wow. Never had an employee do that. That would suck explaining although if you had a mulberry scented odour spray you could have just soaked the backpack to mask the scent.
Thanks for the momento
Hostel Stories
Had an Australian guy walk through the door last night and ask if we had vacancies - I sent him up to look at a double room (actually a 5 bed - 3 singles and a double - but they could have it for the double rate). He said it was just him and his wife. He went and looked, and then came back and said it was no good as his wife would want an en-suite (which we don't have). Fair enough I said, no problems - and advised him where he might find suitable accommodation in the area. As he left he asked if his wife (who was still in the car) could use the bathroom - of course, I said (there's no public toilets round here).
So he went outside, and a minute later I heard a car being driven off at high speed. So he'd just left, no problem, maybe his wife's toiletry needs weren't urgent.
This morning I was doing the cleaning, and I went out to put the bin bag in the outside bin (on a lawn on the other side of the car park) and as I do it I notice there's a bit of paper on the ground, so I go to pick it up and what should I find underneath it? Only a pile of poo! Basically someone had unburdened themselves on the grass behind the bin, wiped their backside, put the paper on it and the just left it there for some other poor sod to clean up. i.e. me.
Now I may be jumping to conclusions here, but I think the first and last paragraphs are related - we're in a rural location here, not may people walking by who would possibly do that. And we were very quiet last night, I can't imagine one of the people who were staying here just popping outside for a poop on the ground. I'm assuming she'd got caught short as he was looking at the room, and done a number on the ground.
I just wish she'd had the decency to clean it up a bit rather than leave me to do it.

walked stright into reception squatted in a corner and did a wee and then walked off.
While staying at the hostel (before I worked there) a girl got up out of her bed squatted in the middle of the room and did a (rather long and loud) wee before climbing back into bed. She then woke up and interregated everyone in the room on why she and her bed was wet. No one had the heart to tell her she did a wee infront of everyone apprently in her sleep. So instead we dubbed her wee girl and soon the whole hostel knew...

I arrived at work one day to find my very unimpressed housekeeper glaring down at her morning coffee. She had just cleaned a log of poo out of the recycle bin on the rooftop terrace only minutes after arriving at work. No one should have to handle a stool sample before their cup o’ joe!
On another occasion my brand new receptionist greeted me at the door after her very first solo night shift to inform me that she had no intention of picking up poo from the shower with her hands again. The guilty guest bought her a box of chocolate later that day to apologize. Very appropriate, I think.

The guest actually owned up to it?!

My receptionist watched him go into and come out of the bathroom. She pointed him out to me, and I had a "friendly chat" with him. Of course he was too drunk to remember the night, so he couldn't deny any of it. The guy was a repeat guest and the LAST person I ever would have expected to drop a deuce in the shower. He was mortified and accepted full responsibility.

We have had a couple of 'poo-related incidents' :)
One time we were walking downstairs to change a keg for our bar, when we came across a poo-splattered floor...from the dorm dorr to the toilet. Thinking that we were about to walk in on someone who just couldnt wait, we were surprised to find the bathroom empty. The trouble for the perpetrator was that he had managed to get some on his socks...and as he walked back to the dorm he was leaving footprints all the way back to his beds. We followed the trail and handed him a mop; he just dropped his head and silently went off to clean it. It was possibly the worst smell I have ever come across.
When I was working nightshift I had a guest come and suggest that I should check out the bathroom. Thinking thatg someone had thrown up in there, I asked my colleague to wait at the desk while I checked it out. What I walked in on...I cant really describe. It was something I would never have expected. There was someone's bowl movements 6 feet up one of the walls!

Was just cleaning the kitchen the other morning, and a car pulled into the carpark. A woman got out, squatted beside the car and peed on the the ground, got back in a drove off. Maybe I'm over sensitive, but it seems an unusual thing to do in someone's carpark in broad daylight? She would have been welcome to use the toilet inside if she's come in - that happens all the time, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Not over-sensitive. It is pretty strange to choose a parking lot in the daytime instead of asking the business. :)

I'm looking forward to fatherhood. It'll be a lot less messy. I did have to kick a guy out once as he came back pissed off his tits and took a leak in a dorm mate's bed. This would have been bad enough without someone being alseep in it at the time.
