Blame it on the advent of boutique hotels who started to employ too cool, dressed only in black bellhops to man the doors and cart your luggage to your rooms.

Because now whenever we see a bellhop in an authentic uniform, complete with a goofy cap, we can't help but wonder what who actually likes to see these costumed getups on the hotel staff? And isn't it just a bit humiliating?

Take for instance this bellhop at the New Otani Tokyo Hotel. Although he sure seems happy in his job, we can't believe he puts that cap on every day.

However, he's not alone. This week we'll be bringing you pictures of some more humiliating bellhop outfits. Hope your eyes can handle it.
