This week, we're diving headfirst into the bizarre and often bewildering world of hotel wake-up calls. Prepare for tales of missed alarms, phantom rings, and the sheer existential dread of a disembodied voice shattering your precious vacation slumber.
We'll also explore the psychology behind the wake-up call. Why do we trust a stranger to rouse us from our deep sleep? What's the appropriate level of politeness when answering a phone half-conscious? And is there a secret society of hotel operators who delight in delivering the most awkwardly timed and vaguely worded awakenings imaginable?
Listeners beware: this episode may trigger flashbacks to your own hotel wake-up call nightmares. But fear not! We'll offer survival tips, including the strategic placement of multiple alarms and the crucial art of the pre-emptive "do not disturb" sign. So grab your lukewarm continental breakfast, settle in, and prepare to laugh until your internal alarm clock goes haywire.
Drop us a quick text and we’ll reply in the next episode!
