Good Thing Hotels Don't Charge For Left-Behind Chargers

[eeyore]

If you forget to pack your mobil device charger(s) don't go out and buy a new one. Hotels have them by the bin full.

I bet they do. Lord knows I've left mine on more than one occasion. Now I put it in an outlet near where I have my suitcase, and I string in through the suitcase. Effing chargers. Weren't we supposed to be wireless and flying around in hovercrafts by now?

I'm almost as bad as the patron who left his book on how to improve your memory. They say first the memory goes. I can't remember what goes after that...

Has anyone ever forgotten a person? When I was a teenager my family went on a vacation by car. My father, mother, brother, and me. Enroute we stopped at a restaurant. When it came time to leave my brother went to the restroom. We had driven over 25 miles before anyone realized we had left my brother behind!

LOL I always wondered if this happened in real life or just the movies. Was your brother feeling a little left out or did he take it all in stride?

When I stay at hotels I always have to look around to see if I am leaving any checks (chips) behind. After playing a long session I sometimes don't wanna deal with cashing out. Especially if there is a line at the casino cage. So I will stuff them in my pockets and/or grab a few racks and carry them to my room. But I am always concerned that I have dropped one or two somewhere int he room .. and that one could be a $100. check .. so I am constantly looking and re-looking before leaving a hotel room.

If you leave one under your pillow does the fairy godmother leave you a nice looking present?

Hmmm I will need to try that. Maybe I will wake up to find a hot twink next to me

I found this out by actually forgetting a charger. The lost and found showed me the box and said "help yourself!"

I wonder how many vibrators they find?

He surprised us all. He was always the "scaredy-cat" type. He said he was just reaching for the door handle on the car as my dad pulled away. He thought my dad was trying to be funny and would stop about 20 feet later, so he was sure surprised when he watched the car enter the highway and disappear. Somehow he figured out that sooner or later we would notice he wasn't in the car.

When we arrived back, there he was, sitting on a bench and eating an ice cream cone. When my dad pulled up we thought we were going to find him traumatized and crying. Just the opposite. He nonchalantly got in the car and said to my dad, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, "You owe me 75 cents for the ice cream cone."

Exactly. I always scour the room before leaving, both for chargers and other gadgets that would be a nuisance to have to replace, and to pick up any condoms, etc. littered around. Disgusting for housekeeping to have to pick up that crap after me. One compulsion I have is to always look under the bed, both for sex debris and for anything valuable that may have gotten shoved under there in the throes of the evening. One time I did find a vibrator -- a previous guest's -- which I elected not to disturb.

In my city in France once a guy looked under the hotel bed while checking out and saw a dead hooker.
