"Hotel Pools" - Jim Gaffigan (Mr. Universe)

[@ashleytrueblood2200]

Having worked as a "housekeeper" in a hotel, this is 100% accurate. If people knew how disgusting some individuals are, they'd probably sleep outside.

[@amehka5416]

You are so right, I work in a 5 star hotel and I never could understand why people use towels hundreds of others have used.

[@lesliemccormick6527]

I used to work at a high end hotel in the Alberta Rockies just after high school. One of my friends worked in Housekeeping; the Head Housekeeper was a total bitch on wheels so the floor supervisors were terrified of her and were then harsh with the chambermaids, cracking the whip to get their set of rooms cleaned at break-neck speed ....some of the chambermaids washed the drinking glasses in the toilet and re-wrapped them or used toilet bowl cleaner to clean the sink and tubs- which made them look shiny, but as soon as water touched the shower surface it was slick as ice and a lawsuit waiting to happen, or only ran the vacuum in the middle of the room, or vacuumed the bathroom floor instead of washing it, or did not change the sheets every day, or only changed the pillowcases for checkouts if the room was only used one night... NONE of this was ok, ever, but if they were caught they were suspended without pay for 3 days, instead of fired because it was hard to get replacement staff quickly, and were only fired if they did it again; meanwhile, the rest of the staff had to pick up their slack. The sheets were so starched that the maids often broke out in rashes from handling them...

@@blacklabelqlewis Plenty of Stand up falls short of this. This is a great example 'of' this kind of joke/stand up! It's a sign that this is quality material. Some routines have better pay off and this example of that kind of top quality 'pay off' and interconnections; in my opinion. I can think of several examples that are 'that good' and memorable too, this deserves recognition as 'top class'. I hope that clarifies.

[@Mcsnooters]

@@auberjean6873 Stories, please!

[@auberjean6873]

@@Mcsnooters, our 400+ room resort was big on training in other departments for when employees called off work. I volunteered to spend 2 weeks in house keeping, among other departments. First day I had to follow the man who sterilizes the glasses. He carried 5 glasses at a time out of the unit with each hand--each finger was in a glass so he could carry 10 at once and take a break sooner. Ugh. He was dirty and didn't wash his hands after he used the toilet in a tiny room that only had room for a toilet. I know bc I waited for him by the only sink which was next to the sanitizer machine and that, too, was disgusting enough. He put the little plastic caps around each glass, further getting his hands all over the glasses. I was thoroughly grossed out at that point. He got a call to fix a toilet that wouldn't flush, so I followed him. He wasn't wearing gloves. He reached into the toilet and removed solid waste and a crazy amount of toilet paper which he placed into a plastic bag, then wiped his hands on the guest's towel hanging above the toilet in such a way as to not disturb the towel display! The room had been cleaned... We went back to the sanitizer and all those "sanitized for your safety" glasses. It was time to remove more glasses that were clean and had cooled. I stood out of the way of the sink because I thought SURELY he would wash his hands now. He didn't, and removed 10 glasses at a time from the machine! First thing I learned in housekeeping, travel with your own cup from home!

That inside pool scenario was so true. My adult daughter and I went to a resort out of season for a few days, when she was visiting. I finally found the indoor pool, which was nearly underground and was decorated as if it was part of an underground grotto with rock walls and ferns etc. It was quite dark, full of fumes, echoing and I was all alone. It was surrounded by lounge chairs. The water was really warm and I was floating when I looked up a saw a man just standing on the other side of the giant glass wall at the entry, just staring in. Not coming in. Just staring. I was starting to freak out, and then thankfully my daughter turned up, at which point he left, thank God. We had a great time for 10 minutes and then a family with 6 kids arrived and that was the end of that. 6 kids in an echo chamber was sheer torture.
