Creepy Monday: human hot water bottles

To start your week off on a creepy unsettling note...

Several locations of the Holiday Inn in London are offering a free 'bed warming' service, where a staff member dressed in a fleece head-to-toe outfit that looks like a KKK snowsuit, will on request get into your bed and move around to generate heat and make the sheets less chilly. The hotel describes it as akin to having a really big hot water bottle in your bed.

This takes the idea of inviting a stranger into your hotel bed a whole lot less exciting. Then again, it is the Holiday Inn.

Sure, good intentions here, but what if the white-suited employee falls asleep in my bed? Or I get there early and we startle each other? Do they change clothes as they bed hop? Do they charge for this service?

This whole thing is just creepy. I would rather have the gigantic hot water bottle.

It IS creepy unless my bed warmers are Matt Damon and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

An "as reported Sunday over at injaynesworld" would have been nice. Just sayin'...

No, not an urban legend (I wish), and yes was as reported on abc news (slow news day I guess) and on Jayne's blog injaynesworld, which rocks by the way -- click on her name above to check it out!
