A drunk guy coming in at 4am, with a girl hardly being able to keep her head still. They needed a bed for only a few hours... The intention was obvious but I had to ask why only for a few hours. Explanation: We're just not that tired.

Imagine a beautiful Brazilian girl.
At 1pm this amazing girl, go down at reception in her pj and really nervous say that the last night she forgot her " tiger" dress in the bathroom after coming back from the party. I forced myself not to laughs and asked the cleaning lady if she saw something. Our employee said that she only found one earring. The girl touches his ears and start screaming. It´s mine!!!
After a few hours the dress was found under her mattress.
I couldn´t resist the temptation and put on the Info board that day: We are looking for a Tiger dress lost somewhere in the city!!!!

You know the riddle about the priest, the cannibal, and the children who have to cross the river? The boat can only carry two passengers and the cannibal can't be left with the kids ...etc. I experienced something like that when a massive school group booked out the whole hostel for 3 days: male and female pupils couldn't be on the same floor, at least one teacher had to be on each of the floors occupied by pupils, but each teacher had to have a private room.
My final plan read like a mathematical equation, not to mention the mass relocation of beds so that dorms could become private rooms and vice versa! And when the group finally rolled in they insisted on changing everything.
Eventually I just gave them all the room keys and told them that they could sleep where ever they wanted to, they booked the whole hostel anyway...any other solution would have involved hospitalization.

The guy who tried to bribe me to throw another guest out so he could have a bed for the night.
The sums of money this guy was willing to part with, over and above the normal bed rate, were astounding.

I had a guest once, who had Kleptomania, he was stealing stuff, but only when he was drunk! He spent 3 nights in the hostel, on the first night he stole a jacket from a club, but the police caught him. second night he tried to stole, and bring in the hostel a standing advertisement from the street,he couldnt bring that in because it was too big, he tried it for about 10 minute, but then i started to yell at him so he took it back, and on the last night... It was late night and pitch black in the hostel, I dont know why, I've decided to go around in the hostel, and I found him, standing in the hallway, with bleeding hand and he was holding a wreath. He said it was hard to get, but it was worth.
It was one of the weirdest!

A few days ago I ready this story. I don't know whether it's true but it's worth reading it :p
A married couple is travelling by car from Victoria to Prince George .
Being seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.
When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00.
The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the 'standard rate'. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.
The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre that were available for us to use.
"But we didn't use them," the husband said.
"Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.
"But we didn't go to any of those shows," the husband said.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, "But we didn't use it!"
The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed topay. As he didn't have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check.
She did and gave it to the Manager.
The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But ma'am, this is made out for only $50.00."
"That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

The above joke isn't even funny to me because I've dealt with old stupid people like that before. I had an 82 year old woman yell at me for a half hour because our rates had tripled since she last stayed 15 years ago. I just wanted to scream, "It's called inflation lady you should be used to it by now!"

I just saw this strange hotel request on Reddit -- three red M&Ms and a picture of bacon:

The request is funny, but the fact that the hotel did it so nicely is hilarious!
