Grab your welder's glasses because this petty revenge is so brilliant, it may cause retinal damage

Have you ever been jonesing for a coffee so much that you lash out against hotel staff, risking your reputation, well-being, and your livelihood? Yeah, me neither. While coffee beans are delicious and revitalizing, they can also turn hotel guests into bitter Betty's, keen on taking their frustrations out on the staff.

In front of his family too!

Let this person's story be a cautionary tale for any traveler . Do you use your hotel's safe while traveling? For a lot of people, they don't think they have anything valuable enough to store inside it, so they just don't use it. Other people use them every time in order to protect their wallets, keys, jewelry, and other valuables. This person was startled to learn that a hotel maid may have been trying to steal from them. In fact, it seems like the maid stole their money right in front of them…

It ain't easy

Serving customers is never an easy job. However, meeting the demands of tourists can be 10 times more challenging. Sometimes, in the rush of things, we forget that the ordinary folks who serve us—whether at the restaurant, hotel, or valet—don't work for us; instead, they are just regular people who are trying to make it through their shift with as little trouble as possible. The story that follows is an account of a frustrated hotel employee. The Original Poster (OP) works for a four-star hotel…

This is a job for the Treasury Secretary of the United States

There are few things less mildly infuriating when traveling than ending up with accommodation where the wifi doesn't work. For one thing, if you're traveling internationally you're going to be on one of various cellular data roaming plans, which are usually overly expensive for the limited amount of data they offer, leaving you dependent on reliable wifi to take care of data-intensive tasks—and for your daily TikTok doomscrolling session. With this in mind, it's wild how many top-tier hotels (a…

Sometimes something very very annoying has to happen to you so you can get rewarded with something very very awesome. For instance, when a huge multi-billion company finagles hundreds of extra dollars out of your hardworking hands, but then due to them being entitled and impolite, you end up getting thousands of dollars in return. It's called karma and it tastes so so sweet. Take for instance, this commenter on a Reddit post about a guy trying to get a Priceline refund. The post was about a guy…

It's hard work

When booking a hotel room, one typically has the expectation of privacy—that's actually kind of the whole point. You're paying a premium for the accommodating service and so that you have your “own” room for the duration of your stay—rather than booking a hostel or an Airbnb in someone else's home, where you'd get to hear a German tourist strum their acoustic guitar until early hours of the morning.

Another one for the evil boss files

Hotels are supposed to be an escape to a great night's sleep…but not for this family. Whether you're on vacation or traveling for business , having a good night's sleep is crucial. You're used to your cozy bed at home, so it can be disorienting to be in a foreign place. Luckily, many hotels offer soft beds and cold rooms to get the best night's sleep possible. That allows you to wake up in the morning and be prepared for whatever the day throws at your, whether that's riding waterslides or givi…

Maybe leaving their job was for the best. From the way this maintenance worker describes their work environment, it seems like they were way better off elsewhere. We all grow and change in life, we can't help it. Things you once needed turn into things you've outgrown. That happens in careers, too. U/ProjectShadow316 shares that they realized they needed to move on from their job after about two years. It seems like a lot of people hit their limits around that time. Perhaps that's the time fram…

We recently came across a story of a frustrated son having to deal with the consequences of a supposedly irresponsible mother. ( Read here! ) The mother came to visit the son for the holidays and stayed at a local hotel. A few weeks later, the son gets a package with a vase and a note from his mom saying “call me.” Turns out his mom had stolen a fancy vase from the hotel and the hotel sent her a bill for $1,200 for it and now the mother wanted him to return it. A mortified son, but dutiful none…

You would think the hotel would have clearer policies. These guests were on a vacation down in Miami when two strangers came into their room after being granted room key access by the front desk agent. Luckily, the guests were alright, but they did call the police to file a formal complaint about what happened. The interaction between the officers and the front desk agent was captured via video by one of the guests. In the video, you can see that the front desk agent accidentally reveals that h…
