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?

in an airport hotel after arriving after midnight and needing to leave at 6am a HUGE moth bigger than my hand on the wall which moved everytime I went near it.
Called reception and it took 4 people to look at it, shake their heads and say no way they were touching it before one got the nerve to capture it and put it out the window. Finally got to sleep about 2am that night....

Wips is out suitcase under there and then went to get it out as forgot to get something out of it and had to get on hands and knees to pull it out. It was the top strip of the foil so 1.5in by 1/4 inc and all shined in the light!

@misconductUS your comment made me wet myself laughing, actually peed my pants. (I am old and my pelvic floor is knackered) just off to boil the kettle Grin

On a two day job interview, I was put up in an apparently ‘very naice room’ in the local apparently ‘very naice hotel.
It was only in the morning of the second day, because the sunlight picked it up, I noticed that someone had scrawled ‘SEX’ in some sort of semi shiny fluid across the headboard of the bed I had been sleeping in.

Not read the whole thread but found a copy of the Kama sutra down the back of a radiator in a house I moved in to, the really old version the man had some wild beard on the front, is was in the early 90’s.

Oh God! I clicked on this. What sort of adverts will I get on all my Facebook etc. links now?!

Weekend job as a teenager cleaning in a hotel many years ago that had had a group of 18-30 holiday makers staying. Some rooms were empty of their furniture with others full of beds and couples too drunk to get up. A toilet with vomit on all four walls (how did they miss the toilet?) and as I went past the bar, the door opened and a man shuffled slowly out, giggling to himself and wearing a sign round his neck saying “I’m the biggest pisshead”. I guess he was the only one left standing.

Checked into B&B in Newquay many years ago. Went to transfer clothes from suitcase to chest of drawers and found a carrier bag ful of used tea bags (although on first glance it looked more like used nappies). Mentioned it to owner of B&B and was basically accused of planting them there, apparently we were trying to get a discount lol

I haven’t used the kettle in a hotel room for years after hearing about the knickers being boiled in there. Thank goodness for those pod type coffee machines they have now!

BettyBigBollocks · 30/08/2018 22:56

Hahaha I actually think you might be wearing my knickers PaperGirl Brilliant Grin

OMG this reminded me of a story not from a hotel but whilst we were waiting for our mortgage to close on our house I had already ordered a bed and sofa and they were going to come before we closed. So the builders let us get delivered to the house any way. So after we moved in the site manager told me he used to go in to my house and sleep on my sofa during the day 🙈

Anotherdayanotherdollar · 30/08/2018 23:17

betty and papergirl

I love a happy ending. Closure for the owner! Smile

Papergirl1968 · 30/08/2018 23:26

Sorry, Betty! Blush

Sparklyhousedust · 30/08/2018 23:41

Oh fuck, I am in a hotel and just drank a cup of tea I made in the room:(

I also found gay porno dvd collection in the apartment I was moving into. Friend was happy to have them.

Stayed in a cheap motel in Albuquerque many years ago. Was pretty basic and I remember the bathroom was a bit grim with a few random pubes. Felt like it needed a good clean.

Roll on a few years, watching Breaking Bad. Yep, the very same motel where the prostitutes and drug dealers hung out Shock

In a bush way in a hotel car park. A handbag full of make up and a pair of knickers and fallen out of the bag a bottle of perfume and a pack of hair grips.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 31/08/2018 05:59

My boss told me when he was in his first job and staying away somewhere, because he was in a hotel with a shared bathroom he would piss in the kettle Hmm

He told me this the second night of a business trip, that morning I'd made coffee in the room.

Will never do that again!

Seabreeze18 · 31/08/2018 06:32

Love this!

Monty27 · 31/08/2018 06:35

Funny fail OP. At least the rest is amusing.

Ouch44 · 31/08/2018 07:59

My DH found 290 Euros in the bedside drawer of the French holiday cottage we left last week. Gave it to the owner at changeover who seemed a very lovely lady and said the previous visitors were English. I really hope she does contact them and get it back to them.

290 Euros would have been great spending money for our second week in France!

Looking out of my B&B window onto the roof of the front door porch, we spotted a full face black balaclava. I'm not sure if it had been thrown down from our window or up from the street. It was rather unnerving though.

Pintof · 31/08/2018 09:20

My work booked out the whole of a hotel once for a conference. Lowly staff (like me) got put in standard rooms, managers in business rooms and the top-top bosses in the penthouses.

I got into my room and there was a turd in the toilet and fake tan streaks on my bed. I went to reception and went slightly bonkers.

One of the top-top bosses had just called and wasn't able to make it after all so I got bumped up to one of the penthouse suites Grin

Lucieaew · 31/08/2018 10:33

This was a week ago today, in one room. We found used cotton buds a message on a mirror describing someone as a c**t. And a dildo! Blush. Needless to say you couldn’t pay us to stop there again
