Anywhere But Here
(It’s Memorial Day weekend in a tourist town. We also happen to have a couple of sporting events and a car show, so we’ve been sold out for weeks at least.)
Potential Guest: “I need a room.”
Me: “Normally, I would love to give you one, but unfortunately, I am sold out. [Hotel Nearby] has rooms, though.”
Potential Guest: “No.”
Me: “Well, that’s really the only thing in town that’s open right now.”
Potential Guest: “No.”
Me: “I mean, there’s [Sketchy Motel #1] and [Sketchy Motel #2], but they’re less than savory.”
Potential Guest: “No.”
Me: *turning my computer so she can see* “This website is really accurate, and there’s nothing else in town.”
Potential Guest: “NOTHING ELSE!”
Me: “Have a nice night!”
Potential Guest: *storming out* “SOMEWHERE!”
