Naked newspaper grab
So for the first time, after being on the road for about 20 years, I was caught this morning doing the naked newspaper grab in the hall from the hotel room.
I need longer...um..arms.

got up in the morning, opened door to grab paper and a fellow road warrior was walking by on way to breakfast. To make matter worse he just snickered.
Believe me the picture in your mind is plenty enough.

It's not clear if you are embarrassed or thrilled

This is why I always appreciate early AM hotel staffs that make the effort to ensure that a corner of the newspaper is tucked under the door bottom far enough to reach the inside....

I don't grab the paper naked, but I do sleep in a large man's t-shirt and just the other day I opened the door to grab the paper and at that exact moment a coworker was walking past my door. No makeup, glasses, morning hair and a t-shirt is not how you want to greet a coworker.

Hi,
I generally wait until I'm dressed to get the newspaper unless it is pushed under the door ( or if I have a bathrobe in the room I will put it on)
Regards
