We have had some hotel clients complain about nuisance tripping in hotel rooms and corridors when the cleaning people were operating vacuum cleaners.
A related issue is tamper-resistant receptacles. Same hotel client received a lot of complaints from guests having trouble pluggin in a two-prong plug.
