I was a maid at a hotel. Our boss insisted we come in a 7 am, even though we were the weekend crew and people checked out later on the weekends. For the first few hours, we had hardly any rooms to clean, so we'd go around knocking on doors to see if anyone who hadn't marked 'check out' had left (it usually happened that half of the people would leave without officially 'checking out' on our papers). Our supervisor hated us waiting around for rooms to check out, so we had to be proactive and look busy. So stupid, I know, I told them how dumb this is and how it would be so much easier if we just started work at 9 am instead of 7 am. I was just a dumb teenage maid, what did I know? 
So, my partner and I (We worked in pairs) listened at the door of this one room that was between 2 check outs. We didn't hear a tv. We didn't hear a shower. We didn't hear any banging around. So we knocked and loudly bellowed, "HOUSEKEEPING!". We waited a few seconds. Knocked and bellowed again. Nothing. One last time, "Houuuuuusekeeeeepiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng!!!!!!"
Nothing. So, I turned the key and opened the door ever so slowly. I peeked around the corner. Nobody there. I looked the other way. Coast was clear. I motioned to my partner to come on in, looked like the room was empty. So we flung the door open and walked in. Just then a guy who was butt naked came around the corner. OMG! We got out of that room SO fast. Of course being teens we were SO embarrassed but laughed our asses off.
Let's just say after that, we were allowed to go to the coffee room to wait for more check outs if we had no rooms left that were checked out to clean. And we got to start at 7:30 am after that.
