You may or may not be aware but my partner and I run a cleaning company and also manage holiday apartments for owners. We were talking with a fellow Mod tonight about some of the funnies we have come across in our work and I thought I would share some of them with you folks.

We got called at 11pm one night and were asked what the weather would be like the next day as the guests were thinking of going on a trip!

My phone rang at 7am on a Sunday morning for me to be informed that the lady had seen all the DVDs in the apartment and would I bring her some more urgently as watching DVDs was what they did on holiday!

We were in Puerto for the weekend and got called on the Sunday late at night to say the TV reception was bad and could we sort it ASAP as they HAD to see big brother every night.

Do any of you have any experiences you want to share? I'm sure a few of the bar owners here could share a few!

We had a phone call from a lovely irish lady to apologise for the broken relaxer on the balcony and would we deduct the replacement from their Security Bond.

"Husband was feeling amorous" was her explanation.

Once had a client that asked if they could put their luggage in the apartment a day early, only to return 20 mins later with 4 - 5 pages of snagging such essential items as

in the bedroom the bulb in the right lamp is 40 watt and the one in the left is 60 watt.
The plug in the bath is ONE mm too small.

and the list went on.

We had 'arranged' for this couple to stay in a property that is not normally rented out as they were desparate and needed somewhere to stay for 5 - 6 nights

That reminded me Emma of a time we were on a cruise.

We were heading back to the cabin late and night and there were two old dears out in the corridor in their nighties. I asked them if everything was alright. They said they couldn't sleep for the engine noise. I said I would phone the Captain from my cabin and ask him to switch them off as I knew him well. "Thank you that is so kind of you came the reply"

We get some crackers as well - A guy once asked me if the area would be safe for two sixteen year old girls (that's up to you mate), and someone asked if her three year old would be able to climb over the balcony wall (well yes, if you allow them to climb on the chairs)!!

I was on a plane sat in front of an older lady and a young child. About 20 mins into the flight the child started complaining that she was feeling cold and in a draft so the old lady called the stewardess over and asked her to close the window!

In the days of the pesetas a woman in a restaurant once asked me if the restaurant took British money or did they only take this foreign stuff...

A big gang of us were on the plane to Tenerife and several of the women had never flown before.
Into the flight one of these women, a 'very large' lady, got up from her seat to go and talk to someone sitting in an aisle seat a few rows down.
As she sat on the arm of the seat on the other side of the aisle, someone shouted, "Lily, for Christ's sake - don't sit there, you're tilting the plane over!"

I've never seen that woman move as fast as she did getting back to her seat.

PS. We also managed to get some of the women to put a few bob in the whip round for the Captain.
