Earlier this week I was on a business trip and packed a full outfit to relax in once I arrived at the hotel. I do not dress around my wife and kids (although my wife knows I dress), so I like to take advantage of any opportunities when I have some alone time. I was completely decked out: wig, makeup, skirt, heels, tights. At 10pm, I hear a knock. I didn't order room service, so I wasn't expecting anyone. However, I look out the peephole and see a hotel staffer. I'm about to tell him he has the wrong room, when he knocks again and says "Mr. {my name}, we have an amenity for you." All of sudden my heart starts racing: what do I do? Do I open the door and pretend that I'm the girlfriend, do I simply open the door and pretend like nothing odd is going on, do I send him away saying that I'm currently indisposed? I stammer, "Uhmm, well I..." and fortunately he then says, "I'll just leave it outside the door for you." RELIEF! I say thank you, wait 10 minutes after he's gone and peak out the door to find a dessert with a note "Compliments of the hotel business manager."
The thing is, stuff like this seems to happen to me almost every time I dress in a hotel. Twice I've had a fire alarm go off, and once before I had a hotel staffer knock to ask if any water was leaking into my room. All of the cases were easier because I didn't have makeup and could quickly pull the skirt down and pull pants up over my tights. Still, this has happened so much, its hard not to wonder if hotels are watching us in our rooms and like to mess with us. Has anybody else had experiences like this, or have I just had a run of bad luck?
