Miscellaneous: Today, my sister and I checked into our cheap hotel in Brussels...

By BuggedinBelgium - 24/09/2015 20:15

Today, my sister and I checked into our cheap hotel in Brussels as part of our month-long Europe trip. At 11pm we awoke to the sound of a mouse chewing through a bag of food we'd bought. At 3am we awoke to bedbugs. We slept in the bathroom. FML

Today, my sister and I got a room in the attic of an old hotel, while our parents got a room several floors down. We discovered the room was full of bugs. Our parents didn't believe us, so we brought them some as proof. They told us to get over it. We can't sleep. We've killed 50 and counting. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML

The odds

Today, my sister and I were sick of living with each other, so we'd decided to go on separate holidays. I get to my hotel, then an hour later she rocks up to the very same hotel to check in. She'd booked her holiday using a magazine she'd stolen from my room, and ended up in the exact same place. FML

Today, I was cleaning my room when I found a nice surprise from my cat. While I was on vacation, she killed a mouse. By the time I found it, there were maggots crawling in my carpet. FML

Bugging out

Today, while working the graveyard shift at my hotel, it felt a little chilly, so I grabbed a blanket out of the box we usually store old blankets in. Twenty minutes later, the live-in maintenance man casually remarked that those blankets are all infected with bed-bugs. FML

Today, I woke up to something crawling on my leg. Thinking it might be a spider, I jumped out frantically to check. The good news: it's not a spider. The bad news: it's a bedbug. My apartment was just treated for them. FML

Today, I checked into a hotel for a work trip. When I walked in, the sheets and bath mat were stained, and there was soap-encrusted hair stuck in my folded towel. When I got back later in the day, all my stuff was gone because they apparently thought I'd checked out. FML

Today, after being moved to three different employer-provided apartments because they all had mold and electrical problems, I requested a bigger bed. The bed they delivered had bedbugs. FML

Today, at around 12 a.m. I went to bed, happy that I get to sleep in because I had nowhere be in the morning. Sadly that came to an end when I woke up around 7 a.m. to my mom coming home and screaming because she saw a mouse. FML

You get what you pay for! Hotels in Europe are definitely more expensive, but the cheap ones are always cheap for a very good reason.

Mouse? Not bad. Bed bugs? The creatures of hell. Don't cheap out next time, OP. Bed bugs are hellacious.

You'd probably be better off staying at a hostel.

Get out at quickly as possible!!! Bedbugs can travel up to 50ft in one night. So the bathroom is still a danger zone for you both. After leaving wash all clothes in a laundromat on highest setting. And also make sure to clean out any luggage you brought there. Those things are a nightmare!!!

If your name is Johnny then I think my wife's cousin posted this FML.

My brother went to France on a Rotary Exchange trip, and he too encountered many bedbugs. Also, my family had a bedbug infestation when I was about 9 (I'm 14 now). If I can make it through, so can you! Good luck OP!!

Probably roaches in the bathroom.

You don't need to wash everything, but you should put all the clothes in the dryer (it's the heat that kills them, so just the dryer is enough) and wash your bags or suitcases as well to make sure you don't take the bugs with you.

How did you wake up to bed bugs? They hide and you can't feel their bites? Their whole deal is making sure you don't wake while they're feeding on you
