"No Moleste" is a comedic song by Tig Notaro about her experiences staying in hotels in Mexico and the misunderstanding of the phrase "No Moleste." The phrase, which translates to "Do not disturb" in English, is commonly used in hotels to indicate that the guest does not want to be bothered. Notaro humorously describes the feeling of hanging the "Do not disturb" sign on her hotel door, and the awkwardness of realizing that "moleste" can also mean "to annoy" or "bother" in Spanish. She shares a story about a Spanish interpreter who approached her after a show in Omaha to inform her about the alternative meaning of the phrase. Throughout the song, Notaro exaggerates the misunderstanding by imagining a scenario where the hotel staff uses the "No Moleste" signs as a low-budget solution to deal with potential sexual predators in the hotel. The song highlights the humor in cultural misunderstandings and language barriers, and the comedic storytelling captures the audience's attention.
