During our last hotel stay we were waiting for the elevator in the lobby. When it arrived, the door opened and there, all alone, was a luggage cart! Who does that? Can't be bothered to bring it all the way back... too lazy? too entitled? something else? I don't want to have to do it for you. SMH

Maybe it was bored of its life. Maybe it wanted to pretend it was on a ride at an park. A roller coaster. Heck maybe it just needed a quiet place to think for a bit. I mean would you like to have to carry luggage day in and day out for your entire life?

So, here's what happened. I was returning the luggage cart. I had just rolled it into the elevator, stepped in, and pressed the Lobby button when I heard DD yelling down the hallway that she had locked herself out of our hotel room in her towel! So I ran back to let her in the room, and when I came back, the elevator had left with the cart.

Then there is the conundrum of the room service trolley.
The little card delivered with the meal gives the number to call to have it removed and we do. Only to have no one turn up. So we call again, and tell them as it is now quite late, we will leave it outside the door. Where it remains as we exit at breakfast time. In a really good hotel. SMH.

Extremely lazy, I'd guess. Ridiculous!

Perhaps the cleaning staff put it there? Maybe they found one in the hall or in a room and failed to call the front desk telling them they are sending it back down?

Maybe it escaped from the luggage room and you caught it in the act?
Luggage carts don't have brains, they don't know if they are supposed to go up or down, or outside to escape. Duh!

Ok so my DS nad DH might have been saying there, they have this game where one of them puts something strange in an elevator and lets it go. They watch for reactions. Potted plants, coolers and luggage carts have all been victims!

My mother's assistant living had a house dog. She used to ride the elevators all the time by herself. One of the staff would push the button and send her along her way. That was kind of weird to encounter -- Hi Shanti, how was the ride?

Or maybe, there was someone with the cart. You just didn't possess the gift of sight to see the dead bellhop.

Or maybe it was put there by someone who experiences pain with every step and this was the best they could do .

Or they did call the front desk but the clerk got hung up taking care of a client at the front desk/phone and the elevator was called into service by another customer.

If the elevator is big enough, get in with it. If not, move it to the hall and continue on your way.

This was my pet peeve in our apartment building in NYC. We had a doorman and a concierge, and some people thought it was their job to drag it out of the elevator rather than returning it themselves.
Also, there were people who would wheel the laundry cart into their apartment and keep it there all week.

I've seen that done a few times before--people put it on the elevator empty, knowing that it will go back to the ground floor!

I even hate it when a cart disappears for an hour or two - on Saturdays, those things are at a premium, and one missing cart can really cause a problem. I've never sent an empty luggage rack down to the lobby by itself, but it doesn't seem so awful to me that someone would do that.

Well I worked for a hotel, and that doesn't bother me at the least. Lots of people use the carts and put back in the elevator empty. Someone will take it off or another customer will use it.

tbhis is a first for me.. I always bring it back to the lobby. Now I could see my kids doing this if I sent it back with them.
