I'm doing out of town training, staying in a hotel. As everyone knows, most hotels have key cards, and this one was no different. Most hotels have automatic door closers on the room doors, same as with this one.
So, on Thursday, I took my shower and put some fluffy fleece pajamas on, added my electric vest, bunny slippers and my Elmer Fudd fur lined hat, then stepped outside to smoke one last time before I went to bed.
While I remembered my smokes, lighter and CAR keys, I forgot about my key card until I heard the door close.
No phone, and me stuck out in the freezing rain. Very smart move on my part.
I scampered to the lobby, peeked in the windows to be sure it was clear, then ran in to the very nice clerk saying "I'm the dumbass in 1614 who can't seem to remember my key card, please help and hurry lest we inflict this on your other guests!" She didn't even blink, asked "Inflict?", I gestured at myself and she said "Your attire? I think you look fabulous." and handed me a new key card while telling me to have a good rest of my night.
I went back to my room, sat down at my laptop and wrote corp and the hotel to compliment her on her kindness and professionalism. I'm good at suck up letters, I didn't once mention her skills at lying!
