Not actually today but remembered and thought it would be funny to share. Tiny bit of background: the hotel I was staying at for about a month had transparent glass doors to the shower. Also the housekeepers would come every single day sometime in the morning, usually while I was gone so I figured this was just their routine.
A couple weeks into my stay, I went to take a shower around 3-4 pm. Didn’t have the door locked or do not disturb sign out (I know now this was dumb) because I thought housekeeping had already come or wasn’t coming since it was the weekend or something. Bathroom door was closed and during my shower, I heard faint knocking through the walls. Never imagined this was my room door since it didn’t sound very loud. Fast forward about 1 min later and the bathroom door abruptly opens which I do notice causing me to flinch and turn slightly in that direction. The shower head is opposite the door so I was facing away and now I make brief eye contact with the housekeeper who I guess didn’t hear the shower running because she was wearing AirPods in both freaking ears. In that quick couple seconds, I try to cover myself with my hands and she looks scared and immediately apologizes and leaves. It was really no big deal on my end other than being scared shitless that someone busted into the bathroom while I was showering but I do feel bad for the housekeeper who for sure got a view of my butt cheeks and probably a brief side/full frontal glimpse when I turned around😂
TLDR: Housekeeper wearing AirPods walked into the hotel bathroom while I was in the shower. I learned why some people always put out the DND sign.
