Weirdest Things Hotel Workers Have Seen On The Job

When you spend the night at a hotel, you expect everything to be perfect; after all, you’ve paid the big bucks for it. Luckily, the hard work of dedicated hotel staff usually ensures that it is, from the concierge to the cleaning staff. And in return for their hard work — as well as parting with your hard-earned cash, of course — they expect you to be the perfect guest.

This means being courteous, not totally trashing your room, not making absurd requests from the concierge late at night, and not causing a scene in the hotel lobby.

But not everyone understands that. These hotel workers have shared stories of guests who were far from perfect — in fact, they sound like total nightmares. Here’s how NOT to behave in a hotel.

“We had a guest we nicknamed ‘Pie Guy’ who would come into the hotel without a reservation, pay in cash, plus the $100 cash deposit. The next day we’d find his bathroom and bathtub full of the remains of several expensive pies.”

“He never came to the desk for his deposit. We added his name to our ‘do not rent’ list but he returned using different names. Once, we found a torn-up list in his room with the words ‘pie’ and ‘pants’ scribbled all over it.”
