‘The hotel eventually kicked them out’
Our neighbours had a house fire and got put up at a local hotel by their insurance. The hotel eventually kicked them out. They had nine kids who would spend the day running up and down the halls. Nonstop noise complaints.
The next thing we knew, two giant trailors were in the yard on either side of the burned-out house, each about twenty feet from our house and the neighbouring house on the other side.
The investigation eventually found that they had stacked newspaper up to the ceiling in giant piles in the basement to make money off of recycling. It had caught fire when they ran a kerosene heater next to it. They were lucky they weren’t all killed.

Mr Midnight Microwave
It all started when the guest checked in late one evening. He seemed normal enough until he asked, “Does my room come with a microwave?” I told him it didn’t. He looked devastated and said, “I cannot survive without a microwave”. He stormed out and came back an hour later—dragging a full-size microwave he’d purchased from a nearby store.
The trouble really started at 3 a.m. when the fire alarm went off, waking the entire hotel. Turns out, Mr. Midnight Microwave decided to cook a steak in his new appliance. Not just heat it—he’d seasoned it, wrapped it in foil, and popped it in like it was an oven. The foil caused a small fire, which set off the sprinklers in his room. By the time we got there, his room was soaked, the microwave was destroyed, and he was trying to “save” his steak by patting it dry with hotel towels.
When asked why he’d thought this was a good idea, he replied, “I didn’t know microwaves couldn’t cook steak! This is YOUR fault for not having one in the room in the first place.”… Needless to say, he was charged for the damage, the room was out of commission for weeks.
Another Reddit user asked the question, “How’d the steak turn out?” To which OP replied: “Sloppy.”

The ‘intruder’
I used to work as a night receptionist at a hotel in Jalandhar, India a few years ago. Most nights were uneventful, but one guest will forever be burned into my memory.
It was around 2 a.m. when a man came stumbling to the front desk, looking panicked. He whispered, ‘There’s someone in my room!’ Naturally, I was alarmed. I immediately checked the system to ensure he hadn’t been double-booked, but everything looked fine.
I offered to check the room with him. As we entered, I turned on the lights, and there it was—the “intruder.” It was a life-sized cutout of a Bollywood actor that we had placed in the hallway for a promotion earlier that day. For some reason, he had brought it into his room, propped it in a corner, and forgotten about it.
I tried to keep a straight face as he muttered something about being ‘too tired’ and shuffled back to bed. The next morning, he checked out like nothing had happened. But I’ll never forget having to ‘rescue’ someone from their own cardboard celebrity at 2 a.m.

Poop in the ice machine
Probably the one who shat into the ice machine.
Or the one who turned on the fire hose and flooded their floor. Oh, wait, that was the same guy who shat into the ice machine.

They left a Thank You note on the wall
Had a guest who pooped in the shower and left a “thank you” note on the wall. Classy.

‘Got a hold of the wife. She was sweet.’
A man was checking into a room that was under his wife’s name. She did not add his name to the room so I could not let him in. I had to call the wife to get permission.
We do this for guest safety.
I couldn’t get ahold of her and he was livid.
He didn’t want to show me his ID. DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM I HAVE BEEN STAYING HERE FOR 14 YEARS. The hotel was 4 years old, I was very new at the job as well, like 3 months.
Once I did have his ID he was threatening me and my job saying I would regret the day I did this to him. His wife was gonna kill me.
Eventually got ahold of wife. She gave approval, she was so sweet. I smiled and gave him the room key. He told me to go f**k myself.
This whole thing was like 30 minutes.
