A friend of mine has this ashtray with the writing "Stolen from motel XXX" on the bottom.

A likely story :DL

It's twue, it's twue, it's twue! :03:

The opposite to pinching but I once met an old female friend at a security conference...we met up after the day had finished and ended up leaving the hotel to look for some Indian cusine.

Afterwards we visited a bar too many and at chucking out time we returned to the bar in the hotel.

At God knows what time we ended up in my room because she reckoned she couldn't make it to her room which admittedly was much further away albeit on the same floor (very large hotel).

Being a gentleman I let her have my bed (even though it was kingsize) and I slept on the settee (honest).

Early in the morning she woke me to say she was going to her room for a shower and would I join her for breakfast.

This day was the final day of the conference so even though you were at the conference centre till 4pm you had to be checked out of your room for 11am.

Just prior to lunch I collected my gear from the room and checked it in for storage with the porter section.

When I returned from the conference area to collect my luggage I was quietly ushered into an office behind reception and asked to sit down by someone who was obviously of management level.

All manner of things were going through my mind, especially those around the subject of theft...I was pretty close to flashing my warrant card when the manager closed the office door behind me, sat slowly down and proceeded to reach inside one of his desk drawers.

After what seemed like an eternity he coughed and removed his hand from within said drawer and then I saw what he was holding....a pink pair of lacey thongs.

"Did sir know he had left these in his bed last night"? :oops:

I've never seen my female friend since which is probably just as well because I told the manager to keep/dispose of them.

I sometimes wonder if she ever realised she was one undergarment short :DL

Can't say that I ever stole anything from a hotel room. I may have left some hangers even.

Frankly, I never found anything I wanted to steal. :nope:

Oh i'll bet she knew. They didn't remove themselves. It was the modern equivalent to the dropped hanky.

None of them consider it stealing. America is the land of entitlements; so everything already belonged to those people before they checked into the room.

Nope, never have.

:DL Everything except the bill i'll bet!

So am I the only thieving barsteward here then, or just the (now) honest one? :hmmm:

It seems you are both, Tony :O:

During my career as a pilot i have spent countless nights in hotel rooms.

Between 2005,06,07 and 08 alone i spent approximately 1,010 nights in hotels. everything from off brands to Hiltons

I have found lipstick all over the glassware.

I have found feces on towels.

I have found grimy body outlines on the sheets.

I have found bedbugs on and in the mattress.

I have had stabbing victims wander into the hotel lobby while checking in.

I have had a crew member removed from duty because of bullets fired through his hotel window at night.

I have found a 10 inch long turd in a hotel hall way.

I have had people mistakenly given keys to my room late at night more times than i can count.

I have had to eat more hungry man turkey and mashed potato dinners all alone for thanksgiving in some low rent hotel room than i care to think about.




as a result, i cant think of ANYTHING i could possibly want from a hotel room bad enough to steal it.

Well, at least Berbunch is honest.

I'm too much of a square to steal things from hotels, little bottles of shower products included, and that ain't the half of it. When I leave a hotel room, I empty the trash, fold and sort the used linens and towels, and leave a tip for the maids with a nice "thank you" note. It just feels wrong to do anything less.

Wow, me either. Heck even bronzing it wouldn't be enough... :D

fixed :doh:



edit:

very clever BTW

Just funnin ya Brother! :O:

oh i liked it... it was good.

:smug:

That tells a lot about the quality of the places you stayed in :O:.

Remind me never to stay in the same hotel as GR. :D

Mind you, he's probably saying that about me, too. :shifty:

So when you recommend the hotel in Kuwait ... because of their towels,:O:
