Here are some lists of wonderful things our guests have said and done this year (this is a work in progress, I can't remember it all at the mo, I'm sure I'll be updating it):
Stupid things said:
'Do you have hot running water?'
'There's a red truck.' 'Yes there is. Well spotted' I reply. Eventually I figured out that this woman with an affected posh accent (her kids were broad yorkshire) was trying to tell me that it was blocking her exit from our property. Then I had to convince her that the truck was in front of the private entrance/exit to The Cottage and she needed to use the main entrance/exit where she had come in through the previous day. Took some persuading.
'There's no hot water.' 'Have you let the tap run?' I reply. 'Yes, I let it run a bit until it started getting warm, then I switched it off and came to see you.'
'There's a cockroach in the gite'. No, just a regular bug.
Things I don't feel the need to know about:
The couple in their seventies telling me about their sex life.
Things people say and do to make us think that they've done the cleaning:
The afternoon before they leave: 'I'm just off to do the cleaning now so that it will be all nice and clean for you tomorrow.'
'We've done the cleaning, I followed your little note on the fridge door, done just what you say'.
Someone goes back into gite just as they are leaving: 'Oh, I've just mopped the floor and now it'll be all dirty again'.
Pour blue stuff down the toilet.
