baby gates

[vacation_rentals_suck]

Guest: Dave, I am sort of disturbed that this house I rented is not what I would call kid friendly. I need you to install baby gates at the doors and I also need intercoms in each bedroom. I need a bigger fence around the pool as well as an alarm that will sound if one of the kids tries to get in it

Me: we cant do that, sir

Guest: ok well I am really not asking, Dave....I am telling you to do this

Me: and I am telling you no

Guest: it's as simple as drilling holes in the wall to put in baby gates and installing an alarm by the pool....why cant you accomodate us?

Me: this home is privately owned. I cant go drilling holes in someone's wall.

Guest: well if you dont and one of my kids gets injured, I can and will sue you

Me: again, this is a privately owned residence....there is no law that says the owner has to have baby gates and intercoms and alarms

Guest: well it's MY law

Me: well I'm afraid that wont hold up in court

Guest: Dave, you wont accomodate us, fine........I'll have a little surprise waiting for the maids when they get here to clean Saturday. Goodbye.

Hey, you can warm them now. Any chance of a big, fat, stinky fee being slapped on the bitch for planning it?

[Skelly]

How about, I don't know, try to keep an eye on your kids? A totally novel concept, I agree, but I think it got a bit of merit, and ought to be tried out atleast. But then again, that would mean WORK, and also THINKING, something that doesn't come easy to some people...

If having a child friendly rental place is that important to them, shouldn't they have done some research first? Oh, wait. I forgot what forum this is. Never mind.

[Exaspera]

And why take it out on the poor maids?

[EvilEmpryss]

Okay, baby gates (the portable kind, not the permanent ones), intercoms, even a motion-sensor-type alarm on the pool gate I *might* (in an extremely entitled world where customers pay lots of money to have the extras they want) think you might be able to accommodate.

But wanting you to come out an build a bigger fence?!?!?

Sure, no prob. Let me contact the owners of the residence, contact a builder for the plans, contact the county for the permit, make tons noise and mess, and deny you access to the pool while the builders rip out the old fence and install a newer, larger fence.

And no, we will not refund your money for the inconvenience. After all, we're only doing this to make you happy.

My mother always asks why I'm hesitant to go on vacation. Its because of people like this!!! These are the people around me who keep me from enjoying my vacation... I see enough suck at work, and I hate to see it happen to other people! What thought process leads you to believe that you have the right to DEMAND that someone else alters their HOUSE? Ah sucktomers... How we abhor them.

The only baby I see in this story is the one throwing a tantrum about how "unsafe" the house is.

And he knows he'll get charged for this, right? At least, I hope he'll be charged?

Uh, babygates are portable, at the worst, you go to the local store and buy them.
And so are baby monitor/radios.

Dave's Entitlement Whore Resort. Come one, come all, and if you ask for an elephant with zebra stripes, we will ship it first class!

[BookstoreEscapee]

Here's an idea...get some of the tension gates that don't damage the wall, a portable baby monitor, and WATCH YOUR FARKIN' KIDS!

[XCashier]

Unbefinglievable. When my son was a baby, I certainly did not expect anyone else to re-do their homes to accomodate him. Yes, it was a mild nuisance to have to haul around his playpen and baby gates, but that's part of being a parent.

You can ask me to bring the stars down from the sky, and I'll say no.
You can tell me to bring the stars down from the sky, and that won't make a difference.

and WATCH YOUR FARKIN' KIDS!

I guess they didn't bring the nanny on holiday with them.

You know, I read the title and saw it was a VRS post, and I knew exactly how the post was going to go.

[JustaCashier]

Asshole didn't include outlet covers and kid-proof cabinet latches in his bitchfest.

He's liable to get a few demerits from the Sucky Customer Commission for those two oversights!
