The Crowbar Incident

Israel and I stayed in a Days Inn in Texas in May of this year. This is where said incident happened. Now, let me say that I have stayed in many different hotels, and I have had many odd experiences…..but….never one like this.

So, here’s what went down. Israel and I checked in to the hotel, got our keys and went to our room. When we entered our room we noticed that the bathroom door was locked from the inside. We called the front desk and they said they would send someone down. A few moments later we heard a knock on the door. When we opened the door we found a man standing there with a crowbar. Yep a crowbar. I asked if I could help him he said he was here to ‘unlock’ the door. I opened the door and held it open while he moved to the bathroom door to work on it. He literally began to pry the door open. This guy works for the place mind you! So, I think to myself….no one will believe me unless I take a picture…. so I use my great hand to eye coordination and I flip my crackberry to silent to snap a silent picture. Unfortunately for me I didn’t know that it didn’t actually silent the camera I also didn’t realize the flash was on. Yep, so I clicked the picture button and a very bright flash followed by a loud ‘chick chick’ happened in the guy’s face. He turned to look at me with a look like I just called his mother something and my only response was…..’um…I’m sorry…I guess my phone isn’t working correctly….’. He asked me to back up. He crowbared the door and from then on the facilities were available.

I’ve included two pictures to document the incident. 1. the actual picture of the man and his crowbar and 2. Israel’s facial reinactment of the incident.

I should also add that Israel saw the crowbar man at the door and instantly opened his macbook that was not even on and proceeded to check imaginary email. traitor!
