LuckyMcSwervy 0 #1 September 18, 2008 OK, last Saturday night was my first DZ party. I get offered a place to crash with a guy I'd been talking too most of the night. I do a pig check with a couple of the girls at the party and this guy passes. So, this guy and I said there’d bee no molesting going on (I don't do drunken hook ups - I want to be able to show my face there again, you know?), but he offered me the bed and I was drunk enough to take it. I wrapped up in my comforter and tried to sleep. He goes out and sleeps on the couch. I awake about 6:30am to pee and puke (LOL) and go back to bed with one of the worst hangovers of my life. 20 minutes later I have this urge to get up and drive home to have this hangover in my own bed so no one would see/hear me sick, it would be quiet (this RV was right next to the loud Skyvan), because there was no way I would be jumping that day . As I was leaving, I kinda woke him up and said thanks so much for letting me crash there. I notice he’s sleeping with no pillow or blankets and I feel sooooooo bad that someone gave up their comfort so I could crash. I asked if he would be around this weekend and I think he said yes, or maybe, or probably – I’m not sure. So, I was raised to properly to properly thank someone for their hospitality but I do not know if there’s etiquette already in place for a sleepover at the DZ. So…….. what’s the deal? Beer? A bottle? Breakfast? Dinner?? Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiver30960 0 #2 September 18, 2008 Well, not peeing or puking in his bed was actually a really good start.After that, I'd say beer/alcohol is the universal gift within a one mile radius of any dropzone.

tigra 0 #4 September 18, 2008 "Pig Check" LOL ...............His "thanks" is that his friend's now think he got lucky Saturday night even if he didn't!

Actually, the RV belonged to a friend of his and it looked really clean already. That's still a good idea for the future - not that I plan to get trashed and stay in a guy's place again.

And this is why we have never had an open door policy. We've also been known to have "just say no" weekends and we don't let anyone crash with us for any reason. It is our home away from home. Sometimes we just want peace and quiet. But to the OP - your thank you and the fact that you appreciated the place to crash goes a long way. If it turns out that you do crash there often, then a "gift" - money, beer, whatever would be appreciated. It costs more to haul and maintain a camper than most people realize.Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes we just want peace and quiet. This is why, when upsizing my RV this year, I got one without too many extra beds. My old 19' hybrid had four beds in it. My new 26' (that I think is the same floorplan as your's) has two, and the spare bed is kind of inconvenient to put out. This way we can let someone crash whenever we want, but people are less likely to just assume the whole place is up for grabs. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

tigra 0 #15 September 18, 2008 I was being sarcastic. Sometimes we'll have a friend stay over and we really don't expect anything in return. I'd rather have a buddy spend the night on our couch than drive home drunk. I'm talking mainly about friends who would do the same or more for me. But I do hear you about the "just say no" weekends. Our trailer is also our home away from home so we really don't have an "open door" policy for overnight guests- and I have some "friends" who really do not understand that!

Me sleeping in my bed hasn't stopped several visitors from getting lucky. That is why there is a very short list of people that we let stay with us, well unless there is a blowjob involved.

RALFFERS 0 #24 September 19, 2008 Reading this thread reminded me of my 1st night in Hinckley, IL - & 1st time ever at a DZ for that matter. Needless to say things got way out of hand, and even though no one knew me at that time, I was treated extremely well! I will never forget the fun that was had that night nor the hospitality I was treated to.

Get that goggles picture up on your MySpace!! Actually, my dad has a camper that's just sitting in his backyard and today I tried to warm him up to the idea of putting it at the DZ and I would pay the rent & utilities. My strategy was, "Dad, you know how much I love to go to the DZ, and having the camper up there would really make it safer for me to stay up there all weekend instead of driving back and forth, especially when I've been drinking and then I wouldn't stay with a strange man in his RV. And think of all the money I would save in gas and tolls!" BTW - I only live 22.2 miles from the DZ. He actually said he'd "think about it". Woohoo!Always be kinder than you feel.
