Barking up the wrong...room

[bhskittykatt]

I think this guest was trying to scam us. But I had an alibi!

I came into the office to check out of my room (I have the "privilege" of staying the night when I'm MOD".) I had my dog with me. The guest who was in the room next to me was checking out as well. He was already complaining about the highway noise.

I hand CW my key.

CW: "All done with room [number]?"
Me: "Yep."

Guest looked at me. He looked at my dog. He looked at the room map.

Guest: "That dog! That dog was barking and kept me up! 3am, he was just barking his head off!"
CW *gives me a curious look, then turns back to the guest*: "3am? You sure?"
Guest: "The barking woke me up! I checked my alarm clock and it was a little bit after 3! You're dog woke me up!!!"
CW: "Errr..." *looks at me*
Me: "Sir, I left for my paper route at around 2:30am. I brought my dog with me on the route, as I always do. I did not return until after 4. There was no dog in my room at 3am, and the rest of the time, my dog was completely quiet."
Guest: "Er...uh...well someone had a barking dog!"

Yeah, nice try buddy.

Regardless of alibi, I find it amusing that the person he was complaining about was essentially the person he would be complaining to. Discount denied!

I'd half expect him to try to claim he knew the manager next. But the universe doesn't like me enough to provide THAT level of comedy.

At least one SOB was pointlessly barking in the morning.

Actually it was the newlywed couple in 4C...
