I have just been given a free drink by my hotel and asked if I do not mind not being in the breakfast room tomorrow when an ageing German speaking couple appear. It seems as if they complained three times today that I had taken a phone call while they had breakfast. Not that this is illegal but they have paid for peace and quiet.
I paid to use a hotel where I am allowed to take a phone call. But they are old folks so naturally their needs are more important than mine.
Maybe I am allowed to have breakfast but must leave my phone outside? Whatever.
The old fascists did not complain to me but apparently they blame me for not picking up on the complaints they made to the hotel. I am meant to be psychic.
To be so authoritarian, humourless, unforgiving and German speaking I just assumed that they were brought up as active members of the Hitler Youth. Upon enquiry it turns out that they were Swiss so they just processed the gold teeth without actually extracting them.
