'I look forward to seeing if she "reports" me': Hotel front desk worker searches hotel for mysterious food smell bugging just one visitor

We hear a lot about hotels being so noisy that guests can't sleep, but has a smell ever bothered you at a hotel? 

Some hotels have pools with the strongest chlorine smell ever, and it wafts into the hallway even outside the swimming area. Other hotels offer complimentary breakfasts, but there's no way the smell can waft from the main lobby to the rooms in most cases, since there's usually a big space in between the two areas. If anything, the complaint that most unhappy hotel guests have is noisy neighbors. But this woman stayed at the hotel where u/Catona works as a front desk employee, and she had a bone to pick with the strong scents she kept smelling. 

This woman had a pretty silly complaint, and it makes you wonder if she was just lonely and wanted someone to talk to. Maybe she doesn't have many people in her life to, so she has to make up the silliest excuses possible to get a little bit of attention. Or maybe she really was bothered by the smells, but come on, it's a hotel, people have to eat! 

After that, read about this family that is in a huge argument over an upcoming Thanksgiving meal, with one sibling revealing, "My mom thinks I'm putting turkey over my own family."
