over a teddy bear

[vacation_rentals_suck]

Guest: yea Dave, I am very pissed off right now. My three year old son left his teddy bear in the unit and your housekeepers are saying they cant find it. They better find it and they better find it soon.

Me: well sir, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do

Guest: Find the bear. My wife and I get no sleep at night because he cries all the time about it. This is my last phone call. Next time, I am sending the police.

Me: well we are not responsible for items left in our rental properties

Guest: Bullshit!

Me: No its not bullshit, its in your contract

Guest: well I dont think it's very kind of you to upset a three year old boy like this.

Me: but you all left the teddy bear

Guest: (clearly enraged) I know we left it. I admit that. It's my fault but you havent found it and that's your fault

Me: No it's not

Guest: Look, we are gonna have to put little Junior in counselling and we are sending you the bill.

Me: well ot must be traumatic. I'm sure he must be the first kid to ever lose a teddy bear

Guest: you little smartass

Me: yes sir

Guest: put your manager on this phone instantaneously ( I was roaring with laughter at his big words)

So....what happened? What'd your manager say? Huh? Huh? Leave us hanging here like that!

But seriously. Counseling? For a teddybear? Kid'll probably have forgotten about it by next week.

Yikes! Overreacted a tad didn't he? But does your business have a lost and found or someone you could have directed him to?

[Crazeyal]

I'm noticing a progresson towards "oh fuggit" as far as talking back to morons customers.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

The kid needs counseling--over a teddy bear?

Bet he'll sleep with his parents in their bed every night until he's 60 or so.

Nice parents too, blowing up at VRS instead of teaching their son a very valuable lesson about putting his toys away and making sure to look for them before leaving the villa.

I lost a plush when I was young and I was pretty crushed. However, this was before checking out of the cottage, and we found him before leaving.

If you check out of a hotel or rental property and leave behind valuables, then you're screwed.

Just buy the kid a new Teddy, and Leave poor Dave alone.

If he laughs any harder at you, he might hurt his lungs.

[Forensic Waitress]

Geez just buy the kid another bear.

Councilling, that is so damn stupid over a bear. He'll most probably need more for what his parents are doing to him now.

[Titchyboy]

If you really wanna send him to counciling - post back teddy limbs

Buy the kid a teddy bear & that moron a pacifier cause he needs one & FAST!

[Lachrymose]

I love your responses!

I was going to say you should be a smartass to all the SCs since your boss always gives in anyway.

[BookstoreEscapee]

This is why you get two teddy bears, and stash one in a closet for when the first one gets lost or needs to be laundered.

[MrSmiley]

Oh Rupert! Why did you have to leave me, Rupert?!

"The Burns bear, perhaps the most valuable widdle bear in the world, could be anywhere. It could be in your house...
You could be looking at it right now. It could be right in front of your face as I'm saying this, waggling back and forth, perhaps being held up by a loved one."

pacifier... for which 3 year old? are you sure the toddler didn't figure out how to dial a phone?

[depechemodefan]

I bet they did take the bear with them when they left. They probably stopped somewhere to eat and the boy left the bear at the restaurant. And they forgot that they had the bear when they left the guest house, so of course it's your fault.

Or they find the bear next week, in the bottom of a luggage.

I think it was for the dad.
