Man walks in hotel bathroom. Then he sees the revenge the last guest left behind: ‘Someone must not have gotten early check in’
If you work in the hospitality industry, you know it’s full of surprises. Until you twist that lock or swipe the digital key card, you never know what stunts guests have pulled behind closed doors. Forget stumbling into a trashed hotel room. What a Marriott front desk agent discovered in the lobby’s bathroom sink boiled his blood.
What Did This Marriott Desk Agent Walk Into?
A simple, four-word text overlay perfectly describes his feelings about the situation: “Hotel guests so irritating.”
New York City-based Marriott front desk agent Jed (@jedskino) unveils a bathroom rectangular sink flooded with water and dripping down the counter.
“People are so [expletive] annoying,” he says, frustrated. “Why do I come in here to somebody, like?” Then, he leans over the counter to turn the faucet off. “Like, what’s the point, bro? Come on, gang.”
However, the content creator manages to find humor in the situation, cracking a joke as to why the guest would’ve left the faucet running. “Some1 must not have gotten early check in or sum,” he quips in the caption.
Viewers Weigh In
Jed’s clip racked up over 651,000 views, where some proposed their theories.
“Why doesn’t the sink have a working overflow drain?” one viewer asked.
“It’s [because automatic] sinks and toilets form a habit. Sometimes I forget to flush at home when I’m not focusing,” another proposed.
“They thought it was gonna shut off by itself,” a third suggested.
Meanwhile, other alleged hospitality employees resonated with the Marriott worker’s experience, where customer antics were not uncommon.
“I did 10 years in the military and 9 months as a GM of a hotel…guess which one was worse,” one commenter shared.
“As a person who has worked front desk and housekeeping, I wish that I can make up certain things for my own sanity,” a second revealed.
“We had a guest fall asleep while running water in the tub and soaked the room,” a third recalled.
According to Jed, the culprit remains unknown. “This wasn’t in a room, it was in the lobby BR. We have no idea who did it,” Jed said.
How Does A Marriott Bathroom Sink Overflow?
Whether it’s a personal or public bathroom sink, you may have noticed a hole in the back of the sink bowl near the rim. It’s not there for aesthetic purposes but a functional one called the overflow hole. This prevents water from overflowing by draining into the opening and down the pipe. In addition, overflow prevention improves draining through the air pushing through the overflow channel, according to Spruce. There doesn’t appear to be an overflow drain in Jed’s clip, which could’ve caused the flooding, as one viewer noted. Each state varies, where this preventive measure isn’t a requirement.
