“How May we Hate You”, is a special Tumblr site dedicated to sharing the real-life stories of the life of a concierge.
Created by Anna Drezen and Todd Dakotah Briscoe, the site offers some rather amusing tales and quotes from tourists and visitors of New York’s busiest hotels.
Some of them are pretty cringy! Here are some of our favourite lines:
GUEST: Do you guys have forks? You know, like, eating utensils? (mimes eating with a fork)
CONCIERGE: Yes, sir, I’m familiar with forks.
GUEST: My wife has terrible diarrhea. Can I store my bags with you?
CONCIERGE: The bellman can store them for you.
GUEST: Okay, thank you!
CONCIERGE: Did you need any, uh, other assistance?
GUEST: Oh no, very nice hotel. We have a wonderful trip!
GUEST: How much is a ticket for Lion King?
CONCIERGE: $140.
GUEST: I HAVE NO TIME FOR THEATER.
GUEST: Ehh, Kings of Leon?
CONCIERGE: I’m not sure that they’re performing here anytime soon, let me take a look.
GUEST: (as I’m typing) Ehh, what?
CONCIERGE: I’m sorry, they aren’t in town for a while.
GUEST: No? But you have ehh sign!
(he points to a poster for “The Lion King”)
GUEST: Kings of Leon!!!!!
