#58: Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Hello and welcome to our hotel. Your room, sir, is actually our best suite and it’s located right down the hall to your left… in another dimension. Best of luck finding it! But seriously, is this some kind of superstitious thing? I thought hotels normally excluded the number 13 for this reason, not 17.

A more likely theory as to why this happened than my Twilight Zone theory (though we’re not ruling it out amirite?) is that someone was installing the numbers who was not very detail-oriented. They took one look at the numbers on the wall and said, “Yup, that’ll do it,” and walked away. Nothing triggers our OCD more than these kinds of careless mistakes.
