Plenty or Redditors have stories about this and are ready to share.
I'm not the only person who does something a bit quirky like this when they first enter a hotel rooms. He only had to do this one more time, during our next trip, for me to realize this wasn't a one-off.Įver since, and even now in adulthood, my brother and I always intentionally spill something on our sheets during our first night in order to get clean sheets, at least for the duration of our stay.
When we returned, he turned the pillow cover back, and his mark was still there, proving that the sheets hadn't been changed. He believed me at first, since I was his big sister, but by the time he was 12, he got suspicious.ĭuring one of our trips, he decided to test this by making a mark on his pillow cover with a pen and turning the pillow cover inside out before we left for sightseeing the next morning. Around the time my brother and I were old enough to stay in a room by ourselves (our parents would stay in another one, usually across the hall), he also became a bit of a germaphobe.Īt the time, I actually believed hotels changed the sheets on the beds daily, so when my brother fretted about the cleanliness of the hotels, I reassured him they were fine.
My family went on a lot trips when I was young, and we always stayed in hotel rooms.
