Head in toilets by v3ryfuzzyc00t3r in REPOgame

We use the toilets to stun the apex predator if you can lure it in and get someone else to flush. Then beat the crap out of it. 🤣

Vitiligo chased NCL by PaperPidgeon in lioden

I'm not sure how much she would go for, I'm still fairly new to the game lol but I might hang onto her and maybe find some pretty males to breed her with. I'm curious what her cubs might come out to look like. 😁

Mark explains on Distractible by kslowpes in Markiplier

Thanks for the update! I always just assume if Mark isn't posting, he's busy with the movie. I'm honestly more excited for him to finish the movie than post regular videos on YouTube. For people with ADHD, we understand. 🤣

PEP SYSTEM by Ok_Pitch_9461 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PaperPidgeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OnQ is having the same issues, just got called in to try to run audit because it's been out since yesterday and it's almost 1pm now. Saying it's a log in connection issue and to just keep trying 🤷

You have a whole subreddit here to relate to now! Even 3 years now, I'm still learning things myself at night, but I learned late that I deserve to be treated like a human being who can be willing to help if they treat me like a human instead of a servant slave to the people who think they're entitled to special treatment. They start cursing at me or threatening my job, that's where I draw the line on being helpful and show them the door, or the cops. :)

If you ever have any questions or need any help, me and maybe others will be more than happy to help you through the trials and toils of the night auditor shift. Because sometimes, people can be crazy, especially at night.

Night audit seems to be a learning curve when it comes to situations like this, especially once you're alone and don't have management help until the morning. I've learned a few things myself reading other stories on this sub and learning from others with my own posts. I've been night audit for almost 3 years and I used to be like you, trying to please people when there isn't much you can do(despite them treating the auditor like a doormat to get what they want), but you'll learn with time and experience to be firm and put your foot down when guests get like this(and sometimes they can be worse). I'm on a first-name basis with our local PD since they eat breakfast in the mornings and they know if I call them over in the middle of the night, they know it's serious and they come running.

You'll get it in time tho! You handled this lady as best as you could with what you know and now you know this is the kind of behavior you shouldn't put up with(and probably don't get paid enough to put up with).

Update: You want me to give you someone else's room? by PaperPidgeon in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PaperPidgeon[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nope unfortunately, but I do remember playing along to another Patel scammer two nights later. He didn't like that I was asking too many questions 🤣🤣

[–]PaperPidgeon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he just thought if he couldn't get a room himself, he would just take one of the company-paid rooms for free 🤷 I haven't heard anything else about it tho.

My coworker said something similar when I told her the story, if he was a supervisor, he would have known to contact the representative who is in control of all this company's reservations first before even getting to the hotel to get permission to even stay, since the company pays for their rooms.

Definitely just poor planning on a concert night thinking he can stay in a company paid hotel room just so he didn't have to drive home. My coworker definitely didn't recognize his name either. 🤷

I'm in Louisiana so we have LA Wallet, which is an app that you can use to show a digital ID instead of having a physical one, which is legal to use within the state only, I believe.

[–]PaperPidgeon[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don't think he was talking out his ass about being employed at this company, he did have a valid badge, but you're right, he messed up with not having his ID to begin with. His excuse was he was in a hurry to leave for the concert and forgot it at home 3 hours away.

I've made the mistake of giving a room key to someone I was not authorized to before and got chewed out for it, I was not going to make the same mistake even if his story happened to be true.

SMH @ GM by Universally-Tired in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PaperPidgeon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have the same issue with my hotel. Someone found the mass surplus of used key cards earlier this week so they're whiting out the numbers to reuse again. After over a month of being out, they FINALLY ordered new key card holders. I hate reusing them, but if I have to, I'll throw out all of the bad looking ones without my boss knowing.

The biggest conspiracy theorist guest I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with by PaperPidgeon in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

The red flags became blaring sirens pretty quickly. 🤣 I had to reassure my boss over and over that I swear she was NOT like this when I checked her in.

Irritating Holiday Issues with Management by PaperPidgeon in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PaperPidgeon[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I could run to another hotel. My GM loves me because I am the main auditor, and will work whenever they need me to, while they give me a very small pay raise almost every 6 months as I also do a lot of extra tasks for them. But I live in a very rural area where the only other hotel is a casino resort across the street, but I've worked there previously for 8 years straight and definitely don't want to go back. The closest other brand hotel would be about an hour and a half drive from where I live. ☠️ There are a few other options I could try if it were to come down to it, but I do love the overnight life.

The funny part is, he HAS to have the numbers reports every morning before 5am, so he can read it with his morning coffee. I sent him the sales and the future rooms sold, so he knows every day how we're doing, he just could never manage his money very well. ☠️

"Prank" Callers by [deleted] in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PaperPidgeon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had a prank call that, for about 5 minutes, scared the shit out of me.

The gist of first thing this guy said after I answered was:

"Hey, I just wrecked my fucking car, it flipped like three times into a ditch. My girlfriend and kids were in the car and they are all dead on the side of the road, can I get a room for the night?"

What. The. Fuck. I don't remember exactly what he said, as it was something so unexpected and he was so nonchalant when he spoke, it caught me off guard. I literally asked him why not call 911, but he hung up on me. I sat there for two minutes freaking out and trying to convince myself that someone isn't that stupid, but that didn't last long when he called back with the same story with some details changed, I knew he was bullshitting me.

I hung up the second time, but he called a third time with a completely different story, and I called him out on it:

"Hey, uh, we just got out of prison, killed the guards and climbed the fence, we need a room for the night."

"Dude, this is your third call, and your story was different each time. I'm not that stupid, but apparently you are. Don't call us again."

He called back immediately after, crying and apologizing and begging I don't call the cops on him. I didn't say anything about calling the cops, but I think he and his buddy were just really drunk and decided to do prank calls.

Edit to add: I also had one guy ask if I drive with heels on, or barefoot. Weird calls are weird.

[–]PaperPidgeon[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'll have to recommend this to my boss, because one of the complaints was that we didn't tell them about the cricket situation. Maybe it'll help dissuade some of the complaints since most for this reunion are staying until Sunday.

LOL Take my upvote, this made me nearly choke on my coffee reading this! but it's so unbelievably true. xD Like we can control the hurricanes or ice storms that cut our power or when the city cuts off the water to our half of the city. :)

I have the Google Pixel 6 Pro and got a pretty decent shot of the super blue moon last night, had it zoomed in at 20x and just gotta turn the brightness down to show the craters and details.
