While studying in college I was a cool job as a receptionist in one of the biggest hotels in my city (if not the biggest) so we had a lot of celebrities stay here when they were on tour or vacation. There were several nights where I was the only receptionist in the hotel, and on weekends there were no managers working, so the receptionist made all the calls as the "nights weekend manager" (actual name).
One night around 12:30AM a cleaning lady around 65 called me through the walkie talky stating there was a massive emergency and needed my call asap. I ran to the top floor and realized the "Emergency" was in our junior sweet room (we had a well-known European soccer celebrity staying there who was mad because our presidential room was booked and he arrived with no reservation and we didn't kick our VIP out of the hotel for him).
The emergency was that he had pissed all over the room drunk and was knocking at the presidential room offering to buy it from our most active guest (he booked it around 15 days a month on average) so I had to call the cops, ask security to escort him and help dress with guy, while paying a bribe to the cops so this stayed confidential.
I was called on Monday (had Sunday off) sure I was going to get fired or something, the soccer player was waiting with the owner of the hotel who flew in form a different country. He apologies and asked for my silence, agreed to pay all the damages and thanked me for keep this silent. He gave me a great "tip" which covered my first car ever and I got a raise at the hotel. Just to be fired 3 months later for "restructuration of the hotel"
