Head-desking forever.

So, I'm working with the owner's son, and two twentysomething guys come to check in.

J: We've got you in a room with one king bed. Did you need a room with two doubles?
Guy: Nah, the one king's fine.
J: Are you sure? We have plenty of two doubles available, and that way you won't have to share.
Guy: *incredulous stare*
J: *blank stare*
Me: HERE ARE YOUR KEYS.

Awkward.

Twenty minutes later:

J: Oh, they were gay!

Sigh.

I can see asking the first question maybe, JUST to be sure. After that he needs a facepunch.

Your identifying him as "the owner's son" made me predisposed to dislike him, and I was not disappointed.

"Wait, there are teh gays? HERE? OMGWUT"

OH MY GOD, HIS DAD PAYS FOR HIS APARTMENT IN BOSTON. $3,000 A MONTH.

And even the first question, there are better ways to ask... usually I just say, "And I've got you in a room with one king bed for two nights?" and let them correct me if I'm wrong, without any creepy inference on my part or need for explaination on theirs. Sensitivity: we (try to) has it.

Yes, definitely. It's like when I used to work in a restaurant. With very overweight people, I had a coworker who would say "You want a table, right?" Errrrrr.... awkward. Better ways to do these things.

Also I TOTALLY CANNOT STAND THIS KID.
