After this weekend I came to find the term PITA endearing, in fact if only my guests were PITAS then I could have possibly dealt with them better. I did not go into details on the forum of the aftermath - but a specific room went from bad to worse and I have deemed those guests toxic.
I have them on the "Do Not Rent To Again" list, even after they said they can't wait to come back under better circumstances. They were by far the worst guests we have ever had here, and honestly they did not blow up their room or do drugs or any of those things we detest. They were just very very difficult people to deal with, they sucked the life and energy out of you.
I was thinking about the classification of PITA and discussing it with DH as I said, they simply do not fall under that category. I think the term PITA has been an all encompassing acronym we use for 'bad guests' and maybe we need a new classification, a scale, if you will.

Like a Richter scale? Or a hurricane category? We could use the Mohs scale if the guests are particualrly dense.

Yeah, I take the term PITA literally and apply it as such. Sounds like you had Total Nightmare guests.

Maybe normal PITA's don't faze me, but I wanted to choke those people.

at the bottom of this page is Member B&B's and Featured Inns. I am not sure how many are listed there, not most, but some. :)

Some are incognito so you will not match them with their inns. Some are letting it all hang out - like me. But I rarely have PITA guests or situations that I NEED to go anon.
