Many years ago I was in bed in my hotel room and heard someone at the door. At first, I thought it was some drunk who had mistaken the room number. Not the first time someone did that right.

But then I heard the door OPENING and that alarmed me. Turned out it was my wife. She had also been travelling and due to bad weather had ended up having to land in the same city as I was in. She knew where I would be and so took a taxi from the airport to my hotel. That's the coincidence.

Here's the bad part. At the front desk she identified herself and asked what room her husband was in. They TOLD her and gave her a key. That is of course a very big no no. I don't know if it was a newbie on the desk or if she somehow sweet talked them into it. I didn't ask her.

But the look on my associate's face when he came down to breakfast and saw us both sitting there was priceless though. He had not gone up to his room alone if you get my drift. If it had been his wife, there might have been an ambulance called. LOL
