Not that big a deal but here goes.
Joe and I were staying at the BWI to celebrate our anniversary in high falootin' style. I had called ahead and had asked if at all possible, we'd like a room with a king bed. When we checked in, the cast member (a perky, very cute young lady) went through the motions, conducted the busy as per norm, then did a double take. She said, "I see that you're room is ready, but they put you two in a king room." Looking at us up and down with a smile, she joked, "Now I KNOW you two didn't want to sleep together so let me fix that for you guys." And she giggled to herself.
I quickly jumped in and said, "Actually, I requested a king room. We're celebrating our 13 anniversary on this trip! Please don't change it!"
She looked up at me, smiling, thinking at first that I was joking but when she saw I wasn't, she did her perky double take and started stuttering, "I'm so... sorry... not sorry that... y'know, that you're... I mean... no... I mean, I'm sorry I.... a king room... I assumed....." Joe was trying so hard not to snicker behind me so I just leaned in and said quietly, "Don't be embarrassed, it's an honest mistake. I know we looked like soccer dad's on a golf trip." Which made Joe crack up rather loudly.
She and I ended up joking about it and after she had her composure back, said, "Here are you room keys, and I am really, really sorry I made such an assumption. I know better. Some of my best friends are.... y'know." And in a stage whisper, she and I both said at the same time, "GAY?!"
It could have been awkward but it was just a mistake which ended up making us all laugh. She really was a trouper after we corrected her and she made up for it by switching our room, still in a king of course, to one with an absolutely specacular view of Epcot. And she sent up a platter of chocolate covered strawberries and a chocolate "picture" of the Boardwalk. She also sent along a note wishing us a happy anniversary.
We saw her later and she said that she hopes she helped make our day a special one. She definitely did!
