Lahore Hotels

The staff in Lahore Hotels are marked by an insanity-inducing obsequiousness. Example:

Last night, as I was retiring to my room after a day that had gone on for far too long, I was stopped outside my door by the floor manager. "What would you like for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Nothing, thank you."

"No breakfast?!"

"No, thanks."

"But we will bring it to your room!"

"I really don't want breakfast."

"Coffee?"

"No, thanks."

"Tea?"

"Nothing, please."

"Juice?"

"No, THANK YOU."

Then, after a night interrupted by noise from the wedding party below and a fairly good-sized 3 a.m. earthquake, I was awakened at 5:30 a.m. by a brisk knock on my door. "Room service! Tea? Coffee?" a man called chirpily.

"GO AWAY!"
