Episode Three- Crazy shouty man

I'm sorry that these aren't exactly chronological.

On the day that we went to leave, my dad ended up queuing for ages to check out. I mean like ten minutes, when there was only one man in front of him. It was a guy who had arrived earlier that day, and he wasn't English, and neither was the receptionist, but they were talking in it.

Crazy Man: Your lift doesn't work. It will not fo down any further thn this level, the button doesn't work.
Receptionist: I know, that lift only goes up. If you want to go to the lower level you need to use one of the lifts over there.
Crazy Man: Well I called for help and no one came.
Receptionist: Theres a phone (Holding up a phone to demonstrate.)
Crazy Man: I know what a phone is and it isn't there!
Receptionist: I think you'll find it is.
Crazy Man: But I don't have a sea view. I have a view of rocks.
Receptionist: Okay, well your card didn't specify a sea view.
Crazy Man: I told my office to book a sea view and I paid for a sea view!
Receptionist: Then phone your office and I will confirm that that is what you asked for.
Crazy Man: Office? There is no office, I booked it myself online!
Receptionist: Well, you said...
Crazy Man: And my toilet leaks.
Recpetionist: Oh dear...
Crazy Man: Is it normal that the television doesn't work?
Receptionist: What do you think?
Crazy Man: I pay 2000 Euros for this? It's crazy, I want a different room.
Receptionist: There are no other rooms currently available. It's only 10 am and Check-In is 2pm. If you want to wait, we can move you.
Crazy Man: I don't want to wait, move me immediately.
Recepionist: I can't, we're full.
Crazy Man: WHY? (Yes, how dare you fill all the rooms in your hotel, I thought)
Receptionist: Well that is the aim of our business here.
Crazy Man; Give me my money back, I will go somewhere else.
Recpetionist: I can't, I'm just the receptionist.
Crazy Man: Then get me the Manager!
At this point, flamenco man came running up the stairs and we had to leave, but it was hilarious watching this moustached old man screaming and escalating. I mean, if you wanted your money back, wouldn't that be the first thing you would say, no 'your lift only goes up'? Sorry, things like this amuse me...
