I'm also wondering if, you know, people just like they use hotels as their like personal
sex dungeons.
I feel like do people just leave behind like fat dildos and sex toys and things?
Yes.
Welcome back to other people's lives.

I'm Greg Dyback.

So just send us your story and we'll get back to you.
Today we are speaking with a woman who is a housekeeper at a hotel.
are going to learn about all the behind the scenes of being a housekeeper at a
hotel, the things that she's seen, dealt with. I don't know if I want to know some
of these things because we might never stay in a hotel again, but you know
that's our job here. We got to learn what really goes on, you know, what people are
seeing that that we don't see out there in the world. So we've got the guests on
and thank you so much for being on today. I'm super excited. So this might be kind
of obvious to people, but can you just, I guess, walk us through the role of a
housekeeper and maybe just describe the hotel that you work at.
Okay.
Work at a hotel and it's kind of small ish, but we got like festivals and stuff
going on.
So we're like right next to where those happen.
Uh, well, so I get a cart, which we have this like big, huge, like rolling carts
to put sheets and towels and pillowcases, pillow protectors, all that stuff that
we would hospital need or cleaners.
I bring extra stuff because I've been at my job for quite a while.
So I bring extra things like air fresheners that I believe because some of these rooms I think smell kind of gross.
I bring like carpet cleaners if I can't get them at work.
I bring a lot of extra stuff. I even bring crayons and colored pencils because I draw pictures on my cards for the guests.
Because I figured that just in case they've had a hard day, it might make them smile.
So we get a list of, it's either called stayovers or do-outs.
If it's a stayover, it's a person that's still there
and they're gonna be there for a while.
And if it's a do-out, they already left
or they're about to leave that day.
So they'll give us a list
depending on how many people are there.
Some housekeepers just don't show up to work
and then it gives the full load of it to one or two of them.
So when we go to work, we got going down the hallway,
there are, so we only have three floors.
So one of the floors I go on sometimes you get stuck with half of one floor,
half of another and you go to where you're supposed to look,
survey what you see. So you start, I usually start with trash.
Depending on where we go in, it could be kind of gross. Uh,
when you have parties, bridal showers,
just bridal parties in general, birthday parties, all that.
I was actually, I was actually going to ask like what, you know,
