    I'm not sure if I'm offended or amused

    Smartass note, every time I see the mods bump a thread in site news, I'm so tempted to make a post subject that relates to it. IE, I almost made this one have the name "Mods, please move this..." followed by "...to the place where I get smarter customers" as the opening words. I honestly wonder how many of those I would get away with before they just had me shot. Anyway, on to the story...

    Just a quickie...

    Old Guy: I think my key isn't working, the pool door won't open.
    Me: Oh, I'm sorry about that...the pool area closes each night at 10pm, and re-opens at 9am so we can run the chemicals. (not really, we just don't want it open overnight since the graveyard is alone if there's an emergency)
    OG: You can't let me in?
    Me: Unfortunately no, though even if I could you wouldn't want to swim in the hot tub right now, it would be like a chemical bath.

    OG scoffs, turns towards the elevator, then waves his hand over his shoulder...it takes me a second to realize the guy's giving me the finger...and for a second I'm not sure if I saw that right.

    Me: ...Have a nice night! ...?

    OG gets into the elevator muttering and shaking his head.



    I was laughing about it by morning, so I guess it wasn't all that bad.

    At least he wasn't drunk... small blessings.
    Then you might have to explain to him how a key works (I wish I was making that up, but I can't tell you how many times I've had to have security escort a guest to their room to show them how to use the key because they were too drunk to figure it out).

      Hehe Smiley, for years, I used to be that security guy I know that pain all too well.

      The upside with my new property is we're not near the downtown area. I get some drunk people, sure, but the worst drunk I've had to deal with lately was some guy who thought he was walking to his home 5 miles away when it was really about 30 miles...and it started snowing. He just wanted a cab, and sat there chatting with me nicely until it got there.

      I would've PAID for those kinds of drunks when I worked downtown...

        Did you at least know how to read between the lines when the desk clerk was asking you to help the guest?
        We have a new security guard who is horrible at reading between the lines and still hasn't figured out all our codewords that essentially mean "guest is too drunk to work door." That my friend is a sentence that I will never utter in front of a guest, that is why I am calling you with a funny sounding request about a guest having trouble with his door, which on the surface sounds like it should be going to engineering and not security.

          Actually, I'm pretty sure we would have laughed our collective asses off.

                  I'm sure your local asylum could locate one before too long.

                    I've already threatened him with bodily harm if he takes another long hiatus. So, I guess I'll try to be nice. Khiras, I won't shoot you, k?

                            Ok...so did I lie about being nice, not shooting you, or threatening you?

                            Most peeps will say the 'being nice' part, since I rarely am.
