    One bad apple, or why guests force policy changes

    EXACTLY! I have a whole "comedy" routine - same "gags" in the same places, usually provokes the same smiles and chuckles, but every once in a while you'll just get a couple who're dead behind the eyes. How ever these people meet and are attracted to each other I have no idea. Have been a bit out...

    One bad apple, or why guests force policy changes

    Oh my God, that is SO awful and utterly disgusting and disrespectful - not to mention they clearly shouldn't be allowed to own a dog. So sorry these hideous, vile people put you through the gut-churning job of cleaning up their revolting filth. I'm with Camberley - charge with an itemized bill...

    The Stupidest Questions You Hear...

    All the time people point at the gas fireplace in their room and ask: "Does that work?" Or, when I get to the How To Turn On The Fireplace part of the check-in they'll say, in surprised fashion, "Oh! That works does it?!" The first time someone said it to me I just thought they were a bit weird...

    I did it and I'd do it again...

    Couldn't agree more - and a timely comment too as one of the radio shows I regularly listen to on podcast (gotta block out all that toilet-cleaning somehow) had an interview today with the woman who wrote this article: The Snark Diet. And it got me to thinking, generally/overall, doesn't "snark"...

    So sorry for your loss JB. My deepest condolences.

    Hi Joey - I'm here!!!! I think Draper's case might fall more into the Bullets Dodged category! I am totally with DD on this one - it really sometimes isn't worth it for one night's room rate when you're otherwise empty to go to all the effort to get ready, hang around waiting for a check-in...

    How do you answer weather questions?

    Agree with all of the above. We say exactly what Breakfast Diva said.

    Old School

    How completely fabulous - well deserved compliments for all your hard work, I'm sure. Thank goodness that the lovely guests of this world are in the majority. We've just had a house full of happy smiley people and what a fabulous experience it is to have a home awash with laughs and joy. A very...

    Innkeeping Pet Peeves

    Eye make-up remover does indeed work, and is what we used (the cheapest we could find) for a veeeeery long time. But we finally got bored of the expense, so what we do now is hoard all the little half-used guest soaps in a pot in the laundry room and don rubber gloves, wet the towel and give it...

    One year.

    Congratulations!!! Totally know what you mean AI - we're also several years in, and I said just the other day that I've realised I suddenly no longer get butterflies when I see the check-in people pulling into the drive, no longer come out in a hot/cold sweat with the...

    Weird Breakfast Question

    I agree that it sounds like a lot of carbs and that chicken for breakfast sounds a bit odd - but maybe it's a cultural/regional thing. For all the non-red-meat eaters you mention, and the non-egg people, that seem to be out there we came up with (or, more likely, stole/adapted from I forget...

    Innkeeping Pet Peeves

    We're with you too. The towel things drive me NUTS - I constantly wonder if I am the only revolting, disgusting creature in the world who uses a towel multiple times. These towels are not dirty, people, they are just DAMP. I once had to throw out (well, downgrade to dog towels) three, count them...

    Frustrating moment and a nice moment

    OH. MY. GOD. How is it that there are so many awfully behaved and insensitive/stupid people in the world? I bet it never even occurred to the note-writer that their words might hurt your feelings - what the hell is wrong wth people??? So totally impossible not to be angry/frustrated/hurt by...

    Not Seen and Not Heard

    Now THAT I'm dying to hear - the more inappropriate the better. I'm sure there's something to be written along the lines of "'Twas the night before Christmas" about those people who just will not get out of their damn rooms - have never got much further than: "'Twas the morning of check-out And...

    Thanks too DD - y'all give us faith that we're really not the sociopaths we feared we might be!
