Yo, isn't that from Amazon's Reacher? S1E?

And here I usually leave the curtains wide open unless there’s a flashing light.

Great tip! My biggest issue is usually that the curtains themselves barely block any light. Light leaking between them tends to be a secondary issue.

I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!

[–] [email protected] 90 points 2 days ago (6 children)

The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can't be removed from the closet

I've also always thought that was a cost/theft issue, but I wonder if its also to prevent people from trying to use the hook-type hangers from hanging things from fire suppression sprinkler heads.

Just bring a pair of side cutters with you. Snip snip and you’re good to go!

I'd never go to a hotel without my leatherman with me.

Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.

Bring one with you. Or a binder clip, bag clip, etc etc

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Keep a couple clothespins/binder clips in your bag?

I don't always carry my BDSM kit with me though. Sometimes a business trip is only a business trip.

I am not really sure what's going on in this picture

Your mom, Ronald McDonald, and a barrel of tartar sauce are just out of frame. I'd look away son.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Please, everyone knows Ronald uses Big Mac Sauce

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's just catsup and mayo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Dude what are you doing? They'll come after you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Not with gigachads mom he doesn't

They used a hanger to keep closed those useless curtains that are in a lot of hotels.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m traveling right now and will do this when I get back to my hotel.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let us know you're ok afterwards

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m starting to get nervous something went wrong

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Clamped it around his neck, seen this tragedy a dozen times

Lets just sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here

Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They might at least not put you next to the hourly rentals

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

But then you have a longer walk

I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, I also remember staying in Glasgow once.

Thats just the usual hotel experience

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

The sheets were clean. And i got a free fridge magnet.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If that happened to me at a hotel .... I'd give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost ... definitely not a hotel I'd want to stay in.

Done this many times. It helps so much when you don't need to be up at the crack of dawn.
