    Also at hotels while traveling … ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

    But if you’re lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they’ll give you something just for asking.

      I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I’d categorize that as worse than no.

        If that happened to me at a hotel … I’d give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost … definitely not a hotel I’d want to stay in.

          I also made it up, just to provide an example of something worse that could happen. But probably never will.

        Did you sue for millions? If not, you missed your shot! I chipped my tooth on a Taco Bell burrito once because there was a bone in the ground beef, and I still kick myself 20 years later for not sueing them.

          I did. They promised me a harrier jet, but never came through with it.
