Getting Your Money Back From a Hotel

A friend of mine works at a hotel in the engineering department. He is a very caring person and takes his job seriously. One of his areas of expertise is in pool maintenance. He is certified in pool maintenance and construction as well as many other certifications. That being said, over a beer, he had told me about a complaint that was presented to him by the general manager. The story is this…

He starts his morning off by opening the pool area which consists of uncovering the indoor pool in what is called the courtyard. There is a 4 foot deep pool and 2 hot tubs there. The chemical levels are checked, (chlorine, P.H., alkalinity, & calcium), on the pool and hot tubs. The deck area is swept and the furniture area is arranged and clean. Now this is where the problem is.

The furniture is typical outdoor table and chairs, white, pvc type. How he cleaned them is by immersing a pool towel in the hot tub water and using it to clean it and then dry with a second pool towel. This was witnessed by a guest of the hotel. She never said anything when she checked out of the hotel but when she got home in front of her computer, she decides to open her mouth and bitch about this.

Her complaint was, that her child got so sick during the stay and that this method of cleaning these tables was disgusting and unsanitary and was responsible for making her kid sick and she is never coming back again and that she has pictures of him doing this.

Okay well lets look at this method of cleaning the tables. Granted this doesn’t seem to be a good way but the fact of the matter is that the hot tub is sitting at around 760 ppm of chlorine at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a good sanitizer. Enough to kill germs and bacteria. That’s the purpose of the chlorine in the tub. The so called contaminates are filtered out but in reality there is nothing from that hot tub that can hurt you. So he wiped the table down with a sanitizer. So the reality is, is that the table was cleaned and dried. There was nothing on it that can make anyone sick.

So what made her kid sick? Well did she ever stop and think that there are hundreds of people in a hotel at any given time and that a flu virus can spread in no time throughout a warm environment like their courtyard. Also they are staying in a from that may actually have germs from the previous guests. The fact is, that these rooms are not spotless and germ free when you occupy the room. No hotel room is. Someone could have ejaculated on the comforter and you would not know it. The maids only have a few minutes to get the room ready for the next guest. All these hotels are the same.

So what was this persons agenda? Well perhaps she wanted to get a discount on her room and I know full well that she has been credited some of her funds. However did she ever take into consideration that her bitching may get someone fired? Would she like it if her work did that to her when she really wasn’t doing anything wrong? She doesn’t care. Her arrogance and selfishness is proven by her cowardly act of sitting behind a keyboard and not giving this fellow an opportunity to prove his case. He would have been happy to have the health department do a swab after cleaning in this method and further he would have paid there whole hotel bill if anything grew in the peetrie dish.

You see his intention was good and reality states that there was nothing he did to make anyone sick. So I hope that this cowardly bitch sees this post and understands that she is nothing more than an ignorant selfish bitch that needs to get a brain and a life. Oh and her husband needs to grow some balls. Enjoy your 50 bucks you coward.

And that’s me…..

Bitching About Everything

 

The Abusiveness of Smoking

I pulled up to an intersection while driving in my car, and beside was a mini-van. There were 2 young children in the back seat and a rather large woman driving the vehicle. Her hand was raised to her mouth and between her fingers was a cigarette. I proceeded to watch her take a ‘drag’ from it and exhale into the cabin of the automobile. It was a rather cold day and I assume the woman had chosen not to allow any fresh air into the vehicle because all the windows were closed. Throughout this event, what struck me the most was the action, or should I say, the reaction of this woman's children when that cloud of toxic smoke plumed from her mouth. They looked like they would do anything to get out of there. It was only a few seconds before both the kids started to cough. It was obvious that this woman was choking these children with her smoke. 

So the question is simple. Is this a form of child abuse?

There is no doubt in my mind that it is. You could not get away with forcing a child to inhale toxic fumes of any sort let alone a carcinogen. So why do parents of these children get away with doing just that. They are forcing their children to inhale hundreds of toxins and carcinogens. These are chemicals that will cause cancer. The inhalation of these chemicals will damage a child's brain cells, neuron receptors and impair learning and motor function. With this in mind why do the parents continue to abuse their children? Yes it is abuse.

Oh no, spank your child and see what happens. The authorities find out and within the blink of an eye there will be government agencies crawling all over you telling you how bad a parent you are, but encase them in a box and subject them to an enormous amount of toxins and that’s just fine. I am sure spanking would be perfectly fine if the government could collect revenue from the action. They can call it a spanking tax.

Abuse? Yes it is abuse. It’s one of the worse forms of abuse there is. Look a few hundred years ago, there was no way to look into the effects of smoking but living in the 21st century, it doesn’t take rocket science to tell you that smoking kills, costs our health care system, which is money out of our pockets and that’s millions of dollars by the way, and has hundreds of toxic chemicals some of which will, not can, but will cause cancer.

The Government of Ontario has proposed a law to stop smoking in automobiles but hasn’t been implemented yet. For shame. Does this not mean that the Government is allowing and being a part of abusing children by letting these people lock their kids in their cars and subjecting them to cigarette smoke? Butt remember, spanking is against the law!   

Mind Programming

The fascinating thing about human beings is the fact that we are very smart and yet we find all the time in the world to program stupidity into our minds. This is defined by the efforts parents make to teach their children that a lot of things they do are wrong. From birth, as an example, it's not long after the baby gets home that a parent will begin to teach the child not to touch items around the house. Why not? Well there may be an element of danger to the event but for the most part it is absolutely stupid to constantly train a child to do what is natural!

Psychologically Speaking it is perfectly natural for a child to be inquisitive. The process of learning and development is enhanced by our actions. We feel and touch things just like they observe mom and dad doing to educate themselves as to what they should and shouldn't touch. Getting a feel for what is good to touch and what isn't. You can tell a child not to touch the stove because it is hot but unless they have had the sensation of hot they really would have no idea what hot is. And yet a parent will yell at the child because it has ventured near the stove several times making the child feel like it has done something wrong when it hasn't developed the sense of what hot is.

The child really has no idea that your ultimate end result is, as a loving parent, they are watching out for their safety and best interest. They only perceive that they have done something wrong but no idea what.

I am not saying to let a child burn their hand by touching a stove. But in a controlled way there are ways to educate the child to understand the right and wrong with a full understanding what a parent really means.

Ironically a person would likely allow a cat to crawl all over the house even to the point where it will jump on the counter where perhaps food is prepared but if their toddler touches their $200 lamp shade there is hell to pay. It's important to work with children right from birth to help develop their minds in understanding right and wrong, good and bad rather then confuse them and program them into absolute stupidity. The capability of a human brain to absorb and process information is astronomical. But it must be developed.
