Do you take home things from a hotel?

Such as:
Packets of sugar
Pens and notepads

I heard people taking home towels. That's crazy.

What stuff do you take home? We're at a hotel checking out today and I'm gonna take home this 20ml tube of body lotion because it smells really good.😁

I always take the tiny little shampoo and conditioner bottles, since I've paid for them anyway. Sometimes I will take the tiny little soap from the sink area if it is still wrapped. I also take the candies from the pillows if they are wrapped, because I don't eat them on site, AND I always considered them paid for by the hefty tip I would leave for housekeeping.

If you take anything else at all, it is very low, trashy behavior.

@4meAndyou I think all the things you mentioned are part of the deal so I'd have no worries about taking those. Sometimes I have a double room to myself and get an extra little chocolate which I eat - but don't tell anyone. 🤣

@FreddieUK I will tell YOU, since we have the same standards, that I grew up traveling with my mother and paternal Grandmother, who embarrassed me enormously where ever we would go.

My mother would open up her huge purse and dump in packets of sugar, and jelly, and even BUTTER from our restaurant table, while my grandmother, (back in the days when smoking was allowed in restaurants), would open up HER purse and steal the ashtrays...usually those marked with the name of the restaurant and the town and state in which it was located. THOSE were her "souvenirs". The matches she took were complimentary.

My grandmother actually STOLE petrified wood from the Petrified forest...which just shocked me.

@4meAndyou It's good that you didn't inherit the kleptomaniac streak. I wonder how you managed to develop a more moral approach to life with such bad examples? Perhaps a good moral education at school.

@FreddieUK I was deeply impressed by the nuns at my religious lessons. They were very sweet...and I admired them very much. But I was also extremely rebellious, and contrary. Whatever my mother was, I wanted to be the opposite. Perhaps those two things worked together for my salvation! 🤣🤣🤣
