A hotel video shows a naked man putting a hotel tray outside his door and getting locked out.
What does he do? He walks down the corridor. He passes two men. He gets in the lift. A woman with her son is inside. He turns his back on them. A woman shields her small son's face. He goes to reception and asks for a duplicate key. The receptionist demands a driving license as ID.
Some commentators claim it's a fake. Other claiming to work in hotels say it happens regularly.
One commentator suggested he should knock on the next room and ask to borrow a towel.
Others say he should have asked the two men to fetch him a towel. Others ask why the hotel does not have a phone.
You wouldn't offer him a towel. The polite thing is not to notice. If he doesn't speak to you, you assume he'd rather not be identified. You'd assume he was creeping back from his room to a friend's or vice versa. Like any resident looking out of the room seeing a naked person by their door, you'd rather not get involved. He might be drunk, drugged or nuts.
You might report it to reception - but the danger is they come upstairs to look and he's gone so they think you are the nutter claiming to see naked people in the corridor.
Best suggestion is to look for a linen closet and borrow a big towel before going to reception.
Warning: Reception may not give you a key until you have answered a security question. If you have no passport nor photo driving license, they may ask for your home address and phone number as ID. Sounds easy. Until you are on your way to a new home in a foreign country. Or you've given the address of the relative or friend you are staying with, and can't give the house number or remember the multi-digit phone number. If you are Mr and Mrs Smith and haven't given your home address, or aren't sure which address has been given, or have two homes, more confusion and embarrassment. If you have a married name and a maiden name, or the room is booked by the business you are visiting, even worse.
Moral of the story: do not walk around naked in hotels especially not when opening a door to bathroom or corridor. If you go into the bathroom naked, you never know when room service will walk into the room behind you. If you step out into the corridor you are on TV cameras. In a lift you are on TV cameras.
