You don’t. I’ve seen my fair share of hotel and motel rooms in recent years, and I don’t recall one that didn’t have a standard-issue digital clock-radio.

You don’t?
I’ve been to plenty that have no clocks at all.
Except for one place. A clock in every single room. And every last one of them broken.

Why don’t you reset them if it bugs you?

Trust me, I’d like to. But resetting someone else’s clocks seems a little invasive.

It used to bug me that hotel rooms didn’t have clocks. It seemed like it would simpler for the hotel to buy a bunch of cheapo digital alarm clocks and bolt them to the nightstands than have to worry about giving people wake-up calls.

Where is this true? I have never stayed in a hotel or motel anywhere in the world that doesn’t have an el cheapo clock radio alarm. They aren’t even bolted down.

I don’t know how your girlfriend is but if it was me I wouldn’t have set them out of sheer laziness and would be quite grateful if you took the time to do it!

That’s the problem, then the guest who had the room right before tdn,steals all the damn clocks.
'scuse me, the fucking clocks.

Where does one get a fucking clock? I’ve had clocks with hour and minute hands, digital clocks, alarm clocks, clock-radios with the wake-to-music function, but I’ve never had a fucking clock. Bet it’s a popular item.

You get a special one with two doors. At the hour, a little naked Swiss man comes out the right, and a little naked Swiss woman comes out the left, and they meet in the middle, and …
Dong! dong! dong!

“Honey, do you mind if I reset your clocks to the right time?”
Most McDonald’s have them at the end of the counter on the empty wall opposite the drive thru. Far right end of the registers, in other words (Usually.).

Ask a random customer every 10 minutes or so what time it is?

[hijack]I pit people who ask me the time. Want to know what time it is? It’s time to buy (or wear) your watch![/hijack]

But as I said, the clocks are not missing, they are broken.
