Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I worked the evening shift at the font desk of a hotel, as well as being a bellman. Our hotel had a VIP level on the top floor, and it was my job to stock the complementary bar. We had land people for oil companies stay up there frequently, usually the same group every week so I got to know them well.
One of the group members was a woman who was really nice, but odd. One night, I get a call from her:
Me: Front desk, how can I help you?
Her: There's bubbles in my toilet.
Me: Uh... Maybe the city flushed the lines or something, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. If it's still a problem in the morning, let the front desk know and they'll send maintenance to take a look.
Her: No, there's something wrong. I'm coming down to show you.
Me: Ma'am, that's not necess... Click
5 minutes later the elevator opens and she walks up with a champagne flute full of crystal clear toilet water.
Me: ...
Her: Well there were bubbles in it a minute ago!
There was also the time housekeeping found crack and a pipe in the presidential suite. Luckily we avoided an employee drug test, because the cops said there's no way a guest would leave like an 8th of crack behind
The elevator was also haunted. It would just randomly go to the ground floor and open without anyone having been in it for an hour plus.
It was a fun job as a high school senior. One of my coworkers had a buddy who would fill up a quart ziplock of mid for $40, and a coworker who enjoyed contributing to the delinquency of minors who would sneak me long Island ice teas when she was off and hanging out at the bar
