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?

Just said to dp what’s so funny about a flash light box? He just enlightened me- there I was thinking I wasn’t a prude!Grin

Well.... sorry was away and just saw the thread but thought I had to contribute . I once found a used condom on the window sill of St John's hotel in Solihull. When reported, all I received from the Manager was a very weak apology. Needless to say I would NOT recommend that place to anyone ever

Lube is amazing for curly hair

Misses point of thread entirely.

Used sanitary pad under the bed in hotel. Not impressed was an understatement

What's wrong with a kiln?

Oh and I don't understand why anyone would boil their knickers in the kettle - why not wash them with soap and water in the handbasin?

Jammie we've just got back from Spain and there was the top bit of a condom foil wrapper under the bed. It was so tiny and pushed against the wall it probably got brushed there when sweeping. Hotel and room were otherwise spotless.

Not a hotel, but during a hospital visit yesterday I used a public toilet. On the sink was an open and half used tube of heamorrhoid cream 🤮 .
A cousin left her extra large strap on attachment in a hotel..... She was gutted 😂

Not a real horror but a used teabag in the teapot on the hostiity tray in the Hilton Bath.

DagenhamRoundhouse · 30/08/2018 19:09

Meant 'hostility' tray!

GlendaMedeiros · 30/08/2018 19:25

I once found a penis shaped attachment for a vibrator under the bed in a holiday let marketed as "luxury". Envy

WipsGlitter · 30/08/2018 19:30

@youarenotkiddingme how did you find it if it was so small? What were you doing under the bed??

Karen49 · 30/08/2018 19:48

Cindersdonegood, should have raised your prices- keep the riffraff out

obviouslyperfect · 30/08/2018 19:53

I found all sorts of things under the bed last time we were away. I found them because I had to pull the bed out when DS’s toy went under there.

Hair tie
Comb with teeth missing
Food wrapper
Small metal thing
Suitcase or similar wheel
A lot of dust

I think housekeeping just swept stuff under the bed!

Found an electric vibrator in a bedside drawer in a quaint little holiday rental in Monterey, California. Then in the next holiday rental in Capitola, California, we found a dirty thong! All in all the holiday rentals in the US have been pretty grimy.

AlpacaPicnic · 30/08/2018 20:22

I always flick through the Bible in a hotel room because of the urban myth that sometimes people leave money in them as a reward for the next person to read it. I've never found money but I once did find a 'signed' copy which I couldn't stop giggling over even though I knew it was very disrespectful!

mrsjackrussell · 30/08/2018 20:38

A BnB in Lincolnshire had all the drawers and wardrobe filled with what was probably the owners clothes. He slept in the living room. I reckon he'd overbooked. Wasn't really happy but really cheap, clean and only for one night

Ohyesiam · 30/08/2018 20:42

So..... what’s a flesh light?

Needsleepneedsleep · 30/08/2018 20:46

A rubber contraceptive cap in a drawer in a hotel in Bognor.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 30/08/2018 20:56

I’d also really like to know what a flesh light is (but really don’t want to google it...)

TyrionsNextWife · 30/08/2018 21:01

A flesh lights a mans version of a vibrator - it’s shaped like a vagina in a plastic case, and looks like a torch.

OutPinked · 30/08/2018 21:02

A flesh light is basically a latex vagina shaped thing for a man to do his thing in. It’s often in the shape of a torch hence the name. They’re really grim, I imagine many men don’t bother cleaning them afterwards put it that way... They’re actually really difficult to describe now I’ve attempted Grin.

Justabadwife · 30/08/2018 21:04

I had to Google flesh light.
It's a mens sex toy. Like a torch shape and where the light would be is a choice of latex rubber holes?? So you can have bum, mouth, cheeks or vag.

I booked a night at a naice B&B in the countryside for DH birthday. Owners had a cat, a very cute blue eyed Siamese (or similar). Checked in, room was fine and went for dinner. Came back to find the room was a bit smelly but as in countryside thought maybe farmer sileaging field. No. Turns out there was a massive pile of cat shit under the blanket on the bed which had been there for some time as it had gone dry PLUS it had wee'd and soaked through the duvet and sheet to the mattress! Owners mortified (but not before Mr B&B tried to imply it was our fault for leaving the door open - we hadn't) and refunded us but we left and went home at 10:30 at night.

bridgetreilly · 30/08/2018 21:11

No idea who found it, but I once left a drawer full of (clean!) knickers in a holiday cottage by mistake.
