This was over 20 years ago, but I still think it's crazy.

I was an AGM at an extended stay hotel. We often had groups stay with us for 6-8 weeks while training for their new jobs. One Friday I had been out of town helping at another property and was on the road to my property when my Nokia started ringing non stop. When I answered, my FD person was freaking out - the police were there, when was i going to arrive, there was a dead goose in someone's room. When everything had been sussed out, this is what happened.

Part of this training group had gone out drinking Thursday night. In the middle of the night, when the NA was there (the sweetest, kindest man you could ever meet), a guy came up and said he locked himself out of his room and needed another key. NA asked his name, guy gave it, it was a name that could be for a male or female. NA has seen this person around the hotel for a month and had no reason to think he was lying about his name. After he had the key, the guy wrung the neck of a goose that was hanging out around the property, used the key to enter a room of co workers, and left it on the table in the common area as a practical joke. When the two women in that room came out in the morning and found that goose, all hell broke loose. It was awful.

The guy who killed the good got dragged out in handcuffs. My NA had already left for the day and I had to call him back to the property. The contact for this client wanted him fired, but I pointed out that their employee bargained on my staff member recognizing him and not questioning the name because the NA was just too nice to insist on an ID when the guest said he'd been locked out. My poor NA was so upset over the entire thing, sobbing in my office. There was no way I was going to fire him. We didn't lose that contract and the other members of that training group felt terrible.
