The bits always turn to vapour.

Why is it when something is broken, the shattered bits and pieces are NEVER sitting there with the thing?

For instance, one of our esteemed and lovely scu.... guests managed to tear the part of the door bolt off that is attached to the door. No doubt one of the many unescorted, unfed and unattended children running screaming through our facility thought they would re-enact Uncle Le-Von's last arrest by charging the door while it was "on the chain".

The bits of wood from the door? Gone. The 2oz metal casting that looks sort of like a dick? Gone. Even the torn out screws..... Gone. This isn't stuff the housekeepers can just Hoover up, it would shatter the spinny thing or clog the pipe and I'd know about that, because guess who they will bring the busted vacuum to? I know the guests don't want it, because they leave so very much else behind, all of which is VITALLY IMPORTANT when they call back screaming for it, six weeks later.

Guess it goes to the same place all those left socks go to.

  1. If the bits didn't take their exit via the waste bin, then they went discreetly down the loo. You can widen your talents with the rooter snake next week when the next guest reports the back-up. No worries man.
