Me: “Front desk, how can I help you?”
Customer: “There’s a noise outside and it’s keeping me awake.”
Me: “What does it sound like ma’am?”
Customer: “Squeaky toys or something. Do you allow dogs here?”
Me: “Yes, ma’am, we do, but they’re all on the first floor. Let me see if we anyone is out back and I’ll call you right back to let you know what I find out.”
(I go and check out back and there isn’t anyone out there. However, the sound of the early spring frogs is deafening. I call her back.)
Me: “Ma’am, those are frogs.”
Customer: “Well, can you turn them off?”
Me: “No ma’am, they’re frogs.”
Customer: “Well, I didn’t come here for your nature sounds. I’m only staying here because I need a place to sleep. I refuse to pay for the sound of frogs.”
Me: “Well, the nature sounds are complimentary.”
Customer: “Oh, well…goodnight, then.”
