AIBU to assume a Mumsnetter just left our holiday accommodation?

Second full day of our Centre Parcs holiday, just pulled back the bedroom curtains and noticed a tube of lubricating gel tucked in next to the frame.

I'm assuming this is a secret MN message and if so hello! I won't be partaking of any bum sex this time but thanks for thinking of me.

This led me to wonder, what's the weirdest thing you've found when arriving at a hotel, rental etc?

Why would this be a mumsnet message?
Eliza9917 I wondered this too.
A welcome pack of a beaker, a freshly laundered towel and a bowl of pom bears on the other hand...

Nothing weird 😞 but did find someone's business debit card wedged down the side of a patio chair in a posh hotel in the Lake District. Kept it Handed it into reception.

What's wrong with a clean reusable sanitary pad?

AveABanana · 29/08/2018 14:34

7 days worth of disposable contact lenses thrown around and behind the kitchen bin - obviously by someone too short sighted to see the bin without them in. And who knows what the cleaner was thinking in leaving them there.

Lots of random socks under the beds and sofas. Once I found two I kept going and left a stack on the kitchen table when we left.

Eliza9917 · 29/08/2018 14:34

@circleofwillis Maybe there was a fish slice on the coffee table.

MaisyPops · 29/08/2018 14:35

OliviaBenson
It's still someone's used sanpro which shouldn't have been in their desk (because they didn't bother to clear their crap out when they left).

Paddley · 29/08/2018 14:36

A full suitcase, a handbag and several bags of shopping under the bed in a caravan. We hadn't used that particular room, only discovered these items as we were leaving.

ShatnersWig · 29/08/2018 14:38

B&B in Buxton many years ago. Bottom drawer of chest of drawers contained the most enormous dildo. I mean, enormous. As thick as your wrist and about the length of a ruler.

As a 21-year old bloke, it wasn't really much use either.

Cindersdonegood · 29/08/2018 14:41

There was the one guy who shat the bed and left. Just paid his bill and left before I had been up to his room. He didn't even pull the covers off or anything. Just left it. There was shit in the en suite too. What's worse is we had provided Flash wipes in the bathrooms ever since we'd had Germaphobe guests (Everything was covered in layers of toilet roll and they went through up to 4 rolls a day so they wouldn't have to touch anything yet the room was sparkling as it was completely renovated and they were the 1st people to ever stay there!)

There was underwear in the kettle once. That was odd.

Few people flush toilets. Even less clean loo mess.

3 fellas who filled the whole house with weed smoke when I had a newborn living there. Their room was so thick with smoke you could barely see. I had to ask them to leave. They wouldn't. My dad came over and asked them. They left.

Chinese Curry tipped down the back of a bed.

Dirty nappies not even in nappy bags. Just left, stinking the room out.

The thing is, ours was a very naice B&B in the Scottish Countryside. Rather swanky for the price if I say so myself. Some of the guests acted like it was some rundown dingy backstreet hostel!

UrsulaPandress · 29/08/2018 14:43

A pair of underpants at the bottom of the bed (inside the covers) in a Farmhouse B & B in Ireland. The bed clearly had not been changed since the previous occupants.

Friday night bum sex at Centre Parcs is a MN joke.

ARoomSomewhere · 29/08/2018 14:46

Center Parcs = Bum Sex in the land of MN... Wink

fanomoninon · 29/08/2018 14:50

A shit on the bathroom mat (hotel in Cornwall). Didn't suggest their cleaning standards were up to much...

eyycarumba · 29/08/2018 14:50

@UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername this wasn't a bloody travelodge was it?

Shampaincharly · 29/08/2018 14:51

Hotel room in very rural France ; Flies (100s )
Toilet seat had a paper label on it saying this toilet has been cleaned. Lift the lid , Turd Tour Eiffel looking up at you !

HMC2000 · 29/08/2018 14:55

Eliza9917 there was a thread a while back about a poster who had gone to Centre Parcs, and whose DH had been behaving oddly /excitedly. It turned out that he'd somehow got the idea that Centre Parcs was a euphemism for anal sex, and that he was going to get some while he was away. He didn't, but the connect between bumsex and Centre Parcs lives on on MN.

MrsBlaidd · 29/08/2018 14:58

I know women who will use hotel kettles as a make shift way of cleaning their underwear if they haven't got a spare clean pair.

This is why I NEVER use the kettle in a hotel room.

eyycarumba · 29/08/2018 15:00

Ex is in construction, working away digs are usually rough as arseholes. He once found a rabbit vibrator in a bed, also once climbed into bed on to a nice puddle of piss.

coughingbean · 29/08/2018 15:03

I think the bumsex/centreparks thread may be in classics.

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 29/08/2018 15:03

Very first holiday with DH when we were mere 20-odd year olds to a naice hotel in London.

Got given a key to a room which hadn’t been cleaned where there was what looked like period blood all over the duvet and an empty box of happy eggs in the bin.

Eliza9917 · 29/08/2018 15:07

Ok thank you, that vaguely rings a bell now, I think I might have read that thread.

WhirlingTurkey · 29/08/2018 15:15

Used condom on the headboard of the bed. Shock
This was in a posh London hotel. We reported it and got moved to a much nicer room, with a city view, though. But yeah, gross!

MissConductUS · 29/08/2018 15:19

The oddest thing I've ever found in my hotel room was a man in his underwear. The front desk somehow checked us both into the same room.

THEsonofaBITCH · 29/08/2018 15:33

4-Seasons, DD(aged 4) found a dvd under the luggage rack and asked if we could watch it (she assumed all dvd's were Barbie stories) was (from packaging) a group gay orgy themed dvd. Asked front desk to take it off our hands (got changed to a junior suite).

SawnUpLooRoll · 29/08/2018 15:35

Okay, strap in, ladies...

I want went to a holiday let in the Cotswolds where the owners had 'decorated' the house with garden gnomes. All kinds of crazy gnomes meant for outdoors, just popped on shelves and in corners, and all facing the chairs and beds so that wherever you were trying to relax, the gnomes were looking at you.

We turned them all around and decided to try to garden, which turned out to have a shrine made of broken mirrors and glass at the end in a sort of glade, complete with what looked like a tiny sacrificial table.

And the owners told us to watch out for the wild boar, because they sometimes break into the garden.

I hate the Cotswolds.

Cutietips · 29/08/2018 15:38

MrsBlaidd you know people who actually admit that they wash their knickers in a hotel kettle? That’s just so disgusting.

And people who don’t flush the toilet? Isn’t it gross for them to use a dirty loo when they go to use it again? How lazy are they, that they can’t be bothered to flush a turd?

Although when I had a lodger, I had to tell him to use the loo brush on his skid marks. I was mortified. Him less so. Grin
