Talk about first world problems

A Birmingham engineer was so determined to sleep with his phone by his bedside on a work trip that he rearranged his entire hotel room to make it happen.

Jake Archer was staying gat a Premier Inn in Bridgend, Wales, and was shocked to find that his bed was not positioned near a plug socket.

Paranoid that his phone would run out of battery during the night and fail to wake him up in the morning, the savvy 32-year-old transformed the logistics of his room to ensure that he could charge his phone near his bed.

Photographs reveal how Archer had to push his double bed up against the dressing table in order to reach the sole plug socket in the tiny room.

The newly-refurbished room must have made it incredibly difficult to access the bathroom, which looks almost completely obstructed in the image.

However, Archer insists that it was worth the hassle as he just can’t bear the thought of not being able to reach the snooze button the mornings after his alarm has gone off.

The young engineer travels regularly for work, reports Mail Online, and finds it incredibly irritating when the hotel rooms he stays in don’t have enough conveniently-positioned plug-sockets, which he explains happens often.

“It drives me insane,” said Archer.

“I think this is one of those first world problems that a lot of people find very annoying.”

Though he considered leaving the bed in its newly-positioned home for the hotel cleaners to deal with, he ultimately decided to do the right thing and push it back to its original location.
