Hotel Employees Are Exposing The Guest Behaviors That Make Them Want To Scream, And I'm Honestly Embarrassed For Humanity "You'd be shocked at the number of female guests who think a flash is as good as cash.
Sorry, ladies, but a glimpse of your knockers isn't going to help this bellhop knock out the rent next month."Travel is never easy. But especially if you're one of the hardworking hotel employees who are trained to make every guest's stay feel perfect.,"Hotel workers of Reddit, what is something guests do that gets under your skin the most?" Here's what they said:"I was a hotel room cleaner: when guests put used, tied condoms in the toilet, under pillows, under the bed, on the tea and coffee tray, basically anywhere. And not flushing the toilet. It's disgusting." "What got to me the most was the number of times I was used as an example by parents when their kids were misbehaving. For example, if I were cleaning the windows and a child was being noisy nearby, a parent might say, 'If you aren't good and don't listen, you'll end up cleaning windows for your whole life like this man.' Completely dehumanizing, demoralizing, and just a bit of a dirtbag thing to do anyway. Happened so many times I lost count.""When they try and do sneaky things. Like, poking holes in the bottom of the cans in the minibar. We caught a few of these, but only after other guests noticed, so we had no idea which guest did it." "Working front desk right now, I have no luggage carts because people bring them in their rooms and keep them overnight. Some people keep them for their whole stay over multiple days.""I hate when guests treat every minor inconvenience like it's the ONE thing that ruined their vacation. I read the feedback we get every single day, and people give us horrible reviews because of things like 'I had to wait a few minutes for the elevator' and 'the noise level in the lobby was a bit high.' I don't get how people are so sensitive to the tiniest things! Like, if you are that way at home, I feel bad for your spouse or whoever you live with because it's horrible to be around such unnecessary negativity." "Hotel building maintenance here. Honestly, most people are okay, if a bit weird, but I can't stand the unnecessary damage of drinks and hyperactive children. We literally had a guy last week piss all over his bed before sleeping in it because he decided it was a hilarious idea when he was drunk. The next morning, he demanded the bed be clean for him when he got back . His boss had a good laugh at it when we called to explain we're charging the company for the cleaning fee.""I worked in hotel maintenance. If you accidentally break something in the room, be honest and let the front desk know. There's a 99% chance you won't be charged for damage. It also gives maintenance a heads up to fix it at our earliest opportunity, and not have to rush to fix it when the next guest finds the damage because the housekeeper didn't report it either. Where I worked, if a guest reported the damage, they wouldn't be charged for it. If they just leave and don't tell anyone, they'd be charged a damage fee, usually about $100. Yes, we can do that; it's on the paperwork you sign when you check in." "Valet here. When guests flat out EXPLODE on me at the front drive when I politely tell them they have to go one level down to get their vehicle, as opposed to picking up out front. They are told this when they arrive. I didn't build the hotel, I didn't place the office downstairs, I didn't place the key safe there, you know this! CHILL OUT!!!""I work at a 4000-room hotel, and guests always assume I know who they are. The casino loyalty program members are the worst offenders. 'Oh, I stay here all the time'...'But that other clerk knows me,'...'I never had to show my ID before.' Well, I've been working here for 13 years, I check in over 50 reservations a day, I don't remember my guests from 10 minutes ago, and I need surveillance to see me check your ID so I can continue working here." "Former housekeeper here. People would spit their chewing tobacco into soda cans and leave them in the room. I would grab them and think they were full of old soda, dump them in the sink, and promptly gag at the horrendous smell. I have a long-standing hatred of people who chew now. Y'all nasty.""Guests who complain about the size of the rooms and how everything is so basic. You literally booked the cheapest hotel room in the whole city. That's what you get." "You'd be shocked at the number of female guests who think a flash is as good as cash. Sorry, ladies, but a glimpse of your knockers isn't going to help this bellhop knock out the rent next month.""I work at a hotel in a small, beachside Florida town. Our town has very little parking, and we advise our guests of this, especially during peak times, that we will have to restrict parking to only one vehicle per guest. I do understand that it's not always the best, but people who've been coming here forever know that in high season, there is no place to park, so they begrudgingly will find a way to carpool. But not everyone does. Oftentimes, many locals will rent a room and then invite everyone to come over, and of course, everyone has to bring their own car. Not happening, because if you bring more than one vehicle, you are taking someone else's spot. So, of course, it's the stupid sense of entitlement that gets me that people from out of state can drive here in one vehicle, and yet you can't carpool from 50 miles away?" "Honestly, it's when the locals boast about knowing the owner. You already got a big discount. Stop asking for everything free that you think you deserve.""As a housekeeper currently on her way to work, I think I need to vent a bit. Please answer the door. I know people don't want to deal with us, and you want us to clean while you're not there. I prefer it too, but don't yell at me through the door. If you answer the door, I just say, 'Hi, do you want housekeeping now? If not, what time are you leaving?' The door between makes it much harder for me." "Don't leave your Do Not Disturb on for the entire day if you want service. Housekeeping is only on 8–4:30, so don't take your sign off at 4 p.m. and get mad when we can't clean your room. We put cards under each door that clearly state that if you don't remove the sign by 3 p.m., you can only get towels from the front desk, not cleaning." "Not showing up for your reservation on a busy, sold-out night and not letting us know you're not making it. I get a lot of walk-ins and phone calls asking if a room is available, but I normally can't sell them a room that's already booked/reserved. Some people are just looking for a place to sleep for the night.""Housekeeper here. I hate when people just come up to my cart and take what they want. Towels, shampoo, etc. Just ask???" And finally,"Hotel pianist here, I hate being photographed or filmed, but I keep a cool head by telling myself that at least I know they like my playing. Some tourists, however... The whole group came to my piano mid-performance and positioned themselves one by one behind me while a designated photographer took pictures of them. I mean, come on, at least ask if it's okay, give a tip. I'm not a rare attraction that needs to be documented; that stuff is distracting."So, to all the hotel workers out there: Which guest behaviors annoy you the most? Tell us in the comments.
