Anyone else work front desk?

[WDW Poly Princess]

Does anyone else here work at a hotel front desk and want to trade weird/annoying guest stories? Seems like I get a new one every day!

I have a lady today who keeps complaining that we are "out in the middle of nowhere"- there are five other hotels right around us, and two theaters within walking distance, and it is about a mile and a half up to the main strip! She's mentioned it at least a zillion times, it's driving me nuts!

My other favorite of the day is the lady who was upset that her TV was "stuck". "There's something wrong with my TV! It's stuck! It won't change channels unless I get up and push the buttons on the tv!" "Oh, you mean the remote batteries are dead?"

I bet you have some doozies!

I work telephone reservations for hotels, and I know I get some crazies too!

My favorites are the ones who only have one person staying in the room but HAVE to have 2 beds!

I probably shouldnt admit to this but I think it was out in LA, but i could not firgure out how to flush the toilet So maybe I had a little to drink on the flight, but when I got into my hotel room, could not figure out how to flush. Called the front desk, and the said the button on top Who has ever heard of a button on top.

Whoa, does this bring back memories. I worked in hotel industry for 20+ years as Front Desk lerl, Night Auditor and finally as Front Desk Manager. If I start on stories we'd be here all night!

There are some real weirdos out there. You always wonder how they can be so dumb.
