    You know, when I want to know if an inventory of items includes one specific item, I ask about THAT specific item, I don't make someone read me off a 500-item list and see if I notice that it's there or not. Because that would be the sens... *insert sound of mental gearbox melting down*

    Right, never mind, ignore me, carry on.

      I assume the customer is talking pots, pans and gadgets and not major appliances. I doubt very strongly there IS an inventory of every single item in the kitchen. Heck, I don't know every single thing I have in my kitchen!

      "...500 twist-ties, 12 bag clips, 8 corn-on-the-cob holders, 15,432 food crumbs..."

        I hope you are keeping a list of all the names and numbers for these clients so on your last day, you can call them all up and tell them to shove their vacations up their asses.

          The idiot should have been told "Well, thats just too bad now, isn't it. Your itty bitty brain will just have to wait till later. Try not to let the door hit you on the way out". Oh, I know you can't say that, but its what he SHOULD have heard.

          Sorry, little sick of stupid customers and my disgust is showing.

              I can understand asking if they have an electric kettle, toaster, crock-pot or some other minor appliance so you don't have to bring your own. But to ask for an inventory of the kitchen stuff, that's just ridiculous.

                  I thought those only existed in odd numbered quantities.

                              Yes everyone still in vacation rentals but been busy so I havent had a chance to post. Here is another lovely guest I had to deal with.

                              Guest: Dave, I am renting a certain home and I need a complete inventory of the kitchen

                              Me: we actually dont have that but they all pretty much have the same things

                              Guest: thats not sufficient, Dave. I need something more specific
                              Where did you get the idea of Dave? When I read your posts, I keep thinking of Ferris Bueller's Day Off where the three of them are done eating, they're outside of the restaurant trying to get into a cab and Mr. Bueller's is arguing with his coworkers or clients about advertising. "Dave, you gotta spend money to make money.. ...you bonehead!"
