Do you ever wonder if your friends and acquaintances are leading secret double lives and are secret agents for organizations that don’t officially exist?
No?
Well, I don’t really wonder about that either. But for some reason I do always feel a tinge of guilt whenever I call a hotel looking to speak to my friend who is a guest there, and I ask for them by their real name. I mean, what if the friend checked in under an assumed name and I am totally blowing the cover? Wouldn’t I feel like the jerk for compromising his or her safety (even if it was unintentionally)?

Depending on the practices of your friends, when you ask for them by their real names, I would think you would be more likely to risk stirring marital or relationship trouble rather than placing your friends in espionage-related mortal danger.
How often are you calling hotels looking for your friends?
@ Meg
Twice…daily.
@ Conall –
I find that hard to believe. The frequency with which I ring anyone twice in one day is very rare. And yet you claim to ring various hotels twice a day on a daily basis. Surely, you jest.
@ Conall
Why don’t your friends have cell phones?
@ Liam
I concur.
@ Meg
I DO have their cell phones! I have had them since they left them at my house and so I have been trying to call their hotel twice daily in attempt to reach them to arrange the safe return of their property.
