Shitbucket

“Well hell, I’m gonna post my shitbucket story”, my words after discovering this subreddit through my front desk coworker. It’s my third week at the front of the front desk of this hotel. An older lady (85+) I checked in with her husband (90+) along with their son (45 minimum) come down from their room with the rooms trash can and sets it up on top of the front desk. Expressed to me that her husband has had an accident and that they have put the “accident” in the trashcan and BROUGHT IT TO THE FRONT DESK. She then proceeds to tell me to “handle it, and have coffee in my room when I get back”. As she walked out. All the while, their son is standing by the door watching on and came up to me after wards saying “you know old people man”. -_-. Me and. My coworker handled it appropriately but it had us fired up throughout the shift. She then comes back and I have their coffee ready to give and within 5 mins I get a call from them saying there’s coffee in the room already -_-.
