I just hung up from a follow up call with a guy who clearly sounded 20-30 years younger than me. He lives inland and wants to come to the beach for a weekend with his friends to celebrate his birthday. I didn't ask which birthday, but needed to find out a bit more before I waived my three night minimum for a very "un-busy" weekend in May.
He was real up front that there would only be 6 sleeping there (yeah right "Joey I know you're toasted, but you've got to drive back to Corona because we might get caught with too many people here") because he knew there was a limit. He was also real up front that they'd be partying in downtown Oceanside - which is fine, after all, I understand, I was young once.
I listened, preparing in my head to tell him, "no our 3 day minimum is strict" when he said "hey this is a condo isn't it? I'm a little concerned about someone making noise when they come back to the place." Whew, a young adult with brains. Why make hassle for yourself? I quickly referred him to someone who rents in an area where the neighbors might enjoy a little party on a Saturday night and where he won't be hassled unless his friends don't have any brains! Hope he has a great birthday party and that he'll come back to stay with us when he's having a chill long weekend.
Ah, a considerate kid who thinks of others before thinking for himself! They are quite a rarity, but at least there are some decent young people out there who actually follow the rules and act selflessly even in the most ordinary of days.
