My weekday living quarters is an apartment. I am on the bottom floor of a three story apartment complex. It isn't the MOST expensive apartment you could find in Houston, but it isn't a hole either. It's respectable, clean, has nice facilities, and I don't think anyone has been murdered here.
My upstairs neighbors, however, never sleep. I'm sure of it. I hear them at 6am, 3 in the afternoon, and WAY more often than I'd like to at 2 or 3 in the wee hours of the morning. I think they have a love-hate relationship. I hear them fighting. A LOT. But I also hear a squeaky-squeaky noise that makes me think they are getting along quite well, and gives me nightmares all at the same time.
Many nights, however, I can only speculate what they are doing, the noises are too weird.
Here are my neighbor's top ten things they seem to like to do from the noises I hear at 2am.
10. Play Twister with small elephants
9. Invite the entire Boston Marathon participats to practice running in their megar 800 square feet.
8. Have a seance to extract the evil spirits out of their spaghetti-o's.
7. Cook vegetables in the shower
6. Do the entire Richard Simmons workout tape from start to finish. With roller skates on.
5. Try their hand at bowling using a frozen cornish game hen and 10 glass beer bottles.
4. Have a Jewish wedding ceremony.
3. Watch Titanic over and over until they sob uncontrollably.
2. Practice to play opposite Paris Hilton in the next controversial Paris Hilton video.
The number one thing?
Screaming at the top of their lungs
I think I'm just reliving my college years. When I was in college I lived in some pretty crappy places because they were cheap. I've stayed in a few hotels that were not so nice because my company's travel department didn't know what they were doing, too.
Now, the poll question: What is the worst place you have ever had to live or stay?

I stayed all alone at the Westward Ho in Las Vegas. I was at ground level and so my door opened straight outside. It was VERY dark and scary walking to my room at night.
When I got back home, I heard stories of a couple who stayed at the Westward Ho and there was a nest of mice living in the boxspring.......I would have LOST it!
Last year, we were in Galveston for the first annual motorcycle rally they have down there. A BLAST...
Carol...I bet you know where I am talking about, the horse shoe shaped big OLD hotel? Has a big round glass bar on the second floor right? Right on the seawall. I think it's called the Seahorse in or something like that.
Well anyway, there was a really good band playing in that bar. And we stayed and...well, we partied pretty darn hard. So, I went down at 2am when the bar thru us all out and they had rooms, YIPEE and thank GOD. I got one, and three of our other pals also got one.
Off to the room.
I have never in my life seen such a horrible hotel room. I slept on top of the blanket, in my clothes, in my boots and in my jacket. I didn't want any part of me touching any part of that room.
I didn't even pee there, I made MilkMan get his butt out of the bed PRONTO and get me to Denny's so I could pee.
Whewwww...that was one hell of a ride home Sunday morning, sleeping like that for a few hours on top of a hangover. Rest assured, that Monday, we started acting our age again...till the next party.. ;-)
Best place has to be the bed and breakfasts we've stayed in out in Fredricksburg, I love that town and area....
I DO! I do know what hotel you are talking about Milkmaid! And my guess is if you were THAT drunk and you still could tell the place was skanky, it must be REALLY bad! Gavlveston is a fun place, but you definitely have to be careful where you stay. I've stayed in a couple of places down there that I was worried the roaches would carry me off and use me as a sacrifice.
I love Fredericksburg! I was just there between Christmas and New Years. We stayed in Wimberly, which is a REALLY COOL town about an hour from there and took a day to go to Fredericksburg. I love the hill country.
