When I was single I went to a camping overnight with a bunch of club members. It was my first time and it poured rain, blew the tents away, and ended up sleeping in the car.

My husband and I went to see the King Tut exhibition in New Orleans years ago and the aunt we were suppose to stay with got sick and having no money for a hotel, we slept in the car parked near the exhibit.

In a little box that had teddy bears on the outside of it...the box was inside of my closet...I was 6. My parents thought I had run away or been kidnapped, until they came in and saw me in the closet!:D

When I was 17 I went to New Orleans. I was so lost and had been with out sleep for the two day drive down there. It was my first time to really drive more than a couple of miles away from my house. I was very broke so I dumped my cloths out in the back seat and slept under them so that no one would see that I was there. I was afraid of potential murders. At about three in the morning a couple of drunks passed by and my hand was sticking out of the cloths and there was a big discussion going on outside of the car as to weather or not there was a baby in that laundry. I held real still and they decided it was a baby doll and went on. Scared me to death!

Interesting to be confused for a baby when you're 17.

I slept on a friend's roof once.

In a garage. I've also slept on a bay, a boat, on top of sacks of cement, a ceiling and a cellar.

On top of a car
Park bench
Bush
Front step
Inside a garage during a snowstorm

I was at my daddy's store, and I was stock girl. I was climbing on this stack of 12 packs, (it was around 11:30) and i guess i just dosed off.

I slept in the same bed with a stripper once. It was a greasy hotel with two double beds. I went on a road trip with two other friends (well, I was kind of the spare in that group actually) and one of them brought her friend, the stripper. I could never strip. Ever. I can't even remember her name. All I know is that she was a stripper and I guess I am making such a big deal about it because I just couldn't do it.

I was small, very under weight - and they were drunk and it was just my hand

Last day of finals, my senior year, drank a bottle of Jack Daniels and fell asleep on the lawn in front of the administration building.

Got really drunk on a campling trip to the Kern river and fell asleep, naked, in the campground of the family next to us. I woke up and they were cooking breakfast like I wasn't there. Oh yea, I was lying in a pool of orange vomit from vodka and cheeze whiz.

In 1971 at a church campground that was being constructed the group I was associated dug out foundations in the ground and constructed a makeshift frame for a canvas tent and we slept the weekend there. We made four of these--took an entire day then following day did some more prep work. My compadres were amazed I kept up the physical end of it--was quite skinny back then and was never known for muscles. Later in the year permanent cabins would be built.

I used to sleep on the storage racks at work. They were these 5 foot long wire mesh racks. I used to lay down and use a bag or two of hushpuppy mix as a pillow.

Ok Kilt..i can't resist the temptation..after drinking, the strangest place should be "In extremely ugly lady's arms"..so you either don't tell us the whole truth or the places you have slept aren't that bad after all ;)

I used to sleep on the third floor's couch at school when I had a break of two hours between my classes. I guess I did that a bit too often, 'cause I once woke up to hear some 7th grade boys saying "Look at that, is she always here sleeping?" :blush: :lol:

Once had to stay in a hotel room with two other guys, and with only two beds, I opted to sleep on the coffee table. Had to shanghai one of their bed covers before I could sleep comfortably.

I didn't say I was upset because I couldn't strip.

I just don't see how anyone could. but people do it and I happened to be in the presence of someone who didn't have any hang-ups about it.

Heh. For me it was in my cousin's house roof about a year ago. Not because it was so high (I actually enjoyed the height and the views it was offering me. Before trying to sleep, I kept on looking at the sceneries below.) But because there were other people with me I didn't know much. They were all nice and friendly, but still it was a kind of strange for me... I couldn't get much sleep all those nights...

Ah-I remember mine now. At summer camp a couple friend sand I snuck off at night because we were restless. We fell asleep talking on the tennis courts, and it rained but we still slept there...the open sky just happened to be so beautiful.

Not so strange, I suppose, but lovely, in the back of a pick-up truck near Cherry lake just outside of Yosemite in California, after a day of trout fishing.

Also, in the rear seat of a stretch limo on the way to the airport after an exhausting but wonderful long weekend in New York City with my book club, with my mouth hanging wide open, snoring, and maybe a little drool. Ye ghads! They have pictures. I hate them.

Nah, the formula from a previous thread prevents that from happening.

I hesitate to post this for fear of being judged and for some mild adult content... Mods: feel free to delete this post if found to be too risqué.

I was 19 or 20 at the time and had gone on a few dates with a very nice older guy (mid 30s), when he invited me to his home for dinner and to spend the night. Dinner went very well and we were getting along swimmingly so I made the decision that I WOULD spend the night. We chatted well into the evening after watching a movie together.

Well, eventually the time came that we were off to bed...... we were kissing & snuggling (nothing heavy, no actual sex had occurred) when the sound of a car in the driveway sent him into a panic!

"OH, MY GOD! What is she doing here? She's not supposed to be home for another two days!..... It's my WIFE...... HIDE!!"
"YOUR WHAT!?!? I specifically asked and you said that you were NOT married!!"
"I lied. Now hide or I'm a dead man."
"Hide WHERE?! In the closet? That's way too cliché!"
"Not the closet, she'll go in there.... get under the bed!"

Looking back I blame it on being young and stupid..... I got under the bed.

The wife came in and "woke up" the lying bastard.... then much to my horror got undressed and got directly into bed..... didn't go to the bathroom first.... didn't get a drink of water from the kitchen..... didn't give me a chance to escape. I spent the whole night under that bed.... occasionally dozing off, but most of the time SEETHING with anger. Anger at being lied to, anger at being put into this position, anger at myself for not having the guts to just walk out and make a scene when the wife first got home (would have served him right).

The next morning after the wife went to work, I committed the first and only intentional act of violence of my life. I got out from under the bed; stretched my by now very sore muscles, and punched that man in the nose. Walked out without a word and never looked back.

Never before or since have I ever felt so dirty and ashamed.

It may be wishful thinking; but I believe that I did break his nose! I suppose I should feel bad about that, but I don't.

I was passing through Idaho late one summer and got woken up in a sleeping bag by the police in the middle of the night. They said, "Are you here for the jump?" I said, "What jump?" -- it was the Evil-Knievel's rocket jump across the Snake River.

I lived on the streets for a few years so I have slept in some odd places, but the one that jumps to mind at the moment is one night, caught in a spring storm on the coast of Devon, I crawled under an overturned dory and slept on the rather uncomfortable rocks that constituted the "beach." Afterwards, I tried to slip into barns after dark. Straw is far more comfortable.

I fell asleep on a Greyhound bus going to New Orleans. Not strange in as of itself, but when I woke up a total stranger was looking at me! I'd slept through a pickup point where more passengers had gotten on, and there weren't many seats left so some fellow had parked right next to me. Creepy feeling waking up next to someone you don't know!

On our gold d of e practice it got so wet that we abandoned the tents and set up camp in the campsite toilets. But the light didn't turn off all night so we went back to our tents about midnight, leaving our bags in to keep dry. We had to leave at 5 the next morning, and we woke up to find that the toilet door had been locked and we couldn't get our stuff.
