At the hotel I work at all the doors face outside. There are no interior corridors. So the other night I get a call from a room (mind you this is a truck driver who needs his sleep) and he tells me there is someone outside knocking on doors.
I go outside to find this woman looking for the room her husband is in by just picking rooms at random and knocking. I quickly let her know this was unacceptable since she has woke up at least one guest who is complaining. She tells me she is looking for her husband. Somehow she had found the right room at this point because I caught her actually knocking on his door. I tell her at this point that she needs to vacate the property or the police were coming. (we have a no nonsense policy on complaints) and she argues that she is knocking on her husband's door. I tell her that it does not matter because he is obviously not answering and maybe he does not want to answer so she has to leave. I give her five minutes to leave.
I tell this to the owner the next day and his only comment is why did I give her five minutes.
