I don't know what's going on in the image.

They're using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

This is just fucking simple and brilliant.

The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.

Wow, saving this video. Thanks!

The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can't be removed from the closet

[–] [email protected] 98 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

This has been my experience as well

I believe I did stay at one property where they weighed cost of the inconvenience as lower than the cost of the theft - completely locked to the rod

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bring a set of tools and take the hangers and the rod too, just for spite

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just one simple trick. Hotel owners hate this.

Also at hotels while traveling .... ask for a better room or any upgrades. Worst thing anyone will say is no.

But if you're lucky to run into a manager in a good mood or even the owner, they'll give you something just for asking.

I already paid $5 to turn the cable on.

I don’t think my motel 6 has a better room than 2 full size beds and free HBO

I had a guy try to stab me because I asked. I'd categorize that as worse than no.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If that happened to me at a hotel .... I'd give up my prebooked room and leave, no matter the cost ... definitely not a hotel I'd want to stay in.

Just overlap the curtains?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 day ago (3 children)

many hotels cheap out and have crappy curtains that are designed in such a way that it can't be overlapped

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

which means they also don't have cloth hangers with clips so you need to pack one each time...

I've never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don't have clamps.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.

This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.

Sure, it's legal in my country.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

For now, sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Tbh I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. I just use a dryer.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m traveling right now and will do this when I get back to my hotel.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Let us know you're ok afterwards

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m starting to get nervous something went wrong

Clamped it around his neck, seen this tragedy a dozen times

Lets just sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here

I am not really sure what's going on in this picture

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They used a hanger to keep closed those useless curtains that are in a lot of hotels.

I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!
