You’re one of those people who doesn’t say ‘thank you’ if someone holds a door or a lift open for you, aren’t you?
“I didn’t ask you to do that so you’re not worthy of my gratitude”.
You utter utter bastard!

And the master switch that turns off the main light is by the door and can`t be switched off with a switch by the bed meaning you have to get out of bed, switch the light off then walk across the room in the dark and get back into bed

Or the switch next to the bed operates the lamp in the far corner.And the master switch that turns off the main light is by the door and can`t be switched off with a switch by the bed meaning you have to get out of bed, switch the light off then walk across the room in the dark and get back into bed

And every hotel is different so no way of working out a regular pattern of switches and light control. Even in the same hotel.
I sometimes think the light switch operates the lights in the next room so disturbing your neighbour as you try and find the right switch.

Add in those flexible bedside lamps which double up as steel cutting lasers

And the standard lamp in the corner is operated not by a light switch but by a foot operated switch on the floor.
Of course you only realise this after you've tried every bloody switch first

There was a Top Tip in Viz once:
Annoy your neighbours by buying the same TV as they have and standing in front of their house randomly changing the channels.
Mickey up the street from us bought a long string of those coloured outdoor lights for his patio and was meticulous about changing the colours. Red and green at Christmas, pink at vakentines, green at St Paddy’s etc. Then Admir a couple of doors down got the same set and was constantly f***ing with Mickey randomly changing the colours. Mickey was convinced he’d got a dud set and was about to pull them all down and take them back till Admir felt guilty and had to fess up!

Also the magic shower lever where you have to gamble as to whether you're going to get water boarded or not...

Not just the volume but the temperature. Especially mid-shower random changes that can go from peeling the skin off your face to balls-shrivelling frigidity in less time than it takes to grab the lever!

I have never understood why the controls for the shower have to be under the shower head.
Why not just to the side so you dont have to get soaked with cold water when you turn it on?

Good new one. When you're turning left with an really acute angle, you turn to look hard over your shoulder and you get the seat belt locking.
