There may be surprises when you stay at a hotel that you didn’t expect. These surprises can be scary or funny. The eight people in this group were in situations that were both strange and scary, whether they were guests or staff. These stories take you on a wild ride, from nightmares with rude customers to shocking discoveries in hotel rooms. Still, there’s always time to laugh, even when things are crazy.

1. A friend of mine runs an old motel. I was with him one night when a guest called to say they heard a loud crash in the room next door. Based on what my friend sees, no one had booked the room. We both feel uneasy, so we go look into it together. We knock on the door. Nothing. The door creaks open, and we see a cat sitting in the middle of the room. My friend opens it. It broke a lamp when it fell over.
The cat came right up to us and was very friendly. We looked at the room records when we got back to the office. The cat was left behind by the last guest three days ago when he checked out. He was on the other side of the country when we called, and he said he wasn’t coming back for the cat. She is now the motel cat because my friend chose to keep her. She walks around the property and keeps mice and other animals in line. As one of the “employees,” she even has a picture of herself on the wall. We’re still not sure how the maids missed her while they were cleaning the room. We believe that the vacuum scared her, so she ran away. mrsheikh on Reddit

2. I worked at a hotel before. Someone left three-week-old milk in the fridge one time. But they had only been in the room for three days, so when they checked in, the four weeks had already passed. Who carries around bad milk? From llcucf80 on Reddit

3. I worked at a small hotel at night. One night, around 2 a.m., this older man called the front desk in a panic. “There’s a ghost in my room!” he said in a whisper. It’s on top of my bed.”
I go to his room right away. He’s standing in the corner with his mouth open and his finger on the bed. When I looked, I saw that he had thrown his suit jacket over the back of a chair. In the dim light, it made a shape that looked like a shadowy person standing next to his bed.
I just took the jacket off, held it up, and said, “This is your ghost, sir.” He looked at me for a second and then laughed out loud. He left a great review about our “ghost-busting” service when he checked out the next morning.

4. One night when I worked the night shift, I was the only worker in the whole hotel. That night, around 3 a.m., I got a few calls about a fight in an upstairs hallway. I took scissors out of my pocket and tucked them up my sleeve. Then I went upstairs to see what was going on.
When I got there, two guys were in a real fight. There’s a big difference between these guys and me. They were taller and in better shape. When I got close, a third guy, who was the same size as the other two, yelled, “Get away from him!”
I stopped behind them and yelled at them. They all looked at me right away and stopped. I was about to run away when they all lost their air. The third guy went back inside, and the other two guys let go of each other. They all hung their heads and said, “I’m sorry,” but not out loud.
They looked like a group of little kids who were caught stealing cookies. These people were told to leave right away or I would call the police. All of them showed no response. As I led them out of the elevator, they followed me in and apologized and pouted the whole time. Things have never gone from 100 to 0 so quickly before. Vypernorad and Reddit

5. I worked in a pretty fancy hotel with guests from all over the world. I was pushing a room attendant’s cart down a hallway one morning when a guest came up to me and tried to explain something. It was awkward, though, because we didn’t speak the same language. He finally motioned for me to come to his room, so I went with him to the bathroom.
As soon as he pointed to his toilet, I smelled something bad. When I looked, all I saw was a huge turd sitting there. His language was still being used, but I didn’t get what he was saying. Finally, he pushed the flush button. The toilet flushed, his turd went away, and he looked at me with a strangely proud face. I smiled, gave him two thumbs up, and walked away. Maciejk8 on Reddit
