This is just fucking simple and brilliant.

I don't know what's going on in the image.

They're using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?

The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.

why? they're free at the hotel closet

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

All of them?

I've never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.

Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.

This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl -1 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah I appreciate the creativity and the lateral thinking that went into this.

I've never seen the problem that causes this as I'm insensitive to light and can sleep with any lighting condition.

But if someone was too experience this frequently enough to come up with this solution, there would be a way more straight forward (and consistent) way to solve this.

Sure, it's legal in my country.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 months ago

Tbh I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. I just use a dryer.

[–] gift_of_gab@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

For now, sure.

[–] rascalnikov@literature.cafe 24 points 4 months ago

why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don't have clamps.
