Couldn't we have gone with, "We'll leave the crack spoon out for you."

Might wanna rtfa

So did the 2nd room have the rat crap and a crack pipe? This narrative is confusing.

A baby eat crack. Must have been awake for days

No I think the feces and crack pipe were in the second room.

I'm from Virginia, where ain't shiat to do but cook
Pack it up, sell it triple-price, fark the books
Where we re-up, re-locate, re-off them brooks
So when we pull up, it ain't shiat to do but look

Two things you Farkers shouldn't be surprised about:

1. Motel 6
2. In Va Beach

Suprised there wasn't a dead hooker stuffed in the clos...oh wait. Sorry...that happens in Norfolk.

That's what it seemed like.

I once found a pile of crap (in the middle of the night with my hand) under a comforter in a Days Inn. I don't stay in those anymore.

He's only the spokesperson, not the CEO or anything. Still, since he's so closely associated w/the brand, this won't be good for him...unless he goes on Wait, Wait & says something hilarious about it.

He's scheduled as a panelist for this Saturday's show, so he'll get a chance if they bring it up.

I cannot STAND Tom Bodett's voice. The very essence of a clueless hick's voice. He did the voiceover for some power tool company or Home Depot or something and it was repellent.

It smells a little bit like a set-up lawsuit.

I have a 16 month old. I tend to check out the environment a little better before giving her run of the farm. If anyone is going to find leftover coke in a hotel room, it is going to be me.

Must have been a nice Motel 6... my friend found a burnt crack pipe in his Motel 6 room a couple of weeks ago.

Wait, was it DRUGS or DRUG MONEY?

At Hedo 2 people hide weed that they can't bring home so the next people can use it. It's a tradition.

A friend of mine once stayed in a LaQuinta and when he pulled back the comforter the bed was filled with ants. He asked the clerk for a room with less ants, preferably no ants at all.

I only stay at CLASSY Motel 6s, where every surface of the room has been covered in petroleum jelly by the previous occupant.

Thants.

You're doing it wrong, little baby!

Ive worked in quite a few hotels, from a motel 6 to a 5 Diamond rated hotel and stuff like this happens in any hotel. Maids generally keep what they find but they generally only look for things that are out in the open. When I did maintenance for a few hotels, I had to tear things apart and move beds out and the like, Ive found everything from pythons to bags of cash and handguns to body parts and dead people. At one hotel i was working at, a gentleman's "plastic vag" was found and turned into lost and found. He was still staying at the hotel and called to see where it was. he was told that it would be at the front desk. he came into the lobby in the middle of the night while I was working the front desk and asked for the bag. Then went down the hall to his room. He came back to the desk before returning to the room and asked me if I knew what was in the bag, and I said yeah. He then asked me a few more ridiculous things before I told him to Fark off before I shot him with my taser. (this was in a Rodeway Inn that consistantly had a -3 star rating where I was basically allowed to say what ever I wanted to the customers) The weird thing about the situation was that Im a dude and he was getting all randy trying to talk to me about his fifi.
I have tons of other stories from my days working at hotels that Id like to compile into a book but Im too lazy and stoned to ever get around to it.

I hear for a teething baby, a little cocaine on the gums will help quiet them up. Baby was just self medicating.

Who the heck lets their kid crawl around the nasty floor of a nasty hotel room anyway. Kid is likely to get herpes on their hands and knees or something.

Worse thing I've dealt with in a hotel is someone had stuffed a tennis shoe in the toilet of the room and wedged it really deep.

Ambivalence: Is it odd I actually heard Tom Bodett's voice when I read that headline?



Is it odd that I always hear that phrase in Mike Nelson's voice?

/like a rock!

i would download your book & laugh.

/also i would only go camping. hotels are gross.

My grammy rubbed cocaine on my gums when I was teething and I *tic* turned out *twitch* alright.
/That was the 50's

They must have stayed in room 1408.




/let it snow

All I got from that story is a crush on Anne McNamara.

Step 1. Place crack spoon under bed.
Step 2. Claim your baby found a crack spoon under the bed.
Step 3. Profit.

Your headline scared me subby... I thought Tom Bodette had died from cocaine. Read the first few lines of the article... Wasn't Tom... Read the first few comments in the thread.... wasn't interested. I've read a few of his books. If I remember the two books I enjoyed were "The End of the Road", and "The Big Garage on Clearshot." The other few books I didn't care much for.

i liked the part where the lady called the police station to report the crack pipe and was told "its not a police matter"

He didn't mention this on his Twitter feed, although he has mentioned how this is Motel 6's 50th anniversary and his 25th as the voiceover guy for Motel 6. I'm guessing this is the type of issue they would request he not leave a light on for. Wait Wait might not be so kind however.

I probably remember him as much for that as his "Here's a mime" voiceovers from Animaniacs!

cats4rent,i liked the part where the lady called the police station to report the crack pipe and was told "its not a police matter"

I sort of appreciate the fact that cops are not falling over themselves to hunt down the single owner of some used drug equipment, in a hotel room, in a town full of tourists.

Is this your crackpipe....NO. Can we have your finger prints? No. That sure would be easy to solve.

It is nice some police departments don't easily get in a tizzy over low level drug crime.

am i the only one to doubt the events in this story?

Now, im just guessing by the crack pipe... but uh, that wasn't animal feces.

I for one have never smoked weed found tucked beneath a hotel mattress.

You people are idiots.

I'm very sad to hear about this. I've stayed in some nice Motel 6 hotels. Well, relatively. But, the low end chains don't have very good quality control, so results may vary. Now that I work at a high end hotel, and am expected to give excellent customer service at all times, I see why they cost more. But, you are getting a very nice product, and you can expect a lot. Also, corporate will work hard to make sure you adhere to the brand standard, so you can generally expect one to perform like another. But I've had to stay in cheap hotels, but I learned to bring my own stuff to sleep on, just in case.

/why yes, I am working my way up in the industry...

Ugh. Hotel 6 is nasty. I'd rather shower at a trunk stop and sleep in my car than stay in a Hotel 6

LOL WUT

Came here to say this, and would actually pay a little money to hear him read this headline.


CapnPlaty: He didn't mention this on his Twitter feed

Ummm... he'd be immediately fired?

How'd she know it was cocaine?
