People Explain What They Do In A Hotel Room That They Never Do At Home

I love staying in hotels.

There is such a freedom to act in any foolish way you want.

We shouldn't. Just because we're in a hotel the rules of basic human decency still apply.

But we tend to ignore that fact.

No wonder hotel rooms are so expensive.

Redditor HarryHolmes68 wanted to hear some confessions about our behvior when not at home. They asked:

"What something you do in a hotel room you’d never do at home?"

As soon as I enter a hotel room, I put the air on basically 0. I have no electric bill there and I like it freezing.

"Inspect the sheets thoroughly."

"Last time I was in a hotel, I didn’t do this and by the time I got into bed at midnight I started freaking out because thought I felt bugs crawling on me."

"Turned on the light, inspected the sheets. Nope. Pubic hairs and crumbs. Too tired to find a new hotel, I went downstairs and asked for a clean set of sheets, remade the bed, and slept like crap. Was gonna shower but the bathroom made me feel like I’d end up dirtier. I still don’t like ya Indiana."

"Use that white hand towel as a bath mat."

"I make a trail of towels from the door to the shower if I'm anywhere near a beach. I don't like tracking sand everywhere. Also the carpet is filthy."

jeeremyclarkson

"Usually there’s a towel on the side of the tub or on a towel rack, specifically meant to be laid down as a shower rug. Even at the cheap hotels. I traveled for work, and wasn’t given much for hotels. So I had to stretch them Pennies."

Plan Ahead

"Eat pizza in bed naked while watching cable tv."

"TIPS: when traveling solo, always pick a room with two beds. That way you have an eating bed and a sleeping bed. It’s the closest we’ll get to royalty, folks."

"Your tip is also valid when traveling with a sexual partner. One bed for clean activities, one bed for dirty activities."

"God forbid there's a hockey tournament. The parents let their kids set up mini sticks and nets and play in the hallways. It's really nice when you're working nights. Hockey parents can go to hell."

"It's me, the loud stranger. Had someone open their door once and do the loudest 'shhhhh' whisper I've ever heard in my life."

"I don't typically steal my own soap."

SteveMcQueef81

"I have a travel kit that has like a dozen different soaps and mini shampoos in it from hotels over the past decade. I never actually use them because every time I go somewhere they have stuff there, which I also steal."

madogvelkor

"The cost of the soaps are included in your rate. So technically when you check out, you're paying for them."

"Use all the towels."

WinstonChurchillin

"Fresh towel for every thing. It's so wasteful but I figure they usually throw them all in the laundry anyway whether used or not after you stay."

TheBrocialWorker

"Also take super long showers because they don't run out of warm water (according to a friend who uses the actual shower in his hotel room as a sound machine)."

So luxurious...

"Eat in bed."

AllisonWunderlund

"Yup especially if I have 2 queen beds- one for eating, one for sleeping. So luxurious. Also, stack all the pillows around me like a fort for sleeping."

SpeckleLippedTrout

"Hubs and I have discovered the joy of the bed picnic while on holiday. We go to the grocery and get snacky type food like hummus, pretzels, dips, berries, carrot chips, cheese and whatever else looks good. Then we take the comforter off the bed, undress, and have a naked bed picnic, usually while watching a movie we've seen a few times. Soooo nice and unlike home, I don't care if I get berry juice or hummus on my sheets."

"I've put on Cartoon Network in a hotel room as background noise to fall asleep to, only to wake up at 5 am to Inuyasha as I go to take a leak."

Donations

"I used to stay at a downtown Four Seasons hotel 60-90 days per year, for work. Every day, like a ritual, I would collect the high end soaps, lotion, q-tips, sewing kit, and unused shampoo & conditioner. By the end of the stay, I would have a huge box of high end L’occitane toiletries, which I would donate to the local Women’s shelter."

"Jump on the bed. I am 40 years old and I launch myself onto every bed at every hotel room I stay at."

"When he walked into his first hotel room, I told my 3 year old 'the first rule of hotels is, you are allowed to jump on the bed.' One of the brightest smiles I've ever seen."

malicestar

"My mom told me the exact same thing once. 30 seconds later I broke the light hanging from the ceiling with my head. I was not allowed to jump on the beds anymore."
