Where is the strangest place you have slept?'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

On an office chairI spent the most uncomfortable night of my life sleeping in an office.
It was in the early hours of the morning that we stepped off a delayed flight back from a group holiday. All the airport hotels were full, but as luck would have it one of the group worked in an office near heathrow (well, across a busy ringroad and through several wire fences anyway - this is with our luggage still on the trolley). We arrived there grateful to be indoors and the security guys said it was ok for us to hang out there until the morning.
I pushed two of those very uncomfortable office chairs together and attempted to sleep. Unfortunately each time I drifted off the two would part company leaving my arse hanging in mid air (they had wheels on, natch). Also, the lights couldn't be turned off so there was a fluorescent glare that was visible even through the eyelids.
We waited until the same came up and left - at 5am. Mind you, it beats sleeping under a bridge and at least there was free coffee out of the nescafe machine.
