Thank goodness for the walk-thru

1

The home was empty on Saturday, but when I started my walk-thru on Sunday it was clear the cleaners had not been there. Oops, they lost the reservation, call in emergency back-up cleaners.

So, walk-thru number two: cleaning job looks good, linens all clean and in place, remotes all accounted for and near TVs , lights all work, clocks all set, amenities all lined up on trays in bathrooms…wait, what is this? There, neatly arranged between the shampoo and sunscreen was a barely used bottle of personal lubrication.:flushed:

Perhaps I should just add some viagra and rename it “the Love Shack”. Wouldn’t be the only one in this senior community…

Do you check the bedside drawers? After finding a very life like “pink” thing with straps in one, they are now checked religiously!
And… no one let me know they had forgotten it…

Well, I provide condoms but I don’t think I’d leave that particular “leftover” there either!

Erm, and how do we know it is “barely used”? :rofl:

I do check all the drawer religiously. Once I found a full drawer of new, with tags, bras and panties. They did not claim it.

I check drawers and under the mattress between the box springs. I read about a host finding a gun stuffed under the mattress once.

I have never found anything exciting :frowning:

The most exciting thing I’ve found is candy wrappers in the bedroom, sticky with (I hope) chocolate. In Florida. Just begging for bugs.

Really? What’s going on over there? Are you in The Villages? :rofl:

Humor aside, we read stories from hosts all the time about how the cleaners didn’t show up or didn’t do their job. It’s refreshing to read about a host that understands that 100% of listing preparation cannot be left to a simple cleaning crew AND has a backup plan for when the cleaning crew doesn’t show up.

Naw, just making my small one-person statement that birth control should be readily available and free.

I am, so if I did supply condoms it would not be for birth control.:laughing:

I read about the astounding STD rate in the Villages!! Don’t know whether to be appalled or impressed.

Or skeptical. It’s not true. Some doctor exaggerated to point out it’s still possible to get STDs at this age, and it turned into an urban legend.

Friend who worked as a nurse in her doctor husband’s office said all these old ladies would complain about the development of Viagra. Their husbands, who had mercifully left them alone in that regard for years, suddenly had ongoing boners and were bothering them for sex all the time.

Yes, I did some googling and retract my statement.

The counter-stories included one from the Villages News itself

It helpfully pointed out that, regarding the past arrests of some Villagers for, 1) engaging in sexual intercourse in a pavilion and 2) a sexual escapade on a utility box, “neither story had anything to do with STDs.”

No it wouldn’t considering its reputation as a hotbed of stds!

On that one with you, posts the woman who got pregnant the first time she had sex…

Oh this is priceless!!!

BTW, @dpfromva , I’m just down the road a ways in Apollo Beach, a hotbed of swinging, drinking, and debauchery that would make Caligula proud. Or so I’ve heard. Passage Key (what a name!) is packed on weekends with naked people who should (mostly) be clothed. A lot.

Usual stuff the cleaners missed… Dirty tissues, underpants, kid’s toys. Found an ipad once! Not claimed. Handed to local Police
