I worked at a casino. Casinos are gross as hell. We once had to remove chairs off the gaming floor because a lady had gotten menstrual blood on them. I saw a dude make a mad dash towards the bathroom before stopping halfway, dropping his pants, and taking a huge poo poo. Casinos are the grossest places and exposed me to human depravity you wouldn't believe. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me: for the longest time we would constantly find the same type of blood spatter in the handicap stall in the men's room. It always started from the front of the toilet and went straight up the wall in a jagged line. I always figured it was someone shooting up incorrectly.

I work in a hotel. Once you take the nice clean sheets and pillowcases off the mattresses and blankets are stained with blood and piss and poo poo. There's no special process or procedure for dealing with body fluids, it's just wipe it with a rag and cleaning fluid until it isn't visible.

Hotels are the grossest thing in the world. You'd have more sanitary conditions sleeping under a bridge. People are loving animals,. They piss everywhere, everything is covered in pubes, and if you're lucky the condoms and tampons end up in the garbage. This is a pretty 'nice' hotel too. Never drink out of the cups that the hotel provides because they are not properly washed ever, and if they are disposable they hang out the bathroom until they are used, which can be days or even weeks.

As someone who travels a lot, sometimes you just have to ignore all that and tell yourself that it's probably slightly cleaner now at least than it would have been a few generations ago and on back, have a few drinks, and fall asleep on your almost certainly filthy bed.

My fiance has a service pit bull. Seriously a good breed to use-- calm, less likely to be scared and bitey than most breeds, and they have a ton of "let me walk with you all day" energy.

Also the duvets. They don't wash those ever and a lot of people get in shagged out and just need to sleep or gently caress on them. Sheets should be good but never trust a duvet. Throw it on the floor.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

A thing I heard, (so actual Hotel workers can confirm or deny), is that what one should do if one wants clean sheets is to smear either nutella, or tomato sauce on the sheets every morning. Because the one thing that will make housekeeping change the sheets is if they see stains that look like either blood or poo poo.

So if you see a sheet that looks clean, it probably isnt, so you should make it look like someone shat or bled on it, and then they will bring you a new clean one.

What was the pit bull doing?

Well at the time it was brutally murdering a small child but I figured the kid probably had it coming.

Really though, the dog was fine. It's just that service dogs are almost exclusively german shepherds and golden retrievers and are trained more or less from birth. The odds of a pit bull actually being a service dog are exceedingly slim and it was more the brazenness of the lie and the willingness to go to the mat over it that made the whole thing weird as gently caress.

I worked in a mid-range hotel for a while. House keeping washed all the sheets with bleach every two days unless they HAD to do it more often.
The sheets themselves were of poor-mid quality and no one gave a hot gently caress if some got ruined.
The disposal people didn't come by for a month and we had a massive pile of soiled linens in the basement.

After all, it's WAY cheaper to by more cheap sheets in bulk than deal with a single lawsuit.

Yeah we'll change your sheets but you'll get an extra service fee because you are making a huge nuisance of a mess on purpose if it's large enough for housekeeping to see it while tidying up your room, which just means pulling the covers up. There's a pretty good chance too that the person cleaning your room either won't see it or won't give a poo poo, particularly if you're a grown rear end adult who's rubbing food into their own bed.

Also, we can tell the difference between nutella and poo poo, primarily because nutella doesn't smell like poo poo, so we'll say to reception "the rear end in a top hat in 203 is rubbing food in the sheets, give him an extra cleaning charge." That's something housekeeping can absolutely do if you go out of your way to make a mess that's going to take time to clean up.

A while ago one single person in a four person room used all the pillows (8 in total) and the blankets (4) to make like a nest for himself. That's quite a bit of a extra work, which is offset when you have four people in there by there being a higher rate, but when it's just one person who ends up in that room cause all the singles are taken, and they do something like that, then we are absolutely allowed to add a cleaning service charge to the room. Same thing if you smoke or get water everywhere or something.

I don't know why you'd do that in first place, because the bed linens get changed when a new guest comes in, and if you stay longer than three days or so you get new sheets anyway. We don't leave dirty linens in a room at my hotel, and if you are staying at a hotel that did do that, they aren't going to care if you befoul your own sheets. There's no clean mattresses or clean duvets or anything in the back to replace them with. If you absolutely, 100% need to have new sheets each day for some reason, just ask at the front desk.

So, there's a lifehack I guess to make housekeeping's life a little bit more annoying? If you're going to do something nasty like this, at least tip. Housekeeping has no control over anything really, it's not our fault that the beds are old and gross.

My thoughts on that dirty hotel room video were: Most of this stuff you're pointing out...how often do you deal with it at home?

For example, how often do you move your bed at home away from the wall to vacuum behind it? Wash your comforter? I'm betting it's not even "every week" unless you're literally OCD. Some of the curly hairs...probably just means black people have stayed there, looks just like what I saw when I had black roomies in college. You're just grossed out because it's not your hair.

The sink not draining properly is a legit concern, that probably won't get fixed if nobody brings it up to staff. Maintenance isn't psychic. Also concerning is the plexiglass/sealed windows and lack of elevator (though the latter is probably worked around by having all the handicap accessible rooms on the ground floor). Stinky pillows: complain to the front desk, get new ones, problem solved.

It just felt so nit-picky for a "first episode" that even if later ones with actual filth had more legit reasons to be grossed out (bugs and such) that I wasn't interested in their hot takes on any other places. I'd have stayed in that hotel. Trying to help prevent bedbugs by encasing the mattresses before they're infested? :thumbsup: especially if they're not legally required by the city/county/state.

The official stance from the ASPCA is that there's no way to classify pit bulls as "genetically aggressive" because the vast majority of them are born of random breeding without efforts to breed specific behavioral traits, making it impossible to determine their temperament without looking at the individual dog and how it was raised. Just like humans, funny enough.

I really don't care for the looks of the mutated ones with tiny eyes and droopy muzzles. But around here, the reputation of the pit bull / rottweiler is forever tarnished by being owned by pathetically irresponsible bogans, who want to look "gangsta" and therefore go out of their way to make the dog vicious.

Use to have a guy who was a fairly high functioning very special dude at work. Travis loving loved metal and was a hard worker. Sadly he was terrified of making GBS threads and would hold it in for as long as possible before exploding over a work toilet like once a week. He would defile the toilet with high pressured stream of poop and blood. Took me months to figure out who was doing it. I thought it was a customer for the longest time.

How many hotels/motels have you actually stayed in?

The only time it might not happen, at least in my experience, is this: Some room have multiple beds but only one guest. If they didn't sleep in the bed you don't have to change the linens, only smooth out the duvet. However, for some reason, I don't know if they think they are being helpful or what, people will put the duvets and the pillows back in the EXACT way we fold/arrange them, which is a very specific and fussy way, mostly so we know if that bed has been touched or not. I usually spot this cause the sheets are wrinkled, no getting around that if a person sleeps there, but if it's a busy day it's possible this could get overlooked.
