Why didn’t one of them just sleep on the floor at the motel?


Plot hole

Uncomfortable

Not sure if serious, but that's not what a plot hole is.

Fear of vermin I guess.

Yup. Never sleep on the floor at a motel!

Because it's a comedy, and if one had slept somewhere other than the bed, we would have been deprived of a very funny scene.

You know you get to an age where its better to face your homophobia than it is to try surviving sleeping on the floor. You'll get there one day if you stay off the smack.

How is this a plot hole?

I mean, even if the core 'issue' you have could be said to be a plot hole, you are not writing a statement, you are ASKING A QUESTION.

How is YOU asking a QUESTION a plot hole the filmmakers created?

Now, let's answer your _E_X_T_R_E_M_E_L_Y_ confusing question..

"Why didn’t one of them just sleep on the floor at the motel?"

Because there was a bed.

Q.E.D.

P.S. Your question TRULY baffles me.. why would you ask why someone prefers bed to floor to sleep on? What? To me, that looks like:

"Why are they not sitting on rocks, when they could be sitting on a comfortable chair?"

(I know the 'correct' usage is probably 'in', but it makes no sense to me to sit IN a chair, any more than it would make sense to be 'underWATER', when you are INSIDE the water and SURROUNDED by it, and if anything, you are only under SOME water, but also ABOVE some other water, and to the left and to the right of some other water, and so on, but I can't change a whole illogical language so quickly, so this might take a couple of thousand years - or it would, if there weren't people that constantly keep destroying it without care..)

Neither you, nor your question, nor your name (all CAPS, like a toddler, really?) nor your ridiculous conclusion make any sense.

GROSS! Sleeping in the bed in a fleabag hotel is bad enough. Sleeping on a dirty floor that 10,000 people have walked on? And condoms dropped on, and thrown up on?
