Due to a completely different problem I ended up calling a late arriving guest last night. I wanted to be sure they were actually coming before I put info outside for them. I was treated like a helicopter mom, with sarcasm and eye-rolling (if you were ever a teenager you can HEAR eye-rolling over the phone, believe me!). This is why I have NEVER made it a point to call an adult guest to ascertain their arrival time.
Of course, I could not tell them the reason why I called (to insure THEY were the people who got the info to get into the room and not someone else) because that sounds like we're not in control here.
So, back to business as usual. If you're not here, you're an adult and will be treated as such. No heli-mom.
Which means that after I get back from walking the dog, the folks who are not here, who have not called and who are 4 hours late, will find an envelope with their info in it. And I will be tucked up in bed at a decent hour tonight! (So I can stay awake tomorrow night when the storm hits!)
