I still laugh / cringe over this one.
We are on a couple of bicycling route maps. I love my cyclists.
A few years ago I checked in a wonderful couple - gave them The Tour and then got on with what I was doing. A few minutes later she comes down and asks if I could help them with the TV (not uncommon for someone unfamiliar with satellite).
Now - a bit of background info. The first thing I DEMAND of every guest is that they "make themselves as at home as fast as they can". As far as that particular room goes, the headboard is on the same wall as the door into the room and the door into the bathroom - so when you walk in the first thing you see is the fireplace and TV - the bed is automatically to your right and behind you as you move into the room.
She walks in the room first with me right behind her. The first thing I notice is that the bed has been beautifully turned down already to freshly laundered sheets (good job thinks I). The next thing I hear is a very sharp intake of breath and I hear:
"OMG honey, I don't think she meant you to make yourself THAT at home THAT quickly".
A nano-second glance to my right establishes that hubby has disrobed (completely), been very considerate and taken the bedding down to the sheets and is, in a very exhausted / content state of mind, enjoying the a/c.
His wife is about to die from humiliation but I am already halfway through the room and turning round to leave at the point would .... ummm ... make it worse. So I looked straight ahead at the TV and took my time explaining how everything worked .... in microscopic detail, which gave him time to bolt into the bathroom (also behind me). Once I heard the bathroom door close I was able to take my leave..
