A HERETIC I AM

18. The other night I stayed at a hotel where the fire alarm went off at 4:00 AM.

When I checked out I mentioned to the front desk lady that it kind of screwed up my night and I overslept as a result.

"Is there any way I can make it up to you?" she asked.

"Yeah. How about 2000 extra points on my rewards card?"

"I can do that" She said.

I want 2000 rewards points for the inconvenience!

Well, I didn't put up any OP's, so...as far as I'm concerned, the fire alarm didn't go off in my corner of DU.
