Things the Hampton Inn Would Prefer You Not Do During Your Stay


Hang your clothes on the sprinkler head.

Leave the continental breakfast waffle maker closed when it’s not in the process of waffle-making.

Steal the rubber duckie that’s been provided for your delight.

Interpret “delight” too broadly with respect to appropriate uses of the rubber duckie.

Leave a half-consumed can of Coors as a tip for your housekeeper Renee.

Iron your hair with the clothes iron.

Stand, naked, at the connecting door between your room and a stranger’s room and say, “You don’t know me. Want to?”

Torrent the M83 album leak through the hotel wireless network.

Call housekeeping and request that someone come up and re-fold the end of your toilet paper into a point.

Leave a baby in the dresser drawer.

Reserve a block of rooms for your friends who live “The Lifestyle”; go to the next-door Ruby Tuesday’s; get drunk; trade unmarked key cards; and run giggling through the second floor trying every door.

Do a cannonball in the whirlpool.
