I've got two but they go together.
Con 1:
15-16 years old. Dad has connections with Marriott. Negotiated for us to stay in the presidential suite with just a couple of close friends. Rules are simple- no noise, no parties, and because we are 15 year old girls, no boys in the room. My mom will be checking on us once a day, but she trusts me. Its supposed to be chill. I come back in the evening and not only has my "friend" invited her boyfriend, who was not invited, into the room- they are making out on one of the king sized beds. My mom walked in with me. Guess who got yelled at? I tried to kick that boy out six or seven times over the course of the weekend and told him he was not invited, and he absolutely could not stay the night. He kept inviting his own friends over as well. His girlfriend refused to kick him out and I ended up getting bitched at for it, and nearly lost my hotel benefits.
Con 2:
Ten years later, hotel issues with same friend. Negotiate for presidential suite at the Ritz. This time its a gift directly from the hotel manager, who is a family friend. I write him a long thank you letter and instruct everyone to bring a small gift- like a box of cookies or maple syrup or a jar of honey or some shit. Same friend doesn't bring a gift. Complains about having to sign the card. Has free access all day to the concierge lounge but is afraid to go alone and cries/goes hungry when no one has time to go with her. Forgets to reserve tickets to a movie premiere, then gets mad that we go without her. Tries to wear flip flops and cargo pants to a 5 star restaurant. Texts her (new) boyfriend the whole weekend even though this is a girls trip. Gets lost in the convention center bathroom because she walked out without us, screams at us for abandoning her (we were all still in the bathroom and never left), and cries herself to sleep that night when I call her out.
We are not friends anymore.
