Vent warning!
We have a couple who spent New Year's Eve with us 5 years ago (our first as innkeepers). As we were foolish newbies we made a package of it and actually had a little cocktail party here (noisemakers, hats, food champagne) and ended up basically being the show for the whole night for everyone who was here. This particular couple, while indeed very sweet, are SO CLINGY. That night they never left our side.
In the 5 years since, they have NEVER ONCE stayed here with us again. They only live about 1.5 hours away and come to our area frequently for day trips, and every time they do we get a surprise visit from them. Yesterday we got one of their infamous drive-by visits. We are trying to get people checked in and DH is dealing with leaves and here they come.
You CANNOT gracefully get rid of them. They talk, then you talk, then you try to say "Ok well, I'm going to go grab the mail and get back to work" and they just STAND THERE. They were here for AN HOUR!!!!!!!
I just can't get my mind around what makes people think that anyone would welcome this kind of intrusion in their day. Our own families know they better give us at LEAST a week's notice, no drop-ins. Would you EVER do this to someone????
