Our hotel has sold out of doubles, so I am asking everyone checking in:
Me: âDo you need one bed or two?â
Our double queens are cheaper than a single king, so single travelers will book those often. If they needed two beds, I would just upgrade them to a double-bed suite anyway.
Two ladies came in with a bunch of kids, and I asked them the same question. One of the ladies snapped at me.
Lady: âIs it not written there? Do you not see what was reserved?â
Me: âYes, maâam, I see you booked a standard queen. I was just asking to see if we could get you into a little bit of a bigger room for your party. But I will make sure you get exactly what you booked.â
They looked at each other, scoffed, and said:
Both: âAw, man.â
So, I did some switcheroos and upgraded someone else who had booked a double. The satisfaction of hearing them sigh was magnificent!
Our single-bed suites also have a pull-out couch, so thatâs why I asked the ladies who had kids, but they didnât let me get that far into the question before going off about how I canât read.

We struggled to come up with a name during the pregnancy, so weâve only just settled on a name.
Mom: âHeâs so adorable! What do I call him? He looks like a George, or an Edward, or aââ
Me: ââIndiana.â
Mom:*Sniffs.* âNo, no, that wonât do. He needs a real name, not some trendy social media stuff!â
Me: âMom, youâre acting like weâre still deciding. Itâs done. His name is Indiana.â
Mom: âWell, thatâs stupid! Heâs going to be bullied all his life for being named after a state!â
Me: âIndiana Jones would disagree.â
Mom: âHeâs not real! No one is named after a state!â
Me: âDakota Fanning and Johnson.â
Mom: âI donât even know who they are!â
Me: âReal people. Actresses.â
Mom: âWell, I mean people of note! Not some flimsy celebrity!â
Me: âVirginia Woolf?â
Mom: âWell, thatâs different, these are all women, so itâs not as bad! Boys are meaner and thereâs noââ
Me: ââTennessee Williams.â
Mom: ââŚâ
Me: âSo weâre done? We can move on now?â
Mom: âStill a stupid name.â

This is a broken or duplicate post This is an offensive story Other story issue <!â Post Tags + Location 5/18/17 â> Bizarre, Home, Jerk, Strangers, USA, Yard Sale | Friendly | August 30, 2025 I was doing some spring cleaning and decided to put everything I didnât want on a table in front of my house. People came by throughout the day, picking through and asking weird things like âDo you have this shirt in a large?â Or âI was really hoping you would have some adult DVDsâŚâ
The woman who took the cake arrived hours after everyone else had stopped coming, right as my husband and I were sitting down to dinner.
Woman:*Rapidly knocking on the door.* âHello? Hello! Is anybody home?â
Husband:*Opening the door.* âHi. Can I help you?â
Woman:*Shoves a box of random items into his arms.* âHere you go!â
Husband: âUm⌠why?â
Woman: âFor your yard sale thing here.â
Husband: âWe arenât selling anything. Weâre giving away our things.
Woman: âOh. WellâŚâ *She turns to leave.* âHave a nice day!â
My husband catches up to her and puts the box on the trunk of her car.
Woman: âI donât want it!â
Me: âNeither do we!â
Woman: âWell, just⌠just take it!â
Me: âFor $100, Iâll take everything.â
Woman: âOkay!â *She holds out her hand.*
Me: âNo. If you want us to take your junk, youâre paying us.â
Woman: âAbsolutely not!â
Husband: âThen take your box and leave.â
The woman snatches the box off her car and drives off. Later that evening, we were watching TV when our front porch light turned on and the camera announced that there was a person outside. We looked out to see the woman running away.
Husband: âHey! No!â
Woman: âItâs yours now! Bye!â
She drove away. We looked at the box: broken toys, ripped books, stained clothing, nothing even worth putting out. We reached out to the local police, but they basically told us âItâs just trash, throw it away.â
Instead, I went on our townâs Facebook group and uploaded the videos of the woman trying to give us the box earlier in the day and dropping it, and running in the evening.
Me: âHi neighbors! It looks like one of you got a little confused about what ânoâ meant today. If anyone knows this woman, please let her know that we did not want her box of broken toys and dirty laundry. The police have been contacted.â
I didnât include the part where they said they wouldnât/couldnât help us, but it didnât matter. In almost no time, people were commenting, all tagging the same woman. Some of them asked, âis this you?â while others called her out on her behavior. Woman messaged me.
Woman: âTake that down! You have no right to record me! That is defamation, and I will sue you!â
Me: âSend your lawyer to come get your s*** sitting by the mailbox then.â
She didnât say anything else, but she did show up in the very early hours (nearly 3 AM) to collect her box. The camera and porch light turned on again just in time to catch her coming up to the porch and knocking everything off the table before throwing up two middle fingers. My husband and I considered contacting the police again, but since they werenât helpful the first time, we didnât. Instead, I updated my post to include a screenshot of our messages and the video of her last visit.Me: âThank you to everyone who helped identify yesterdayâs visitor. As you can see, she came by to get her box this morning. Have a good weekend, Town residents!â
In the end, everything we put out was given away. It was frustrating to deal with that crazy woman, but looking back, it did give us a good laugh!

Fine, whatever. But then he starts trying to slam one shut. Since theyâre locked into the mounts, even halfway would crack the screen.
Me: âHey kiddo, donât do that. Youâll break the computer.â
Suddenly, his mom swoops in (from where, I have no idea).
Mom: âDonât yell at my child!â
Me: âI didnât yell. I asked him not to close the laptops, because theyâll break if he does.â
Mom:*Yelling.* âYou yelled! Iâve been here lots of times with disabled people using the laptops, and theyâve never been yelled at before!â
I just stare at her for a moment, then:
Me: âEvery disabled person Iâve seen here showed more control than you just did, let alone your kid.â
She grabbed her kid and stomped off while the nearest customer muttered, âFinally, someone said it.â

This is a broken or duplicate post This is an offensive story Other story issue <!â Post Tags + Location 5/18/17 â> Australia, History, New South Wales, School, Sydney | Learning | August 30, 2025 Iâm teaching history to a class of Year 4 students (ages nine to ten). They are learning about the European explorers of Australia. Today, we are discussing Captain James Cook, the English settler who charted the east coast of Australia. One student eventually raises her hand.
Student: âI thought that a different explorer discovered Australia.â
Me: âWell, a few explorers charted different areas of the country. James Cook was the first to chart the east coast, but he wasnât the first to discover Australia. Who was it that you were thinking of?â
Student: âGeorge Washington? Wasnât he one of the explorers?â
Me: âNo⌠for a wide variety of reasons.â
