Genuine question, is there a function to these objects which exist in most hotel rooms beyond A Thing To Chuck Your Clothes On Because It Feels Weird To Just Throw Them On The Floor?
ETA: thanks everyone, apparently you put your suitcase on it, unpack everything in the suitcase then put your dirty clothes in the suitcase??? Personally, I cut out the middleman and put the suitcase on the floor, live out of it, and chuck anything worn on there before shoving it back in the suitcase when I leave.
Furthermore, I usually travel with a couple of empty plastic bags, so anything dirty goes in the bags while the clean clothes can be free range in the suitcase when I leave. But apparently that's not normal, since hotel rooms provide wardrobes, a suitcase stand (?!) and no bags.
honestly this has pure blown my mind. SUITCASE STANDS! I usually just put mine on either the floor, desk or armchair
While I have you here, hotel room furniture understanders, why are there usually cushions on the bed? What are you meant to do with them when they are clearly not pillows and uncomfortable as pillows, and seem to serve no function on the bed?
ALSO, what does that thing that is like a blanket but very small and only goes across the foot of the bed do? Both this and the cushions usually join my suitcase on the floor.
@stavvers that's to protect the bedding from people who collapsed on top of the bed before they've taken their shoes off...
Have you reached the stage of the hotel room stay where you discover that turning all the lights off is a challenge to rival the finest escape rooms ? 21 lights, 8 switches, of which 2 appear to do nothing...
@quixoticgeek @stavvers I've been in three hotel rooms in the past year and they all had the amazing feature where you put your keycard in a thingy next to the door to activate the lights. So if you go out and take your card, áll the lights go out, and if you come back and put your card back in, the lights turn on in the exact same constellation as before!
