  • Things you learn when living in a hotel

    I have noticed some things the last few days while living in the Best Western here in Richmond Hills, GA. It seems that normal habits from every day guests don't jive with me . hahaha Here is a short list.

    When waiting on an elevator and the door opens, I always for some reason seem to wait for passengers in the elevator to exit before I try to enter. Everyone waiting for the elevator seems to think I'm just in there to ride it up and down all day. 3 times , I have tried to exit the elevator when either 16 kids , mom and dad, and granny try to wedge me in the back corner, so I can't escape. Yesterday it was 2 large heffers with 3 bags of cookies and chips who looked at me like I had a booger hanging out of my nose when I tried to get out before they came rushing at me like two Green Bay defensive line men.

    Ok, this is only the second and last one I will mention. It seems that folks think that I am just the guy who is making sure the waffle iron doesn't explode whil other folks are using it. They see me standing there, because I know I'm not invisiable, I've looked in the mirror. So, what do I do? I stand a little closer the next morning. After turning my back twice only to see someone commendere the waffle iron right before my eyes, I decided I'd had it. So, this morning I had a plan. I was walking straight to the waffle iron and would push my way right in there. That was a no go, because grandma and grandpa were right there looking very hungry. So, I waited. I've got a plan for in the morning. I'm goin down the road to the cafe for breakfast. That'll show em. hahaha

    Welcome to my world. I spend around 200+ days a year in hotel rooms. Common Sense and manners have left the building. Feel like I am staying with a bunch of locust. I have actually had people say take what you want from that platter because I am taking rest.. I am embarassed and disgusted at the same time!!

        You have to remember alot of those people are on vacation and most of the rules go out the window (what few are actually left) and it's all about them. If it were me I would just make sure to push my way through and accidently throw an elbow or 2.

                when I was a kid, at least one weekend a month (early 80's, I was 6) my entire family stayed in room 1217 of Vegas world HOtel. My dad worked for the plumbing company that was doing all the plumbing and sprinkler systems for the hotel, and he was on 24 hour call at least one weekend a month.
                Now that you know that, I suppose you hate kids that get off the elevator and light up every button while exiting????????


                not that I would know anything about that

                      I used to live on Maui and my stepmom was an ob/gyn so we got to go on "vacation," ya, I know, every once in a while for her continuing education. One year we went to the big island and there was a photo shoot at the hotel that weekend so there were models running around everywhere. It was awesome. I was going down to the beach with my old man one day and we got on an empty elevator. Shortly after the door closed, he ripped the kinda ass that causes trainwrecks. Our eyes were watering and of course we were laughing like hell. Wouldn't you know it, the elevator stopped and when the doors opened, there was one of them models, the stuff of prepuescent dreams standing there. She got one foot in the door, stopped and stared at me like I was raping a monkey, stepped back and let the doors close. I turned around to make sure my old man was acknowledging my getting blamed for his nasty ass and he was standing behind me pointing at me! rude.

                            When I was heading to NC to attend Herdstock we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Deleware with the free breakfast. That morning this do ragged nappy headed looking black guy goes up to the condiments and takes ever last square of jelly and walks back to his room. WTF was that? I was near done my breakfast and jelly wasn't the issue. Not sure what I would have done had I needed jelly at the time he took all of them. As one gets older one should pick and chose the sword he wants to die on? He was older looked in his 50's?

                              Get this, I was in Blackhawk ,CO in 04 , when I witnessed a retired couple unload tupperware at their table at the free buffet. They hauled the tupperware in gym bags. tThey even had a one gallon empty milk jug foir the pitcher of tea that the waitress had l;eft for them. To top it off, the old man on his way to pay for his meal, reached in the mint bowl while the cashier wasn't looking and snatched every mint in the bowl. I peaked out of the window, and they were loading their take into about a $500k motorhome. hahaha

                                  One thing I learned from living out of Hotels....I can't recall ever seeing a hot room service chick....and half of them don't know WTF the "Do not Disturb" sign on the door means...if you work at night/sleep daytime.
                                  It's not "derailed", as long as the last post relates to the post above it...it's just on a different rail, heading into a more interesting direction
