What do you do in a hotel that you don't do at home?
 

I've been having to travel a lot for my job. The first thing I do when I get in the room is to turn the air on full blast as cold as it will go. I think I do it because I know I dont have to pay the electricity bill. Right now, I think it is about 27 below in my room but I dont mind. I love it. I might even have to pull the comforter off of the second bed to keep warm.

I think I am wierd, but I am sure there will be some other good answers.

I'm a lot less clean (tidy) as well but I think everyone is like that. I missed the trash can with a piece of paper earlier and didn't pick it up.

:D

Watch HBO. I don't get any premium channels. :(

I also turn on the AC full time, but I do that at home also. That's about it.

1) Sleep alone.
2) Play Medievel Total War for hours without getting nagged by the wife.
3) Eat in bed
4) Leave someone else to tidy up the room and bathroom.

It's fun for a while. I travel a lot so you do tend to get bored of hotel food after a while...


Mr Mephisto

Smoke in bed, then go out, Not sleep alone.

I sleep poorly. that is about it. Oh, and i get sick of TV and polyester bedding.

I use 300 times more ice when I stay at a hotel versus when I'm at home.

Check in....put down my bags...find the ice machine.

It's a sickness.

Damn, I had to turn the air off. It is so cold in here I think I can see my breath. I didn't want to have to log off of here and go to bed.

Put on the porn channels and turn the sound up REAL LOUD:D

In a hotel i don't worry about towels on the floor in the bathroom, don't worry about the AC going 24 hrs a day, and don't worry about being quiet while making love with my fiance:D

I have SEX in hotel rooms, I make love at home:D

i dont make my bet or clean up anything. leave the pizza box there.

I make sure all of my valuable stuff is with me at all times. That is the first thing I do at a hotel that I don't do at home.

fuck cheap hookers.

Don't clean up and occasionally jump on the bed when I'm bored. Thats right, jump on the bed! (Luckily I don't weigh that much so I don't break anything :) )

I act exactly the same in a hotel as if I were at home. I'm not a pig and I won't act like one just because I'm in a hotel.

Tip the maid if I make a real mess. I don't do that at home since I'm the maid there. :(

Take extra long, hot showers! And of course have the A/C below zero. I've spent way too much time in hotels this year, gets old after 2 nights.

AIR CON ON.

Feel guilty about stealing the soap,conditioner,shampoo.(Why does that stuff smell so good)?

Mess the beds.

Bubble bath overflow.

Room service hates me.(3 AM toasted sandwiches are fuckin great).

Clothes everywhere.

Maid loves me (Twice so far).

Hide the bible.

Mini bar goes to cupboard and re-stocked with real shit.

Write a letter of praise to staff thanking them for such an excellent indulgence.(To cover my childish behaviour).

About the only thing was have sex as loudly as we could...other then that...that's about it.

:eek: Have SEX in one bed and sleep in the other.. Oh and the towels on the floor thing tooo

When I travel for business:
AC full blast
Play Diablo 2: LOD for hours on end
IRC/TFP until very late in the evening
Oodles and scads of bad food-all night
TV on all night
Use all the pillows on the bed.

The first thing I do when I get to a hotel is rip off that top cover, which is all stiff and made of polyester, and I throw it on the ground.

The maids never wash the top cover and I always think of it as being caked in DNA (jizz) or other nasty bodily fluids.

Ewww.. :p

I do the exact same thing! I never touch the top cover - it's nasty!

Well when the wife is around we make a lot more noise during sex. That's about it. Oh and I don't sleep as well since it isn't my bed

pee in the sink

1) watch porn weith my wife
2) jump up and down on the bed just for the hell of it
3) go out to waffle house at 4AM just because we can.

wipe my ass with the towels.

just kidding.:D

really, i'm just kidding........

I clean up. I don't like leaving a mess when I'm not home. I find it disrespectful actually..

Jacuzzi!

a/c on, long showers, and i leave the towels on the sink with a tip for the maid. i'm not used to having someone serve me, guess i was born poor, and will stay that way.

room service

I either go naked or use the big fluffy white robes they provide... Too many windows at home to do this...
Also room service, TV in bed, wake up calls and cocktails in the lounge.

I watch a lot of tv. I don't watch it much otherwise, but when I'm staying in a hotel I watch tv like I was 12 again.

I'll have to remember to take off the top cover and jump on the bed next time. :)

Last time I was in a hotel was for V-Day three years ago with the girlfriend at the time. She had to leave a day early for a family emergancy so I spent the last night alone. I spent the whole day in the hotel lounge drinking with other lonely buisness men and most of the night naked watching Cartoon Network.

Same shit that I do at home.

I used to work in the housekeeping department in a Marriott (my glory days of high school summer jobs) where we ALWAYS washed the top cover.

Make a big mess

Honestly the first time something on TFP has made me laugh audibly for almost a minute. Just the randomness, I guess. Phew. Thanks.

Don't worry about making messes and then clean up about an hour before I leave....no need to clean up messes asap

LOL!
thats hilarious because i´ve seen it happen.

once again, funny cos its true.
theres just a dirtier, raunchier atmosphere in a cheap hotel when you´ve got it on the boil.

what else...
i guess i really love to eat room service in bed, which just doesn´t happen at home.

i also have a pathetic habit of losing mobile phone chargers, and other small things in hotel rooms.

I fiddle with the AC/heat 'cause I can never seem to get it right.
I always ditch the hotel pillow & use my own.
Get rid of that nasty top cover.
Sleep terrible anyway.
Make about 15 trips to the ice machine.
Buy overpriced snacks from the vending machine and eat 'em in bed.
Put my wet towels in the bathtub (my ex mother-in-law was a hotel maid at Disneyland and she said this was preferred).
Hide the Bible 'till it's time to go.
Tip the Maid

put the air conditioner on full blast

watch premium channels (don't get them at home)

I also tend to be incredibly randy when I'm on vacation which works out nicely when I'm vacationing with the girlfriend. :)

Watch tv, use the gym in the hotel, swim if they have a pool, stay up to incredibly late hours because I can't sleep in those beds, masturbate when I get bored. I also spend lots of time missing my broadband connection at home.

sleep out of town... can't do that at home.

I really only stay in hotels when i travel, I have yet to have any real fun in them =\

Steal the towels. I can't help it. I make plenty of money and have plenty of towels, but I MUST have one of theirs for the collection.

i masturbate in the shower, then play that SNES they hook up to the TVs for hours.... then masturbate in the bath.

I sleep with clothes on when I'm in a hotel...

I do that at home...:shrug:

Uhhh...I don't bother to clean up...and I take long hot showers and leave the TV on when I'm not using it, unless it really starts bothering me. Then I mute it.:p

I always look in the bathtub to make sure its clean and I dont like using their pillows, I always bring my own

yea pretty much just make a mess, but not a big mess

eat the pillow mints, watch all the channels I don't get at home and raid the minibar.

I jump on the bed. I act all wealthy and say stuff like, <snooty wealthy accent>"Let the maaaiiiid clean it"</snooty wealthy accent>

Oh, and I eat dry bagels for breakfast with burnt coffee.

Room service man...you dont even have to get outta bed to have a meal

jump on the bed, take long showers, leave towels all over the place, steal the little things of soap, sleep on lumpy pillows, and freeze. oh ya and the sex cant forget the sex.

jump on the bed!

I sing....

My S.O. and I took some funnay pics. We put a shower cap on my face and took a pic of it. I look dead.

I have a warped sense of humor.

Also, I would prolly do this at home if I was bored enough.

Oh, and if we get a jacuzzi room, I could care less about getting the carpet wet when we get out. At home, I would never let my carpet get wet and not care.

Nothing - When I have a need to make use of a hotel room, I treat it like I would if in my own home.

I don't stay in hotels often but when i do i generally make a mess (my wife is a very tidy peerson) and fill the mini bar with my own beer. oh and a steak sandwich at 1am after a night on the piss is a good way to keep the room service people awake LOL

I take a bath. Our bathtub at home is a bit uhh... gross. So I always take a bath in hotels :)

Thats funny!

I think I do about everything that's been posted in here.

Use mouthwash. I don't have mouthwash at home, have no real need for it, but I use it in the hotel.

crank the air and leave the TV on even when Im leaving the room

-leave my rauncy, dirty undergarments lying around in plain view
-leave all lights on etc when leaving the room
-take anything good like free toothbrushes
-never leave anything worth stealing in the room unless it's a good hotel

I've never taken a bath in a hotel which I do at home. It's scary to think how many people's nasty feet have touched the bath not to mention how many times I(and others) have peed in the shower.

Since I don't have AC or cable at home, those go on almost immediately :)

Then I can watch South Park and the History channel while I happily shiver under the blankets :D

I may be 19 years old, but I will never be too old to jump on hotel beds.

smoke in bed

I clip my toenails and let them go everywhere.
I take the subscription cards that fall out of the porn mags I buy and put them into the bible.
I set the alarm for 3:00 am for the next guy, in case he forgets.
I change the programmable settings on the TV as much as possible.

Have sex as loud as possible!! and who cares if things get messy!!! ;)

watch the discovery channel. im serious. i never watch this at home. but whenever i'm in a hotel and channel surfing, discovery always keeps my attention :-D

JUMP ON THE BED!

definatly take that top cover off...it's totally gross. then turn down the a/c as low as it till go...turn on the tv really loud and order room service....i always throw the towels on the floor...but i always put them in a pile before i leave, and make sure all the trash is in the can and leave a tip of course

use one of those little buckets for my ice

Party hard and not clean up after it. Room service gets paid for that crap anyways, so i say mess your room up as much as you want, make them work for there 7 an hour for changing the bed sheets and bringing fresh towels

I never hang up towels. I usually have a dinner with someone, so I rarely eat in the room, although I might raid the mini bar if I need a snack when I first check in. I'm usually pretty drunk when I get back, so I'll see what's on TV, then usually pass out with it on. And in the mornings, I usually rub one out to either Robin Meade or Saved By The Bell if one of the last couple of years is on. Then I wipe it on the bed.

And once I took a giant dump in a sink, but that was only because I'd just checked in and the toilet was broken and it was an emergency.

emergency my ass..excuse the pun

i dont do the bed in hotels....oh hang on.. i dont do the bed any day of the week

have only really stayed at a hotel when with friends.

Push all the beds together and wrestle
Turn the AC on and leave it at the current room temp
Steal all the soaps
Adjust the tv and alarm clock settings

I get homesick.

Nobody runs the remote up and down the crack of their ass?

I really don't do much at a hotel that I don't do at home, except maybe put ice in a big plastic bucket. At I home I just use the ice tray.

It's always exciting the first night.

Turn on CNN or CNBC first thing.
Then check the view.
Extra loud 'playing', enjoying that there aren't the usual neighbors to disturb.
Enjoy the pool, make those waffles for breakfast.
By the third day of hotels, Tt is crabby from lack of sleep on the less-than perfect beds (nothing is as comfy as home) and it stops being fun.

We take advantage of the endless hot water in the shower. I also hang out in just my underwear/naked more often. And then of course there's more vocal sex. Rawr. I like hotels.

I see a lot of posts saying that they take long hot showers. Why can't you do it at home?

The minimum time it takes me to take a shower is 30 minutes. Sometimes I'm in it for an hour. I like to soak.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

I'm never watching hotel TV again...

I generally go for 3-4.5 minutes at home. If I want to soak I can take baths for up to 45-75 minutes. Quite the contrast xD

I can't wash everything I want to wash in 3-4 minutes. I feel dirty if I don't completely soap up.

it usually involves restraints of some sort.

i try to listen to people in the next room having sex. and i watch tv. i can't do either at home.

When my boyfriend and I got a hotel room together.. we had loud ass sex the first night. The next morning we saw his parents walking out of the room right next to us. They complained about their neighbors (on the other side)..they said they think their neighbors were either having a party in their room or having sex. So embarrassing. >_< haha


I also made a mess of the room.. but then I felt guilty because my mother used to be a hotel cleaning lady so I stuffed everything into the small ass waste basket they had in the bathroom. I also folded up the towels and set them on the floor in a clean pile.

At home I just throw my shit around the place and pick it up the next time I pass by it. :P

Auto-erotic asphyxiation...

ok there carradine....

I never take baths, unless I'm at a hotel. Once I get in the bath, it usually turns to masturbation, because when you're not used to seeing your penis happily bobbing up and down in the water, you play with it, because the sheer physics of it are fun.
I don't get room service, but smoking in bed is a luxury I won't say no to. Ah...hotels..

Work and get a paycheck.

That never happens at home.

Hmmm - maybe I don't want to pay for all that excess water wastage? I don't take long showers in hotels either.

Whenever I stay in a hotel, without fail, I jump on the bed(s) and crank the A/C as high as it will go. I love coming in from a hot day and the room feeling like the frozen tundra.

I use the showercap in the shower.

hahaha zing. Jesus, I'm a terrible person.

Uh, well.

I take nice long baths with nice smelly candles and soaps. I order room service. I kill a hooker. Call it a night.

Same here. I've been in the hospitality industry for 14 years and I can honestly say that there is nothing any of you can say that I either haven't seen before or heard of from others in the industry. Even after all this time it still amazes me what some people will do when they think they can get away with it just because they are not at home/paid for the night.

Keep in mind that there is always somebody who has to clean up after you/deal with the issues you cause (noise complaints and whatnot). Just because you paid for the room and don't know the staff doesn't make it any less rude or right.

Sorry if I come off as a bit of a prick. Just finished another day at work where I had to field numerous noise complaints against a youth soccer team that was staying here over the weekend that trashed their rooms and the pool area and ran the halls all night. Not only did it cost us extra in housekeeping to clean the rooms but i also ended up having to refund several other rooms for the problems caused. I also had to let the night security who was on duty go for not handling the situation as it occurred not just the one night but for both nights the team was here. So let's see, the hotel lost money and someone lost their job all because of some 'harmless' fun. Needless to say that team will not be staying with us again or any other hotel in the city. Yes we do inform each other of problem guests so if you get kicked out of one don't be surprised to find yourself on the 'do not rent' list at other properties in the same area.

Well that's my little rant. Oh and as for pulling off the top cover....highly recommened.

I'm gonna be freaked out about touching much of anything next time I'm in a hotel.

I generally don't do anything that bad to a hotel room. If there's no fridge, the sink gets turned into one with a bunch of ice and filled with beer. Or the tub when necessary.

Wow I am glad i read about the top cover...

I usually let the water run for a while so it gets nice and hot before I jump into the tub. At home I don't let the water run like that. I also jump on the bed.

steal things
