Do you guys think its alright to share a hotel room with a total stranger you meet from SDN? If so or not, how would you guys go about doing it safely?
 
I would not. I'd rather work the street corner for $100 more for my own room than sleep in the same room as someone from SDN.


SDN is full of weirdos.

just make sure you put a sign on your head that says "please dont rape me" before you go to sleep and you should be good.
 
Yes, it can be done safely.

SDN = full of gunners. Gunners will burn your suit while you sleep.
 
It's only weird if you share a bed...then again there is always the "head to toe" option!

Some anatomical parts will still be aligned.

Butts to nuts, sirs.

Srsly tho, I wouldn't worry about it much. Most people who go looking for a room to share, especially for a professional situation, are just broke, not psychopaths. Even if they end up being a bit odd, it's not like you're signing a blind lease or anything, it's one night. But I've had great luck in the past rooming with people I met on forums for cons and the like, so I may be biased by that.

I like my own space. If i want to go to bed and the other person sleeps with the TV on, the next day is ruined for me. If I want to shower without feeling like someone is going through my stuff, I can. Everyone is different and there is no reason to set the next day up wrong because it is so important.

+1 Agree with this. I have no interest in sharing a room to save a few bucks just to end up regretting it greatly... or dead.
