I once considered moving from Seattoe to Bremerton, WA to take advantage of the much cheaper real estate. In attempt to get a feel for the daily commute, I decided to stay at a Super 8 in Bremerton for a week. 5 minutes into that experiment, I flicked on the AC unit that looks just like this one and it reeked of cat pee.

I did not move to Bremerton.

In that Super 8s probably rarely see cats who enjoy urinating on electrical equipment (although I'm sure that's happened nonzero number of times), it's probably a ton of condensed meth. When it's in secondhand form, exhaled or wasted, it's hydroscopic and instantly mixes with the room humidity, which is then processed by the A/C coils, where it accumulates.

Possibly the room was actually used to manufacture meth. I mean, I used to manage REO properties on Bremerton, and I definitely cleaned up the remains of a few meth labs.

But maybe Mr Fluffy did go to urinetown on it, who knows. Bremerton.

It was Bremerton, it was most likely meth.

You just vastly improved a family story that we've told numerous times over the years. Thank you for sharing your meth-related knowledge.

Also, I think this hotel was across the street from a house that exploded the previous year, so yeah. Bremerton.

You judge a city by their Super 8?

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

You know from staying in multiple super 8s, this would be a pretty accurate way to gauge a town

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That's like judging a city based on its Arby's.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I could fuck up some Arby's right now. Never in my life have I wanted to be at a super 8.
