Alice McFlurry :bc:
@Alice@beige.party  ·  activity timestamp last month

We checked into a hotel on Saturday and the TV had the typical thing where it was like "Welcome, Alice!" along with a loop of obnoxious ads about the hotel chain and my hotel ritual is turning that off ASAP, but the remote was nowhere to be found.

At that point, my husband started looking behind and under everything and essentially crawling around on the hotel room floor until he found the remote under the bed.

It was really small and basic, but I also have a Roku remote that's kiiiiind of similar so I started smashing all of the buttons trying to turn off the damn TV, but nothing happened and it was at that moment that everything clicked and I was like "oh no is this a remote for someone's sex toy?" and then Google lens confirmed my theory.

I immediately placed it in a tissue and went down to the lobby to tell reception what I found and to trade that remote for a real TV remote, but I can't stop thinking about what I may have been doing to the poor person in possession of the other half while I was smashing all of those buttons.

A story in 4 pictures. 

1. Small remote on a night stand. 
2. Google lens result for the small remote. 
3. Product photo for the remote and its counterpart, which is a c-shaped vibrator for couples
4. Vibrator remote wrapped in a taco tissue on its way down to the lobby via an elevator

@Alice it's ok, in my experience those wevibe remotes don't work even when they are right next to the toy

@Alice We found a g-string once wrapped up in the curtains on the ground at a hotel. That was pretty funny!

@Alice pity the person who keeps smashing the buttons on the missing remote trying to get their sex toy to work.

@Alice It's when I read this kind of stories that I'm grateful for my very visual imagination.
My brain totally pictured you angrily beating on every button and the result on the unsuspecting "owner".🤣

Oh, don't worry - they were enjoying it...

@Alice FWIW, if the remote isn't right under the TV, I just unplug it. That would have prevented this story, which is all our loss, but you wouldn't have wound up spelunking for sex toys under a hotel bed.

For me, the biggest loss is the image of the hotel clerk calling prior guests and asking about the remote. Especially if the toy owner hadn't figured out it was the wrong remote.

@ColesStreetPothole When I got back to the reception desk, it was the same guy who had checked us in since it had been maybe fifteen minutes at most and I was smirking and said "someone left this in our room" and held out the tissue to hand it to him and he tried to reach into the tissue to grab it and I was like "it's in a tissue taco for a reason so you probably want to grab it by the tissue."

@Alice 🤣 That was kind of you. If he works the desk at a hotel, it's probably not his first rodeo. 😆 People are freaks. Hotel lost and founds are filled with crazy shit.

There seriously was NO way we would have even bothered looking under the bed in a hotel room were I not so desperate to turn off the TV and all I can picture is that couple getting home from their vacation and gearing up for some activities and realizing they're in possession of the hotel's TV remote instead.

This class would be extremely popular in most colleges and universities.

You should not feel pity for the person who left it. You should have mashed more buttons. They made someone look under a hotel bed and touch what they found there.
