Today, I walked into a really fancy hotel bathroom. I spoke to the attendant and gave her my purse and coat while I used the toilet. When I came out, she was gone. The receptionist informed me they didn't have a bathroom attendant. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked into my hotel room, took off my coat and started unpacking. Ten minutes later, an older couple walked in, holding luggage. I'd gone into THEIR room. The receptionist gave me the wrong fob. They were surprisingly calm, but I had to explain why I’d already used one of their towels. 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, at a fancy restaurant, I walked into the restroom. After washing my hands, I looked up and noticed the urinals and the sudden presence of three very confused men. I had walked into the men’s bathroom. I pretended to check my phone like I was lost. FML
Today, I walked into a restroom at a restaurant, took one step inside, and realized it was the staff-only restroom. The manager was inside, staring at me like I was an alien. I just smiled and awkwardly walked out. FML
Today, I went to a very nice reception at a hotel. I glanced inside the ballroom and saw that no one else was in there and, not wanting to be the first one there, I walked past and into the stairway. Turns out, I had walked into the emergency exit stairs and had to set off the alarm to get out. FML
Today, I waited for the single bathroom for a very long time. I finally knocked on the door and found no one was in there. FML
Today, I used a public bathroom. I hung my purse up on the hook on the door. Two minutes later, a hand reaches over the door and steals my purse. I got robbed while taking a crap. FML
Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML
Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML
Today, I had to use the bathroom really badly in a drug store. After I did a #2, just as I realized the handle on the toilet was broken, a knock came at the door. I tried fixing it for ten minutes, before slipping out the door, to come face to face with two employees coming to fix the toilet. FML

Even if they did have one...why give your things to anyone? YDI just take it with you and hang them on the hook on the bathroom door.

I never trust that, maybe I don't trust people in general but I'm not okay with the idea of handing my expensive things to a stranger and assuming they'll give them back.

That's good advice, but does anyone actually do that?

But that would be too easy.

I've been to a few places with restroom attendants. They're there to help with mints, towels, gum, perfume, and the like, not to hold your stuff, OP. If the bathroom gets busy the poor woman would look like a coat rack.

OP sounds kinda snooty to me

What do you mean hang them on the hook? like a ... a POOR person!!!???!!! *shaking my head* some people today. Cmon!

Even if you hang your stuff there it can still get stolen...like the one FML where someone was taking a crap and their purse got stolen from that hook.

I agree. With how many people have stolen from my family, I don't trust anyone. My father lost his phone because someone asked to use it to make a call. Now, when people ask to borrow my phone, I say I am going to make the call for them, they can tell me what they need said.

I either tell them I don't have one, or make sure their in a place they can't escape unless I let them. A great spot is if they have the window seat and you have the aisle seat on the bus

Or put on speaker and hold it tightly in your hand.

oh that's gutting. I can see your mistake add you said it was a posh hotel, so having a bathroom statement wasn't a shock... the staff should've been keeping an eye to who was loitering around their bathrooms really.... sorry to hear that OP. hope you got police involved and managed to get your stuff back x

I work in a hotel, though. Not an expensive one or anything, but I know that if they were hanging around in the bathrooms, it would be difficult for any of us to realize it unless they were in there more than once when we used the restroom. I have a ton to do when I'm working any shift but the overnight, so I can only imagine what working for a pricier hotel would be like.

The more money people spend, the more they want to be treated like royalty. I worked in a friend's parent's hotel for a summer. I was yelled at, had food dumped on me, was told I was a ******* ****, etc. We had no time to go around checking out the bathrooms, especially during the day.

I think I might just have to try that.....

Haha and then just say that they gave it to you no questions asked.

If you do don't be a huge thief and take the whole wallet with the cards and things. Just take the cash cause you can't use a card w/o the pin anyway.
