Hotels need to start charging these really messy guests extra. They could state on the registration paperwork that people who are disrespectful to their rooms will be charged a fee, or they're deposits kept if they're paying cash. It's unlikely that housekeeping would get any extra for having to clean those rooms, but maybe it would be a deterrent in general.
I don't want to use the same bathroom as men. I grew up with four brothers; and now I have a husband and two boys. I know what I'm talking about. Even the good ones are problematic when it comes to bathrooms. They don't even NOTICE bathroom mess, or pretty much most messes anywhere else. But bathroom is worst.
I don't clean them for a living, but most women's restrooms in places I go are fairly clean. Occasion exceptions, but they always make me go "hmm that's weird and disgusting."
I worked in a very high end hotel until my recent retirement. We regularly charged guests extra for damages or blood/feces left in rooms. Sometimes we confronted the guest, sometimes not. The housekeeper always got extra pay for cleaning blood/feces/vomit. Union pay for housekeepers is pretty respectable- $25+ per hour. Bellmen really deserve more tips. They have a shit wage and work their asses off.
Grossness aside, that one room with the blood everywhere was a health hazard at best and a literal crime scene at worst. Cleaning it may have destroyed evidence.
It just boggles my mind how disgusting people are when it's not their space or their job to clean up the mess. I leave towels on the bathroom floor, because I am prone to slipping on wet tile. That's the messiest I ever get.
All that sounds really gross, but to be fair, these incidents don't seem to have been willfully committed. People who have IBS sometimes can't control what happens; the lady with the leaky bag, too. I thank God that all of my unintended episodes happened in my own home, where I was the one who had to clean it up.
I had a friend who experienced a period of homelessness, unemployment and substance abuse that we finally learned was due to a series of minors strokes he had suffered, undiagnosed at first. I helped him out occasionally, including driving him to the store so he could pay his phone bill, helping him get groceries, etc. Though I cared about him, during this time, he literally reeked of body odor, unwashed clothes, stale cigarette smoke, etc. I'd have to roll down the windows when he was in my car. I always wondered how he could stand it, but when we learned about the strokes, we learned that his sense of smell had been impaired.
I'm pretty lucky. I rent from my friend, who owns the duplex we live in. She asks rent for what I feel is pretty much market rate, but I can do it, so I'm happy. And whenever something breaks, I tell her immediately - she is grateful that I look out for stuff instead of letting it ride or get worse. I'm retired, and though I have a nest egg that would allow me to buy property, whenever I get those yearnings, I remind myself how good I have it.
If they were, they wouldn’t tell the housekeeper to just hurry and clean it up. They’d go record evidence first, so they have something to prove why they tried to charge for damages.
Your friend had a stroke that impaired his sense of smell, there are people with mental health issues like hoarding but otherwise there is no reason to keep a house dirty or not put trash in a trash bin.

Same. Just the way I was raised.

Imagine teaching your kid that it's ok to do that. Fuck how awful.
Just to clarify, I mean the pee in the dressing room, not the tidying up after yourselves and tipping.

Went today. Very empty, and everyone thoroughly check for shot records, and mandatory masks.
oh good. I'm glad to hear that. I've been worried about the strip, and people being their usual dumb selves since the pandemic started.

Do we actually know that they aren't doing it?
I grew up with three brothers, and I lived with a husband and one son. I am totally with you, there, sistah.
