Someone did this and suddenly everything we thought we knew is wrong
You know the drill – you open the door to your hotel room but the lights won’t work until you put your keycard in the little switch thingy on the side of the wall.
Except, well, just take a look at this.

Turns out it doesn’t have to be your keycard and all these years we’ve never had a clue.
The sliver of reassurance we are clinging onto is that we are not the only ones who never knew this. You?
This changes everything.

I use old rail tickets – so doesn’t matter if you leave them accidentally

I’ve been using a nectar card for about a decade… genuinely thought it was common knowledge ♂️

Well I never.
Didn’t everybody learn this the first time they pushed the card in and felt the click of the physical switch?? There’s no logic in there

Even this guy didn’t know and he’s in Peep Show for goodness sake.
I’m 58 tomorrow and I didn’t know this

Fucking furious about this tbh

Except some hotel owners are onto it.
And whatever you do, probably best not to try this.
I used to carry extra business card and shove them in. Once I even used the butter knife from the kitchenette for it!

To conclude …
I absolutely did not know this. Total gamechanger pic.twitter.com/lzdLvts1kF
