Crazy. What a read.
A megalomaniac pathological liar hotel owner with a loose grip on reality, could never happen in America.
kinda seems like he could have stayed there forever if he didn’t keep pushing for ownership etc. It’s telling that everyone who recounted meeting them recalls them as being strange and off-putting.
I just got your joke 😅 I was so focused on the hotel room guy.
