My favorite recently was a guy in a gym that was using the time on his cycle to lay out his negotiating strategy for a huge deal with an associate, while his voice carried to more than fifty people in the gym.

Dude. Earphones. Not always your friends.

I think he's craftier than you think. There's a scene in "The Player" (which I unfortunately can't find to post) where a guy's sitting in a restaurant loudly dropping names and and seemingly working on a big deal via his (old and huge) cell phone when it rings, establishing that he's not actually talking to anybody. That's what your gym guy sounds like to me.

People who don't understand staying in a hotel is not the same as living at home. Don't let the door to your room slam on the way in late at night or on the way out early in the morning. Use your inside voice when talking on your phone or roaming the halls, because I don't care to hear about your problems/conquests/whatever. In general use some common sense and have some common courtesy for others staying there as well.

People who don't understand staying in a hotel is not the same as living at home. You have no reasonable right to expect silence at any time, day or night. I've worked out of state for weeks and 3rd shift at that. The assholes all getting up and going places at 8am when I had been asleep for 2 hours. They sure didn't seem to give a fuck about why I was staying in a hotel. Why should I care what the fuck they're up to.

Because hopefully you have some common decency towards your fellow man. I don't ever let my door slam no matter what time of day it is, nor do I yell or carry on in the hallway. Silly me maybe I should just be a fucking ass when I stay at a hotel and not have considerations for others staying there. The point is it is a common dwelling place and not your personal home. Common courtesy is all I ask.

Well that's not what you said. You said late at night and early in the morning as if those are the only times anyone is sleeping in a hotel.

Well okay but late night and early morning are the times when hotels are going to have "quiet hours," if they have them. If someone's noise is keeping my kids up after 10, I'm calling the front desk and expecting a quick response at any decent hotel.

So how about if you skip, say, Mondays but still work out every other day? That is actually SIX workouts a week! That's just logic.

Holy shit, that's some great material right there. :lol: Should have just posted "Check back in 7 days." That would have resulted in some more hilarity, I'm sure.

And I get less than 4 weeks paid time off per year. Between spring break, Christmas break, snow days, sick days and car trouble, I may get 2 or 3 long weekends a year without kids. I've paid for a suite in a different city where old friends will meet up for a couple days and turn up. I don't really care that someone won't get enough sleep. It's a hotel. If you want quiet go Air BnB.

I have a kid. I get it. But unless they're so rowdy they're breaking furniture I'm not snitching. In fact, sounds like a good way to get my ass beat in front of my family. No one wants that. :lol:
