This son's TIFU is one for the books. He managed to convince his dad to give AirBnB a shot, instead of just taking the normal hotel route, while on their journey to check out purchasing a new truck. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario pretty much presented itself when they showed up the neighboring house was in the middle of a massive narcotics bust. Yikes.

Twitter user @ashleyfryer, shared the gritty details of her sketch Airbnb experience. It sounds like we've got a real-life house of horrors on our hands! Definitely has all the makings of a nice modern horror story. And the setting will just be different Airbnbs. 

These kids found ways to get a cash flow going while they were busy struggling through those soul-grinding obligations like showing up for class (every now and again). We wonder how things turned out for them. There's something to be said for the ingenuity of a busy student able to make and run a black market on the side. Takes some serious brains!
