I always think people are heavily medicated who act this way. I wouldn't doubt it, people pop pills for any little emotion they may have, someone dies "pop a pill" in fact, here you can have an RX for the rest of your life, you don't actually want to grieve or go through any emotions. Everyone on meds will hate what I just wrote. I am anti pill popping, as you can see.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.SGS you are an enigma.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.
I bet when you start to list the things you had to do and put appropriate charges next to them you'll be shocked by how much it comes to.
I had a friend who did this, with perfectly reasonable figures, and it came to a really big number - so she rounded it off with the phrase "As a gesture of goodwill I am willing to charge you just half this figure".
I thought that was a stroke of genious because half of it was still a worthwhile amount, but it also meant the guest was way less likely to argue about it..
And this line, and I am so serious you must be standing right beside me half the time here:
According to Louis Armstrong “when you’re smilin’…the whole world smiles with you”. Well he obviously never met the couple I just checked in.
I had the couple with no personality Sun and Mon and it was killing me! I even told some innmates off forum, ya know I can do a pretty good rat tat tat routine, but I need audience feedback. When I get a blank stare it is a show stopper, I cannot force people to smile and be happy. Little did I know that WAS THEM BEING HAPPY!
Gloomathon, is that a term for the innkeeper glossary? When they came to the door to find out about a boat cruise IN A THUNDERSTORM they stared back like deer in the headlights not understanding why there was no cruise? I said, well it doesn't begin until summer time, when it warms up. They stood and stared. I began again, "Do you need dinner recommendations?" I mean it was like talking to a couple of rocks.
.
How ever these people meet and are attracted to each other I have no idea.
Have been a bit out of the loop with blogging and foruming lately due to B&B madness, just have a couple of hours to catch up and am so utterly horrified by Alibi Ike's story (am LOVING the new Polly avatar tho).
And people not in the biz wonder why we feel badly treated sometimes - seriously SO many people wouldn't last 24 hours in this industry with people treating us, our homes and belongings they way they do.
.
Speaking of this, and I can't go into detail, but after a lengthy conversation, and a few others with the other couple as well, we have someone this weekend who will be going down our inside stairs one by one on her butt.
I said, of course, just not getting it, since she wants to remain independent and not allow anyone to help her as "That" would embarrass her, how about just throwing her over your shoulder and bringing her down the flight of stairs? We do have other guests here! (It is hard to believe I am even typing this, but this was yesterday and we will have this scene for two days this weekend. The stairs are literally right over and beside where I am typing this - the wall in front of me, so the sound of this should be delighftul!)
