0051 - Fuck You Friday
Added 2024-02-16 18:00:03 +0000 UTCWhat's one unsettling or otherwise noteworthy detail you've discovered in an Airbnb? I once opened a jar of shampoo and caught Hugh Laurie's limp from House.

I stayed in an Air B&B for the Portland, OR Chochachocon many many years ago. It had no AC and Portland was having the hottest weather in years that weekend.

2024-05-31 17:33:16 +0000 UTCDuring a three month period of house hunting in 2017, I demonstrated the commute and lifestyle by spending a week in the cheapest AirBnBs available in every town I was interested in. Average price significantly under $100 per night. Every single stay was a story, and all of those stories are pretty good. AirBnBs at the high end tends to be amazing, and also at the low end. Anything in the middle is disappointing.

2024-03-26 20:17:16 +0000 UTCWhile staying at an AirBnB, a small dog training treat must have fallen from the interstices of my suitcase, backpack, or handbag. Days later, the AirBnB "hostess" contacted me to accuse me of bringing a dog to the place and threatened to "report me" etc. I had to provide receipts from the facility where I boarded my dog that weekend to get her to back off. Unpleasant

2024-03-08 14:53:05 +0000 UTCMy wife and I got one in San Diego for three nights. It was in these people’s back garden and there were bugs in every little place you looked. I could sit outside and look for a specific bug until I found it. Praying mantis under the talavera fish, ladybug on the kid’s swing with the weeds growing up through the bottom of it, and so on. I recall an itchy saltillo blanket. One night after a game of gin rummy I filled up a glass with water and slugged it down. It became clear that there was something alive and struggling frantically in my mouth. I spat out the biggest daddy long legs, man

2024-02-23 02:22:20 +0000 UTCI would still stay subscribed even if it was only Fuck You Fridays every week. "I once opened a jar of shampoo and caught Hugh Laurie's limp from House" is some primo alt-text.

2024-02-20 04:16:33 +0000 UTCWelcome to our AirBNB! Here's a few simple rules to ensure your stay goes smoothly: 1) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MENTION TO ANY OTHER PERSON YOU ENCOUNTER THAT YOU ARE STAYING IN AN AIRBNB IN FACT JUST DON'T EVEN SAY THE WORD AIRBNB ANYWHERE WITHIN 500 FEET OF THE PROPERTY 2) Take out the trash to the cans in front of the garage at the end of your stay. Enjoy your home away from home!

2024-02-17 17:51:03 +0000 UTCHalloween 2022 I attempted to get an airbnb. As I was driving to the town it's in, the guy just texted me saying that actually he wasn't going to do it after all (it was his first time letting a room on Airbnb.). And then no further communication. He hadn't cancelled it officially on the app, so the useless goons on the phone wouldn't return my money or book me an alternative. But at the same time I didn't have a key or address so I had nowhere to go. So I basically just had to drive home again. Ruined my night. Fortunate I wasn't getting a train.

2024-02-17 05:30:18 +0000 UTCI've stayed in 5 different AirBnBs and they ranged from fine to really nice. We've been lucky! Haven't stayed in one since 2020 - not sure if it's worth it anymore.

2024-02-16 23:34:48 +0000 UTCThe host was very hospitable, but the bed was too small. At that point the host attempted to cut my legs off to fit the bed, but I forced him into his own bed and cut his head and legs off. They offered me 10% off my next stay. —Theseus, guest at the first recorded AirBnB

2024-02-16 23:30:26 +0000 UTCYou should have stayed at the Lewis & Clark, a charmingly piece of shit motel with an eye-searingly bright neon sign and a lobby that's constantly full of free cookies and wine.

2024-02-16 22:26:35 +0000 UTCOne time, the outdoor hot tub, which was the reason we chose the place, had not been cleaned since the last guests, so when we turned it on, it immediately became frothy with skin cells and people oils, like it was a big vat of Boy Soup.

2024-02-16 21:18:20 +0000 UTCOne in Bozeman Montana had a fully carpeted room that was both a kitchen and bathroom, called the “Bitchin” in the welcome materials. The toilet was not behind a door or walls.

2024-02-16 20:42:17 +0000 UTCBefore it became really expensive, Airbnb was fun. Once, I found a 19th century farmhouse in North Carolina that was being run as an organic farm. It was in the mountains, chill people were there, and it was only about 50 feet off the Blue Ridge parkway. I miss stuff like that.

2024-02-16 18:57:10 +0000 UTCOh Molly honey, no. Do not. It will destroy everything you've worked so hard to achieve. I personally have never stayed in a BnB, air or otherwise. I have skimmed listings though and they seem devilishly deceptive.

2024-02-16 18:52:05 +0000 UTCStayed in one where the hot water and Internet went out when the neighbor moved out and shut off their power. Then a terrified bird appeared suddenly in our bedroom at 5am. We were offered 10% off our next stay there as compensation.
Hunter Tammaro
2024-02-16 18:51:56 +0000 UTCTechnically not really an AirBnB as it was apartments for sale that were also being rented out as vacation spots. The bathroom was an L shape, the door was at the corner point. One end took you to the boiler and the toilet and the other was a curtainless shower so you also had to make sure your towel didn't get wet. It was also advertised as having a beach view but in order to see the beach you had to hang out the window. When we got there we had to call the owners, they just showed up in a car and without introducing themselves immediately started taking the luggage.

2024-02-16 18:50:50 +0000 UTCIt somehow feels perfectly in character for Beef to call it an "Air B and B." I can hear his cadence just reading it.

2024-02-16 18:45:00 +0000 UTCI stayed in a place where you could not flush toilet paper down the toilet. You were supposed put it in little Ziplock baggies after you used it and leave them in the trash can.

2024-02-16 18:07:12 +0000 UTCA bathroom with no shower pan, I thought the floor might have been cleverly angled so that the water drained properly. Nope—water just got all over the floor. Maybe that’s why the bathroom door was locked from the outside?
