Cleanliness is next to...


When Simone inspected the hotel room of a major hotel and resort line, she found q-tips around the room, an empty jar of Nuttela and brown stuff on the toilet. On the outside of the toilet.

She wasn't pleased.

She called housekeeping to complain. They listened and apologized. Simone told them that she was going to bed and fully expected them to clean up the place the next day before she returned for the night.

Only the maid didn't manage to come the next day. Simone was out all day and by then a couple more things had become apparent: they were out of toilet paper and three towels for 5 people does not provide enough coverage. Hubby caught the maid in the hallway of their floor. At 4:10 pm, she brought extra towels and explained to Simone that she would get to their room later on in the evening.

"That's not acceptable," countered Simone. "We'll all be in the room by 7 pm! But we'll be going to the pool in five minutes so you can come back then, I suppose."

The maid shrugged and left.

When Simone returned from swimming, the room still hadn't been cleaned.

The maid knocked on the room door at 8:30 pm. Simone glared at her and said, "No. We are not leaving the room now. Thank-you." And she closed the door.

Two hours later, the maid slid a little card under the room door. It said, "Since you had the DO NOT DISTURB sign on all day, I couldn't clean your room. Sorry for the incovenience."

Really?

The DO NOT DISTURB sign never left the INSIDE of the room all day.

Good grief!
