They’re all hilarious! Which do you think is the funniest?
I particularly liked 7, 12, 15, and 19.
I guess the brain shuts down when some people go on vacation.
When I was 14, I was the switchboard operator in a hotel. People frequently called me and asked for water to drink. Sometimes I’d tell them to take a glass and turn on the tap, other times is have the bellman bring them a pitcher of ice water, with ice cubes and water from tap water.
Twelve was my favorite. Nineteen just can’t be real.
I think every occupation could make a list like this. I could write a book with the ridiculous questions we get asked at an accounting office. Especially on April 15.
Some people must have total tunnel vision.
My favorites were the topless beach and the pregnancy blame on king sized bed.
Sometimes the reviews on trip advisor make me wonder about people as well.
I always laugh to myself when people leave the country and are shocked that it’s not like hime.
This just happened to us tonight…
I am at a beautiful resort on our annual extended family vacation. We were at a very nice buffet with grilled lobsters, fish, lamb, steak. Some of us got lobsters right away, which my sister didn’t. When she went up there later, they were out of lobsters. She started with, “What kind of place is this to run out of lobsters? It is only 8 and you are already out.” Some of young adults (our kids) thought it was funny, so they started to chime in, “Where are my lobsters? I want my lobsters.” It took us a little while to figure out my sister was very upset and she wasn’t joking. I pulled a waiter aside to ask if he could do something just to shut my sister up and I was willing to tip generously. After a bit of wait, the waiter told us that they would bring more lobsters out just for us. I thought it would be one or two just for my sister, but NO…20 minutes later they came out with a lobster for each of us (12 people). Most people at the table said they were full and couldn’t eat another bite. I promptly told everyone that no one was getting up until every single lobster was eaten. I don’t think we will be eating lobster for a while.
Oldfort, your post made me laugh outloud!!! 
Your poor sister, deprived of her lobster and made fun of!
Oldfort, your sis is lucky you are nice and have her back. 
We will laugh about this later. We do this every year and there is usually one melt down, tonight was the night. Our tag line for this year will be, “Where is my lobster.”
Haha, I would have said the same thing.
@oldfort were you charged for all of those 12 additional lobsters? wow
Some people are just terribly naive, self-focused, or simple-minded when they travel. I know that I’ve told this story before…When my BIL got married, his then-fiancee had told him where her dream honeymoon location was and he agreed to take her there (so he was responsible for “the honeymoon”…which was a “drive to” location). The location is a very popular honeymoon, but remote location. People book many months in advance. There are several hotels there, but they all book up early.
BIL and SIL have a June wedding and off they go, driving for several hours. They get to the hotel lobby and BIL asks to book a room! He had not made a reservation! He thought they could just “show up”. There wasn’t a room anywhere. They had to drive a couple hours to another city just to find a room for that night…and the next day they just went home.
My in-laws thought that they could “blow off” their Sunday flight home and show up the next day with their “old tix” and get on a plane.
