Taxi drivers, croupiers, waiters… Some professions allow the chance to have a peek at human nature from an angle that would be really hard to find elsewhere. However, while most of them deal with people in person, others get to “meet” them mostly through the leftovers of their presence.

In November, Reddit user ThatSportsGameGuy made a post on the platform, asking hotel cleaners, “What is the weirdest thing you have found in a [guest’s] room?” and the replies came flying in. From bees to false teeth, continue scrolling to check out the ones that raise the most questions.

This guest left his mom a disable elderly woman in her room for 2 days, she was unclothed, with a colonoscopy bag and catheter bag full to the max. This woman had not eaten in 2 days and could have died if we did not do a life and safety check when the bill was not paid for a 1 nighter. We eventually located her son, who tried to dump her in the hotel so he could go on a bender.

Blood, lots of blood. Literally on everything. Me, and the person cleaning with me, got out of there and reported it. Customer had gotten extremely drunk and sliced his hand open, then freaked. Also found various weapons and one time a raccoon trap. This was my first job, in high school.

I worked at a mountain/ski resort the first year it opened. There was a big snowfall in mid-November and suddenly we were fully booked for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Management didn’t hire any extra cleaning staff, so it took us almost the rest of the next week to work our way through all the rooms and suites.

You would not believe how many people had left half-eaten turkey carcasses, not in the refrigerator, or in the trash, but just sitting out on the counter…the smell permeated the rooms, the carpets, the drapes. It was just appalling…

Something different for you-

Was cleaning a room and opened up the nightstand drawer- and found a fire alarm in a sandwich bag, along with the batteries.

It was the one that went to the room, on the ceiling. The ceiling which was much taller than on any other floor. It couldn’t be reached even by a reasonably tall man standing on the bed, and they had to grab one of the tallest ladders to put it back on.

We have no idea how the man reached this, or if he brought in a ladder to do so, nor do we know why. He never spoke to front desk about it.

I had a checkout where someone left behind their false teeth. They never came back for them.

I used to be a housekeeper back in my youth to pay for college. I’d say for my weirdest was when I saw these three cowboy dudes (and this was the south so that was normal) come out of a room around checkout. I head in to clean it up and there were beer cans and bottles on every available surface but the floor. Weirdest part though, room smelled completely normal and was fairly clean. Not a single indication that the beer was drank there.

The grossest was when the hotel would have a section of it rented out for the local disabled Olympics. I don’t know if it’s because the people caring for the group with us just didn’t care or if it’s because they were mostly in non-disabled rooms, but those rooms were bad. Our managers would take first pass and just throw out anything in there as it was covered in feces and vomit and blood. We’d clean a bit and then let the rooms air out before a final clean and stock.

Broccoli and spinach in the shower on two separate occasions. THREE jars of mustard on the bedside table (this was in a suite that had a full kitchen and separate bedroom.. no logical reason why the mustard would be in the bedroom).
