When you're booking any accommodation, you're agreeing to its rules. Sounds basic, right? Believe it or not, some people still find this concept too difficult to understand. Or, even worse, they feel as if they're above everyone else and these rules don't apply to them. I'm talking stealing glassware as 'souvenirs,' leaving your underwear in the kettle, you know, the good stuff. Bored Panda has put together a list of some of the worst hotel and Airbnb guests, and it proves why we can't have nice things.

I'm Sure We've All Been There Dylan
Kudos to all hoteliers around the globe for surviving yet another day of dealing with these monsters. Writing for Hotel Management, Glenn Haussman said there are 4 types of guests people in the industry love to hate. Let's start with the Never Happy Complainer. "This person is pissed. But don’t worry, it’s not you. There is something seriously wrong with this individual’s life, and for some reason, it’s the hotel’s fault. You know the type: Something small goes wrong and no matter what you try to do, it’s never good enough."
A simple complaint "the water in the shower wasn’t hot enough" turns into a sad display where apologies are met with more anger. But they don't want a simple apology. They need more. Turns out, repeated apologies and asking how you can make the situation better are no good as well. "This person is hell-bent on poisoning your soul and making you feel as awful as they do."

So This Is How My Friend Left The Bed In Our Hotel Room
Then there are the Party People. "At full-service hotels and casino resorts in particular, I see these folks ready to party. But not the type of partying that makes you money at the bar. Nope, these folks orchestrate their own party by bringing in massively sized coolers jam-packed with more beer and other forms of booze than anyone can possibly drink. With no shame or respect for the hotel, they’ll mount a mission more complex than Normandy to bring in drinking supplies so they can save a few bucks and not buy your alcohol. And, of course, they leave the guestroom festooned with their remnants of cocktailing gone bad."

I Work 3rd Shift At A Hotel. For Ten Minutes, The Guy Argued He Was Staying In 227. We Don't Have A 227. He Was At The Wrong Hotel. Happy New Year

"Isn't this the Ritz?" "No, it's the Pitz." *laughs to self, then dies of shame*
What about the 20 People, 1 Room, No Problem? "Yes, they know the room has a single king-sized bed and a small chair in the corner. But that didn’t stop them from reserving a room for one or two people, and then stealthily sneaking in many, many more. It’s a giant pain as they overstuff the room and expect you not to notice; especially after they just asked you for a dozen extra pillows and blankets and a roll-away cot."

If it was MY hotel, I would simply purchase a new one, and charge their credit card. When they complained to the cc company, the company calls the merchant to see if the charge is legit. I would describe the situation and ask them if it was legit. I doubt they would argue the point. Hotel - 1 : Client - 0.

Correction: "My Family and Me" (Don't make a big deal - going out of your way - to sound oh so proper, and then get it wrong. It's WAY worse than someone saying, "Me and John went to the store.")
Let's not forget the I’ll Just Sit Here Person. Glenn said there are some who seem to be lost. Nobody knows if they're staying at the hotel or not. Nobody knows because they simply sit in the lobby for many, many hours. And they aren't working or anything. Just hanging out while waiting for something, or someone. However, nobody knows who that special someone or something is as everyone's shift is over before they move a muscle.

I've worked on both a 5 star resort and 4 star ( that looked like 3) airport hotel. I was doing front desk on both but very close to all the other departments and I can tell you: rich, poor, "educated", famous, business people, families, royalty, military, etc , they all had done some nasty stuff to their rooms. We had a military (marines) couple fighting and broke the whole room and walked bare footed, drunk and bleeding all over the fancy hotel floor causing a scene, runaway brides, missing husbands to be (police had to be called the guy drunk himself to a coma passed out on a roundabout and no one knew where he was as the roundabout structure hid him from the search cars, the dogs found him later on), the unapproved fireworks by the on-going wedding started a fire as pine trees are highly flammable, a drunk rich woman from a very high society family used to call reception and scream at us saying she was gonna call the FBI to arrest us for not filling up her mini bar, we had sleep walking naked VIPs running away from imaginary dogs (yes more than one), young couples on their first time leaving all the "balloons" half used everywhere, tampons left by the bedside table by highly educated fancy pants rich women, business men raping foreign teenage women, teenagers and young adults stabbing each other because they look at each other "funny", soooo many stories you'd be surprised how many things happen every single day in any sort of hotel.. We had to call police and security and ambulance services all the time, people that come to hotels got no clue how much stuff actually happens in hotels (I worked for huge world wide companies) and both the posh place and the really bad location one were the same although the posh expensive place was thought to be less likely to see these things it's not .

I have traveled around Asia the last couple of years and have been doing work exchange in a few hostels along the way. All I can say is that most of this stuff is an everyday occurrence. I have even experienced worse.. I have lost count of how many rooms I have cleaned that were covered in blood and vomit for example.. Then there was a couple that stayed with an infant in one place.. Their shower was covered in poop and the rest of the room was covered in sticky food (I think jam and some kind of sauce), not to mention the dirty diapers. It’s really like some people think that because someone else will come and clean it up afterwards, they can just act like rockstars and f**k up the room as much as they want and it’s fine. I feel like everyone would benefit from having to spend at least one day cleaning hotel rooms or hostel rooms. I think they would have a lot more respect for cleaning staff if they did. I sure as hell do.

I just stayed at a hotel last week for two nights and two and a half days. The housekeeper went in as I was getting into my car, and she came right back out the door with a huge smile on her face, waving the tip I'd left, and saying THANK YOU! loudly (for the suite being so easy to clean, it took her maybe 10 minutes, tops). I've been the hotel and motel housekeeper four different times, and it's a horrid, thankless job.

As one who has been a motel and hotel housekeeper four times in my decades of working, I'm super careful and mindful to leave my accommodations as clean and neat as I possibly can each day, if a longer stay, and to leave only an unmade bed when it's an overnight stay. I've long been in the habit of taking my own cleaning supplies with me for a certain 9-day event every year, and most of us who attend that event do the same. None of us wants to leave the hotels rooms looking like a church full of swine stayed there (in our faith, we strongly emphasize the importance of cleanliness, both of personal hygiene and home, and of taking care of the property of others). I'm really glad I no longer do that kind of work for a living, and have huge respect for those who do.

Wow. We use one trashcan so the other bags don't go to waste because they are not full unless the one we are using is full. We put all the used towels in the bathtub. I made a small stain on the bedsheet with my periods once and told the maid I had soaked that part and waiting for it to dry. We don't keep food inside so the smell doesn't stay either. How hard can it be to leave the place in good order?

I clean houses for a living & NOTHING surprises me! I’ve seen it all! And my husband wonders why I rip the bed apart to check to be sure it’s clean ( the end of bed shows it) & I NEVER step in the tubs without standing on a hand towel. Hotel cleaners don’t clean very well either. Then I write reviews about how good or bad the hotel’s actually are. And I am brutally honest. I even was offered a job @ a casinos’ hotel after one review in another state. People are rude & pigs & all the pics show damages that can easily be charged to a person’s credit card. Unless they paid cash ( and who does that?) We stayed in a room with what looked like bloodstains on the carpet @ 1 place. We asked for another room. They were full due to kids hockey tournament in town. Note to self: always ask if anything is going on in a town before booking a hotel. Never stayed @ that place again. We even checked to see if a murder had happened it was so bad! Wish I had pics now.

The contract of accommodation that is included in all hotels states that the guest is responsible for anything above normal wear and tear. When the guest signs the credit card slip they are also signing a contract that allows the hotel to charge for any additional expenses to restore the room(s) to the state is was when they were let.

I will never understand how some people think it is okay to behave in this fashion. I travel a lot, probably more than most people. (230 nights away in 2018) When weather permits, I often bring my German Shepherd, as she is often part of my work. I travel with a dog bag filled with her things. Among the normal things -- food and water dishes, blanket, etc. -- I bring cleaning supplies. I feed my dog on her personal mat, wash up the area and make sure that I brush surfaces of hair. I make sure trash is in the can and if it's nasty, it goes outside in the dumpster, or in an emergency, in the back of the car to be tossed elsewhere. When I stay for longer than a few days, I make friends with the housekeeper and make sure they know to tell me if there is a mess I've missed. I tip when I leave and pride myself on leaving the room as clean as possible. I do all of this not because of someone else, but because I have a measure of self-respect. I simply don't understand the other way of being.

I made a small stain on the bedsheet with my periods once and told the maid I had soaked that part and waiting for it to dry. We don't keep food inside so the smell doesn't stay either. How hard can it be to leave the place in good order?

These people figure that since its not thier house & they paid to stay there, that they can be disrespectful & trashy. They also don't respect the minimal wage workers there.

you know what, I might go against the flow, having worked at several corporate hotels... the guest might be dirty and ineducated, but well sometimes hotels are so dirty, they just deserve this treatment.... I know what I am talking about

Number 8 would be a dream come true for me. I mean, I’m a Magic the Gathering nerd, and have over 5000 cards, but that would quadruple my collection

I clean houses for a living & NOTHING surprises me! I’ve seen it all! And my husband wonders why I rip the bed apart to check to be sure it’s clean ( the end of bed shows it) & I NEVER step in the tubs without standing on a hand towel. Hotel cleaners don’t clean very well either. Then I write reviews about how good or bad the hotel’s actually are. And I am brutally honest. I even was offered a job @ a casinos’ hotel after one review in another state. People are rude & pigs & all the pics show damages that can easily be charged to a person’s credit card. Unless they paid cash ( and who does that?) We stayed in a room with what looked like bloodstains on the carpet @ 1 place. We asked for another room. They were full due to kids hockey tournament in town. Note to self: always ask if anything is going on in a town before booking a hotel. Never stayed @ that place again. We even checked to see if a murder had happened it was so bad! Wish I had pics now.

The contract of accommodation that is included in all hotels states that the guest is responsible for anything above normal wear and tear. When the guest signs the credit card slip they are also signing a contract that allows the hotel to charge for any additional expenses to restore the room(s) to the state is was when they were let.

I will never understand how some people think it is okay to behave in this fashion. I travel a lot, probably more than most people. (230 nights away in 2018) When weather permits, I often bring my German Shepherd, as she is often part of my work. I travel with a dog bag filled with her things. Among the normal things -- food and water dishes, blanket, etc. -- I bring cleaning supplies. I feed my dog on her personal mat, wash up the area and make sure that I brush surfaces of hair. I make sure trash is in the can and if it's nasty, it goes outside in the dumpster, or in an emergency, in the back of the car to be tossed elsewhere. When I stay for longer than a few days, I make friends with the housekeeper and make sure they know to tell me if there is a mess I've missed. I tip when I leave and pride myself on leaving the room as clean as possible. I do all of this not because of someone else, but because I have a measure of self-respect. I simply don't understand the other way of being.

I once worked in Holiday Rentals for high end apartments. The cleaner came to me one day and said that she could not keep washing the bed sheets with bleach everyday as they will start to perish. I asked her why she was doing that. Turns out the sheets had blood on them from nosebleed - the occupants were doing coke every day.

I worked as flight attendant and stayed in many hotels I saw how housekeeping staff clean the rooms and washrooms. They clean electric kettle and toilet with bleach.

Some, I don't know if it's done by hotel guests cause there are alot of a******s of housekeepers too or whatever, but yes, there are a bunch of f***s out there too that disregard property cause its not theirs to worry about. The trash isn't something they have to charge. They only charge if items are broken or stolen in room.

While I was in the military there was a bathroom in the building I worked in that would have poop smeared all over the walls repeatedly. They never figured out who did it, but they called him The Phantom Shitter.

Filthy people, filthy brains, all part of the dumbing down of America, no culture, manners, integrity, honesty, just trashy people.

Could we please track down and kill all these people? Or make them eat their trash? You all know that the poor housekeepers want it. And you want it.

Kill them? Let's not exaggerate. Kill their accounts with fines that would be donated to the staff that had to clean that up? Totally!

These photos are here, literally, for us to judge. Also, hard not to sit in judgement on people whose behaviour is so disgusting.
