Hostel Bitch...

Yes, I spelled that correctly. Not hostile. Hostel. As in, I finally flipped out on one of these bitches at my Milan hostel last night.

First, allow me to present a foreword to put this post in context:

Women backpacking around Europe are rarely any different than women at any other point in their existence. They are just as self absorbed and vein as ever, just with luggage. Now, in fairness, there are always going to be exceptions to this rule. However, generally, they act as if they are in the privacy of their own homes, stomping about like elephants, taking hours in the bathroom doing their makeup, and coming in drunk and loud at 3 am, wanting to talk to their friends about the night they just spent. Problem is, they do all of this in a room with 6 to 10 other sleeping people...

Now, back to Milan.

This bitch. This bitch comes in at 3 am, and decides a druken beauty regimen is in order. Then she proceeds to talk to her friend, who is half passed out, while she riffles thorough her pack in the dark, looking for her cute pajamas, and her moisturizer, and her toothbrush, and perhaps even the lost city of Atlantis, while the rest of the room tries to sleep. And through no real fault of hers, I am tired of this shit. I am tired of these people who should have sprung for the private room because they have no idea how to respect other people.

So I sit up, and I stare at her. And she looks at me, and has the nerve to ask me what I am staring at. Needless to say, I felt compelled to remind her that while her cow ass stomps around the room, others are trying to sleep, and if she is going to insist upon being the center of attention at 3 am, I am going to treat her as such, and stare at her until she goes to bed. Because God knows, I'm not going to be sleeping. So, she tells me that I am the one causing the scene, and I should have gotten a private room. For the sake of any minors reading this post, I will refrain from telling you what happens next... What I will say is there is a moral to this story. Disrupt sleeping roommates at a hostel in Italy from here to November 9, and be willing to face the wrath of the Hostel Bitch. ;-)
