The man’s conversation is going viral and people can’t stop laughing at his referencing.

Not knowing the language well when visiting a foreign country can be little difficult to communicate and more often then not, people improvise to get through. One such improvisation has started a laughing riot online, after a visitor tried to complaint at a hotel’s front desk about a mouse and relied on the most common cartoon references — Tom & Jerry. Now, the conversation has taken social media by storm.

The man, staying at Hotel Intercontinental in Britain’s London Park Lane, called the front desk after spotting a rodent in his room. Letting the hotel staff know that his “English is not good”, he asked if they knew about the popular cartoon show only to add, “Jerry is here in my room”.

Baffled by the information and how he described it, the person at reception desk confirmed if he understood correctly. The guest then takes the conversation a level further and while requesting assistance said, “When you come here, bring Tom with you”. To which the the staff very calmly responded, “But we don’t have Tom in the hotel”.
