Here is my cover story. "I am going to see a hooker and most likely get too drunk to drive myself home"

You sound like one of the many dopey johns here who worry how to walk through a hotel lobby.

There are times when I care what people think about me, mainly when those people can impact my life. Taxi cab drivers and Hotel clerks don't impact my life.  

When asked a question that I don't feel I want to answer, I ask back:   "Why do you ask?"

You sound so stressed I don't know how you could possibly enjoy yourself
If you are getting so many looks from über drivers and hotel workers maybe you need to tone down your appearance
Don't be so paranoi

Some people allow others to interrogate them, others do not.

and thinking back to a few of the Asian GF's I have had, there are a couple of them who also would take a tenth of the shit you are describing. Neither of the ones I am thinking of were hookers, although I have had several Asian hooker GF's and none of them had any of the issues you are talking about either and they were constantly in and out of hotels.

I didn't even realize it had a name. But yes it's good for all kinds of things...like when my hair stylist asks if I'm working today because I am in there in the middle of the day. Or the dental hygienist. Or when you have to make an appointment and can do it when everyone else normally can't. Everybody gotta know what you do for work lol People be nosey!

Ugh. Fuck. Ugh.

You have heard me gripe about a LOT of shit over the years, but have you ever heard me claim I get mistreated because I have slanted eyes? Caveat, talking about shit that happened forty years ago in the deep south doesn't count. That was a different world living in "Coonassville in the 1970's with slanted eyes" That was a level of bigotry and racism someone as young as her will NEVER understand, but it doesn't apply to the world today for the average Asian or person of Asian descent.

What I'm doing, and I owe NO ONE an explanation, unless LE is asking me questions...and per my attorney, I only give LE (if questioned) my name, driver's license, and nothing more!  If I'm ever arrested, I'm to keep my mouth shut, until my attorney arrives at the police station and I discuss the arrest with him.

I had a ton of nervous habits that caused questioning and interrogation to the max. On dates, at church, within family - that was due to a lack of boundary setting.

Everybody likes a decked out chick who talks to them, especially male drivers. lol!

I've seen her pics, and I will leave it at that.

unless you really think "none of your business" is a good response to a benign "what brings you to our hotel / town" question, it's always good to be prepared.

parking / traffic tickets
CC charges
bumping into someone you know.

n my case - as I do speak with accent and dressed always as I am a wealthy celebrity ( elegant and sexy yet conservative ) I ALWAYS have ALL eyes on me.  

I've met plenty of males where you look at them crosseyed, and they are on their knees giving you every detail they think you're asking in your head, begging others to accept them. But you're just standing there like "wtf I didn't even ask you anything." lol!

I've never once had an Uber driver ask me anything about my trip as you describe, and I use Uber a lot. I certainly have never felt as if any of my Uber drivers were trying to collect any kind of "intel" on or about me, they are just regular people doing their best to make a buck, just like most everyone else. I guess I'm just not that interesting.

An "unwritten rule". A couple bucks can go a long way.

and you are absolutely right, as far as the guys go, there are literally hundreds of posts, maybe even thousands right here on GD, made by guys terrified of their own shadows when walking through a hotel lobby or airport. and a lot/most of these guys are "old white guys"

They're brutal...and would demand your itinerary and likely a cavity search  LOL

When going through Canadian Customs they asked the purpose of my trip, I told them the truth, I was there on business. I was detained for more than 90 minutes, because when they asked me what kind of business, I told them that I was giving training to our Canadian facility's personnel. Big mistake, huge, they really seemed to have a problem with me giving training to their fellow Canadians, not sure why, but it caused me undue delay.  

"I'm schizophrenic. So if I look nervous and paranoid, I probably am. In fact, what's real is not real, and what's not real is. By the way. I'm Agent #16. How is your day going?" LOL

"I'm here to cheat on my husband."
"I'm still kind of "in the closet" so to speak, so I use hotels, so my neighbors don't ask questions."
"I hate my roommates."
"I hired a baby sitter because I can't do the whole kids thing today."
"I'm here to shop."  
"I'm here to dance like nobody is watching."

Is it even possible she thinks she would (her words)  "would be removed from the hotel for acting like a crazy Asian bitch" for simply being assertive and confident???  
   
Are there massive amounts of young Asian girls being tossed to the curb from hotel lobbies for showing gumption and tenacity that I don't know about?  
   
Has modern day leftism/feminism on college campuses and in the culture at large succeeded to such a degree as people no longer take personal responsibility for there own shortcomings?  
   
I don't know if she deserves my anger or pity.  
   
.

I Never feel obligated to give out information or explain anything.

If I run into someone I know in a local hotel, if they really know me, they already know what I am doing there. lol

Or a drunk like me for that matter. lol

When a receptionist or uber driver, or in fact anyone, asks why I'm in a certain place at a certain time I don't think they're asking to try to 'read' if I'm an escort, partly because I never really dress like one, but mostly because I know from life experience that most people are just making small talk. The person asking is probably actually having an anxiety attack about whether you've noticed a big pimple on their chin. People are inherently self absorbed so I never worry.
Hotel staff have seen EVERYTHING- they don't appear to give a damn

Love your response Courtney! I agree with the 'open' and 'closed' behaviors, as well as our ability to request privacy. Sometimes I will chat with my drivers and checkin clerks. Sometimes I don't have a problem letting them know I don't want to be bothered. Either way, they generally respond appropriately to whatever behavior I am incitng at the moment.
Definitely don't be afraid to insist that others respect your privacy, aside from TSA, of course 😉

I love your answer. Your first paragraph i see in totally different way. From my perspective (and I'm not doubting yours just showing you mine) I see it as them making assumptions about what your thinking and taking it from there. You are right, you don't have to say a thing. But I have never viewed that as begging. But..if you have a certain look about you they impose (project) onto you the personality they think you have. If you have a certain body type, they may feel sorry for you and project onto you that others have too (felt sorry for you) and then they treat you accordingly. Or they may assume that you have been catered to all your life and are now feeling entitled to that treatment, once again. They project onto you what they think, without confirming that they are correct or wrong, and treat you accordingly. (this is not just males by the way)

If I'm in Uber I obviously don't say what I'm doing because I'm going into a hotel so that would be indiscreet. Usually just say I'm going on a date....not really a lie lol. I rarely work out of hotels thank God because it makes me nervous but I have used the excuse that house is being painted or something since they see by my id that I am local.

Or even the OP. "You" is plural, to whomever wants to read it.

Me: "Duh. It's Vegas."

I had that with a cop in Sacramento. "What are you doing in Sacramento?" "I'm looking for a motel." "What are you doing in California?" "I'm on vacation." "What are you doing in the west?" "I'm on vacation touring in the west." Etc, etc.

on several continents and NO ONE has ever asked me what I was doing there.

I mistreat you all the time because you have slanted eyes.
You generally mistreat me right back.  It's most fun when drunk, but quite OK when sober.

It is both true that you mistreat me and that I have slanted eyes, but my slanted eyes are not the "reason" you mistreat me, nor would I throw you in the oven just because you are a kike. It's just a happy coincidence.

I'm in the witness protection program and I need cash for purchases including my rent.

Well, I don't mistreat you ONLY because you have slanted eyes.  I also mistreat you because you're an asshole.  Which you admit.  So there's that.

That - is - funny lol

with a woman next to them helping them spend the money.

Must be the way you guys look. I've never spent more than about 10 minutes for the interview regardless of how I answered. Hell one time I went across with an expired passport and they didn't bat an eye -- trying to fly be was another story but that was the airline being dicks.

And, I haven't used "in a dogs age" in a long time either.

I had to think about it just now, but there's never been an occasion that I've had a young hottie checking in with me.  

I also call him "Wu.

Look up online for a conference and be very specific.  I am here for the National Dental Physicians Association at the Marriott.  It was explained to me that if you just say business, they don't know if you're going to overstay your visit as its a 'code' term to them for people that don't understand the immigration system.

Put on a black skirt, white shirt, black jacket (no leather), leave the hooker shoes in your luggage, and just say you're in sales, as in office supplies, postage meters, copiers, 'white boards', and you're set.  Also, see if there is a convention in town and just say you're exhibiting.

I Googled "uber drivers and prostitution".  From what I've seen for the most part they don't care...but one wanted to give a one star after he realized the women he drove were hookers.  The other drivers layed into him and said it was none of his business.  I had a 5 star rating till recently when it dipped to 4.96.  I think it was an issue with the driver not being able to find my place even though I gave him clear instructions.  From what I've read drivers usually give you less than 5 stars because you take too long to come out, you are too quiet or you don't tip (which is ridiculous because it's not required).

Me: Hookers and blow.

Giving a low rating for being too quiet seems significantly more ridiculous than doing so for not tipping.

And the OP clearly doesn't.  
Cover stories get more difficult when you are a 6' TS.  
As a former cop that'd be sparking questions from me late at night.  
Uber drivers don't care, walking with confidence into any hotel lobby avoids issues, in my experience.

Some view it as being unfriendly I suppose.  I'm not much of a talker but I make it a point to chat with uber drivers a little bit.

I also have the t-shirt. lol

You're right, I don't understand that. Because I observe how women actually act, and how the world acts back at them, as opposed to how you think they've been "socialized."

GaG could not agree with you more about Canada I learned my lesson a few years back.

Every time I've traveled an met a provider if the hotel clerk, Uber or whoever asks I just tell them I'm there for a sporting event. I usually have a car so don't have to uber from hotel to hotel but I would go with the story that I'm meeting a friend for dinner. Correct, attitude is the key. I've never felt like I was being interviewed or interrogated as to why I was there.
