Why do people make such big issues off of small things?

Hi, kprofgames! I don't that he likes his job too much either. Yes, it is so much bigger and worser things to be stressing over and about, than one little bath mat, that will be returned anyway. He is a grown old man, he needs to start acting like it!

Hi, smileonstar! No, I am not that lucky to have him clean my room, because he acts like he does not want to clean my room. And he does not always have my room to clean everyday. It could be a couple of days, but that has changed for a while now. I understand that he has so much of pressure on him, but why take it out on me when I am kind and patient with him. If he had to rub the wrong person the wrong way, he would have been toast! He should try to maintain an decent attitude when he is around his guests. If he possibly cannot, then he should not work anymore. Or he can just trade my room for someone else's room. Let someone who is cheerful clean my room. I am not impressed with his huffing and puffing.

and for what? It's not as if he caught you smuggling it out of the place or something...

Yeah, I know, ain't it, though..

Hi, dawnald! I agree with you. One of the housekeepers gave me the extra bath mat. That is what they normally do. I have been given so much of clean linen, until I had to return the extras to the laundry room. So, as far as me getting too much of linen, I will be honest enough to give it all back. This man is wasting his time making an issue out of a small and simple thing.

Yes, he needs to get a life! Really! All my dirty linen will be given back to him anyway, so they will not be short because if an extra mat that I have.. I will be glad when I get the heck out of here! If he wants to blame anyone, blame his co-workers, the ones that has given me the extra bath mats.

heck i would ask him if he would rather you move out and him have to explain to his boss why they lost a regular customer over his attitude! its not like people are all going out and getting hotel rooms in this economy! and im sure other places wouldnt have a fit over a freaking bath mat!

Hi, suzzy3! Yes, let me just remind them, without me being here this long, this room would not have gotten rented out. The room next door to us took until about 4 weeks until it was rented. So, when I am good and gone it may take that long for this room to be rented like the other one. Without me, this is money lost for them. He could have an extra $2,000 in his pocket because of us.

Hi, prathna! No, he is not doing his job too well. If they were all housekeepers that were supposedly doing their job, then I would not end up with extra linen. If I have an extra one it is because an housekeeper was not paying attention to what they were giving me. So, in this case, it is the housekeeping's fault. I did not beg or forced them to give this extra bath mat to me. Nor did I ask. I have had a few women give me so much of linen that I did not need. I would have to go to the laundry room and give it all back. If they are so short on cloths, then I would never have to give back more to them. It has happened more than once. I really think that this man is just trying to be a pain in the ***!

I truly feel what you are saying pranthna. But, I have a very tough life myself as you can see. We have to scrape up money just to put into this room everyday, vs the housekeeper may have to pay monthly or live free where he is at. I am not the only nerves that he has been wracking here either. One of the lady housekeepers said that he has been getting on her nerves too, starting with her for no special reason. This man needs a reality check. I am stressed out as I am writing to you as of now. It never excuses his behavior for why he acts like this everytime that he comes to my room. When he is working in a public's eye he has to maintain a courteous and pleasant attitide at all times. If he cannot do this, he will have to excuse himself and take a chill pill alone. As guests, if a housekeeper has an nasty attitude, it will make a guest feel uncomfortable. This will make them want to leave and go somewhere else to stay, thus leaving the hotel with money lost. An nasty attitude can bring reprucussions somewhere along the line. I understand that he may be going through hell and high water, but he must TRY to be respectable at all costs. He is being watched and his attitude is costing the management money. So, his behavior has to be adjusted when working in a public facility. He will have to deal with many people that may be nasty. I am very polite and he should treat me the same way. His behavior is unacceptable! He could not act like this at one of those high and prestigious hotels up state. That would not be tolerated. If he goes somewhere to work acting like that, he will be fired. I have spoken to many managers and superviors about many worker attitudes that I have dealt with, and all of them are very angry at how their employee has treated me. They lose clientle when a worker causes problems. They woould rather lose an employee than to lose an customer, that could be with them for life. An employee can be easily replaced with someone that does not mind working hard.

well try to be in the mans shoes, empathize, maybe he has alot going on in his life, his family or something maybe which might be affecting his work, maybe he cant stop thinking about it and it might hamper his work. dont always blame the help, because thats what people usually tend to do whether the help are to be blamed or not. they have a really tough life. we are lucky enough to stay in hotels, these people might hate this job but have no other choice because they need to survive with food clothing and shelter

Hi, zavala56469! Yes, it is best to move on. No need to argue with a grown man that is in a child's body.

Hi, petuchini36! It is very obvious that he has some personal problems going on. And I feel that I am one of them. I believe that this man has something against me. It could be anything. He will try to pick a fight with me, for no reason. I have to be careful what I say around him. He takes everything that I say to him to heart. I feel like I have to plead with him, so that he does not take my words the wrong way. So, I have gotten to the point, where I don't say anything to him. When he is rude and obnoxious, I will ignore him and change the subject to something positive. He seems bitter and offended easily. Which is not good at all. Especially with the type of job that he has.

Hi, patrickmaher! Welcome to myLot! This housekeeper is like this every damn time. He carries the same attitude everytime that I ask him to clean my room. That is why I don't let him clean it anymore. I have already complained to the manager about his behavior and attitude. So, it is kind of odd, don't you think, that he is always in a bad mood when he comes to my room?
