1558 Snore Subject

I sometimes think we're turning into a generation of self-indulgent wussies. It's seems as if everything adverse, rather than being taken is stride, is grounds for either a major upheaval in service or a lawsuit.
Case in point, a luxury hotel chain is instituting measures to eliminate complaints about people snoring. No, they aren't putting Breathe Right nasal strips next the pillow candy, although that might do the trick.
They went to the extraordinary lengths of soundproofing their room walls more. They’re called snore-absorption rooms. Now I can appreciate some of that effort. If only to distinguish your hotel chain from lesser offerings in your category.
If Best Western has "Now offering snore-absorption!" on their marquis, I may be willing to turn over a C for a few more Z's. And it could certainly put the Shhh in Shilo.
There's no doubt that snore-absorption technology would make the no-tell motel a nicer place to be too. There are other pajama partying sounds that could stand some muffling.
But the hotel chain in question has taken it too far. They also are mounting snore patrols, whose job it is to knock on the doors of folks who are snoring thunderously.
Really? If I'm in the next room that would wake me up even more. How many times have you been in a hotel and someone knocks on the next-door door and you think it's yours and in a jolt of wide-awaking adrenalin you instantly hope you remembered to put the metal bolt on.
I'd think having the snore patrol ring the room telephone would be better. Or a small electric shock sent through the Magic Fingers bed thingy.
Better yet, we could all just get used to a little adversity.
Or maybe buy some, um, earplugs…
America, ya gotta love it.
