Do any of you have a sign that you hang up when you've turned in yourself for the evening? What does it say? We want to let guests know that we've gone to bed but of course to contact us if it's an emergency. Sometimes they're just plain stupid reasons to wake us up. I've had guests ring the bell to get us for the following:
1 - Wanted me to make him more cookies at 10:30pm. I had already gotten into my PJs and was falling asleep. Assumed it was an emergency so got dressed ran downstairs to find him standing their with the last cookie but he wanted more.
2 - Guest about 11pm knocked to ask me to get him more firewood because his girlfriend "likes big fire in the fireplace" - I had put in the last log an hour before and lowered the air intake to allow it to burn all night and keep the place warm. He wanted a roaring fire - told him no way was I going out in the dark to wrestle bears for firewood - she'd have to enjoy it as it was. We don't keep firewood in the room and allow guests to stoke it themselves because they don't know how to control the levers and let in smoke.
3 - Last week a guest knocked at 11pm, again asleep. He needed Benadryl for his girlfriend because they had stayed in our hot tub for 3 HOURS and she was having a reaction. This after my hubby mentioned after 2 hours that they shouldn't stay in so long. Obviously, this guy would knock anyway but it's more about the others.
Since I'm up from 6am until at least 10pm, after 10pm I really only want you waking me up if the house is on fire not because you want cookies.
