Travel Nightmare: Waking Up Wet and Facing a Strange Naked Man in a Hotel Room

I admit that I might have been someone's travel nightmare. But in my defense, I was pushed to it.

For the Bay Area's largest anime convention Fanime one year, I booked a hotel room for myself and three acquaintances I met during the previous year's Fanime. The hotel room I received was actually large enough for all of us. Well, theoretically it would have been large enough to hold all of us had we kept to the original four. And that's when the nightmare began pushing me.

Each of the three acquaintances decided to invite one or two more people into the room to crash. The crashers in turn tried to bring more people into the room. I attempted crowd control but was overruled by the three. Though I attend overcrowded conventions, overcrowded personal space has always been an annoyance to me. And I did not want to bear the responsibility should anything happen to the room or anyone. This was just a nightmare.

Unable to sleep due to someone's snoring, I decided to shower at 3:00am. I carefully dodged the bodies on the floor until I reached the bathroom. I undressed and was about to step into the bathtub when I noticed a guy I never met sleeping inside it. Not caring any more, I started the shower. The rude awakening of cold water combined with seeing my fully naked self drove him out of the hotel room wet and screaming.
