Flavour of the Weak

[shanmonster]

I didn't expect to do four hundred dragons yesterday. My legs are still feeling it today, and this morning's weight training and running stint has made them even more trembly.

Yesterday, I had an entirely new flavour of dumb customer.

Silly Guest (SG): I want to book a room at the hotel for my cousin's wedding on Saturday.

Me: So would you like to stay the night of the wedding, or the night before?

SG: The night of the wedding.

Me: (books the reservation and goes through the wrap-up) ... and I have you booked for Saturday night at...

SG: Wait a minute. What night is Saturday night?

Me: That would be Saturday, August 13th.

Me: It's Tuesday.

SG: So is tonight Tuesday night or Wednesday night?

Me: It would most definitely be Tuesday night tonight.

SG: So Saturday night comes on Saturday?

Me: Yes.

SG: And Sunday is the next day?

Me: Yes.

SG: Ok!

Me: ...

Be glad he went away happy and reassured. Imagine if he'd had a complaint that you were trying to trick him into thinking Saturday was actually Sunday!

I think Homer Simpson said something like this on the episode with the Movementarians.
