I have to go to Houston in February on a work assignment. My boss is paying for the trip and classes that I need to take, of course. But as I was making my hotel reservation he comes into my office and asks me, "Would you mind to room with someone that is also taking the course to get a cheaper rate on the room?"
Do people actually do this? Room with a COMPLETE stranger to save a few bucks?? Okay it is actually $100 per day difference. I am only staying two nights... so $200!
I was like, HUH UH...hymn... mouth open. jaw dropped.
Now he does take a lot of these classes, courses, workshops for his business and has roomed with whom ever they room him with. But he is a man, men really don't care I don't think... or do you??
I DO NOT WANT TO ROOM WITH A STRANGER! Should I pay the difference or should I be honest and make him pay for it?
ERK!

I hear they are doing this in some corporate circles.
I would tell them you snore and you are a muslim and have to get up and pray loudly 6 times a night.
LOLOLOL!
I guess a lot of the assistants going are doing this BUT I like my privacy and if I want to pick up a cowboy while there... well ya know! ;-)
I was going to recommend that you tell them you are a drunk and like to sit on the bed and eat cheetos in the nude while watching porn all night.
But, the snoring and praying is probably a better suggestion.
Jay,
How did you know that about me? ;-)
Unfortunately it's true... I have to go to either Atlanta or St. Louis often with my work and becsue I am not considered "senior level management" I have to share a room with complete strangers all the time. Weirds me out becuase I am OCD about germs and things like that... I just make sure that I get up and get my shower first in the morning. I hate it.

I would tell them hell no.
You never know what kind of oddball they'll room you with.... especially it being a man.
Hi jahooni, I found you back! Thanks for the link, I linked you up too.
Anyway, the best way not to share a room with a stranger is to introduce yourself like this.....Cough real hard in hands, then go to shake, and say "Hi, I'm Jahooni, how do you feel about tuberculosis?"
That previous comment was by me. upset waitress
Oh, go for it, share with a stranger, as long as it is not in the same bed!! lol
ZZ Top has a song 'Heaven, Hell Or Houston'. I hope yuour experience will be more like the first one.

This is incredible. Even cash-strapped universities don't make people room with strangers. Time to lay down the law, ma'am.
I would not be happy to share with a stranger - you have no idea what they could be like!
make him pay...that shit's not cool. go find your job description and make him underline the part that says "must room with complete strangers who might just rob and murder me in the night". see if he can.
I have decided to tell him that I wish not to room with anyone. If he doesn't want to pay the differnce, then I shall for my own safetly but I won't be too happy about tit!
Oh my gosh! I can hardly believe that! I would do exactly the same thing. Tell him how you feel and if he still insists then I would pay my own and be MAD too. Sorry!! I think that is WRONG. I had to room with someone once to snored the ENTIRE night long! NO fun!
well.. i think the Muslim thing is funny... and you know, you have to get up at like 3:30 or 4 a.m. to pray, then again at 7... you'll have to turn on all the lights...
pretend you're muslim! ;)
kidding... but i've had to do this before and i didn't like it either. when i went to the grand canyon, i stayed in a cabin w/ 7 total strangers... we all hiked down together and were all seeing the same therapist, but hell, it was terrible, i didn't like them and would never do that agaiN!
I have had to share with a stranger. And to be honest, I didn't mind. We were both single girls in our late 20s (at the time) and we got along well. I am not the sort of person who loves to travel/eat/spend lots of time in a strange city alone so it was good deal for me.
Say something if you are not comfortable with it. I vote for the Muslim excuse - though the drunk excuse is great too.
Thanks Karen for stopping by, let me hop over to you!
I haven't decided what to do. They are thinking of rooming me with my upline Buddy which I will have for an entire year, so I guess that is fine. I guess.
