Here's a good one from Rosemary Zwick:

During my stay at an expensive hotel in New York City, I woke up in the
middle of the night with an upset stomach. I called room service and
ordered some soda crackers. When I looked at the charge slip, I was
furious. I called room service and raged, "Hey, I know I'm in a luxury
hotel, but $11.50 for six crackers borders on the ridiculous!"

"The crackers are complimentary," the voice at the other end coolly
explained. "I believe, sir, you are complaining about your room number."
