I just made it down to LA this morning so I can take the polygraph tomorrow. All the regular hotels I stay at were all booked so I ended up at this swanky hotel. The second we pulled in front, the bellhops/doormen (whatever they're called) came running up to the taxi to open my door. Not trying to sound cheap and petty, but I was tired and hungry and getting cranky and the only thing I thought of was how I now have to tip them just because they opened my door. So as they "assisted" me getting out of the taxi, I put my bag on the ground and gave them a tip, then all of a sudden they all reach for my bag! Hey hey! Stop that! Stop! Give me back my bag! I don't want to give out money on things like having the door opened for me or my one bag carried to the lobby from the front entrance and no I don't want you coming up to my room to make sure everything is okay up there. *sigh* I don't even want to talk about how much in tips I gave out in that 3 minute period.
So then I grabbed a cab to go to the mall and it cost me about 15 bucks, 20 bucks cheaper then the same exact ride 3 weeks ago I took. Not complaining about this recent ride, but yo, talk about getting gypped from the last ride. I really need to learn my way around here.
I love this little internet cafe, nothing but hot little gay boys.
Uh oh...I'm getting an idea..
