Attack of the Naked Man
I’ve had a lot of strange things happen to me while traveling. But what happened one early morning in Liechtenstein was something completely new.
It’s 6:45 AM in Liechtenstein. I’m sleeping in my bed in my cozy hotel room — actually getting my first decent sleep post-TBU, I should mention — when I’m awoken by knocking.
Loud knocking.
REALLY? At 6:45 AM? I roll over and try to go back to sleep.
More knocking.
It sounds like it’s my door. But who would be knocking on my door so early? There’s no reason why anyone would.
A third round of knocking.
This is ridiculous, I think to myself as I get up, throw on an actual pair of pants, and swing open the door –
Only to find a completely naked man in the hallway.
My jaw drops.
He’s at the next door down, middle-aged, a small towel resting on his shoulder but NOT where it SHOULD be! He turns toward me and I can see absolutely everything.
I slam the door.
I don’t know whether it’s a traditional morning greeting, a hookup gone wrong, or who knows what else. HOW DOES SOMEONE END UP NAKED IN THE HALLWAY?
The knocks continue long after I drop back into bed. But now I’m amusing myself thinking of all the reasons why someone would end up naked in the middle of a quiet three-star hotel in the middle of the principality of Liechtenstein!
What do you think happened?

this happened to me in Leeds in the UK once. turns out the poor guy had slept walk out of his room naked and ended up in the corridor before waking up. I provided him with a towel and rang room service….
at least he wasn’t knocking on your door, givin’ you a little wink
Well…. was he cute or what???
NO!!! :-p
haha, that’s terrifying and hilarious all at the same time.
That’s hilarious! He was probably german – older german men feel really comfortable with their nudity, I mean, they’re even able to spread up naked in the middle of a crowded park!
Everyone feels more comfortable than Americans and Brits, I’ve been told…
Maybe it was a fail of The Naked Man ploy as created by Barney on How I Met Your Mother: http://youtu.be/sTZ8S2dAHUU
Maybe he locked himself out of his room… No wait, maybe he and his wife had an argument and she threw him out and he was trying to get back in ?
Back, sack and crack??
UGH — I am happy to say that I HAVE NO IDEA, ya SP!
His mistress just found out he did not leave his wife after all…
LOL! That’s hillarious! Maybe he was planning a surprise for his mistress but forgot which floor she was on?
I, too, have been seeking for facts about naked men.
