Naked man locks himself out of hotel room. (Video)

"How can I have a driver's license? I'm naked; man".

Poor guy.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this man's dilemma is a real, or contrived situation. However, it is too horrifyingly funny (in a nightmarish sort of way) to not share, fake or no... Also, while not 'news' exactly, this group seems an appropriate place to park the video, given all the naked-man stories we read about in here.

The Mr. Bean bit was classic. Right up there with Whistler's Mother.

I suspect the reactions of the other people would have been different. Especially the employees at the front desk. They likely would have called their security and/or the cops, if they had any question of him being an actual guest. I imagine they also would have immediately whisked him away, somewhere out of sight of the other guests.

And why attempt to go to the front desk in the first place? He could have limited his uhm, exposure by appealing to anyone in the hallway to get him some help from a staff member.

I once had an dream similar to this, though- In it, I had pajamas on, fortunately. But I happened to be in a foreign country, and no one capable of helping knew how to speak english. I can laugh about it now, but the dream had a nightmarish quality to it at the time.

Why did he feel the need to put the tray around the corner? Just leave it in front of the door! Move it if needs must when you leave in the morning!!!

But they are good ones. Why in the world put the tray that far away from the door?

I guess I was a little hasty in posting. None of these things occurred to me until after.

Oh well.

The video is superb--it sure looks real even if it is an invention. And maybe the guy IS just a moron....

Supposedly being nekkid in public is one of those classic nightmares!!!!
