As someone who lives right outside Chicago, the areas around Midway and O'Hare couldn't be more different. I couldn't imagine a bunch of southern boys flying into Chicago expecting to stay near O'Hare where it's surrounded by hotels and nice restaurants and is genuinely suited for traveling businessmen, and ending up in Midway trying to find a cab and motel at 3 am (especially in the 80's).

Being right in the middle of the triangle of SF, Sacramento and Fresno. I can tell you that the "Corny Car Spin" on an I-80 or I-580 mega 5-6 lane highway is a pants shitting experience. You're also going downhill btw. And California roads in the rain are shit and nobody knows how to drive worth a shit in the rain...Amazing that he made it out unscathed. Great story.

Ahh, White Castle. A buddy and I stopped at one on 8 Mile Rd. in Warren, across the road from Detroit. We ordered $25 worth of food, but the cashier gave it to us for free, no explanation given. We are both still alive, and neither if us got sick that night, so it was all good.

I'm always amazed when someone tells a story and they recall the year precisely and they're correct about it as if it happened last week. I'm good for my birth year, September 11th, and everything else is "sometime back in the 80's, 90's, or 10 to 20 years ago maybe" etc.

[@bryansansone3301]

This made me remember a time when I was little. My parents and I would travel once or twice a year to places all over the country. During one stop at a hotel, they were mistakenly given a room that turned out to be occupied already. The man and woman who were fooling around on the bed weren't too happy for the interruption. I think we, and that couple, all wound up staying for free that night.

[@joshsimpson6856]

When they started talking about people contacting you and how they got them to leave them alone, I flashed back to a time when a bill collector was calling me at my moms house and she answered it then gave the phone to me, they asked for me by name, and I told them "You won't be able to speak to him because he recently died. They apologized, and I ever heard from them again.

[@johnasbury3856]

Imagine checking into your hotel and it is late you make your way to the room and as you round a corner after having drinks before and after the wrestling show and you see a sleep walking Beautiful Bobby being escorted to his room by a dazed underwear clad James E. Cornette and sleepy Dennis Condry and they look at you while you are gawking and yell no autographs at this time. MIND BLOWN.

I slept walked once and ended up in a random SeaTac parking lot peeing by a car. Naked. No idea how I got there. Where my clothes were. I ran from a crowd of men. I found my hotel and they gave me a damn washcloth to cover myself. I got in the elevator covering my lower region. The door opened and two guys got in. They stared and said ‘How’s your night going?!’ I said ‘great!’ And jumped out and ran down the hallway. Next day the desk guy said I walked out if the lobby completely naked. He tried to get my attention and I stared right through him and walked out the door. I asked him why he didn’t call the cops and he kindly said it was clear I was sleepwalking. He probably shoulda though since about five guys chased after me.
