Note to Self:

Always deadbolt the hotel room door. Always. And chain it, too.
Because even though housekeeping may have already come, they may come back.
And of course they would choose the moment when you and your husband are in a very compromising situation.
And they wouldn't knock before entering.
"Hello?" as you open the door is not enough warning. Because then it puts us in the uncomfortable position of trying to instantaneously decide do we: a/yank up the covers, b/dive for clothing, c/run for the bathroom, d/slam the door back closed, or e/jump out of bed and then dance around trying to decide which of the above to do.

are you cracked? Who doesn't lock their hotel door? That's just scary!

Don't you know there are guys with chainsaws out there?

umm, yeah. Locking hotel room doors is the first thing you should do when you get there. Followed closely by checking to make sure the windows are actually latched. Unless of course, you're on the 20th story of a building, in which case, there probably isn't a latch to lock. :)
