I just had to post this one since they gave me a good set of chuckles tonight 
I'm training a few newer people, and part of that is showing them some "informative videos". One of them sucks (your usual corporate video that just...BLOWS...I've watched it 28 times now, and have to watch it again tomorrow night) and the other is actually pretty interesting since it was distributed by the police and has lots of explosions and shiny things. Anyway, while showing these videos, I get my first interruption...I have to go find someone who's passed out on a couch and kick him out.
When I get there with my sidekick, this guy is long gone...he's paying down, his shirt is pulled way up (giving us a wonderful view of his gut), and the usual calls of "sir" while shaking his foot get us nowhere. Plan B is to stick my foot out and shake his foot, which is usually enough to wake people up (I do this so, if they jerk up and try to jump at me, they have further to go). My precautions work, since he jerks up, wide eyed, and goes "HUH!?" Then he sees Mr. Sidekick and jerks to the side again, once again going "HUH!?!?" He continues jerking, complete with a "HUH!?" about 8 or 9 more times before he finally answers our one simple question: "Are you staying here?"
The answer is, of course, no, and we send him on his very confused way. We then play the guessing game as to exactly what drug causes that reaction...
About an hour later, someone is sleeping on a different couch...DING, round two! This one wakes up in about the same manner, and I keep looking at him since he seems very familiar, but I can't quite place it. I'm trying to find out if he's a guest, and at the same time trying to figure out where I know him from, and finally, he utters the one word that makes everything click for me.
"Buh." ( http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=33087 )
Me: BUH! I missed you! How's those taxi issues going?
Guy: Buh.
(rampant snickering from the people behind me)
Buh is not a guest. Well, Buh is not a guest here. Buh is a guest of another hotel down the street, which I manage to find out about 5 minutes later. Buh also has some issues with staying vertical, but we finally manage to get Buh into a taxi (reading the other post, I should've known better), but we do make sure he can pay the $5 fare before they leave. In cash.
45 minutes later, the cabbie comes back...seems Buh is in a lot of trouble (Buhble?) since he had some issues at the other hotel. See, the taxi pulled up, and he crawled out of the back seat...then proceeded to pass out on their front drive. When they woke him, he refused to pay the $5 fare, and claimed he never took the taxi over there (yet there are so many witnesses). Buh then made a bad decision...Buh decided to take a swing at the cabbie. Now, to the credit of the driver, he didn't do what many of us would have (tear the kid apart), but he did keep him from getting in too many shots. Buh must not hit too hard though, because the driver was laughing about it like it was the funniest thing he had ever seen.
Buh is at the local jail now. Buh is going to wake up with a bad headache and quite a bit of shame. Poor Buh...I'm going to miss him!
