Step one cover your private parts.

The fine line between fully nude and ever so slightly covered could be the difference between hilarity and handcuffs.

Step two scan the hallway for room service napkins and newspapers.

In a pinch, a potted plant will do the trick.

Step three knock on your neighbor's door and ask for a towel or robe and for them to kindly call reception for you.

Should that fail, step four, find the maid's closet there in, lie all the sheets and towels you could dream of.

Step five, stay out of the lobby and to call for help and present your wares to the front desk.

Step six, if you must venture from your floor, please take the stairs.

You do not want to find yourself in an elevator to learn to avoid such a predicament yourself, as well as how to overcome nuclear explosions bumping into your ex or you can eat buffets, a zombie attack, getting kidnapped, a job you hate hangovers, a failed parachute writer's block and more.
