One of the worst rooms I ever smelled

[telecom_goddess]

She invited me in. Augh! there was a path through the dogshit. In one corner it was at least 2 feet deep, and moldy. Later, I found out that (1) rather than going up one flight of stairs to where our NICE landlord had several trash cans for us, they just piled their bags along the side of the house (creating a rat problem); and (2) when food went bad in the cooking pot, she'd just throw it into the yard.

Oh god stories like this just make me want to and then go into a corner and

How in the HELL can people live like that? Why not just go live in the sewer for fuck's sake?

you know i once brought my kitty to a hotel ...but... i brought a litter box along. so kitty did his business in the box
not on the floor.

Same here. When we moved from AZ to OR, we brought our two elderly cats with us, and their litterbox. Kitties stayed in the hotel rooms with us, we put the litter box in the bathroom and kept the door open. No accidents, no carpet cleanups, just swept up a little kicked-out litter and all was well. It's not rocket science.

apparently, panacea, your charge forgot the basics of triage; out of control doesn't fall under life/limb/eyesight, but the diabetic guy sure did. she should have been written up for her idiocy.

Well, she was looking for an excuse to write me up anyway. Her buddy on nights (my shift split between days and nights) tried to write me up for something else, and I obliterated her complaint in front of the Assistant Manager and made her buddy look very, very stupid. It was payback. I probably ought to write up the whole thing in Morons in Management

That is BRILLIANT! Will use that next time we have the need! Thanks!

You're welcome I usually put 3 ml of saline with 1-2 drops of extract of peppermint in the nebulizer chamber. Season to taste

No, it's not rocket science. Some people are just so dag on thoughtless that they can't even be bothered to do something as simple as bring along a litter box and litter for their cats, or who don't take their dogs out and let them pee/poop on the carpet. Then these same EW's complain about the high cost of a pet deposit, and try to hide their pets.

I wish we had pet deposits.

I have had guests who forgot their litter boxes and asked if we had a cardboard box. I can almost always scrounge something up in case they forget. We even have some kitty litter, too, that we use in the ash trays around the property. Asking doesn't guarantee I have something, but it doesn't hurt, so ask me already dammit. 'cause I don't want to deal with the mess otherwise!

I've heard about that (I think it was on The X-Files) but I think they apply it to their upper lip, just under the nostrils.

I'd like to just quickly say that putting it on your upper lip burns like nothing you would ever believe. >< Nostrils...not so much. Not sure why, but the lip is like OWWWIIEESSS

Ah, okay. I probably remembered it wrong, then. But it was definitely Vicks.
