Ooof, that hurts. That's even worse than when they play 20 questions on the phone but the last question they choose to ask is do you have any openings for xyz weekend and you are already filled. These things could save us so much more time if people would ask about availability first..

Or told us they were bringing a dog. When I ask, 'How many in your party?' I immediately start narrowing down the rooms. So, '2,' means I have any room open. '2. Oh, and our 2 kids,' means I have 2 rooms open. '2. Oh and our 2 kids. Oh, and the dog,' means I have one room that might be available.
Did I tell about the woman who called with herself, husband, 2 kids, mother and dog? When she got to the end of the list I said, 'That does narrow it down quite a bit.' She replied, 'If you don't have room, I'll tell my mother to stay home.' Honey, it's the dog, not your mother!
