Man Briefly Mistakes Hotel Employee For Interactable Human

A local man is reportedly recovering from a momentary lapse in societal decorum this week after finding himself inadvertently addressing a member of the *service industry*. The gentleman, who prefers to remain anonymous, recounted the harrowing experience of accidentally engaging a hotel cleaner in conversation, a clear deviation from the established protocol of politely ignoring the existence of ancillary personnel. His brain, he admitted, inexplicably registered her as an ‘interactable human’ for a terrifying few seconds.

"It was a complete oversight," he explained, still visibly shaken. "One minute I was contemplating the existential dread of selecting a complimentary breakfast pastry, the next I was making eye contact and, dare I say, *speaking* to someone who clearly exists solely to facilitate my unburdened existence." Sources close to the man confirm he has since resumed his regular schedule of navigating public spaces with the unwavering focus of a drone, thus averting any further unplanned instances of *human interaction* or the unsettling prospect of receiving *customer service* that feels, well, *human*. One can only hope such a significant breach of etiquette in the *hospitality* sector remains an isolated incident.
