If you were on speaker phone it wouldn't be the loud in my ear!
You obviously haven't met some of the people I have. They will sit in the lobby, as far from me as possible, have a conversation on their speaker phone (or facetime or whatever), and I can still hear the other person clearly.

What you do is you just join in on the conversation.

Oh, yeah. People love that. Hell, you ask them to turn it down and they get all pissy. Say things like "Stop listening to my private conversation!" If it is a private conversation, then have it in private. Not over speaker in a hotel lobby, sometimes during breakfast with a dozen or so strangers trying to eat.

See I like to think of the world as a bell curve so for every person that dumb there is someone else that much smarter then they are dumb. It helps me to not lose my mind.

Temps outside at that time are like 5 degrees.
I don't know. The first two motels I worked at (back when I lived in Florida) the lobby wasn't open until 6:30, so we probably didn't have any ready yet. Now, if you asked nicely I likely could/would have gotten you some, but if you were an a#$&&$@, then I would tell you to come back at 6:30. Of course, I doubt Mort was rude.

Yeah I highly doubt mort was a rude @$$@%^&. We keep hot drinks available 24/7 even if I do pour out gallons of coffee every night.

I wish more of the smart people stayed here. Of course, they're smart, so they are probably smart enough to not travel.

Same here. Although I usually pour out the old stuff, rather then poor it out.

Now this last lady who came in had to be high. she sounded it. She walked past my sold out signs and asked if we had any rooms. I told her no but asked where she was heading and she answered yes... It wasn't a yes or no question woman! I guess she might have been suffering from sleep deprivation I have no clue.

This is why I travel with an electric kettle, an aeropress, and coffee and tea things, so I don't have to leave my room until I am caffeinated to my satisfaction and I don't have to see/talk to anyone until I am marginally less of an asshat.
Marginally.
Lisa Your alright. I wish everyone was like you.

Yesterday evening, we got offered free tickets to this really fun thing in town... new friends invited us to an impromptu double date.
So we called Grandpa and Grandma to see if we could drop the kids off for a couple of hours, changed clothes, ran over there, and as we were walking up the front garden path at my in-law's house, they came out to greet us, and Teensy Valeros suddenly threw up all over his grandfather's trousers and shoes.
So we got him cleaned up, got back in the car, and went home.
Then WW turned around and went back out, because he had plans to get together with some old college friends that he had been planning for later on, so he just went early.
The kids and I sat on the couch and watched cartoons.
And Val's been throwing up all night.

No we keep hot water (like I don't wanna spill it on me hot.) and we have bags of different kinds of tea right now we have a green a black with lemon and earl grey and some other kind I don't like. (ofcourse we are a higher end hotel.)
Yep that's how my motel works. I keep hitting the misty mint teapot. The teas are by farmers bros. Doh, LM, did you guys figure out what's wrong with teensy Val?

He's five. Kindergarteners get *everything*. He's pretty happy this morning, but I've got both kids on the couch in their jammies with tea and cinnamon toast watching cartoons and WW is going to church by himself.
AW COOL I WANNA WATCH CARTOONS.AND EAT CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!
Oh wait, I'm an adult I can eat that for dinner if I want.

Well, I'd say "Sure, come hang out on the couch with the kids; I'm sure they'll share their cereal."
Trouble is, they'd share their germs, too.Fun!

The Walking Dead is difficult to watch.
It boils down to forty minutes of "Oh, it's soooo hopeless we should just die!" "earthy wisdom in a southern drawl"
Followed by ten minutes of "OMG! Is that a suspiciously empty but completely stocked hospital/store/emergency shelter" "earthy wisdom about having sweaty awkward sex"
And then another 8-10 minutes of "Holy f*!%ing s#~%, they's ain't as stupid as we thought they were!" "earthy wisdom about knee capping secondary characters to escape"
And ends with "Oh no, my son/daughter is missing/was shot by a deer! We need more medical supplies!" "earthy cliffhanger".
Dang it! I forgot every episode starts with an exposition flashback.

...So, think of what would drive you to fly across the world, in a boat"...
Would actually be very interesting probably…
Just a shame they don't make them like they used to.
