A recent hotel issued rather peculiar vouchers for internet access. Instead of merely a user name and password, guests were asked to type in a series of random words each morning – in our case “hue onion swim raff” then “croon slimy tune bali”.
I couldn’t help but wonder whether interesting combinations of phrases accidentally appeared. Picture, for example, one of their cuter visitors being handed a form requiring her to type: “behave yourself young lady”.
But maybe it wouldn’t be that random; perhaps staff had control over the sentences, our lass presenting herself each morning for a new pass and, in succession, receiving the following codes:
“we have been watching”
“you look pretty naked”
“do not read porn”
“touching yourself is naughty”
“you deserve a spanking”.
Primarily, I like the (creepily!) voyeuristic here – but also rather enjoy the thought that the self-confident, self-aware guest might just fancy the duty manager, might have an exhibitionist streak and might quite like seeing what message she could provoke next.
