Head-desking forever.

[lullabelle]

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.

You know why that's really funny? Almost the exact same thing happened to my ex and I once. This guy could not get his head around why we might have booked a double room with two of us sleeping in it.

"But there's two of you."
"Yes, we know."
"But there's only one bed"
"yes, we know."
"But there's two of you."

It went on like that for some time before he finally stopped arguing with us and I really wish I could have seen the look on his face when he finally twigged.

Oh, bless.

...how old is this person? i can forgive the very young and the very very old (sometimes)

He's amazing. He couldn't go out to lunch today because he slept funny. Seriously. Sleeping hurt him too bad for him to sit and eat.

Hahahaha. What always genuinely baffles me is siblings who choose to sleep in the same bed, even when there are other rooms available. We get them sometimes. I think they're nuts. (But I also have a sister who kicks like a mule.)

oh.

no, he fails

[badwolf56.livejournal.com]

I can't understand it either. But I also have a sister who kicks like a mule, so I dunno.

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.

[badwolf56.livejournal.com]

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.

I LOLed, and then I was sad. I live in Massachusetts, so I get gay couples in all the time who are redoing their yards or whatever. It ain't no thing, but I can usually tell, you know? Without having to ask, not that it's any of my business, nor would I ever. But it's just like, subtlety, try and has some, mmmkay? And also, it's 2010, why is it STILL a surprise when gay couples come in?

[teleen-fiction.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just. Wow. (Note icon.)

[teleen-fiction.livejournal.com]

I say that all the time - it's 2010 and we're still dealing with this crap?

OT: Your icon looks rather dirty when viewed from the corner of my eye. I have a dirty, filthy mind, (obviously). ;)

Re: The icon. You are not alone.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_lullabelle_/]

LOL. That was pretty much my face.
