Answer:
small story
Explanation:
Hello All,
hope you are well.
having hosted for over the last three years (almost) i can testify that we have had some super awesome people and some not quite so.... so, in the hope of bringing more joy to this community I ask that you please share your best/worse stories. My hope is for the funny ones.
I will start it off- I had this lady come to stay at our apartment and as lovely as she was, she had no common sense. Having just changed the locks (new home) we made sure to choose one which is super easy and automatically locks upon closing it.
Here is when it gets funny... she called me to say that she is locked in and me being me thought... great, she was not given a set of keys or forgot them and meant locked out. Nope... she was locked in, inside the house by the main door. And despite trying to use the house keys in her hands (she sent me photos showing me that she had keys- which would work as well FYI) she tried for 30 mins and then needed help to come out.
So having been used to the lock I went about explaining to her how to unlock it- there is a lever on the door handle, whilst holding onto this you pull it downwards (towards the floor), keeping it in that position- you then pull the door towards you, as in into the flat. This would unlock the door- and is the easiest way of doing so.
This lady (who speaks perfect English) then goes on to put her hand on the door handle and waits for it to open... and Then proceeds to send a photo of this as to show it does not work. Despite not moving towards producing an action to follow.
I think she thought it was electric but surely if there was some technology embedded in the door handle the design would be more advanced and have some sort of electrical source? Realistically the host would have also mentioned this upon check in?! Just my rational.
All in all, it took 30 mins and may I just add this was whilst I was getting ready for a business Meeting for work.
Since this incident (jan 19) we have had 5 others like this and now are made to show all guests how to open the front door- we have a saying in my family that ignorance is contagious and this is a small proof for it being so.
Hope this made you smile and have a great day!
