RE: Laidback Retirement this ain't!

in Silver Bloggers2 years ago

When my mother had a guest house, I got them a second number just for the guest house, that way they could swtich off!
Oh god yes those "hourly booking" requests, so you get them too!
Yes not living long after retirement was what sprang to mind.
Have a magical Sunday Lizzie:)

So it happens elsewhere in the world too🙈
I should answer yes, we can charge hourly but our minimum stay is 24 hours!
Those requests drive me nutty🤬
Enjoy your Sunday as well Ed 🤗

HAHA yes it happens everywhere I think. Don't be so speedy to say yes. I remember they had one guest who was a woman who booked a night, however after the third gentleman caller rang the doorbell, and the noises, they had to ask her to leave 🤣🤣🤣

LOL, all the local BnB's are on a whatsapp chat group and that's exactly what happened to one of them. A lady (who turned out to be a lady of the night or day in this instance. Guys kept on coming and going, her little venture was thriving that day so they had to kick her out😅 I've had what definitely were pimps, a couple of madams, horny guys...one even had the nerve to be explicit saying he wants to book the afternoon to have some fun with his mistress, AND when I very coldly told him we do not take hourly or daily bookings, he said: 'Ohhh...God bless!'
My poor phone didn't know what happened as I hit that red button so sharply!
I could write a book on how they try to hoodwink one with some of the requests. They even call it a business meeting, which it is in a way🤣🤣🤣
The only time I take a 1 night booking is when it's a legit company, but online it's a minimum of 2 nights as you never know who's coming🤪

hehe oh yes I can just imagine you hitting that red button sharply!
Well you are right, it is a business meeting, the oldest profession and all that🤣🤣🤣
