There are good ideas, and then there are bed ideas.
Two San Diego State University fraternity brothers were caught Monday attempting to swipe bedsheets from a Best Western hotel for a toga party, ABC10 in San Diego reported. The students originally came to the hotel under the guise of charity, requesting that the Best Western donate sheets for a fundraiser for the homeless. Despite being turned away by staff, they were reported later to have entered the hotel’s laundry room, at which point they were caught by housekeepers — and locked away inside, in a prison only of their own embarrassment.
“They were, like, so paranoid, and they were scared and they were just saying sorry to the housekeepers because they stole the sheets,” Jennifer Villa, the Best Western’s hotel front desk staffer, said. “So I guess it was just a dare they had to do.”
Police apparently didn’t chalk it up to much more than that, either. Although the brothers were handcuffed, they weren’t arrested, and the hotel didn’t press charges.
The fraternity, the campus’ Phi Kappa Psi chapter, had no comment but to inform the news station that the party was canceled.
Maybe next time they should just turn to Bluto for the party planning.
