'Twas a shitty weekend, a bit too literally.
Well you clogged it...
Got a call at 8pmish last night, just as I was trying to fall asleep. Some guests who have been with us for nearly two weeks clogged their toilet. CW said she handed them a plunger and it didn't work.
Now, snakes and I do not get along. I had CW offer to move them to another room, since I don't have any special plumbing powers and can't do much else other than what the guest already tried. Apparently, they weren't happy, and wanted to know if we had some sort of "emergency" person. Yeah, calling a plumber on a weekend night would likely cost us about the same as their company's paying for the stay. Not happening.
The thing about our toilets is that they have these awesome power-flush systems. You push the lever, and it's all WHOOOOOSH!!! They are awesome! Super awesome toilets! They very seldom clog. It would be TMI to go into how I know this, so just take my word: it takes a lot to clog these bad boys. Since they'd been in that room for almost two weeks, they clearly did something epic to that poor thing.
Today I was maintenance, and went up there to check it out. It was clear they'd splattered shitty water everywhere in their plunging attempt, and had used our towels and sheets to mop it up. Thanks, guys. Neither Other MOD nor myself were successful in our unclogging attempts. Between us we probably spent almost two hours on that thing.
Suspiciously, both rolls of TP were completely empty. Hmmm....
The guests may have not been happy about moving, but I'm not happy about whatever the hell they clogged the toilet with, so I guess that makes us even.
Determined to be unhappy (figurative shit)
I did not hear this, as by the time I fell asleep last night I was completely out of it, but CW apparently had to go deal with a noise complaint. SCs came in late at night, on a Saturday night of all nights, with no reservation. SCs wanted lower level because they had a lot of stuff to pack. We were sold out of lower level. SCs took an upstairs room. SCs yelled and bitched so loud as they were packing their stuff up the stairs that other guests called and complained. CW had to go tell them to quiet down.
If we don't have the type of room you want, why not head up the street and find something else? If you're going to choose to take the room, don't throw a fit about it. It's not like we forced you to rent it or anything.
What's even more fun: they were upstairs, on the very end of the building with the closed stairwell. Yesterday morning, I found out one of our stairs has just popped off somehow. It needs to be welded back together, and that won't happen until mid-week. I'm sure it just burned these guys even more that there was a stairwell right there, and they had to pack their stuff all the way from the other side of the building.
The worse toilet in Scotland (as well as the rest of the room)
Okay, so it wasn't that bad, but it was bad.
Other MOD called me up to a room and had me bring trashbags, and this is what she had discovered:
Human shit everywhere. The comforter was absolutely covered, as well as the blanket and pillow. It was as if they not only had an accident, but decided to roll around in it as well. There was spray on the wall next to the bed. Spray. Projectile shit spray. It was the second-worst bed I've ever seen in my tenure at the motel. Amazingly, none of it seeped down to the mattress.
There were shitty handprints on the furniture and some of the walls.
The toilet? Oh God, the toilet. It was in the toilet. It was on the outside of the toilet. From the top of the tank to the floor, all over the outside of the toilet. I've seen some bad toilets over the years at the motel, but this one had to have made the top five at least. There was also more spray on the wall next to the toilet. Projectile shit spray!
The toilet handle was broken off and missing (dunno where the hell it went...was too scared to look through the trash), and since I was maintenance, I had to lean over that nasty toilet to replace it. I did manage to clean up a bit of it for housekeeping, though they didn't see it before I worked on it so I don't think the housekeeper noticed. It looked much better after I sprayed it down and flushed it a few times, but that's not saying a whole lot.
I mean, I get that shit happens, but holy shit!
