose"allergic to weed" and makes the ones who want to smoke pack themselves into a hot steamy ass bathroom.

>>7598892
I hate those people almost as much as the ones who complain about people who smoke weed at outdoor raves because "all the smoke gets in my face"

>>7593314

*internally screaming*

>>7592085
>You don't have spare socks, tights, ANYTHING that would match with your co-ord

>>7598897
But it does get in my face. Have some consideration for others, you don't have to smoke but I have to breathe.

Also, weed is for pussies.

>>7596440
Please do. It sounds like it would make for a most entertaining story.

>>7598892
>>7598897
I don't get why people hate those who simply do not want to be around it. You shouldn't feel entitled to go anywhere, public or private (if not in your own space, that is) and smoke to your heart's content with disregard to those who don't want to be near it's smell, sight, or anything of the sort. Like, sure, you want to enjoy yourself, and you think they're some prude pissbabies, but you're just being kind of inconsiderate. And to stay on topic, with both the thread and this response, I'll tell my story of convention hell on earth.
>Save a hotel room for a convention two years ago. Some plans fall through with friends, I need some emergency roommates to stay with myself and my girlfriend (we're a lesbian couple, this becomes important later.)
>Offer to pay half of the room cost due to the last minute nature of things, splitting the rest between three strangers.
>Three girls, all friends with one another, seemingly nice. Not too good at cosplay, one is a diehard ita, but they seem decent enough to only spend three nights with. And well, I needed the money to be covered.
>Convention day comes, first night is simple. I meet up with some old friends, go out to eat, come back to the room around midnight.
>They are upset, one girl's direct deposit from work "didn't come in." She's calling around, I assume her place of employment and the 24 hour costumer service line for her bank.
>Apparently they all depended to survive the weekend on this one girl's check. Odd, but alright.
>Since they have no money, I knew they didn't eat dinner. I went and bought some microwaveable dinners, granola bars, etc from the corner store just incase their money wasn't there in the morning.
>They complained that I bought generic brand foods. One was trying to lose weight, and said that it was inconsiderate that they had to eat processed food while I went out to dinner.
>Me and my girlfriend just go to bed, knowing that some people are just socially inept.

Maybe if it has suitable protection, which more than likely is not the case. Then again... nah. I'm not risking taking a spill on a highway with only my cosplay to protect my vitals.

Metrocon is only 30-40 minutes away (st.petefag) and I'm no squid so I can handle most things the interstate throws at me. If I was a squid however I'd be scared

I've got two biker buddies who have both taken nasty spills due to dumbass drivers (one was laid up for 6+ months because of his injuries), so I'm a little more wary than most when it comes to riding gear. But hey, it's your life.

>2am, still not properly sleeping because they were gossiping. Repeatedly called me and my girlfriend "the dykes," said that I wasn't understanding enough of their financial situation, still lingering on the processed food ordeal.
>4am, everyone is sleeping except for one of them. I roll over and she's watching porn on her phone. She's moaning and the covers are moving. I force myself to sleep, don't want to deal.
>Wake up to find our suitcases open, our personal food gone. At this point, me and my girlfriend are a bit suspicious. We get up and try to forget about it so we can enjoy the convention.
>Second night, we receive a text saying that they won't be back until the late hours of night, possibly morning. 2am after the rave, to be specific.
>My girlfriend and I have sex, because why not. We're stressed but in a good mood with one another and the social enigmas are gone for the night.
>9pm, they come storming in with their half assed rave attire. We are naked, obviously.
>Apologize so fucking much, feeling so bad. They leave shortly after, furious yet speechless. I don't blame them.
>Later that night, sleeping when they come in from the rave.
>Apologize again, go back to sleep.
>Wake up to hear one of them say that because she's a minor, she's considering filing a criminal complaint for us subjecting her to sexual imagery.
>They all said that they were 18+ when first met them. Getting kind of scared of these girls.
>On Saturday morning, find something on the floor. A bank receipt from the first day, stating that two thousand dollars were deposited. They had money the whole time.
>Plan to confront them about everything when they get back to the room. But for the day, out for some meetups and panels. Luckily, we never ran into them at the convention.
>Saturday evening, come back to the room to find them all smoking weed. Two of them are even sitting on the Angelic Pretty dresses we laid out to change into for that night.

Its outdoors pull your thong out of your ass and move out of the wind direction or walk away no crying fags needed

>>7599219
>I blow up at them, our rules in the roommate search thread stated, "no smoking or drinking in the room" due to the fact that we don't want to be around it, it can lead to potential room charges, and that the smell can linger on our brand and cosplays.
>I told them that due to breaking our rules, that they should end up paying more for the room.
>They responded with, "we payed for the marijuana, we get to do what we want with it."
>Threaten to call hotel security to get them removed from the room.
>One has a sob story about how she uses it to self medicate because her family hates her because she's genderqueer and miscarried her pregnancy two months ago, I fucking shit you not these were her exact words. This is the one who said that she's a minor.
>Too weirded out to call security, she's bawling now. However, they finally agree to putting their shit away, but the two girls are sticking up for this one obviously deranged girl.
>Begin to pack our bags so that we can leave as soon as possible in the morning.
>Wake up for check out and the girls are gone. All of their things are gone, no trace of the crazies anywhere.
>Go down to the desk to check out, room charge of $50.00, fifty fucking dollars. They apparently ordered a shit ton of room service.
>Pay for it. Go home. Worst weekend.
>The funds that they gave me for the hotel bounced, so I was out of even more money.
>Traced the check back to one of the girl's aunts who knew nothing about the convention or why her precious niece would forge a check.
>Found out all of them were lying about their names and their ages, and even where they were from. They deleted all social media accounts (that they had shared with us.)
>Too fucking scared and tired to press any legal charges. Put it to rest. Never again got roommates we didn't know personally.
tl;dr : never trust a fucking gaggle of weeaboos

>>7599168
But I do have a right to smoke wherever I want outside just like others have the right to walk away if they're that uptight about it

>>7599259
Yeah, I think once you're outside, smoking is fine because people can just walk away or the wind clears it. Obviously don't smoke by walkways, that's inconsiderate.
But smoking indoors is annoying and hard to get away from.

>>7599256
This is basically the same story posted here over and over. Someone thinks it's a good idea to room with strangers, doesn't confront them till the end, and get stuck with a horrible time.
At least you all learn your lesson.

>>7599272
I agree, it was a poor mistake. I ended up paying more than if I just paid for the room in full to begin with. I guess I've just watched so many stranger success stories with my friends that I made the dumb assumption that I would be as lucky.

I'm not a motorcycle anon YET, but...

It's my dream to cosplay Plugsuit Asuka on a Unit 02 motorcycle with her Rebuild interface helmet thing. For safety reasons I think the plugsuit should be leather (because I'm pretty sure latex would not protect against roadrash very well) but I don't know how doable that would be. Latex plugsuits are hard enough as it is. Plus I'd have to have dat helmet custom made since I know better than to use a flimsy plastic cosplay one.

>if I had a sugar daddy this is what I would want him to buy for me
>which is also why I'll be single forever

>>7599550
Never too late to learn anon. Personally, I've found that the boys on /o/ are extremely helpful on all things car and motorcycle related

>>7599588
I'm not adverse to learning how to ride, I just don't have access to one since Nobody i know as one or knows how to ride anything bigger than a dritbike.

>>7599254
I'm a smoke magnet, whenever my friends smoke outside the smoke just... moves toward me. I've had someone move around me four different times and the wind changed directions. The cloud once flowed over the top of a car to get in my face. It is maddening.

>>7599594
Go on Google and type in your area and motorcycle endorsement courses, I can guarantee there's one near you. They'll teach you how to ride, provide learning gear and a loaner bike plus you'll get your motorcycle license. And depending on the place you can find multiple discounts from motorcycle dealers and guys selling their secondhand bikes for a good deal

>>7599605
I'll try that, but maybe after I get some big medical bills knocked out. Thanks!

>>7599278
If nothing else your stories of horror reinforce my feelings of alienation and distrust of everyone.

>>7598767

They do. I am so sorry anon but I watched someone eat con cereal first hand in a video room, and it is the worst thing in the world.

Though it was kind of funny in a disgusting sort of way how they had like an entire radius of empty chairs between them and other people, since nobody wanted to subject their nasal passages to that shit.
