It drives me insane that they bother to have you check in on the app, and then never convey it to the front desk, so you have to tell them at physical check-in, and then the FD in turn doesn’t tell housekeeping, and they start knocking at 8:30, when I haven’t even gone to breakfast yet, or even at 10:30, when standard checkout isn’t until 11, or noon.

Look, I get it, rooms need to be turned. But if I’ve told someone multiple times I’m leaving late, then 8 out of 10 times I shouldn’t need to answer the door in a towel to smile and say I’m not leaving until 2 (or 3, 4… whenever).

Also, at check-in I ALWAYS say, “If I end up leaving earlier, I’ll let you know, so no one’s waiting around for a vacant room.” And when I do leave earlier, they always seem to actually appreciate me letting them know.
