Lobby

ATTENTION HOTEL PATRONS: The lobby is supposed to be a place where you come to check in and that's it. You can certainly walk through on your way to your room/the elevator/the ice machine/the laundry facilities, but that's it. It's a pass-through kind of area, not a hang out and read a magazine while your stroller-imprisoned, unfortunately parented child gets frostbite because you've haplessly parked yourselves by the open front doors and yes it is snowing outside people it's that cold kind of area. It's not meant to be a place of leisure, it's a place of transition--you transition yourself up to your room where the leisure then begins. We don't want to watch your ass instead of the television because you're thoughtlessly standing in front of it and we don't want to listen to your intensely personal and horrifyingly interminable cell phone conversations. Okay? Keep that in mind the next time you're in a hotel lobby and we'll all be a lot happier. Well, at least I will. And that is definitely all that matters. The GB has spoken!
