About 40 years ago, my parents had a 20-something guest from Germany staying with us. He wore long leather pants and never took a shower even after staying with us for a week in the heat of the summer. He drank vodka all day long and into the night every single day. He never acted inebriated and seemed completely fine with his regimen. One night my boyfriend and I took him to the bar with us. He had something OTHER than vodka (wish I could remember what he drank) and became completely annihilated. After we got home, he refused to go into the house and ended up sleeping out on our front lawn in his leather pants. We lived in a densely populated part of the city. I'm not sure what time he got up in the morning but when I left for work, he was gone. Good times!
OMG 😂😂😂😂😂 I feel like you two handled this like SAINTS! I would have lost my shit having a guest behave like a complete liability! I've bartended in hotels for many years, I've seen my fair share of fuckery from hotel guests. But I've never actually been responsible for their actions.
PS: I laughed at the AI image: "Not him but close!"
@Kristi! That's why my husband wrote it-I was losing my shit! He's the level headed one. Stay tuned for more hotel guest 'fuckery' as you say-there's plenty. People are interesting for sure!
P.S. The AI feature on Substack cracks me up!!! love it-it was SOOO close.
Wow! It is a funny story, but like you Marlo, I would've lost my $hit!
God Bless Mark for being so calm in such a tense situation.
He's the calm one-my Italian heritage (as you well know!) doesn't allow for that! 😂
I’m with you ! I would’ve left him in the jungle!!
Would've liked to, but probably not the best for business! 😂

I love that story Ilona! Thanks for sharing!
What a nightmare. At least you got a glowing 5 star review from them on Trip Advisor, I bet...
Well....nope on that!
🤣 You had me laughing so hard!
Funny now! Unbelievable at the time!
Thanks!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!!! Poor Mark! He does have a very calming presence.
Yes, more than me! haha

All AI pics crack me up. Sometimes they have missing limbs, sometimes extra limbs. Such a crap shoot!
How have I never heard this story before?
No? I can't believe it either! So many more...
I love this story. What a hoot. Likely wasn’t too funny for Mark at the time.
You're right! Wasn't too funny at the time, just unbelievable!
