To take the body lotion and soap from a £250 a night hotel? They have asked for it back!!!

[mum2sons]

DH and I spent our wedding anniversary in a v expensive boutique hotel. I took the body lotion and soap home as I usually would do (sad, but I get v excited about these things!)Yesterday we received a letter from the hotel asking for us to send the 2 items back for the future enjoyment of guests!!! Talk about humiliation! Looking forward to MNetters views

Fuck a duck.

I remember reading this original thread as I didn’t live far from the hotel at the time.

I was 27.

Now I am 42.

And I am spiralling into some sort of crisis about the fact that I’ve wasted 15 years of my life and life reading stuff that doesn’t matter on the internet.

15 years of my life and more, I mean.

They used to do a lovely afternoon tea there though not been since before lockdown!

I’d not seen this old thread before so didn’t realize I was reading a Zombie for a while. It just occurred to me - if you a desperate to take home the posh toiletries and they are the big size you could just decant into a take home bottle - they can’t prove you didn’t just wash yourself crazy during your stay!

Omg empty it and put in a cheap one pls

I’m sorry but what on earth would make you think you could just take full sized products away with you in the first place ? It’s not the done thing.

Reading this feels like 2007 was a different life time. I miss it!

I would totally have pinched that mad dog picture if I'd stayed there. They wouldn't be getting that back no matter how nicely rhey wrote to me. 😇

If they were travel sized fair enough but if they’re full sized then you’re a CF…. unbelievable!

Just ebayed them, around £5-15 for a full set, of different ones. Seem basically a home bargains cheap brands. (Although I could be wrong.)

This is so funny! I definitely expect the daily mail or mirror to run a story from this thread 🤣

I would be tempted to say , sorry we had a but if a wild night and they where both used

back in 2007

😂embarrassingly I can remember this thread from the first time round!

Looks like the goods were bolted to the wall….so no, you shouldn’t have taken them.

It's possible that things might have changed since this thread was posted 15 years ago...

Omg I read your comment thinking “yeh, that’s bad”. Then it dawned on me that I was also 27, therefore also now 42.

Shit.

On Radio Lancashire this evening they were discussing this very issue - what is acceptable and expected to be taken from a hotel and what isn't.

Excellent work 👍

Surely this thread should be moved to classics? 😂

Glad to say I haven’t been here long enough to remember the original thread.

The decor is quite vile.

I think this is different. That’s poor form OP

Looks like the goods were bolted to the wall….so no, you shouldn’t have taken them

Probably hit the bolted containers after 15 years of toiletry loses 🤔

Lovely hotel OP! And looking at the pictures of the rooms on their website, it looks pretty clear that the bottles are refillable, in wall mounted holders, and that they are not intended to be replaced for every guest!

YWBU to think they were for taking and i can't understand why you would think otherwise. Everyone knows that you only take the miniatures!
