Guest: this is my forth call I have made and I am very upset

Me: I am very sorry

Guest: yea so am I.......they didnt tell me there was alligators on the island and I am stuck in the villa

Me: is there a gator outside your door? I can call animal control

Guest: no but I am afraid to come out in case a gator gets me or one of my kids

Me: well ma'am, the gators generally dont bother you if you dont approach them or harass them

Guest: I am too scared to come out. You need to come get me out of here and I am suing you people for this. I would have never come here had I known you had gators. I am about to hyperventilate. I need to be airlifted out of here.

Me: ma'am we cant do that

Guest: well youre gonna have to do it....I am too frightened to come out of this villa

Me: I will call security

Guest: yea and you better send your manager down here

Me: yes ma'am

This was not a prank. Security went and got the lady out and she kept saying she needed to be be airlifted because she was scared to walk outside for the gators.
The manager gave her a full refund and sent her on her way and she says she is suing us. LOL

[crazylegs]

Riiiiiiiiiigggghhhht, an airlift for a panic attack?

Sure...

[JustaCashier]

Heh, as Security got near her villa, they should have screamed out "HELLLLLLPPPPP!! Omigawd a GATOR'S got me!! HELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!"

"It's alright ma'am, the alligators are well trained, if you see one just rub his belly and it'll calm down"

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Let's call Steve Irwin; he'll jam his thumb in the gator's butthole and make everything all better!

I do believe this is what happens when you vacation someplace you haven't researched.

[Mara-chan]

Where did this happen?

Maybe I'm just used to it, living in Florida almost my whole life. I remember when I was little there was a 6' gator that decided to nap in front of our neighbor's garage. Cops came, HANDCUFFED the gator and put it in the trunk to release it in another lake.

It my current apartment there's a small (4') gator in the pond just behind our place. We go down at night to take the trash out or go for walks without even thinking about it. We did watch it for about an hour a few months ago as it stalked a bird while two TURTLES kept harassing it until it swam away.

We SO wanted to watch it eat one of those annoying birds.


Aligators rarely attack people just walking unless they startle them, try pissing off the gators, or try feeding them. Golf courses are usually the main site, because Golfers will try to reach in close to them to get their balls back.

If they eat the occasional golfer we don't mind. It keeps the gators happy and there's plenty more golfers around.

Haha! Awesome! Or tell her that the gators won't get her as long as she is under the bed.

[Interior Desecrator]

She should come visit us. We have bears...and snakes...and various forms of mountain lions...and spiders. Worse yet...we have tourists!

I'll take a gator over a spider any day...

[wagegoth]

We've got mountain lions showing up in the suburbs. But I'm more scared of the gangsta pit bulls.

[volatile]

hahaha...you tell some good stories.

airlifted huh? she would have to come out to be airlifted. i guess she wants to be airlifted through the roof.

[Nox]

At first I was thinking, "I can understand that, those things are bloody dangerous!"

Then I realised you were talking about aligators, and not salt-water crocodiles like we get down here Yeah, alligators are inaggressive, unless she poked one with a stick she'd have had no problem. Salties on the other hand...

[Imogene]

Even then, if she could manage to get her hands around the alligator's muzzle, she would've been safe-ish... alligators don't have the muscle to wrench their mouths open if they're closed.

[Cat]

Pshht....my g-parents live in FL, they are in their late 80s, and have gators chillin in the river near their house. The one they see most often is "Ally." (they also had a bobcat named "Bobby")

[Bramblerose]

I am really unsurprised. I once tried to keep a camper from working herself into dry heaving hysteria over the *potential* of wolf spiders.

Oh, and if you ever read a book about a woman overcoming agoraphobia and blaming a camp in Kansas City, I am probably one of teh changed name adults in that book (different camper).
