Karma Strikes DYKWIA Immediately After Hotel Check-In
This has to be a record in karma making things right.
I was waiting to check in at the Kempinski Vier Jahreszeiten when a DYKWIA (accompanied by Frau DYKWIA) walked in front of the line (there were several people waiting patiently) and just went to the next available person at the front desk.
He then had to get some papers out of his roll aboard, so he put it down on the floor, opened it, and eventually found his papers.
A few minutes later, key in hand, he simply picked up the handle of the roll aboard and clothing went flying everywhere.
I was unable to contain myself at that point.

Last week I was in London and stayed at my favorite hotel 41. While I might not be so frequent I have been staying there for years and they are really good at remembering things and treating you quite well. While waiting to check-in a total DYKWIA son of a motherless goat cuts in front of me and slams his card and passport on the desk while barking his name at the woman.
The woman smiled and said, "Yes Mr. DYKWIA I remember you from your previous visits. But for now you are behind this nice couple that just won our complimentary SPA package"
Complimentary Massage, why yes please. And they know I like extra pillows and towels without having to ask. Worth the money.
Edit: Bonus as he was a Sox fan and my lady was wearing a yanks cap.
