The Best of...Chat, Vent, Laugh, Cry[/h4]
What is the most outrageous thing someone has done at your B&B/Inn (a paying guest).
If you wish to remain anon, perhaps it was recent, just mail me from the forum and I can add it to the list for you!
One line title of the THING they did or DID NOT do, and then a description is you want to explain in detail. If you MUST have two, then give us your TOP CHOICE and RUNNER UP in the DUFUS category...
Give it a title, not a book please - THE PROFESSIONAL , ie for BD's story, or whatever...
 
Hi from Virginia Wine Country!
The most outrageous thing that was done to us here at Arcady Vineyard B&B and Wine Tasting Tours was a lovely couple from London bringing us a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine from a vineyard near London.
When you consider that the airlines so restricts what one can travel with, and that they had never met us, we thought that was so totally outrageous that they would go to the trouble to do this! And the wine was lovely too!!

I guess so far it's the woman who spent 28 nights here and, as she left, complained that there's no hair dryer in the bathroom, although there is one, wall mounted right by the lavatory.

I am not sure I would call it outrageous..but maybe most thoughtful. They knew you were a winery and would probably appreciate trying one from their country. I think that is awesome!
 
The guest who kept on emailing me from within the house with more and more demands.
 
This is a tough one!
I think it's the time the older guy (he looked like Captain Kangaroo) that showed up at the front door for his 3 night reservation with a tall, bleach blond waist length haired woman with skin tight clothes, 'ho shoes', and pounds of makeup on. When showing them their room, she sprawls herself on the bed in front of me making jokes about handcuffs and wanted to know exactly where the other rooms were located.
I was in such a panic the first day/night because it was obvious she was a 'professional' and I didn't know how the sounds were going to travel! I found myself getting up out of bed to get close to their at different times to make sure whatever was happening up there didn't disturb our other guests. Over the 3 nights, I never heard a peep! We went into the suite to freshen and they had taken the top mattress off the bed and put it in front of the gas fireplace on the floor, moved furniture and it smelled like a massage parlor. Oh yeah, there was also an escort magazine on a counter and a couple of bags opened up with 'toys'.
Seeing her going and coming from the car after being at the beach in a skimpy bikini was quite a sight. Even on hot summer days, the ocean here is about 45 degrees and the time of year they were here was not hot. I have never seen another bikini anywhere near a beach in our area in 13 years!
It was pretty outrageous
 
Which one?
I think I'll go way back to the cheerleader. Booked for a week, could only pay for 4 nights. Said she had to get money for the rest. Her credit card didn't work.
No car. Said it was no problem to walk 3-4 miles in 4 inch heels. Dressed like she was a working girl. Completely scandalized several long time repeat guests who have never been back.
Used our business phone for tons of personal calls. I would answer the phone and she would tell me, on the extension, that I could hang up, it was for her.
2 different guys showed up looking for her.
1 guy brought grocery store flowers the day her husband sent a huge bouquet of roses. Imagine us on the phone with this guy telling us she's married with 5 kids. Asking us was she ok. Did we think he should send flowers?
The name on her suitcase was not the name she gave us when she made the rez. Because she left it open on the floor I peeked... Tons of sandals, DVD's, negligees and not much else.
Next morning, after the roses arrived, she showed everyone pix of the kids, told me the guy with the grocery store flowers was a loser, gave me the flowers, said her daughter was really smart but she'd be better off being pretty, said she lived in a gated community and was going back to her husband and left 3 days early, much to my immense relief.
Took us close to a week to get the hairspray off the walls, floors, doors and to get rid of the perfume smell.
There is probably more but it was close to 10 years ago!

we have a regular that emails from within - he's very shy but he's very helpful just emails down in the evening so I know what time for breakfast and what time he will be checking out. Easy peasy

Passive aggressive, persecution complex and attempting to use guilt... in each and every email. I assure you that "it" wasn't an attorney.
 
hmmmm ... there were so many but I'll stop at three.
The Night Crawler ... creepy, skinny old man who crept into the kitchen (barely) in boxer shorts for a good night kiss ... who I almost flattened with a frying pan
The Nut ... woman who locked herself in her room ... using this ...

and went ballistic screaming that someone had locked her in. My son would've LIKED to hit her with something.
The TP Thief whose suitcase burst open and a couple dozen rolls of toilet paper bounced down the stairs

I thought it was going to be the dance pole
 
My guests are like us - B O R I N Gggggggg We really have not had any Ooops, just remembered
The brat that managed to lock the deadbolt lock on safety so the key did not work AND had the front (fire escape) window that has 2 latches with one open and the other locked so that entrance was out. Fortunately it had been a warm day for the season and his mother had opened the side window that should have been locked. I had to call the Fire Dept to come with a ladder to go in and open the door on the empty room. (He had slammed it with such force the jam allowed it to close). 2 weeks later we were awakened to pounding on a door. Going to check on it, it was the same family, this time the kid was "asleep" in the back bedroom with the door on safety lock and mother and brother were pounding on the door to "wake him up". I crawled out the window of the bathroom to discover #1 - it was raining and the rain from the roof was dripping down the back of my neck and #2 the window was open and when I yelled at the brat with my body half in the room, he suddenly jumped up and opened the door. They were told to leave the next day. (They had had a fire at their house and the insurance was paying for them to stay.)

I think I'll go way back to the cheerleader. Booked for a week, could only pay for 4 nights. Said she had to get money for the rest. Her credit card didn't work.
No car. Said it was no problem to walk 3-4 miles in 4 inch heels. Dressed like she was a working girl. Completely scandalized several long time repeat guests who have never been back.
Used our business phone for tons of personal calls. I would answer the phone and she would tell me, on the extension, that I could hang up, it was for her.
2 different guys showed up looking for her.
1 guy brought grocery store flowers the day her husband sent a huge bouquet of roses. Imagine us on the phone with this guy telling us she's married with 5 kids. Asking us was she ok. Did we think he should send flowers?
The name on her suitcase was not the name she gave us when she made the rez. Because she left it open on the floor I peeked... Tons of sandals, DVD's, negligees and not much else.
Next morning, after the roses arrived, she showed everyone pix of the kids, told me the guy with the grocery store flowers was a loser, gave me the flowers, said her daughter was really smart but she'd be better off being pretty, said she lived in a gated community and was going back to her husband and left 3 days early, much to my immense relief.
Took us close to a week to get the hairspray off the walls, floors, doors and to get rid of the perfume smell.
