A twin bed is not large enough for 2 guys, duh. I would have requested a King size. he had a right to request a queen size bed since he obviously was paying for the hotel room.

she mentioned it was a room with two double beds
fwiw couples slept quite happily together in DOUBLE beds for decades before queen and king size beds
Obviously if they had been TWIN beds, my comment would not have been made. So duh yourself
ETA: On reading hammer's further expounding of the incident, the front desk clerk is lucky it was him and not me standing in front of her. Her conduct was unprofessional and inexcusable. If it was a franchise of a larger chain their corporate would have heard from me.
In the old testament, god struck a guy down for rubbing one out and having one of his "Seeds" hit the ground. Soooooo
LOL! The story of Onan. That story was used for ages to condemn masturbation.
Speaking of mastubation, did you know that the most common verse used by those Christians who condemn gay people is 1 Cor 6:9.
However, this verse was used for centuries to condemn masturbators, not homosexuals? The first time the word "homosexuals" was (mis)used in an English translation was in the RSV version in 1948. Since then other versions have joined the trend.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor malakos *, nor arsenokoites *, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
* Neither of the Greek words malakos or arsenokoites used by Paul were ever used in secular Greek texts to mean "homosexuals", or were ever used by the early Church fathers to mean "homosexuals". Paul could have used several Greek words if he actually meant "homosexuals", but he didn't.
Oh really? Why not go take a gander at FoxNews.com and look at the comments people are leaving in regard to the story about DADT being repealed. Here's a small sampling from my 1 minute of skimming them:
"I ask all service members who were hoping against the DA/DT repeal. Don't show any support to known gays. Don't talk with them, don't befriend them and certainly don't help them in combat."
"Perhaps we will see an increase in friendly fire incidents. One could only hope"
"Straight people have no rights in this country anymore"
"We find gays revolting...'nuff said and that's reason enough for me."
"How about a camo dirty sanchez for the new guys.... or girls...what ever they think they are."
"Impeach the watermelon eater"
That and countless posts have been "flagged for review" - seemingly because (from reading the response comments that remain) because they were even more hateful than the ones above.
Camo or not you're better off receiving a rusty trombone than a dirty sanchez.
Please don't lump me (a heterosexual woman) in with your hatred of gays... I'm on their side 100% with this debate, and would laugh at the suggestion of protecting us.
You and me both! Though I often do wonder just what they are trying to "protect" us from.

Its funny that most women don't care and aren't scared by lesbians, although there might be a few, unlike alot of guys who are scared to death of gays.
Perhaps no-one has addressed it because it doesn't make a lot of sense?
You appear to be assuming that everyone has to have children.
You appear to also be ignoring the fact that many gays and lesbians DO have children.
You appear to be also ignoring the fact that many married couples are raising children who are not their biological children, either through blended families or adoption.
You appear to be also ignoring the fact that the vast majority of the time people have sex, they are deliberately NOT wanting to "procreate".
Or are you saying that the only time you or "God" wants people to have sex is when they are having sex to deliberately conceive?
1) We were put here to procreate.
2) They have children through adoption, not biologically. I was referring to the fact that you need a sperm and an egg to create a baby, not two sets of sperm or two eggs.
3) God does not approve of divorce, so the blended family thing is a moot point here.
4) God did not intend for people to have sex outside of marriage. Thus, procreation should not be deliberately stopped, since it should not be happening outside of marriage to begin with.
Again, nobody has addressed the question, which is completely valid whether you choose to disregard it or not.
Do you not see the direct contradictions in your statements? You don't discriminate, but they don't deserve equality? Ladies and gentleman, I bring you a PRIME example of hypocrisy at its finest!
If you still don't get it, I'll equate this to something you'd probably understand better... this would be like me saying "I have no problem with abortions, but believe they should be outlawed." or "I don't discriminate against Christians, but they should all convert to Judaism." Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?
Nice strawman.
It's not discriminatory to deny gays the right to marriage. It is not equal to heterosexual marriage. It is not valid. It is not right. The PEOPLE are not the problem, how many times do I have to say this?
