You just might get to stay for free.

Hotel in which you are paired with a complete stranger to share a room for the night or your entire stay.

You are able to stay for free if you find a way to get your roommate to check out, willingly within 10 hours of checking in or 8 hours from specified check out.

No physical fighting or damaging physical behavior is permitted.

Naturally you would pay the full price and a penalty if you check out early. You would have to get your roommate to attest to the fact that you are not checking out under duress in order to not have to pay an early check out penalty.

If you want to switch roommates you can however this costs you.

A history will be kept of repeat customers behavior at the hotel and this information will be utilized to pair you with a more challenging roommate should you request a new one.

Last you sign away your privacy when you check in for the purpose of safety. The hotel owns all HD video camera footage and publishing rights. Each customer is however entitled to a minuscule royalty payment should footage that they are in be televised.

The service is sarcastic and shitty. And you pay more for it. [MikeD, Jul 06 2009]

       British people would, and they would submit to the experience stoically. If asked if everything was Ok, they would respond, "Yes - fine !". They would never complain or make a scene.   

       Then they would relate how horrible it was to everyone they met for years afterwards.

       Hmmm. From this, we deduce that you have never stayed in a small private hotel in an English South Coast seaside resort. You genuinely have no concept of how bad it can be.   

       We envy you.   

       By the way, it's spelled "Fawlty". This is a "pun", or play on words, wherein assonance is used to promulgate ambiguity.

       If any of you British Bakers tour the states, I highly suggest Dick's Last Resort. <link>   

       It would be an excellent opportunity to practice reserved condescension.

       Oh, and ... [-]   

       Although I would definiately win a fight of 'who can be the bigger ass'.

       //Dick’s has always been known for its outrageous, surly, energetic waitstaff who inflict humor upon our guests.// Golly - I expect their really outrageous and have irony and sarcasm down to a tee.

       // ... their really outrageous ... //   

       Their really outrageous what/s? The suspense is killing me.

       I should get extra buns for getting ZT upset.   

       I would check in to stay at this type of hotel.   

       I would visit a marriage arrangement service if I had contempt for the institution and freedom to do so.

       ZT i think that i might have deleted your post in error. I hit the wrong button. Can Jutta restore your annotation? if not tell me how and I will make it up to you.   

       I had to look up /micturated/ some people would pay $500 for that alone.   

       I would stay at this type of hotel for the adventure of it. If one existed in las vegas I would stay there to heighten the experience.

       ZT you are upset, I can tell.   

       The Butt Hopper was about a mechanism of automated variety for people who get stuck in a decision making rut. How is that annoying or adventurous? Positive social impact I say.   

       Happy Ending Park was about framing the thought of suicide in a new way. The "adventure" of a theme park engineered to guarantee your death is a peripheral value-add and not primary. Certain death is the product. I declare the prospect of facing a Kevorkian Style intravenous death drip mechanism is certainly more annoying.   

       In certain moments the thought of an arranged marriage from a sexual perspective is kind of hot. Moreover I have always had trouble with the myriad of ways in which people cheapen the institution of marriage and so I thought to orchestrate a way to take it a step further with an idea that really embodies "cheapened marriage incorporated" its not funny at all how easy it is for people to marry and divorce. - I was inspired by the break up of Jon & Kate and their 8 children, i considered the long term tragic ripples that will inevitably filter through time and effect the world that my children face 25 - 30 years from now. i was thinking that the inability to maintain or frame a thing as "valuable" or set limits in life is a form of mental illness.   

       ZT what about Bum Lid or Clip on ankle mount fans?   

       Solving shallow problems that don't need solving and peppering long winded essay descriptions with jazzy vocabulary words in an attempt to infuse depth, hoping that we will all be entertained is not from my perspective such a clever formula. Neither is attacking people that have views you don't agree with or ideas that you don't like.   

       Just because I have contempt for smokers you have a problem with me. My Mommy smokes and I have contempt for her because of her habit but I still love her just the same. Its not a big deal, I am allowed to be a pragmatic-realist-idealist if I want to be one.   

       Also a device for tracking and zapping mosquitoes within a Cartesian space using sound and lasers is plain foolish and cruel and while possible its not that great an idea and certainly did not deserve 3 buns.

Just so fun to say, and in a variety of voices, too: cockney; Leslie Crowther; doughty Tyke; 'hilarious' Pakistani-Welsh. Top hole, [zen_tom]!
