I own a party hostel in Veracruz, Mexico. 35% of our guests are from the USA. One night this Rastafarian arrives at 1am (the buses stop at 11pm) smelling like he hasn't showered in a month and in a Vietnam war jacket. He books in just for the night but sits on his Ipad from 1am-6am. I finish night shift at 6am and morning comes on at 7am.
When I check the CCTV the next day, he had stolen a load of laundry, 3 cans of tinned food in the staff cupboard and when the morning shift guy came on he was behind the reception desk where we keep the small change and said he was 'looking for the hostel Ipad'. JESUS.
Another guest from the USA booked 8 days and was obviously wierd. He insisted on paying 1 day at a time his entire stay and we caught his stealing laundry too (at that time the powder was kept next to the machines). When we confronted him about it he said 'I didn't know what the honour system meant'.
