Ok - so I may spend a bit too much time in hotel rooms thinking about stupid stuff. When you have a job like me that warrants a lot of travel, it comes naturally.
I think about stupid stuff all the time like how to get free hotel porn pay-per-view movies, how to maximize the amount of free soap you get, and why oh why do the maids in EVERY hotel I’ve EVER stayed at do this:
Does my toilet paper really need daily folding? I don’t do this at home - and it works just as good.
