Stuck In A Hotel?

A friend of mine is trapped in a hotel. Which is to say that he's been working in a far-away city for a week or so and is expecting to be there for another week or so.

So he posted online asking for suggestions on stuff to do to while away the lonely hours. Being a good friend I came up with a list, and not being one to waste a potential blogging idea, I present said list below.

But I don't want you to feel that you're not getting value, so I have also illustrated each entry on the list for your entertainment!


Things to do in your hotel:



Take a lot of baths.



Build a fort out of stuff from the room and leave it there for the cleaning lady to find. Do this every day for three days, but on the third day, be hiding in the fort.



Take the sheet from your bed, and wander the corridors dressed as a ghost. In the morning, discuss the haunting with the staff and see if you can get a discount.



Chat up the receptionist for extra biscuits.



Dismantle any framed pictures in your hotel room and rehang them upside down. See if anyone notices.



At the breakfast buffet, take ALL of the bacon. Then only eat one rasher.



Plant a small tree in reception. If anyone asks, tell them it's to remember the war heroes.



Ride the lifts. Announce each floor number and indicate whether you are going up or down an whether the doors are opening or closing.



Ask the staff for tips.
