Welcome to Awkward Travel! A Limited Liability Corporation! Hope everyone is enjoying another great summer. Don’t let oil spills, recessions, and ass sweltering heat get in the way of your God given American right to vacation over summer.
We’ve got some new gear in the shop. On a recent trip to Philadelphia, it was discovered that the Courtyard Marriott has improved the doorknob signage that indicates whether or not you would like to be disturbed. Getting creative with door tags beyond the standard “Privacy Please”, this Courtyard Marriot’s say “I need some ‘me’ time”. Whoa. This is pretty state of the art.
Why the change? Do I need psychoanalysis? Were the unions of housekeepers somehow displeased about privacy? Did they need more explanation? I thought “Privacy Please” aptly suggested, “Listen. I am away from my wife and kids. While sitting bare assed on all of the furniture, I’ve also destroyed the room and may or may not have bought 24 hours of porn. You better stay clear so I can at least finish my travel size bottle of Jim Beam and make dirty calls to my wife.”
Instead, these new signs suggest, “Sorry, housekeeper, it’s not you. It’s me. It is all my fault.” I should have snagged more of these as the opportunities for utilizing its subtlety seems endless. I can only imagine if, during all the messy breakups I’ve had with girls over the years, I had just invited the girl to where I live and left this sign on my door.
Hey come back next week. We’ll discuss why Rick Steves is not the man you think he is.
It should also be noted that today is the CEO of awkward travel llc’s birthday.
Happy Birthday Asshole
Just when I thought The Avant Guardian couldn’t get any better Awkward Travel appears. I am so looking forward to your posts!
My only comments are this – “WE” needed some ME/US time last night but no it was allll talkie talkie on the phone. I suggest when you call your wife to talk dirty to her you do it after I have my time to talk. Remember your rules – “Do the opposite”
Anyways I hope you enjoyed your Birthday and I can’t wait for next years celebration when I sing to you in person
Awkward Travel. Yes. Where the hell is the “like” button?
Haha I just saw the “come back later, I’m finishing a dream” door sign.
