I've started a list of pet peeves. You may add to it if you wish.
Pet Peeve No. 1: Hair Everywhere!
I'll swear to God that I could knit myself a sweater with all the hair that I collect on the floor in the drains and on every surface of the room. Sometimes there's not an ounce of DNA showing that anyone's been in the room. Other times it looks like someone's been shaving a gorilla in there. Yech.
Pet Peeve No. 2: Why don't linens ever fit the way they're supposed to?
Fitted sheets are either too shallow or too deep. You either have to stretch them until the mattress buckles or you have way too much left over so you have a saggy sheet. I know the box spring is partly to blame, but why can't everything be universal and fit the way it's supposed to.
Bedskirts NEVER have enough of the colored hangy-down part (technical term) available to show so part of the white that goes over the box spring shows around the edges. We're going to resort to those little screw pins to hold the bedskirts in place, but then they'll be too short. I'm going to have to remove the casters off of the bed base in order to lower everything down again.
Pet Peeve No. 3: Do you stain your sheets at home the way you do here?
Last year we raised our prices just to help cover the dry cleaning on SHEETS. These nasty people come here with their greasy, bleachy, colored substances and proceed to ruin perfectly good sheets. Do they do that at home?
Pet Peeve No. 4: Do you people ever bathe?
Two days and not one wash cloth or bath towel is used and the tub is bone dry. Apparently, people are using the washcloths provided for makeup removal to take a sponge bath from the sink. I do think this explains some of the stains. (see Pet Peeve #3)
Pet Peeve No. 5: How much trash can two people generate in a one night's stay?
A lot. I guess I should wear a hazmat suit and sort the trash so some of it could be recycled...but I don't want to.
Pet Peeve No. 6: Read the Damn Confirmation Letter!
This has been discussed on numerous threads, but the directions and instructions are given to you for a reason. When you don't read them, I want to kill you dead with a big rock then charge your credit card to ship your body home.
I feel better now.
