then they call you and ask you "when can we changes yr sheets" and Louis CK gets angry

Neanderthal, Monday, 29 July 2013 13:36 (ten years ago) link

I put the sign out as soon as I get in my room and leave it up for the entirety of my visit. Sometimes it falls off though, sometimes it is completely ignored, and then sometimes they call you asking "ARE YOU SURE YOU DON"T WANT HOUSEKEEPING".

I usually am cool w/out it but I felt bad on my recent Baltimore trip as I got blood on the sheets (mosh pit injury not properly bandaged plus drunken stumbling).

Having someone come in and make the bed and straighten your room and bring you fresh towels PRN is like the heigh of luxury. You're all weird and filthy.

Weird and filthy and cuddly, damn it.

usually I'm fine w/out it because my average trip is 1-2 days. if I'm vacationing for a week, damn straight I'm having housekeeping

Neanderthal, Monday, 29 July 2013 13:50 (ten years ago) link

yeah I love housekeeping fairies. i don't like them waking me up but in general A+

most of my trips are business trips tho so often I'm out of the room before they even show up.

scrawl "NO FUKKING HOUSEKEEPING" on the outside of the door, in blood.

I remember that in Costa Rica the hangers say "Por Favor, No Me Moleste" -- do they say that in Spain too?

I felt like a monster when I let housekeeping change my sheets that had stains from the Snickers bar I'd eaten in bed while drunk the night before. There should be a sign that says, It's just chocolate.

potatoes-in-law (Je55e), Monday, 29 July 2013 14:09 (ten years ago) link

They then leave a similar sign that says "Whatever"

Scariest part of The Wall is that first scene where housekeeping comes down the hall with the vacuum and knocks on Pink's door.

pplains, Monday, 29 July 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link

I hope you USA-ians with soiled sheets left your housekeepers a nice tip when you checked out.

I assume that housekeeping tips are not done in other countries?

Cosmetics superstore Ulta is the worst for this I have ever seen. I bought ONE item and the receipt was all joking aside ten inches long.

oh i've gotten cvs receipts that have probably been a couple of feet long, no exaggeration

cvs receipts are terrible. safeway can be kinda nuts too

they have good sales but their coupon system is ott and their stores are depressing as hell

Oh man, this is the worst. It's gotten to the point where I only use my CVS card if I know I'm getting a substantial discount by doing so.

blatant marvin jack (jaymc), Monday, 29 July 2013 15:21 (ten years ago) link

Who ever goes to cvs when a Walgreens exists?

Jeff, Monday, 29 July 2013 15:22 (ten years ago) link

There's a CVS a half-block from my office. Also two CVSes in my neighborhood closer than any Walgreens.

blatant marvin jack (jaymc), Monday, 29 July 2013 15:27 (ten years ago) link

Oh wait, never mind. Closest drugstore is still a CVS (0.5 mi), but there's a Walgreen's and another CVS equidistant (0.7 mi) from me.

blatant marvin jack (jaymc), Monday, 29 July 2013 15:29 (ten years ago) link

Point is: CVS is more convenient.

blatant marvin jack (jaymc), Monday, 29 July 2013 15:29 (ten years ago) link

Big FUCK OFF to Walgreens, btw.

pplains, Monday, 29 July 2013 15:30 (ten years ago) link

For personal reasons or did they do something generally evil? Because Walgreens is my jam and I refuse to go to CVS, but only because of long, protracted, frustrating battles I have had with their stupid mail order pharmacy.

Lawyer... SUAVE... (carl agatha), Monday, 29 July 2013 15:42 (ten years ago) link

I'm just mad that they wouldn't sell me Sudafed. Also the one time they said they'd page me when my order was ready and after an hour, I went to check and they said Oh, we're not going to fill it at all.

pplains, Monday, 29 July 2013 15:55 (ten years ago) link

And the "79¢ or 2/$1.25" nine-inch price tags can go to hell too.

I like their rewards system, especially on prescriptions. Every couple of months I get enough points to get $5 off a purchase.

potatoes-in-law (Je55e), Monday, 29 July 2013 16:09 (ten years ago) link

Yes! Walgreens rewards card actually regularly pays off. It's awesome.

Lawyer... SUAVE... (carl agatha), Monday, 29 July 2013 16:27 (ten years ago) link

You get big rewards if you get a flu shot, too.

Lawyer... SUAVE... (carl agatha), Monday, 29 July 2013 16:28 (ten years ago) link

bet hitler gave out flu shots too.

Getting breakfast, cereal flakes arranged in such a way that when milk is poured, it hits a big flat flake at the top of the bowl and just bounces right out and all over the counter

(massive hotel drama x-post)
Yes! I've taken to studying the layout before I pour to find a good spot, and failing that, moving the ski-jump flake out of the way.

I use a gooseneck kettle to do my "pour over cereal" in the morning.

On our last vacation, room service showed up so quickly after ordering that I was standing naked in the middle of the room. I panicked, tucked myself between bed and wall and pulled a blanket over myself on the floor! Heh. Husband was there to open door, dude walked the tray in and put it on the bed I was hiding against.

They got me again with "the elite gymnastics thread," which I thought might be about actual gymnastics, dammit.

Why do they keep asking you? They asked me once, I said no thank you, and they left me alone. I feel so unpopular.
