Sitting at RagingPartners job and waiting for him to get off, it’s 11pm here in Nashville. His hotel is currently sold out. Normally this is a good thing for me, because he tends to send a bunch of people my way, and I get a few extra guests that are there to look for me. Today, it doesn’t much matter because I’m off work, but it helps out when I am at work.
I can only hope that he doesn’t send this group to me when I go back to work tomorrow.
It’s pure and utter Hell here at the RP’s hotel tonight. There are teenagers and their chaperon’s everywhere, and the teenagers outnumber the adults at least 30 to 1. This is a group of kids from some Nazarene Churches down in Georgia.
They are loud. They are obnoxious. They are loud.
They are teenagers, and I really hope that I don’t have to deal with them on a level any deeper than I already have, and just having to hear them was a deep enough level for me.
Everyone knows that I hate having to deal with teenagers and their younger counterparts in general, but these are even worse. These have a superiority complex to them having to do with their faith. I’m sorry if this offends my Christian readers, but it’s true. These kids think going to church and constant prayer gives them leave to act however the fuck they want to act.
There are people complaining here about how loud these brats are, and I don’t blame the other tenants one bit for complaining. Some of them have to work very early in the morning, truck drivers and airline pilots and the like, and they are being awakened and kept up until all hours of the night by a bunch of wailing kids.
They don’t know how to clean up after themselves either. They filled this lobby with pizza and chips, sodas and water, and after they’re done, they’re just leaving the shit for the adults and hotel staff to clean up.
This is why I don’t work in a hotel. At least not yet. And when I do, I just don’t know how much of this shit I’m going to be able to put up with before I contemplate strangulation.
I certainly hope that RP has a better attitude with these brats than I’m having right now. I also hope that he doesn’t have the audacity to send them to my job tomorrow night. They’re going to be here until Sunday, so it’s a very real chance that after one of their prayer circles or whatever they end up coming to the RagingComplex for food and game. I may even take the notebook, so I can sneak to the break room and make a post.
On the notebook thing, I’ve talked about taking it to work before, and some of you had some words to say about my using it. Yes, I have had time to get online and search for things, but it’s not often. I usually don’t have time to even pull it out of my backpack. There’s also times that I bring it with me, and I’ll go to the breakroom just to get on here and check out my hits/visits and approve comments. I’m in the bowling alley tomorrow night, so there’s a very real chance that I’ll have time to post from work.
I just hope I’m not posting about these fucking teenagers….

Yes, they were loud - but luckily not too rowdy… at least not yet :) I’ll try to not send them your way. I’m leaving the pool open so they can swim and not disturb the other guests.

“These kids think going to church and constant prayer gives them leave to act however the fuck they want to act.”
I think this sums up a lot of adult Christians, too. My inlaws are very religious. I’ve heard worse things come out of their mouths than any whore or drug dealer. One comment that left me gobsmacked was, “The worst thing we as a country ever did was educate the Indians.” The same dinner conversation also included the fact that his parents, in their early 60’s had bought a nice fifth wheel and he was pissed because “they’re spending my inheritance.”
God must shake His head.

I too find that the Christian teens in my area have a huge sense of entitlement. I really don’t know where this comes from as I know many Christian parents and they don’t have the same attitude. I’m sure that they would be horrified to see how some of their kids behave in public when unchaperoned. What’s even scarier is that one day these teens will be raising their own kids.

One possibility: they are all acting like PKs, Preacher’s Kids, and getting all the high expectations of their parents and pastors out of their little systems while they are under-supervised and can get away with it. I would take some photos, find out what church they are from, and narc on them. While most of the parents you deal with might not give a hoot what their kids are up to, Nazarenes are pretty darned conservative and it might do some good. At least it might get more chaperones for the next field trip.
And on the off-chance that you don’t like to be a tattle-tale, remember, you’d be doing any child a favor to help that child get rid of his sense of entitlement.

I very much dislike delivering to those folks. Seriously, they are annoying, grab the box out of your hand, and run off. I have to practically beat the door down to get an adults attention and payment. Oh, and they never tip. Anything dealing with teens or kids. Never tip. Period. Or churches….occasionally a pamphlet…but I’m out earning my rent and such…my soul is my own problem, I don’t need my customer worrying about it.
I think my favorite thing is when the non-tipping pamphlet givers try scamming us into a free pizza.
