Seriously? You want a free room for this?

Did you hear her remove the DND card? I've watched douchebags (kids and adults both) yank those out and put them on other doors before. Same with the hangers.

As for not knocking and announcing herself prior to entering, totally outside of protocol.

^-.-^

One time the wife and I had woken up early and I did hear the card being removed so that she could use her housekeeping card to enter the door. I was not happy, indeed

That happened to me in Las Vegas one morning while I was still in bed.

Well, more accurately, I was ON the bed. And very naked. Not to mention groggy--I only woke up because she came in, which was annoying, as I had put out that Do Not Disturb sign.

Yeah, I think she learned her lesson on that one.

Got Pics??

Jester, on behalf of the commenters here at customerssuck.com, we thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and stomachs for not posting photos of how you looked in your room in Las Vegas (at least from the cleaning lady's point-of-view.)

Hey, don't speak for everyone, some of us would actually enjoy seeing pictures

I'm starting to lose confidence in the human race.

I'm starting to lose confidence in the human race.

Only starting to?

[Moirae]

Only starting to?

Well... let me put it this way.... how the hell did the human race survive all this time, and why the hell haven't we blown ourselves up? Humanity is filled with a majority of complete morons. Even a thousand years ago, people this stupid would have been eaten by bears or lions by now. Instead, we think everyone needs to survive to pass their "stupid" genes on to the next generation.

The grace of the gods. That's how humans survive.

[dalesys]

The boredom of the gods. That's how humans survive.

are those doing now?!

Life: Reality TV for deities.

They should move the Do Not Disturb notes *into* the doors... you know, like how an airplane bathroom door says "Occupied" or "Available"? Less room for tampering that way, you'd think.

IIRC, I was staying at a casino hotel several years ago and they had some sort of electronic version where you could press a button i the room to light up a LED on the outside.

lol. Bullseye. We're too stupid for gods to care about us that much. If there are gods, its got to be like watching a train wreck, they know they should look away but just can't quite do it because we do the stupidest crap.

Hell, I couldn't get a free night years ago when I stayed at hotel that was booked with a high school basketball team. Room was $80 a night, and the best they offered me was a letter of apology, then $25 off my next stay. Never cashed in on it. And I complained due to being up all night from the partying, and the chain doing nothing about it.

Story 1: This reminded me of something my cousin told me about when he was in the military. He worked 6 days on, 1 day off. Being the military they got up very early but could sleep in on their day off.

However there was this one guy in his barracks that would get the others to wake him early even on his day off. Just so that he could say to himself 'Oh, I don't have to get up', snuggle down in the bed and go back to sleep.

That is actually a very good idea.

Perhaps make a single unit that is easy to install, maybe 3 inches round, so you can use a standard size hole drill bit, and has the slidy thing as a round that you twist to make whichever word you want to appear on the outside. They could drill it in just under the peephole and room number.

as long as you can actually leave the room with the notice still up.

like one christmas i spent in a hotel... i specifically left the "no service" sign up the entire stay cos I didn't feel they should have to work on my room during the holiday. (and yes i cleaned up before I left, left a christmas card with a tip as a thank you, and some candy canes as well)
