Default Stupid Guest Tricks (Was: OT - Anyone here own a restaurant?)

9. Fence Climbers.

50K volt wire around the top of the fence?


Great idea! :-)

I forgot to mention the boys who hopped the pool fence in the winter
and used our $3000 pool cover as a trampoline.

The pool was half filled with old, fetid water (beneath the cover), and
if the lads had ripped a hole through the cover we probably wouldn't
have found them till spring. Luckily someone spotted them before they
killed themselves...

And you would have been sued.

kennel for small, furry visitors.


Jay's hotel shouldn't have to deal with long-term canine or feline guests. As I
recall, the pet care facilities at the hotel in North Carolina (which I
mentioned elsewhere) consisted of a soundproofed room full of cages. This was
beside the checkin area. Fido can do just fine overnight, but it's not the thing
for several days incarceration. In those cases, an arrangement such as you
describe would be just the thing.

Who is liable when Fluffy the gazillion dollar pure breed mutt gets out
via a gate left open by another guest?


Each cage would have it's own lock, so only the pet owner would be
responsible for their own pet...

Pets are not inanimate objects. They don't get "stored".


So, you're saying that they're different than kids at daycare?

Yes. Kids at day care are not put in cages, ignored, and taken for a
walk every six hours.

Hmmmm... We must have been using different daycares...

Ever notice how much a crib looks like a cage from the side?

yep, but not of the ADA (there is no grand father clause in there);

are you sure? how do you know? (I am willing to bet that
they are not taken for a walk every six hours though)

Why do you close the pool at sunset? In the middle of August a quick
swim at 10pm is a joy.


That's not a hard and fast rule -- but we bill ourselves as a "quiet
romantic getaway" -- so we don't want 15 guys whooping and hollering in
the pool at midnight, when our guests are trying to sleep.
