Some people think that feigning ignorance and waving their entitlement around would get them far when in reality, it just makes them look bad, or even worse, it simply encourages people to write stories about them on Reddit. Much like this hotel guest, who tried getting her way even when she absolutely knew she was in the wrong. The hotel's front desk clerk was working a night shift when a woman approached and asked to check-in. When the clerk tried to do so, they saw that the woman's reservati…

Hotel disputes aren't uncommon, and dare I say it's usually the guest who starts them? Imagine working your shift, minding your own business, when a guest comes right up to you and demands a full refund because they are in fact, leaving now. The thing is, you just checked them in, 45 minutes ago. You know you can't give them a refund… It's against the hotel's policy. On the other hand, you don't really want to start an argument, and anyway, it's late. What would you do? Well, this front desk wo…

This couple wanted to send out 15 rules for their wedding. It's not a bad idea in theory, but the tone of the list, and some of the actual rules themselves, got people on the r/weddingshaming subreddit talking. There are a lot of good rules for your wedding, and most don't need to be spelled out for guests. For example, there's one rule which warns guests not to bring outside drinks… who does that? Rule #2 instructs guests not to “get in the photographer's way.” Who hurt this couple enough that…

When people don't get their way, they'll resort to other measures… such as calling the bank. As told by a user on Reddit, a guest failed to show up to check into their hotel room after reserving 2 very expensive rooms for a couple of nights. The user was an employee at the hotel, working the front desk, and hadn't even received a call from the guest who clearly didn't think he needed to cancel. A few weeks later, the inevitable happened… he got a big bill, which he, of course, called to complai…

Are you the type of people who book a hotel room at whatever website has the lowest rate, or do you always book it from the hotel's official website? Even though it is appealing to pay less, there could be a lot of issues with booking through a third-party website. For example, if the booking somehow falls through, the actual hotel can't do much to help, and they would most likely tell you to contact the 3rd-party's customer service, which can be a lot of pain. Another example is what happened…

Although, understandably, some policies can't be changed or eased, there should always be room for consideration. Sometimes, even though on paper the policy makes total sense, certain cases prove that there can be exceptions from time to time. Much like the case in this Reddit story. OP (original poster), booked a hotel room a year in advance for next week, which happens to have a solar eclipse event that is highly anticipated. Because of that, when OP booked their room, the room was practicall…

Some people think that if they will just ignore a problem, it will go away on its own. And as much as we all would have loved it if that was the case, it is often not, which means that if you want something to be sorted, you should probably do it yourself. The guest in this Reddit story thought that all his problems would be sorted by themselves, and then had to deal with the consequences when it turned out that they didn't just go away. The story was written by a hotel clerk, who was approache…

No couple wants to have the wedding that people remember as “the one with the terrible food.”

Airbnb used to be way cheaper, but thanks to inflation (among other things), it's almost better to check into a hotel. Also, hosts can be frustrating to deal with. I'm not saying guests are angels, but let's just say it's a double-edged sword. This poster (OP) was attending a friend's wedding and opted to stay in an Airbnb. They had to make sure that pets were welcome, because they were bringing along their dog. Luckily they found just the place but upon arrival, the Airbnb owner showed up unan…

It is completely understandable to want to complain about a poorly done service. When someone pays for a service, they should be left with a satisfied feeling, and not feeling like they have been mistreated or wronged. What is not completely understandable, is people resorting to lying when something does not go their way. If you are not happy about the way things are done, feel free to complain, but what good does it do if you lie? The only thing it does is damage your credibility. That is why…

Plan your wedding just two weeks ahead of time? What could go wrong? Well, just about everything, as this couple learned. It's understandable why a couple would want to avoid the pressures of planning a wedding . It can take years to put together a guest list, snag a venue, hire a catering company and a DJ… the list goes on and on. That's why it's fairly common for people to get engaged as a sign of their commitment to each other, and then take a few months or years to plan out their special da…

There are all kinds of people that go to hotels. And as a front desk manager, you never know the kinds of customers you're gonna have to deal with. From kind and respectful folk to absolute Karen and Kevins , it's really just the luck of the draw. In this story, the hotel employee had to deal with a pair of entitled guests. The middle-aged couple sported sour looks on their faces from the second they walked in, and the employee knew they would be difficult to please. He even went out of his way…

What is the one thing someone could do to ensure they'd never get an invite from you again? These folks were faced with that question after hosting some very impolite people. It doesn't matter if it's an unstoppable little toddler or a badly-behaved party-animal adult, when that person crosses the line, they won't be allowed back. Count yourself lucky if you've never had a terrible guest visit your home. That definitely happens from time to time. Some people shared that they hosted parties, onl…

Many people find themselves rarely in need of using their credit cards anymore. With a digital wallet or a smartwatch, you can tap to pay pretty much anywhere you go. The need for a physical wallet with actual credit cards is basically non-existent. But still, some places will not accept payment without a physical credit card, and you do not want to get stuck being unable to pay them. Like hotels, apparently. This Reddit story can teach you a lesson or two about always taking a credit card with…

Working a graveyard shift when you are at a front desk type of job is always… interesting. The stories that those employees tell in the break room afterward are always the funniest and most unhinged ones. The combination of the late hour, lack of sleep, the manager not being present, and weird customers always creates the best tales to be told. A lot of those tales end up on Reddit, much like this one. The OP of this story worked at the front desk of a hotel on a night shift during Mardi Gras.…
