proposing the host-soul test

I propose a new test, to run along side the 'did that person torture small animals as a child' question when potential serial killers are looked at?

What do you do when you enter a hostel room at 2 a.m. with the lights out and people are sleeping? (And I don't care what state of sobriety you are in)

Normal person: Tip-toe in as quietly as possible, making as little noise as you can, to try not to awake or disrupt fellow travellers.

Compassionless could-be serial killers: Turn lights on, complain that it stinks in the room and turn on the A/C, walk around in high-heel shoes and start packing. (Extra Ted Bundy points if the person has the audacity to bitch that others could be annoyed by their actions.)

(Note: I write because this happened last night.)

I believe this test would be just as helpful as any other in targetting pyschopaths because it demonstrates a person's complete lack of thought for others.

I feel better.

At a hostel in Rome I awoke from a shitfaced stupor at 5am to find an old man in his 60's peeling hard boiled eggs and clearing his throat excessively loud.

Stuart told the old man, "IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP I'M GONNA KICK YOUR FUCKIN HEAD IN."

The old man replies "maybe you shouldn't go to bed so late."

As Stuart (6'4" 200 lbs) started getting out of bed from an equally shitfaced stupor the old Italian man says "OK OK, I get it."

Such is the world in which we live.

mark's last night in venice beach he woke up to a drunkin english guy snoring insanely loud.. one of the dude's friends who was also in the room chucked something at him to try and make him stop.

the guy woke up, sat up on his bed, then stood up.. he walked into the middle of the room.. pulled down his boxers revealing his everything.. and began scowering the room butt naked. his first victim was mark. he walked up to mark's bed and began to sit down.. in the pillow region; the brown kiss of death. mark sat up and screamed, 'FUCK OFF!'.. the guy stood up, startled but still not awake, and proceeded to try and get into each person's bed, of the 10 bedded room, like a zombie, getting turned down and even pushed out of every single bed.

defeated, he finally returned to his bed where he lied down and immediately continued to snore.

not sure if that fits anywhere in your "host-soul" test, but some people should really avoid sleeping in rooms with other innocent bystanders.
