Well, I'm back to writing in the blog again. It has been a while, been busy with work and other project. This blogpost is going back to one of my favourite subjects: how stupid people are.
Those of you who follow my blog and read my posts (thank you for taking the time), know that I am not a big fan of people in general. And everyday that view is getting worse. Not just because working as a receptionist of a hotel, I get first hand lessons on how dumb some people can be (they just leave their brain at home, as to not have to think when they are on their vacation, I mean, goodness, just the thought of having to think while on vacation, how ridiculous is that? But also that some people take a lot of things for granted, or try to get away with things. For example, tonight. Had a guy walk in to the hotel, he went up in the elevator, came back down and then just started to sprawl on the couch in the reception. I told him once that he can't lay down and he said he was waiting for a friend. After some time (aprox. 10 - 15 minutes), he is sprawling on the couch again and trying to get comfortable. My colleague and I, bring him to attention a couple of more times, and then at 2:25, I ask him, where he's friend is and he tells me that he's friend is on his way and will be here in 5 minutes. So I'm okay, I will not only give him 5 minutes but I will give him a whole 30 minutes for he's friend to show up. So at 3:00 a.m. I am thinking, no friend and after warning you several times, you are again just sleeping on the couch. So I tell my colleague to tell him to leave.
So basically, their are some people, who are either to drunk or just think that they can walk into a hotel and just sleep off on the reception couch till the next morning... I mean, come on, it is a hotel for crying out loud, you want to sleep - you get a room. I do not go to your house and just walk in and sleep there!! And if you do not have a place to sleep, there are plenty of shelters to stay at. And if you are too drunk to go home, well should not have drunk that much.
So people are just wonderful, so wonderful, that sometimes I just think about putting them into a giant blender and then poor what is left into the drain.
[Note: my colleague is the concierge of the night... he is supposed to be security but that is not how things are done here]
