Because that would be weird.
I laugh but I recall things like this!
Never met that guy. Met people who thought the weather sucked and then moved on.
Have met people who were upset the entire Con didn’t cater to their particular nitch interest.
Also seen though who had something unfortunate happen to them, and now think the entire Staff should drop everything to solve it. ie, ‘I lost my bag, why aren’t you organizing a room by room search of the hotel?’
Sadly I have seen this one come up…
Ever since I have been making snow jokes close to con…
reminds me of the story of a guy who called the transit authority asking them to move the deer crossing sign from his street so the deers would stop crossing in front of his house all the time
We’ve had people complain that the stairs in the con hotel had too steep a rise.
Also the guy showing up at ConOps Thursday morning at 10am and complaining there was “Nothing to do at this con!” (Note: Opening Ceremonies was 11am Friday. Thursday was Reg and a dance.)
But there hasn’t been any bitching about the weather. Other than ‘It’s hot in [late June/early July].” Yes, yes it is.
There is a story that a “guest” at Walt Disney World walked up to a “cast member” during a storm and said; “Listen, I’ve planned this vacation for months. Turn the rain off.” The cast member actually called the weather service and found out that the rain would end in about twenty minutes, he told the guest who waited for the rain to end and then thanked the cast member for turning it off.
