Stop and smell the food poisoning… part 1.
“My best friend & I took a weekend trip to see a festival-type concert 4 hours away from home. We booked a cheap hotel room for that night. Since the show was an all-day thing, we didn’t want to drive back home late at night. At the show, there were a bunch of food trucks, but everything at them cost an arm & a leg because they know they have you by the balls since you can’t leave the show. Both of us are cheap @$$es, so we decided since we had a big breakfast before we hit the road & snacks in the car all the way there, we would be fine to wait & get cheaper food after the show. The show came to an end, so we went ahead on our adventure to find the hotel (we didn’t stop there first, just went straight to the show). Of course, the GPS tries to send us down roads that are blocked off for road work, so we’re both getting wicked hangry at this point, & we just want to eat & go to sleep,” tells iamnumber47.
“So we agree that the first food we see is where we’ll eat. Cue the Jack-in-the-Box, so we go through the drive-thru, get our food & finally find out the hotel. The next morning, I wake up to just about the worst alarm clock ever, the sound of my best friend demolishing the hotel bathroom. My first thought is, “oh s@#%, what’s going on?”. Then she emerges from the bathroom & we realize that we still have to head home in just a couple of hours. I’m hoping that it bypasses me so I will be okay to drive home. So we get all out stuff together & check out of the hotel. My head is pounding at this point, but my stomach is still hanging in there, so I decided maybe I just need some caffeine (total caffeine addict, unfortunately), so we go through a Starbucks & I get a black iced tea since I thought maybe a coffee would be a little harsh in case I did get sick.”
