Mysteries of the guest psyche

It always baffles me how many people ask if they can have early check-in to "drop off their bags" or "to make the most of the weekend" or whatever... like it's impossible to do anything at the destination until suitcases are stowed in the rental?  Why does this matter to people?  If you had cold groceries okay, I get it, but your clothes are not going to be hurt by sitting for another couple of hours.  My rentals are in places where odds of your car getting broken into are slim to none (unless it's by bears).  

What am I missing?  Why is going on a hike or out to eat or whatever so much less pleasurable if your suitcases are still in the trunk?

I think it's a matter of "we don't get out much" @Julie McCoy you've traveled, have passive income, and look at the world through a completely different set of eyeballs than the average Joe. It's a burden I also must carry. And I sure don't mind ;) 

To your point... My favorite is when they point out something that is in the listing 50 different places and then they message you the second they get there to tell you about this thing that they've already read about 50 times AND they talk to you like you've never been to or seen your property in real life.
