A hotel, a fire alarm and £1000.....

[Crusytoenail]

What do you make of this appearing in the Mirror?

I work nights in a hotel and a surprising number of people lock themselves out of their room wearing very little or nothing at all doing this after a skin full. None of them have ever pulled the fire alarm though!

My phone is crap, second attempt at clicky link, apologies if this one doesn't work either!

You joined just to post this? I'm guessing nobody is reading and you're getting desperate.

No, long time member who can use a name change facility.

Why do people think we want to know nor care about this stuff? Surely you would just take it up with the hotel?

Why does this post need a name change?

DH locked himself out of our hotel room after a Christmas party. He was so drunk he thought he was at home so went out of the room to go to where he thought the toilet was. And he was naked 🙈

I name change fairly regularly, happens to be the first post for a while under this particular one. Report to mumsnet if you think it's anything else, they'll be able to see how long I've been a member for.

Okay perhaps I was wrong, my apologies.

I just hate when media outlets join to promote their stories and this appeared like one of those times. My bad.

I hope his date paid the fine. She was the one who behaved like an idiot.

Haven’t clicked the link but my Uncle locked himself out of his hotel room naked and everything was glass...

He had to sheepishly go reception!

No problem @Pinkyyy, I get how it could have looked like that.
It's genuine interest though, like I said I do nights in a hotel and have seen quite a few people go out the wrong door (thank God for laundry cupboards on ever floor to cover naked wanderers!) But none of them have ever pulled the fire alarm. Usually woken surrounding rooms banging on doors or I've clocked them on hallway CCTV.

Cost him a lot all-in-all then, didn't it?

Wouldn't pulling the fire alarm bring more people out into the corridor? wouldn't that be much, much worse?

Second date, pissed up in a cheap hotel room.

How terribly romantic.

Where was the first date? In a bus stop?

Op I am eternally grateful for your posting about this, otherwise I would have never have seen this.... 😂

Why would you go to the papers with this?!

My oh did this once. He had to go down to the reception, on the way he'd fashioned some sort of nappy using blue roll in the bars toilet so his giblets would be covered up. I was woken up by two hotel staff on their knees with laughter and dp stood there like baby Cha Cha from Ally McBeal.

I hope the publicity around this will help prevent anyone else behaving so stupidly.

Disturbing several hundred other guests, hotel fire alarms go straight through to the emergency services....

Idiots need to be held accountable for idiocy when it affects others.

I think the fine was fair to be honest. Her hitting the firealarm was stupid and inconvenienced a lot of people. She didnt know what to do so hit the firealarm? How about going down to the reception fewer would see her naked that way than when evacuating a entire hotel in the middle of the night.

He " slapped " the computer? AKA he was aggressive towards staff who his date had kept awake in the middle of the night and who due to her behaviour had a day of dealing with lots of complaints about the fake fire alarm..

All because she didn't want someone to see her naked?

@Shakennotshook Why would you go to the papers with this?

Two reasons probably. To let the ex/father of her children know that she’s out ‘shagging’ in the mistaken belief he will be jealous.

Secondly, so that people will feel sorry for them and send them money, hopefully more than the grand they’ve been charged with.

Unfortunately, unsavoury people love the limelight.

Bizarre!
