We stayed at the hotel last night. Our bathroom flooded with about an inch of water on the floor. The toilet, sink and bathtub clogged. It took 2 and a half hours for the RotoRooter guys to snake out the ENTIRE plumming system. They BROKE our toilet, so another plummer had to come in and put in a new big pipe thingy... I guess it wasn't the actual toilet, just the main pipe that holds in to the floor. We have to pay for it. we have to pay over time for the workers labor, and it all sucked big time. My bathroom now smells like nasty nasty poo air, and the bathtub has 10 kinds of nasty in it... gross. gross. gross. Luckily it was fresh water on the floor, the toilet just kept running, and no one caught it in time. I have to rewash 4 loads of laundry because there were baskets of clean laundry sitting on the floor. Funny thing though, I have 2000 flushes in my toilet so the water was a pretty blue color... unfortunately now I have towles and some clothes that have that pretty blue color on them.
Today at work this guy had a Comfort Inn pet in his pocket all day during meetings and stuff, then at lunch time he looked down and the pen had broken and stained his shirt, undershirt, coat, and skin. He was upset because we have "crappy pens" and demands that we pay for the drycleaning. the pen really exploded ALL the inc came out and saturated his clothes so I tried to sypathize with the idiot, but seriously, its a pen, sometimes they leak, is it really OUR fault that it broke? no. it has our logo on it, sorry buddy, but don't put ball point pens in your pocket and you'll be okay. Besides its not like he was wearing an expensive shirt and coat. Its funny how some things can put people over the edge and into pissed off mode, and how other people handle BIG mistakes like rate charges, or getting the wrong room type, with nothing more than a shrug and a "shit happens" attitude. I mean, I'd be pissed if a pen leaked on me, but I wouldn't be mad at the hotel for having crappy pens. I'd be pissed that I put a pen in my pocket and it broke.

Wow sounds like you could use a Mommy hug about now. HUG!! There does that feel better? It sounds like you had a crappy day,sorry about that. The whole pluming thing really sucks. There must be someone else you can blame it on and make them pay. You don't own the house why can't the guy that owns it take care of it? I thought that was one of the perks of renting. Would your renter insurance help out any? You do have renter insurance right? Or does that just help if someone breaks in? I never really knew what that was for.
The guy with the pen should sue the company that makes the pen not the store that buys the pen and puts it's name on it. Well... no you were right in the first place he needs to stop putting them in his pocket with out a pocket protecter. LOL Love you
Tell Kevin to give you a hug and say its from me.
Unless you guys switched to click pens, it sounds like he had the cap off the ball-point and stuck it in his shirt facing downward. Now, if he had it properly sheathed, the point would be facing upward in his pocket, and none of that probably would have happened at all. I'd say he's pretty much just SOL.
silly doug...smartest guy ever...seriously...:)
Sorry you had such a long day! Ray does the same thing with pens as your looney guy and he left one in his shirt pocket and ruined and entire load of whites.
Ugggg the bathroom would suck! But how is it your guys bill shouldn't you land lord be paying for it? Its his faulty plumbing, its not your fault his toliet runs.
no, it wasn't faulty plumming, it was clogged with all sorts of nasty... thats all i gotta say. Still I dont' think we should pay, but there is no use in argueing as we want to keep a friendly relationship with our property managment and owner.
