I also think that some of the devices we have at home might have this listening function, and that’s why I keep my Vont smart remote-control plugs off when I am not using them. And my phone is listening too. You might call me crazy, but it does, and it uses it to create more relevant ads.

I have been in hotel rooms in developing countries that I am certain were bugged.

I grew up in the country where one would excuse themselves and turn around and pee.

She used to say, "what if someone looks in the window and sees you naked"

I'd say "well that's their fault, shouldn't have been looking"

It is fascinating how different humans sense of privacy importance can be from full nudists to full burka wearing only in the dark.

I’d be more worried if the bed sheets were actually changed with a washed set when the room was cleaned than the hotel bugging the room.

Then I realized they were spying on me and my wife. I had to turn the volume up really loud on the radio to tell her. Her reaction was hard. It was a tough break but we got out. A vacation in the Caribbean was fun but they watched me there too.
