Why I Need My Wife - Reason #851
By mobile on Aug 8, 2008 in mobile post, reasons why
Here is my conversation with the front desk tonight after spending 5 minutes trying to remember my room and testing out my key in 10+ doors….
Front Desk - How can I help you?
Me - Can you tell me what room CJ Mills is staying in?
Front Desk - No, but I can transfer you.
Me - What if I am CJ Mills?
Front Desk - *laughter*
Me - *not laughing*
Front Desk - *clears throat* Can I have your address to confirm?
Me - (after giving my info) Does this happen often?
Front Desk - No.
Please tell me I’m not the only one to forget something like this. Anyone else forget something simple like your room in a hotel or a parking space in a parking garage? Please feel free to lie just to make me feel better….

I hear you. And I’m laughing with you. Not at you.
Bummer we couldn’t connect today. But that’s cool. I am anxious to see my family tomorrow night.
Hopefully the rest of your trip will fly by.

Dude, you make me feel better. I’ve done the same stinking thing before (although I’ve usually just been lucky enough to slide my keycard in enough doors until I get it right).

HAHA…
I travel a lot, and I don’t think I have ever forgotten.
I will say that in the midst of going from on hotel one night to another hotel then next night.. I have walked to the old hotels room # before realizing I had a new room number.
There is also the time that my key card kept getting messed up. 3 times I had to get it re made…. Um yeah.. then the person at the front desk asked me which end I was putting in the door first. I showed him… He took it out of my hands turned it over and handed it back.

That has got to happen all the time. Don’t worry dude.
But what I think she might have been responding to is the way you asked the question. Most people who can’t remember their room just go up to the desk (or call) and ask for it. I think the fact you tried to ask what room you were in (acting like a guest or a colleague) and then declaring that it was you is what she was saying doesn’t happen all the time.
If not, she hasn’t been working there long because that craps happens all the time.
P.S. The real best is when people lose their boarding passes in the 2 minutes between handing them to the gate agent and by the time they get to the plane. Then they ask the flight attendant which seat they are suppose to sit in. Idiots!

All I have to say is that you should have gone to the lobby drank about 4 or 5 beers. At least then you would have had something to blame it on.

Well, not often, though I did once- and was lucky enough that it was written on the sleeve that the cards came in…
