"I recently met someone from *redacted insurance company* who worked at an office where someone managed to get a huge compensation claim because he was in the men's loo and SO MUCH PORN fell out the suspended ceiling that it knocked him unconscious."
But quickly came around.
A friend used to work for Travelodge and from his stories, some of the stuff found in rooms was hilarious (especially the rooms where a person stayed regularly and always requested the same room number).
Brings a whole new meaning to knocking one out.
Puts this in a new perspective...
I checked in to a hotel in ghastly Guildford only to find the room was being 'used'. It appeared between check-in and out times the hotel had found new business.
Certain budget hotel chains are quite happy to (unofficially) charge out their rooms by the hour...
Was this story from the 1980s?
How many micro sd cards/usb sticks does it take to knock [some]one out?

Apparently it's not limited to 'budget' hotels...... see Dayuse

Chapeu!
We often find bottles of vodka above ceiling tiles in the toilets when doing maintainance / repairs in large office buildings.
Nobody has been knocked out by one yet although a few have smashed.
It's a dead giveaway if you get constant repair jobs for broken toilet seats with the secret drinkers standing on them to reach their stash.
Never use the room kettle, a guy at work found a jobby in one.....

What a desperate level to drop to in order to get through the working day!
I once worked with someone who constantly drank coke at her desk. We eventually found out she was topping it up all day with vodka 🙁
When I worked in one of the corporate chalets at Farnborough Airshow as a holiday job, the Russian chef just used to put his, (our) bottles of illicit Vodka in the toilet cistern. Kept it cool as well as hidden was his logic.

Similar thing from an old job where she drank a lot of 'lucozade'. Really sad, she lost her job through it and ultimately custody of her son.

To be honest I'd never thought about this until a couple of colleagues mentioned that they don't use the in room kettles because of the frequency with which people pee in them. WTF.
Mind you, as someone who doesn't drink hot drinks it's not an issue I would have ever come across.
Many years ago, a colleague found a magazine in the gents, left it there, then came and told us.
A couple of hours later, our boss was stood over him while he went through his tray looking for a case file, and said magazine had migrated to his intray 😄😎
When Bill Clinton visited Northern Ireland during the Good Friday talks Marine One and the accompanying helicopters landed at the base I was at. One of the White House aides asked if she could use the toilet in our office by the HLS. Before I could think it through I said "sure" and off she went.
When she came back out she was blushing a bit, which may have been due to the extensive collection of Gentleman's Literature pilled on the toilet cistern and the fact that the the walls and back of the door were wallpapered with artistic life photographs from said literature.

I always sleep on the hotel room floor - you know what goes on in those beds...
