I'm extremely doubtful that charge would have held up. Is this something you heard from someone or was it a news article?

Couldn't get comfortable in my cutlass supreme. Couldn't stretch out in the front or back seat. So decided to fold the back seat down so i could extend my legs into the trunk. Well the seat didn't fold down on this car so i got out my tools and cut a big hole in the back seat.
I don't know if that's the craziest but I'm pretty sure I'm crazy for doing it. I got many good nights sleep though.::woot::

So there is more interesting places that I have slept in and would like to update this list.
In Austin, TX there are many buildings built directly on the river banks, if you look closely while walking the river trails you can find little areas underneath the buildings. Mine was a tunnel space just big enough to stretch out in and have space for gear. I lived there for months and decorated the inside of it. I always felt entertained by watching the joggers go a long the trail, distant to the fact that they were guest on a personal joke, tv show that I watched. The small business across the river knew I was there and started offering to let me stash my bicycle under their stairs, bless them. Eventually I felt so at home that I got caught coming in mid afternoon and relocated.
While hitch hiking in Louisianna I found myself at LSU campus in Baton Rouge. I ended up sleeping on campus in the summer and loved it. Many nights I would sleep in the outdoor auditorium under a massive oak canopy draped in spanish moss. College campuses produce so much excess waste that I was able to find a full LSU wardrobe and enough food to keep myself fed daily.
On the short term, thanks to a tip from Tatanka, I did try out sleeping in those Lowes/Home Depot parking lot sheds and I think they are spectacular. If it is cold outside, I highly suggest this as backup and be kind enough to clean up any trash when you leave.

Philadelphia gets cold as shit some winters and last year Ill never forget this one day it hit -4 F so I had to tuck inside the wal-mart dressing room....they caught me and I just moved down a few lanes and set up a makeshift bed out of pillows and made a little fort kind of from the home décor area to finish my slumber hahaha...that was a little nuts that night because my goose-down sleeping bag couldn't even keep me good enough to sleep outside so I had to duck in there for the night....

Human development aka Developmental Psychology.
There are such professions as Gynecology if your heart is set. Although that may involve starring at a lot of blue waffles.
IDK I've spent the night in some crazy vaginas ... But yeah sorry I will try to stay on topic.

Spent the night in a 2 1/2 ton military truck on a train down south.Wasnt the most luxurious ride but def. slept in worse spots.
I worked at a small mountain town fairground for the summer, usually I just slept in the truck until the fuel pump went out and it was $250 for the part, I was afraid of the truck getting towed where it was parked, especially if I was sleeping in it so I got creative. My first spot was in a horse barn, I just strung a hammock between two of the stall walls and crashed for a couple of nights. The barn was well ventilated and empty so it didn't smell as badly as you might expect.
The problem was that the barn was too well ventilated and on the third night the temps got down in the twenties. So I got creative again.
I found a janitors closet that opened to the outside and was left unlocked all of the time but you could lock it from the inside, which I did and I'm glad I did. I slept there for about a week then on the seventh night someone tried to shake the door off the hinges trying to get in at around three am. I can't be sure who it was but I can't imagine that it was anyone but the cops. I hit up a group of trees on the 10th hole of the local golf course after that for a few nights until I got the money for the pump. I froze my ass off on the golf course and actually missed sleeping in the closet bc it had two hot water heaters that kept the temps around 60 at night. It just wasn't worth the risk of getting caught after I realized that someone was occasionally checking it. Luckily, the closet was well ventilated as well, carbon monoxide! I don't recommend that but sometimes options are limited and you have to do what you can to get by.

Slept in some guys camper in the middle of nowhere in New York. It was unlocked and I could tel it hadn't been used in a long time. I heard the guy messing around outside in the morning but he didn't come to the camper. When I heard him outside I laid there assuming I was about to get shot or at least cops called but that didn't happen thankfully.

Okay, so check this out! I was in the mountain town of Dallat, Vietnam. I spent the first couple nights there in an hostel HIGHLY recommended by my friends (mr. Peace hostel. I really recommend it too!) But time came for me to go back to the bum life. I had plans of biking to a waterfall the next day, so I took my bike and biked around looking for a place to crash. Found a cool abandoned house. Perfect! I turn around and go back to the hostel to party a bit with my hostel friends until I get tired. Around 11 I decide to go to sleep: big day tomorrow! I get to the house barefoot, walk in, lay down my sleeping pad and sleeping bag and go to sleep.
Slept like a baby!!... Until I woke up. I couldn't see in the dark, but the room was fucking FULL of used syringes and empty ketamine vials. WHAT THE FUCK!! I put some shoes on first fucking thing, then look around my sleeping bag and where I walked last night... Nothing dangerously placed. Thank fuck! Packed my shit asap and left.
Needles to say (pun intended
) I didnt sleep there ever again

Unfortunately I'm not as crazy as you lot! Craziest places I've ever slept is in airports and outside train stations with a sleeping bag and a piece of cardboard.
During my college years I had a weird habit of black-out / pass-out on random peoples porches or stoops. More then once I have been woken from my slumber by an angry home owner asking me why I have decided to find refuge in their planter box...
that progressed (along with the drinking..) into me finding random half built constructions sites and a new nest to settle into. Once me and some buddies had been drinkin' quite a bit and hiked up 35 floors in a being built high-rise in Chicago. Pretty confused when I first woke up that morning.. Same with the time I went downtown madison, drinkin' and woke up 9 floors in the sky, chillin'.
I passed out once on a old couch in the woods behind my house (not sure why or how) and woke up to about an inch of snow on top of me. I swear I had hypothermia from that...
countless bushes, yards & sheds... & yeah thats why I hardly drink anymore.. and yeah these don't have nothin' to do with traveling.. lol my bad.

Not really crazy compared to inside home depot, but did stay in a big ol abandoned railroad tunnel above Manitou springs, plenty of those sheds, behind this tinyknoll behind dollar general, squats in nola were pretty gnarly too. Hmmm. A laundrommat in small town ohio. The owners showed up around 2 am, woke us up and ended up telling us about another spot to sleep on the same street, plus $10!
When I remember more good ones I'll post em. Awesome thread.

awesome stories!
once rambling in Italy round Etna till late we stumbled across this house https://tranio.com/italy/adt/1649499/ and we thought we might ask to stay in for the night, but when we came closer we were sure it was something abandoned. and it really was! it's just so crazy inside, with rooms of different sizes and forms, almost like a maze. and the view from the terrace is stunning!! we didn't dare to stay longer and went away the following morning and later I found out this is a villa for sale! and the price is rather reasonable. i love looking at its pictures and dream of living here, but it's still a long way to go for me ::grumpy::

The sewers and storm drains under downtown East end Toronto can be quite hospitable in the dry months, I even hosted a raucous party in an underground storm water holding tank with nearly 100 subterranean subculturalists in attendance.
