If I put you in room 1212 in New York City, your phone will not stop ringing with wrong numbers.
Why? Well, a surprising number of guests never seem to learn that you have to dial 9 to make an outside call.
So all day and, believe me, all night, idiots dispersed throughout the building will pick up their phones and try to straight dial a local number, starting with 1-212. Whatever they press after that matters not because they have already dialed room 1212, and 1212's guest will constantly pick up the 3:00 a.m. call and hear the loud mashing of other numbers or some drunk guest saying, "Hello? Hello? Who is this?" --Confessions of a Hotel Insider
