The Las Vegas Courtesan

Last night was frustrating and busy at the same time. With the marathon going, road closures people freaked out and half of the casinos were completely impassable. That left all of the calls to off Strip locations or anything on the East side of the Strip. I stayed busy pretty late and did well but thrown in the middle had to have been one of the worst prank calls someone has played on the service.

I went to the Hampton Inn for a service and was informed that it was one older guy  (I don’t know why they even bother with saying  “older” when most of the time the guy ends up being 25) and should be a pretty good call. I drive over there avoiding any closures I could, she gives me the room number and says she just got off the phone with him so he’s definitely in the room. I go upstairs and as I get off the elevator I see two younger guys walking down a hall in the opposite direction carrying something. I don’t think of it since she said the customer was older. I go to knock on the door and… I knock some more. No answer! I saw someone peek around the corner but still thought nothing of it. I call the service and tell her the situation and as she calls the customers cell phone, the door flies open and there stands a woman who is in her third trimester who woke out of a deep sleep. She invites me in since I know the name of her husband who is waking in the bed. After I say to the phone girl “this is a damn prank”, the wife informs me they are there with a bunch of military guys and picks up her phone to call exactly the guy who prank called in the first place (I guess they do dumb stuff constantly). I hear giggling at the end of the hallway and confirm to the phone girl that indeed this is a terrible prank that just got pulled on a husband and very pregnant wife.  I felt kinda bad for her but she actually felt worse for wasting my time! She walked me downstairs and said, “I swear I will kill those guys for messing with you”. How sweet ☺

Don’t get me wrong, people prank call a lot to their friends but usually once the guys start giggling and hanging up its pretty obvious… or they call the room and the guy they are pulling the prank on is irate that someone keeps calling them saying a girl is coming up to see them.  I can’t believe how rude someone could be, though, to pull one on a pregnant woman!
