People Never Cease To Amaze Me

[Copperhead]

Throwing this in here under the 'never cease to amaze me' category- had a call earlier this week for a room for tonight. Guest is whinging on about couldn't I do the bigger room for the price of the smaller room because she needs two beds and she doesn't want her mother to have to sleep in a twin bed. Too late, I thought, 'why don't yu sleep in the twin bed, then!'
She was going to a memorial service in the next town over and could I give her directions from the church? No, I couldn't as I do not know what particular church she means and she didn't know, either. (Never assume there is only one church of any denomination in any given town!) She was going to have to get to the church from where she lives so I assumed, incorrectly, that she could figure out the rest on her own, using the directions I sent to her with the main roads highlighted.
She just called. She is lost. She is 20 miles west of where she should be but she kept driving. Somehow, this is my fault. She does not have her directions with her. She needs me to tell her how to get here, step by step. And she needs a late checkout because this has all been so distressing to her.
At this rate she is getting a late check-in, nothing doing on the late check-out. At a discounted room rate..

Second call to let me know the exit number I gave her near my inn does not exist.

Oh grief I know you will be throwing all the linen including the mattress pad and pillow protectors into the machine on "heavy" cycle. .....

Yup, it'll take some "heavy" cleaning in there tomorrow! Tomorrow check-in for that room is a 6 night honeymoon stay. I see lots of cleaning in my future.

OMG, this is the best thread ever. I so needed an eye opening experience and a laugh today. Thank you for this, and especially for the pic. This is totally priceless!

Ok I am just so happy there was a pic because I could not for the life of me figure out how they brought a POLE INTO one of your rooms! Portable, how very very clever.
I am no prude either, but I am all for what happens behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors. I think it's rather piggish to leave personal items laying about, and in fact my housekeepers would have been told not to touch a thing in there. WHO KNOWS where all that stuff has been???? PUKE.

 

[Breakfast Diva]

What do you want to bet that it takes them forever to pack all that crap up and they won't leave on time?? Of course, it's the only room we have to turn over today.

I hope the back of their room is private.....

I would hate to be walking by and see such a surprise...

Yes, it's very private. They checked out and the room looked like an ordinary lived in stay. We still deep cleaned the room after they left. I've already heard from them on our facebook page that they had a wonderful stay and will be back. Oh great!!

Ok....I just have to share. It's a rather attractive shade of pink, don't you think?

.

OK...I am hysterical here. After the pink pole, I noticed the light streaming in from the 2 French doors.

LOL......those French doors have blinds that close. I sure hope they were closed when the pole was in use!
