Hotel SplendidoEnzyme writes, "what about awful hotels, B&Bs, or friends' houses where you've had no choice but to stay the night?"
What, the place in Oxford that had the mattresses encased in plastic (crinkly noises all night), the place in Blackpool where the night manager would drum to the music on his ipod on the corridor walls as he did his rounds, or the place in Lancaster where the two single beds(!) collapsed through metal fatigue?
Add your crappy hotel experiences to our list.

I'm hoping it's a joke. Nobody can be that snobby.I've heard that being embarrassed by being waited on is a uniquely middle-class thing (if such as thing as "class" means anything any more), as the working class will relate with the waiting staff, the upper class have spent their entire lives feeling superior to others, but the middle class are lost.
I'm not sure I buy it, though. I think most of us just unused to being looked after as adults, and those that aren't are the ones who have never really grown up.
