Forgot to post this one yesterday....

Yesterday, a woman came up to me and asked if she could speak to the manager. Since the manager wasn't in, she explained her situation to me.
Apparently, she is renting a cottage in the Chautauqua community for the week, but she forgot sheets. I talked to housekeeping and they got her some. But while we were waiting, she mentioned to someone that not only had she forgotten her sheets, she had forgotten to pack any clothes.

It gets better.

She explained that she went to a mall a half hour away and purchased some clothes, but when she got back to the cottage she "realized they were all the wrong size". So now she was just going to "wash the same clothes and wear them over and over".
How does someone forget to pack clothes!? And if they were to overlook that, and they went shopping to solve the problem, how do you get the wrong size????

Later, the SAME WOMAN came up to me.
She said that her daughter had just found a 20-dollar-bill. I told her I would call security and that they would place it in the lost and found.
She then requested that "if no one claimed it in a week, can we have it?"
I just kind of looked at her... and asked if she thought it was hers.
She stated that no, it wasn't hers, but it "wouldn't be right for the Hotel to just keep it if no one claimed it" and that she was "trying to teach [her] daughter that if you do the right thing, good things happen".
Not wanting to argue with her, I had her put the $20 in an envelope and write their contact info on it, and handed it over to security, who in turn looked at me like I was crazy.

Here's hoping I don't have to come in contact with this crazy lady again.

  1. You truly convey the craziness at your job....in a very Colbert nation kind of way. I think you have a future at Comedy Central as a writer!
