Many hotels and some shops there is the bell. What classic movie, that when you give him a nudge above produces a nice DING!
People are always a bit 'intimidated by the bell, so do not dare to play it because it seems to bother. Then there are those who enter and not finding anyone at the reception, consider the bell as a last resort.
From that moment the game starts .
The rule of the game is only one: to try to make themselves heard without use the bell.
If someone comes out, you win.
If you are forced to ring, you lost.
The methods most commonly used are these:
- Pretend to enter again, but using heavy steps, and closing the door noisily
- If you have a bunch of keys in hand, fiddling and let them jingle
- Flick cough
- Tap your fingers on the counter
- humming or whistling something
- pretending to talk on the phone "Hello, I just arrived at the hotel!"
In short, there are people that to win the game shows off all of his fantasy score.
The other day I was sitting at a table in a cafe-bakery and the baker went into the kitchen to fiddle with the cakes.
Enter a woman and, seeing no one behind the counter, looks a bit 'around with bewildered.
Then suddenly he sees the bell:
START: The game has begun.
Mrs. sees me and choose to use a classic technique. I wonder (out loud of course): Listen, know if there is' someone?
E 'fall into the trap, now I can lose. Le dico:
"E' andato dietro cinque minuti fa, ma c'è lì un CAMPANELLINO apposta per chiamarlo"
Ora la signora non può continuare a far finta di non averlo notato. Mi bofonchia un "Ah,si,è vero... grazie" e dà un timido colpetto al campanello. DING!
Game over.
A quel punto mi alzo in piedi, la indico e le dico:
"AHA! HAI PERSO!"
Poi è arrivato il pasticcere e così non ho sentito cosa mi abbia risposto la signora.
