sufficiently embarassing
I just made a sufficiently embarrassing phone call.
“Hello, [Hotel/ Apartment]”
“Yes, this is Adrian in room [x]. I managed to lock myself in my kitchen. Could you send someone up to let me out?”
Good things:
a) I have a cell phone.
b) I carry an address card for the hotel with me all the time. It has the phone number.
And, yes, for whatever reason, the kitchen door has a lock.
