Having kids is a certain kind of marathon. It’s definitely not one that ends at around the 26th mile, though.Nae, this marathon is measuredin time, not distance. And depending on a number of things, it might take up to 20 or even 25 years to finish it.
Getting some unadulterated and uninterrupted sleep as a parent is the purest form of a myth

Two drunken women got their just desserts for being loud after their hotel neighbor removed the “do not disturb” sign and had room service enter
The story goes that a 41-year-old man, dad of 3 under 9, finally got a chance at a child-free vacation with the Mrs. Besides the activities, the guy was looking forward to finally getting some uninterrupted sleep. And it would’ve been the case if not for two women next door to their hotel apartment.
Long story short, room service didn’t see the sign, which meant that they were free to enter the women’s room to do some cleaning. Well, waking them up and catching them “off guard”, miserable, and hungover too. OP did tip room service $50 for the inconvenience, but the petty revenge seemed to have been well worth it.

Many others approved of this. This one person elaborated that they would’ve taken $50 any day to catch “a stray [bullet] of that magnitude”. Some live for the fun, ya know.

And sometimes not reporting nasty hotel neighbors to the staff is good as the staff does have some horror stories of their own
Just like retail and transport, hospitalityis knownto be home to nightmare clients. Imagine having a sleepwalker as a client—one who gets lost in the middle of the night only to be found butt-naked in the linen room. Or having to witness a cook and an attendant duking it out in the hotel kitchen, knives included. Or walking into someone’s inability to use the toilet, instead opting for towels and tubs.
AirBnBs are no exception either. AirBnBs provide a bit of a unique service compared to hotels, allowing for, say, patrons who love partaking in the art of passion with ladies of the streets to get away with it on any given night. Or twelve.
The same goes with other shady activities. You can never know when a junkie den organizer will move in and then quite literally ransack your place. Or someone maybe rents it and hosts a rave?
You can now imagine why some don’t complain about minor things to the hotel staff or AirBnB hosts.
What you can, however, complain about is whatever your hotel experience was in the recent or not-so-recent past in the comment section below. Do include all the juicy details!
