Editor's note: This article was originally published on December 1, 2022. It has since been updated. Hotel receptionists often encounter challenging clients, and a key part of their job is diffusing situations and solving problems. However, some clients are impossible to please, no matter how hard you try. One receptionist shared a story on Reddit about a particularly insistent client who claimed to have a reservation for a room on the nonexistent fourth floor of their hotel. Despite explaining multiple times that the hotel only had three floors, the woman demanded to be taken to the fourth floor. In the end, the receptionist, in a moment of frustration, took the woman and her luggage to the roof. The post was shared on Reddit.
