I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this website. A girl e-mails me this link to a site called couchsurfing.org and explains it’s a site where you can find a strangers couch to sleep on while you are traveling. She told me she used to live with a roommate who decided to get into this hipster activity and had to move out after there was practically an unshowered filthy hipster nomad on their couch every night. So I’m about to click the link thinking this is just some little site promoting an unknown passing fad. Holy shit, when I saw the amount of douchebags on there my eyes almost fell out of my head. This is a world wide site with a couple million of mostly hipster scum sleeping on and offering couches. Of course, mostly everyone’s occupation is artist, musician, thinker, dreamer, film maker, assistant, wanderer.
Some of these peoples profiles list like 40 -50 testimonials of others that have slept on their couches giving great reviews of how nice they were and what great hosts they are. How the fuck can you let 40 different bed bug bitten, smelly bastard strangers into your home? Also, how do all these people have time to travel the world sleeping on couches all in the name of ‘meeting new people and spreading good vibes’? Don’t they have jobs? How do they support themselves? Now I know who those people are on the subways with those massive backpacks the size of Rhode Island and those vapid inbred looks on their faces that always bump into me and step on my feet. In Brooklyn, there or over a thousand couches being offered. I guarantee you they are all on one zipcode.
