I'm watching a guy fondle a raw steak with the hands he hasn't washed once during the show. Then he picks up the olive oil bottle with the same hand and pours the oil on the steak. He throws the steak on the grill, and then begins handling vegetables, still without washing his hands, with which he is going to make a raw salsa.
The most important thing: keep the maids out! You get your room all nice and set up the way you want it, and in the morning they come in and eff it all up. The worst of it is, they keep tucking the sheets back into the mattress!
Hotels that fix the coat hangers to the closet rod so that you can't hang them up anyplace else. Why do I dislike this? First of all, the implication seems to be that I traveled across the country and paid $150 to stay in your hotel room so that I can... steal some coat hangers! Secondly, it defeats my usual way of unwrinkling my shirts: hang them in the bathroom while I take a long hot shower.
Long before the modern age. I think if you brought someone from ancient Rome to New York, they would be baffled by a lot of the particulars, but they would recognize that they were looking at a city. But if you put them on the Polaski Skyway and had them gaze out at the Northern New Jersey landscape that one sees from there, I think that landscape would leave them utterly befuddled as to what in the world they were looking at.
