silly people

This is what made me giggle this morning... I was standing behind the front desk.... breakfast is in the lobby...

GUEST: "Where do we get our free breakfast?"
ME: "You get it right there" I pointed to the breakfast buffet area 5 feet behind her.
GUEST: "How do we get our free breakfast?"
ME: "You... get it... right there...behind you"
GUEST: "I know where it is but how do we get it?"
ME: "...."
GUEST: "We just sit right there?"
ME: "Yes, you sure do"
GUEST: "We sit anywhere"
ME: "Yup"
GUEST: "Uh.. ok"
ME: " :) "

So the guest and her daughter walk over to a table and sit down

GUEST: "So are you the only one here today"
ME: "yup"
GUEST: "So you'll be the one getting our breakfast"
ME: "....um... no, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you"

(because I am obviously the confused one in this whole conversation)

ME: "You help yourself, its a complimentary, continental breakfast"
GUEST: "We have to get it ourselves?"
ME: "Yes"
GUEST: "uh... oooookaaaay...thats different...."

HELLOOO!!! You're at a Comfort Inn, a three star hotel... its like she never heard of this whole continental breakfast thing before... Then she walked over to the breakfast and said to her daughter "I guess this is all they have"

C'Mon... we have waffles, eggs, pastries, oatmeal, fruit, bread, bagels, juice, 3 cereals, muffins... if you can't find something you like out of all of that.. then go to Perkins down the street!

Then instead of reading the directions on how to make a waffle (you know the three step process of fill cup, pour into waffle machine, turn handle...) She just said "how the hell do you do this? Am I just supposed to KNOW how to do this?"

Then her DAUGHTER who looks like about 7 or 8 said "Mom, it tells you how to do it right there..."

So I laughed as this mother slowly but surely figured out how to make a waffle... they sat down, split their waffle and left, after quitely complaining that there wasn't whip cream and fruit to top it with... hahaha.

Whatever, lady.

ok What!!!!! I've never been to any hotel in my entire life where they served me breakfast. EVER and I'm guessing most people never have. Was she drunk? Rich, snobby and stupid or broke and stupid?

That's why I clean rooms. As gross as a toilet can be they at least don't say and do stupid things.

I wonder sometimes how people like that have gotten this far in life. Poor kids.

People are funny. And not the "haha, look at the bear playing with himself" funny, but the "how do they manage to get their pants on" funny, the kind that's not really funny but more sad, you know? You know.
