NWR: wackiest thing you've ever done during an airport layover

The 'where have we been' thread that I started got me thinking. . .let's play this game!

What's the wackiest thing you've ever done during an airport layover?

I have two stories, both of which coincidentally were done during two separate trips I made to Portland, OR:

1. Salt Lake City: had a 3 hour layover, so I decided that I wanted to see the city in 60 minutes or less. I flagged down a cab driver who more than obliged my desire to see the city. If you've seen that episode of South Park where they talk about John Smith, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say that I heard 'dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb duuuuuumb' ringing throughout my head during my mini SLC tour.

2. Chicago/O'Hare: layovers here are as inevitable as delays. During a layover that turned into an extended delay, I decided to get a burger and a beer at an airport pub. Well, two 40-somethings from Oklahoma were delayed as well, and I started talking to them. Let's just say that two hours and several tequila shots later, we made our flights.

Tell your stories here!!!

I'm not very creative on my layovers. Mostly I'm afraid to leave the airport so i just sit, eat, or sleep

Ive gotten drunk! LOL

we have an isane layover in Kingston JA the crazy thing the layover was crazy long and we only had to go another 30min to Montego Bay!

anyway there was this bar in the airport that served those crazy drinks ( the kind served in those long tubes glasses) well my aunt and I had 2 pina colada's with Jamaican Rum and were twisted lol somehow we managed to stumble to our gate.

I don't think I've ever done anything interesting either but I have a good story. . .

My friend I work with started talking to some guy during a layover and first she kept brushing him off but finally started talking and NOW THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED and she's moving to jamaica where he is from!

Me, too. I'm too afraid that I wouldn't make it back in time and would miss my flight.

I was the first person to ride in a limo in Bucharest after the Romanian revolution!
I had a 12 hour layover....and my seatmate was flying over this old beater 70's limo....so I went with him, ate at his house with his family, and went for a ride.
It broke down!
Not sure I will ever beat that!
