Yeah, I noticed that. Before I fall asleep now I routinely ask the FA to leave my light on if I sleep as I am afraid of the dark. They always get a chuckle and leave my light on.

Love these. I used to work door/valet at a hotel and this was one of our favorites. I swear we had a conversation like this at least twice a week.
No offense to hybrid owners, and there are many who are awesome guests, but there are also some exactly like this.

Given that's it is summer and all the soccer parents have been out and about with their kids for their one and only yearly hotel trip, this is absolutely spot on. I was at a FS hotel in DC the other day and waited through 3 elevator cycles so a family of 4 could send their THREE FULL bell carts of junk to their room. Of course, even though this was a 4* property they decided to use the public high rise elevators to schlep everything upstairs.

Yesterday I was in the DFW SkyClub, and it was pretty noisy in there. An important phone call came in from my wife's doctor regarding her treatment, so I slipped into the quite room so I could hear a little better. I made sure to cover the phone and keep my voice down. Next thing I know some drunk guy who had been passed out in the corner is in my face yelling at me for being on the phone. He tried to emphasize his authority by telling me he's already made DM for the year and will easily make Double Diamond. He said he knew the club agents personally and would have me kicked off my flight!
I stepped just outside the room to avoid confrontation, and then he picked up all the quiet signs in the room and placed them in a circle around me!

. However, isn't the point of a quiet room is that it is quiet? It would seem that no phones would be a given.

Agreed. There should have been no phone calls in the quiet area; I would have asked you to leave as well. Everything else is of course hilarious.
