“My husband loves being outdoors. If he could, he’d spend his whole life up a mountain. One day, he and his walking partner met two women on a climb. They were obviously planning to camp while my husband and his friend were just out for the day, and they got chatting about what the various plans were and what they each hoped to cover. As they got ready to go their separate ways, one of the men asked the women where they were planning to camp and what the route for the rest of the day was. The women clammed up and were uncomfortable sharing that information. My husband came home very confused and a bit offended after having such a nice conversation that these women suddenly changed and became seemingly rude. I told him that I wouldn’t have told an unknown man where I plan to sleep, either, and it was ridiculous of him and his partner to expect the women to give up that information. Lessons were learned that day.”
“A year ago, I was traveling with my wife and her sister. While we were on the elevator with a few other strangers, I asked my SIL what room she was staying in. She gave me a look like we were talking about Santa in front of children, and I was confused for a bit. She just didn’t want the other people in the elevator to know her room number since she was sleeping alone.”
“About a month ago, a friend of mine was staying at a nice hotel for work in a suburban area. While she was out with her work friends, she mentioned her room number casually in conversation. Later that night, a man came to that hotel and broke into her room while she was in it. Turns out this was the second or third woman he followed.
Terrifying. I always always say I need two keys because my husband is on the way, even if he’s not. I never say my room number out loud anymore. If I’m at the front desk and they ask, I show them the little envelope the key came in.”
