Getty A Reddit user shared how he says a woman demanded to "borrow" his hotel room after check-in because hers was taking longer than expected to be ready The man refused, saying he didn't know her and felt uncomfortable with the unusual request Commenters called the woman entitled and warned that the situation could have been a scam or a life-threatening risk A 30-year-old man is sharing his unique experience of a woman demanding he let her "borrow" his hotel room, In a post on the Reddit"r/EntitledPeople", the original poster, or OP, describes the hotel where the incident allegedly took place as mid-range, clean, quiet and "nothing fancy." He waited in line behind a woman who was audibly annoyed, he says. He notes overhearing the details, which seemed to involve her room not being prepared in time for her arrival because of "the room type or cleaning schedule." "When it was my turn, the front desk handed me my key without issue as my room was ready early. So, I thanked them and started heading toward the elevator," wrote OP. "That's when she suddenly turned to me and said, 'Wait, your room's ready? Seriously? I've been waiting here, and you just walk in and get one?'" When the OP confirmed his room must have been prepped already, the woman asked, "Can I use your room for like half an hour? Just to freshen up and lie down or something? I've been waiting, and I'm exhausted." Shocked by the ask, he says he apologized and told her, "I'm not comfortable with that." Getty The woman allegedly pressed the issue, asking the OP, "What's the big deal? We're both staying here. It's not like I'm some random person," to which OP doubled down and replied, "Still, I don't know you. I'm not letting someone I just met into my hotel room. You'll have to wait like everyone else." The man went on about his day, but when he saw the woman in the hotel restaurant later, he says she was clearly still annoyed – shooting him "a dirty look." The poster and commenters nearly all agreed that her level of entitlement was unwarranted; however, the bigger issue was the lack of concern for her own safety. "Shouldn't she be more cautious of strangers than me? She didn't know me," the OP questioned in his post. "I could've been anyone. What if I was a creep or worse? Some people have zero awareness when entitlement takes over." Between comments accusing the woman of being a potential scammer who could accuse him of foul play – or worse, her possibly being a serial killer setting up her next target – Redditors were also concerned for the woman's general logic, wondering if she was suggesting the man let her be alone with his possessions in his room. "Are you sure she didn't expect you to let her use your room without you in it? She sounds just a wee bit unhinged," a commenter wrote, to which the OP replied, "Now that you've mentioned it, I'm actually thinking that was what she wanted. I didn't even give her the chance to clarify. I just refused right away because the whole thing felt off. But yeah, it definitely seemed like she expected me to hand over the room and leave her in it alone. Looking back, that makes it even weirder." Though the OP may have made an unexpected enemy, it's safe to say he saved himself and the woman from a situation that would be awkward at best. Read the original article onPeople
