The Psychopath Test: a Journey Through the Madness Industry
“When I arrived, there was no sign of him in the foyer. The queue for the front desk was long, a lot of tired, unhappy-looking business travelers checking in late. I couldn’t see the house phone. Then I had a brainwave. The concierge’s desk was unoccupied. His phone was sitting there. I could dial zero, go straight through to the front desk (callers to hotel front desks invariably get to jump the queue: we, as a people, seem more enticed by mysterious callers than we are by actual people standin...g in front of us) and ask to be put through to Bob’s room.
But I got only as far as picking up the phone before I saw the concierge marching fast toward me.
“Put down my phone!” he barked.
“Just give me a second!” I cheerfully mouthed.
He grabbed the phone from my hand and slammed it down.
Bob appeared. I made a big, suave show in front of the concierge of greeting him.
“Bob!” I said.
We were two courteous business travelers meeting for important reasons in a hotel late in the evening.MoreLess
