While staying in this alpine hotel – wood walls, creaky floors, and the kind of bedding that smells like snow and cedar – I discovered an unusual wooden spoon fire alarm trick. You know the type.
I dropped my bag, threw myself on the bed, and took in my surroundings—then I saw it.
A wooden spoon dangled from a string (like a toy) on the wall. Not decoration, not accidental. It was affixed and seemed like someone anticipated that I would pull it.
For a moment, I thought it was a fun, quirky coat hook. Then I noticed the string disappeared into the wall. Not a coat hook.
