DO yOu REaAaLLy neEd My LiCenSE PlAtE NuMBer?!

I just need to have a quick rant - Not a specific tale, but the accumulation of many.

Why, WHY, for the love of GOD is it so hard for guests to WRITE DOWN THEIR LICENSE PLATE NUMBER?! 80% of guests act like I'm asking them for the moon. I /highlight/ the information that needs to be filled out on our forms (in addition to POINTING and VERBALLY INSTRUCTING THEM), and they'll still either pretend they didn't see it, ask if we REALLY need it (followed by a deep sigh and head shake when I say we do), write down only the state, or just simply say "I don't know my plate number" and slide the form back over like that settles that. (That's the one that pisses me off the most.)

Like... Oookay?? So go get it?? Why on God's green Earth would it be written on the form, with a blank spot for the information, and then HIGHLIGHTED if we didn't need that information??? Is this your first time at a hotel? I myself have never stayed at a hotel that didn't require this very standard, basic piece of information. It's the easiest thing in the world to snap a pic of on your phone and have handy while you're traveling. I'm truly losing my patience with this daily fight with people to provide the information that's asked of them when they check in. I just had someone get uppity with me, saying "really? How many other vehicles do you have parked here from Florida? 🙄" ....A fuck ton, sir? At any given time, just an absolute metric fuck ton?

Edit: Okay! I get it. You've stayed in 82 million places and never been asked. It may depend more heavily on location than I realized. The point is how combative and uncooperative people are about providing information that's easy to obtain.
