Oh yeah, bugs are...ugh...bugs are bad.

I remember staying at one place where the room had been broken into, so I get there and check in and for whatever reason couldnt open the door.

So I have to go back to the front desk and ask for help because the key wouldnt unlock the door. I didn't think anything of it, that kind of thing happens with key-cards all the time. It was slightly odd because the little light did go green.

Anyways, so I ask the guy at the front desk and he comes with me to the room, and...

"Oh yeah! This room got broken into a while back and they didnt fix the door properly! You gotta put the card in, the handle has to go 'up' instead of the universally known 'down' and then you have to put some body weight into the door to release the lock! Here...see? no problem!"

Am I on a 'murder room' list or something?

But what the hell. I figured...if I can barely even open the door with the key then I'm probably safe.
