When I entered my hotel room I immediately threw down my bags and called the front desk.
After about 10 minutes of profanity the person at the desk responded.
“May I help you sir?”
Evidentially, someone had left some kind of chocolate in a wrapper on my pillow.
“That’s a complimentary mint sir.”
As I hung up I wondered?
Why in the hell would I take someone putting a mint on my pillow as a compliment?
Actually, I found it very insulting.
Insulting as hell.
Didn’t they realize that when I went to bed the heat of my head on the mint would likely make it melt
creating a chocolate minty mess of my head, pillow, and hairnet?!
When I went in the bathroom I became livid.
There was a paper cover over glass in the bathroom
When I confronted the front desk about this problem they said.
“Sir, the glass is covered for your protection.”
As I hung up I thought?
Protection from what?
Inadvertently drowning myself if I filled the glass with water
and then tried to take a drink?
Then I realized what they were talking about.
What if some crazy person put the complimentary mint in the glass and I filled the glass with water
unaware of the mint’s presence, taking a drink from glass and subsequently choking to death on the mint.
After that I relaxed and decided that the people running this hotel were true professionals and
really knew their stuff. The rest of my trip was a pure pleasure.
Man, am I glad that for my honeymoon I decided to stay at Motel 6.
