Eating food that has touched unsanitary surfaces is revolting for some people and, as far as gross environments go, motel bathrooms are arguably the most disgusting communal areas known to man. Motel bathrooms are basically a receptacle for all human excretions and it's not always cleaned (or nuked?) appropriately. However, for one non-discriminating foodie has combined the horrors of motel bathrooms with the culinary arts, building his entire social media platform on creating elaborate recipes…

While traveling, picking the proper hotel room for your visit doesn't seem like the most important detail… until it's time to rest and unwind on the first night of your stay. One fed-up hotel clerk shared their story to r/Talesfromthefrontdesk. As they recall, this husband made room reservations at this hotel, but he chose a busy weekend to stay. When choosing between two rooms, one large and one small, he hastily chose the small one. But later on, his wife was furious with the arrangement. The…

Going swimming at hotel pools is one of the best parts of vacation — and if you're a kid, it might even be the best part! Unfortunately, one mom and her kids found out the hard way that you can't just use all parts of the hotel any time you please. Pools usually aren't open 24/7 at most places. And as the OP shared in this post to r/TalesFromtheFrontDesk, at their hotel, people can only use the pool for an hour at a time, and it closes at 10 P.M. sharp, so that the OP can complete the rest of t…

Some customers just can't take no for an answer, and can't understand why they're being turned away in the first place, even when there's a perfectly good explanation. That's what happened to one hotel front desk person who was working the night shift and encountered an entitled self-proclaimed world traveller . As they worked the night shift , the OP recounts that this Ken called up and tried to make a reservation . When he encountered issues, he just truly couldn't wrap his mind around what w…

A free meal is a free meal

This person did not get the feedback they wanted!

Consider this a different kind of affair...

Doomed from the start, dude. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

On the latest episode of Airbnb Horror Story...

God forbid the guests realize the employees are human!

We are living in the golden age of comedy murder mysteries with an ensemble cast . Particularly the Knives Out cinematic universe and the HBO series, The White Lotus . It seems like everyone wants these movies and shows (respectively) to go on forever with an ever-rotating cast of characters, keeping Daniel Craig and Jennifer Coolidge employed forever. I definitely have some opinions about who I'd like to stay at a White Lotus location next. My list includes, but is not limited to, Patti Harris…

I smell nepotism!

This job application is nuts!

In contrast to the other interactions we see posted online by customer service persons, this one is pretty innocuous. It does a great job of providing insight into the sheer number of bizarre interactions you have — week in and week out — when you work in a public-facing role. Not all of them are Karens losing their marbles over the slightest inconvenience — but they will still leave you scratching your head and wondering what in gods name you have just witnessed. I used to sell bikes, and some…

A rude guest demands that the front desk agent of a hotel deny other potential paying customers a room so that he can check into the hotel early. People these days...

This hotel employee concocted the most elaborate revenge plot on an awful, entitled guest!
