don't ignore hostel curfews!

[Diorama]

yes you know them. Those pesky curfews that curb your fun. "must be back before 12pm or doors will me locked" pssst....uh 12pm year right I'm on vacation. I won't be back until 12 NOON. Your doors won't "actually" be locked. Your just saying that.....

well They do lock the doors! I was in Oban, Scotland and a bunch of us from the hostel went out to the local pub. We were talking to the locals and hung out with them the whole night. I was talking with this one guy and he asked if I had been to the castle which is located on a hill above the town. I hadn't since I arrived later in the day. Well he offered to take me up to it and show me it. I was like great a personal tour guide (yes i was drunk as well). But I remembered the curfew. This local said "what curfew??" , "they never actually lock the doors" Oh how I trusted him. We walked up to the castle and hung out there. Looked at my watch and realized I should get to bed. yup guess what. hostel doors were Locked and all the lights were out. it was 1 or 2 in the morning. I got pissed off and turned to this guy and said "you got me in this mess, your staying with me!" For the next 3 hours we walked around town and tried to find somewhere to sleep. Park benches, public washrooms, random alleys. This guy worked at the local hotel and thought that we could sleep in there. But guess what the night porter was sound asleep. grrrrrrr....bastard.
SO anyways at about 5:00 this guy (call him henry) saw a car driving by and grabbed me and we hid behind a pole. I didn't know what was going on. Thought it was the cops. Turned out it was henry's father looking for him. Henry ran away and literally left me standing on a street corner at 5:00 in the morning. Never saw him again. bastard. I turned around went to the phone booth and sat there in misery til my hostel opened at 6:30. Don't let this happen to you!!!!
