Holiday Inn at airport giving really bad vibe?

[Muchadoaboutnothing]

Police scanners are digital and encrypted these days so you can't listen in anymore. With enough effort, I'm sure someone can crack that encryption though. If you're going to the trouble of decrypting emergency broadcasts, then you should just stay home because your own shadow might scare you.

It’s not listening. It’s watching a thread /feed of words. Ie. queen and Shaw -police on site- domestic Bathurst and Queen-gunshots heard , yonge and shuter- car theft, suspects missing etc

So how do you get into the lobby in the first place without buzz code? If security sees you come in by following someone they might question you, or even ask you put down your name, I've had that. I think it's way better off to wait outside as if you're waiting for somebody, it's out of the security's jurisdiction.

Definitely had this happen at some buildings. They will ask me to put down my name and the room and sometimes have verified them and there if it’s correct

There's a professional way to be a John? Nobody tells me anything.

Well you’re either a John deer or a John Doe

Back in the day, their rising arm barrier on the exit side had a loophole: the gap was large enough to allow a sedan to squeeze through, so I never paid for parking on numerous occasions, I go there less these days but dunno if they had me on file, that's why I get nervous seeing those parking enforcement assholes, and that's why I lift up the hood of that hoodie when I enter the parking lot in an attempt to cover up my face in front of that camera.

I don't wear sunglasses, hoodie and mask in the lobby, I'm not a moron, but you can definitely wear sunglasses and mask in the car as you enter the parking lot, it's my private space.

Oh god. So even your car screams “impaired”. I’ve seen idiots drive fast through thinking the arm will just bounce up in reflex only to zip out of the underground with a dented car broken mirror and windshield and all caught on the camera of the door. You ARE a moron. if you leave without paying parking I can only imagine how many times you’ve shortchanged anyone

Made a list of restaurants near the Holiday Inn:

Milestones
Makimono Sushi Bar Restaurant
St Louis Bar & Grill
Perkins
Swiss Chalet
Subway
Quesada Burritos & Tacos
Harvey
Silver Chopsticks Pho Mi Viet Thai
Sushi-ya Japan

I highlighted the top 4: the first 2 are near Toronto Congress Centre, 3rd one is in the plaza on the opposite side of Holiday Inn, 4th one is inside Holiday Inn, I believe these 4 can be used as excuses that justify me being be in the area. The rest are either fast food or things I don't normally eat.

The word normal has a different connotation for you my friend. Whomever you're attempting to give an excuse /lie to - doesn't believe you, if your rationale is communicated in an way like it is in this thread lol

I've been at that location a few times. It really is a bad hotel for clients wishing to blend in.

If I was stopped by a friend or family member, there is zero reason why I should be there. No restaurant, no starbucks, no coffee shop. I know that if I ran in to a male friend, chances are he is there for the same reason. But, I still want to say that popped in for a coffee or meeting someone at the bar. In my head, I can sell that.

Secondly, the exits which are closer to the rooms is great for a quick departure; however, one must navigate that large parking lot to enter the lobby. Again, odd to not park near the entrance.

It is a looooong walk from the lobby to the room, passing staff who know why you are here and others who may include the odd client.

The place has the vibes of a sleazy hotel.

Honestly, I stopped seeing ladies who hosted from this location.

Best place IMHO is Sandman. The hotel is off the main strip with access from the rear right, close to the elevators with limited view of the front desk desk. Walk in with a coffee and head to the elevators.

The hotel and a restaurant share the lot. Easy explanation should one crosses paths with a friend/family/colleague.

Btw, I've seen a lady and the met up with the boys at the bar.

Hope the agencies are reading this...

Same with delta airport or maybe it’s Hilton airport which is across from a conference centre and has two or three restaurants inside Open late. Near the highway and has meeting rooms.

Because your ways are dangerous and amateurish...I ran into my colleague in a hotel 500 km from my home in Ottawa during Winterlude.

What if a cop questions you? You're meeting a work colleague from out of town, give me a name, let's see if the guy is a hotel guest. What name do you give? Amber aka Jessica Rabbit? You would have blown your cover right there. And you're sitting the lobby reading Terb FFS...any cop would look at your phone and immediately figure out you are a john. You're way better off saying you're trying out Perkins.

Sitting in a condo lobby 80 km away from your home when you don't know anybody in that building, you cannot even talk yourself out of this one. If I were you, I would get the fuck out of there ASAP, in case of a police raid, you won't get picked up.

Again, if you aren’t drawing attention. You do have some amount of rights and freedoms (to remain silent ?).
what’re the chance you and the colleague were both there for a work related conference ? lol same department ? Maybe he Lives there ? I mean I’ve seen a childhood friend driving on the 401 heading east- a major major rare likelihood but it can happen.

I said "at an incall", not "during a big national touristy celebration".

You tell the cop politely that it's none of their business where you're going or what you look at on your phone. They can't do shit. They may try to intimidate you, but if you don't know the law or know your rights, then you deserve to fall victim to their bullshit.

See above. It's even easier to tell the cops to fuck off in a condo where you got buzzed in. If you were me you wouldn't be this ignorant, but you're not so you are.

 

[Muchadoaboutnothing]

You tell the cop that your wife kicked you out for cheating which you never did so now, you found a sugar momi to really cheat.
IF that is a problem for him (cop) , tell him you are at loss, and you cannot give him your copy of a bible.

He will ask to come up to the hotel room which has a spare copy

I planned to withdraw some cash from a bank in the evening, they locked the door because of homeless people so I couldn't access the ATM inside.

I planned to fuel up at a certain gas station, the pump was not working, I have to fuel up at a different place.

I was driving on a country highway on a business trip and almost got killed by a big truck, I did not anticipate that.

You can get killed by a rogue wheel too

Point is, things don't go as planned, and when the raiding does happen, I do not want to be a part of it. I had many sessions with ladies, doesn't mean I will be complacent.

I'm experienced in dealing with hotel staff and concierge. and I don't care for them. I brought up the cleaner looking at me suspiciously because I usually try to remember as many hotel staff's faces as possible, and I figure out their duties through observation, so that I know who is who. It's just a detail I remembered: she is not friendly.

Other than the fact that I never paid a single cent for parking at that place all these years, it's really the guy with dark complexion that bothered me most, sometimes when locking eyes with some shithead with crazy eyes, it creeps me out. Many years ago we hired this guy, and he looked like he wants to kill somebody, I'm glad the dumb fuck quit the job after only one day.

Your last paragraph is just adding to us now having a more negative character Profile of you. Dark complexion, dark features, creeps me out, shithead, crazy eyes. dumb fuck
how Does this post about your coworker add to this thread ? Where is your mind?

he probably eventually did want to kill you because you’re putting him on edge (if he even exists or if he is just everyone other than you ).
or he’s giving the “are you fucking kidding me ?!” Look to you because he can’t believe your whack ass is still showing up and enacting this role.
scarier would be if YOU are a cop. Sounds like an American headline especially.

Yeah DUUUHHH!!! It's been explained already by our totally rational OP! Dress like The Unabomber, run away from anyone who looks at you funny, don't pay for parking like some sucker (even though a parking ticket puts you on the radar far more than paying $4 to park), memorize every building in a 4km radius in case you need to park/hide/escape/rationalize, umm... I don't know what else, the OP never actually mentioned successfully booking and fucking anyone.

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

This thread has been highly entertaining. I don't know if the OP is a moron or troll. I hope it's the latter. I'd rather live in a world where someone was brilliant enough to come to with such fantastic tales to enthrall us. The alternative is that someone is stupid enough to believe this shit.

Mini Cooper like Mr Bean. That would be a great disguise too.

You forgot: memorize the internal layout of those buildings and what each employee looks like, does and their routines. All things a normal person does of course

100% agreed!
I can’t believe this thread is still going 6 pages deep now. It’s been the gift that keeps on giving.

Those suckers spend 20 dollars for some food and get their parking validated at Perkins, I spend 300 dollars and no validation, it does not make sense, parking should be free for all.

It’s not listening. It’s watching a thread /feed of words. Ie. queen and Shaw -police on site- domestic Bathurst and Queen-gunshots heard , yonge and shuter- car theft, suspects missing etc

Interesintg, I wasn't aware of that. Though if you're the type that watches those feeds on your phone, then someone like the cops "might" notice you sitting around like they would if you were looking at Terb

 

[pqsquared]

...there is a Perkins right there. I've never eaten there. Apparently it's a chain (just found out today) and there is only one in Toronto. You can say you're trying out the Perkins.

I think I'll do it next time, take a few photos of their menu, memorize their special items, so that I can come up with an excuse of "trying out their amazing food, it's recommended to me by a colleague".

if you did this in my circles, they’d know right away you were bullshitting. Would be like going to “Tim Hortons to try their amazing coffee”

Had that line ready in my back pocket. But like Denny's, no one would be that I frequent this establishment.

Other great covers. And don't forget the Starbucks!
