So I look out to my pool area a couple hours ago and this is what I see: My two female guests in the pool with a man I do not recognize. Swimming around with glass beer bottles. My head just about flew off my freaking shoulders, but I took a deep breath and calmly walked outside. Unfortunately, some other guests (who I LOVE!) followed me out to enjoy the outdoors and had to be witness to the very uncomfortable conversation that took place.
Me (to the man): "Hello. Who are you?"
The Man: "Why hello! I am a friend of these purty ladies" (Insert nauseating southern intoxicated drawl, and a tip of the hat - yes, no kidding).
Me: "You need to be their friend off of this property. You need to leave"
Female Guest: "Are you kidding? We can't have a friend here? That's not right."
It went a little downhill from there. I won't bore you with the verbal details, but all three loaded up, soaking flip flops, towels and dripping bodies through the house, all over the wood floors and started to go up the stairs. I stopped the man from going up and told him he had to wait outside for them. I followed the ladies (using that term lightly) upstairs and asked if one of them was sober enough to drive him back to wherever he came from. One of them said she was not and the other (the one that made the reservation and has actually stayed here before) would not speak to me or look up from whatever she was doing on her phone. To show that kind of disrespect after having been here before, and know that this is my home - to bring some drunk man into my house, with no regard for the liability it brings...on top of the way the room looked when I freshened it today (wet towels on bed, piles of sand everywhere, open food packages, decorative pillows on floor, white towels full of makeup - PIGS, PIGS, PIGS!!!). I just lost it. I told them to leave with their friend and I would refund their money. I just wanted them gone. It didn't get too ugly, but man oh man, do I hate confrontation! I hate it when people are disrespectful and when their stupidity affects other guests (as it did outside by the pool).
I've wondered a couple of times if I went overboard, but I really don't think so. There is just no situation in which it is ok to bring a stranger into someone else's home, consume excessive alcohol on private property, and not even look at the owner when she's speaking to you.
