1996. Vegas. A group of us were there for MinExpo. We were all in our late 20s to early 30s. We were responsible for getting a loader assembled for the Expo and were out there for about a month. One of the guys, a real-life prototypical aggy, had a birhtday while we were out there. He weighed about 150 pounds soaking wet and was totally out of his element being around the equipment since he was fresh out of business school. This was also a time when not everyone had a cell phone.
A buddy and I decide to take him to a club to celebrate his birthday. The guy gets liquored up and starts to talk trash to everyone around him about their life choices and job opportunities since they did not attend that fine institution in College Station. My other buddy (UT-Arlington grad) starts to get nervous that someone will take exception to the aggy's comments and some trouble might ensue. So we usher the guy out and drive him back to the hotel and safely get him to his room.
The next morning we all go to breakfast less the aggy. No worries as we suspect that he is sleeping it off. After breakfast another co-worker goes back to his room and there is a message on his hotel room phone. This guy calls us all to come to his room to listen to the message. The aggy had left a message on the phone while we were at breakfast.
After we had dropped him off at his room the previous night he got the keys to the other rental car and went back out on his own only to get into a single vehicle fender bender where he had hopped a curb and blew out a tire. He got arrested for DWI and was in the Clark County Jail. I only wish that we could have saved the hotel room message. He was all whiney and crying and pleading for our help to bail him out of jail as he did not want to call anyone else. We pooled our funds together for him to post bail. Needless to say that he was on a short leash after that and eventually left the company.
