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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Was the person wearing a name tag? If yes then FYL if not YDI. That the easy was to tell if the work there or not. Every employee at any hotel has to wear one bottom line.

i know that the hotel chain i work for enforces the wearing of badges and we are quite a large chain hotel. tbh i thought all businesses that dealt with customers face to face had to wear badges.

I have yet to see any standard pub that isn't a restaurant aswell have staff with name badges. Country pubs especially. Plenty of small shops don't do it either.

Entitled bitch much?

If she's not selling you gum, bodyspray, candy, bobby pins, and doesn't have a very obvious tip jar, she doesn't work there. With that being said I've been to a lot of bathrooms with bathroom ladies, and never have they ever offered to hold my stuff.

OP didn't want her stuff to get flagged like the magazine in that episode of Seinfield.

Ok, have you ever been to a bathroom with an attendant before? It's not their job to hold your stuff. And, just to echo what everyone else is saying, if they didn't have a name tag, uniform and tip jar it should have been obvious that they weren't an employee.

What the hell is a bathroom attendant anyways?
WhiteCrimson 23
It's kinda odd that OP did not mention anything about uniform and yet everyone assumes that the person could have been wearing one. Well I'll say I thought so to. OP you kinda deserved it. 1 for being to lazy to keep your own stuff, 2 for trusting strangers with your valuables while you take a potty break. Yes potty break is what I meant to say. Que all the negative votes.
