This flips me out!!

[KCMiller]

Also, last year we went back to the room after breakfast to pick up the camera bag before going to the parks. When DH walked in, the maid was using the bathroom (#2 and the room smelled) . I don't know who was more embarrassed, DH or the maid. I prefer not having someone come into our room. I don't mind hanging towels to dry, it's not that big of an inconvenience for me UNLIKE waiting for the maid to finish "her business".

OK, I am VERY openminded, but I would be at the front desk like a SHOT if this happened to me. Am I crazy, or is this totally unacceptable??

What would I want? For starters, the Mousekeeping manager to clean my room over again. A strong apology. And at the very least a warning to the mousekeeper who knows perfectly well where the employee restroom is.

My feeling is, if they are in there 'using the facilities', what's to keep them from using my soap? My hairbrush?? My makeup?? My BED????

<<<<shiver of disgust>>>>>

I doubt they will use your hairbrush or use your own soap (remember they have their own mickey soap ) or use your toothbrush or use your make up or lay in your bed.

I think she needed to go so bad that she had to use the bathroom and she may not make it to the employees bathroom. I am sure she would havel cleaned the toilet again. I am sure she was embarrassed for using the toilet, but what can she do? She's there, she needed to use it bad, the toilet is available.

I would just want an apology from the mousekeeper and tell her that you want the toilet recleaned if she hasn't done so.

No big deal... My trip will not be ruined over this. As long as she recleans the bathroom after her.. I have no problem with that. I wouldn't report her. Things happen. She is only human. We all gotta boo-boo sometimes... and sometimes, it just hits us like crazy! And there's not one minute where it can wait.. When you gotta go... you gotta go!

She probably used it before she was about to clean it so I don't see a big deal here. What about the 1000's of guests that used it already anyway and there are way bigger things for you to worry about...like whats in the bed that you can't see.

She probably used as a NECESSITY. NOT a convince.

I agree! I mean, ok, it would be a little embarrassing to walk into your room and find the mousekeeper on the toilet, but if it's embarrassing to you, imagine how embarrassed the poor mousekeeper must be! Other than that, it would be no big deal to me. I figure there's been a lot of butts other than mine on that toilet and a lot of poops other than mine in that toilet...what's one more?

This would be no biggie for me. A bit embarrassing, but nothing to get in an uproar over.

 

[travelitis]

Big Deal! She went to the restroom. Everybody does. When you came back later was it clean and fresh smelling? If so, I don't see the infraction. She has to be in your room to clean it, so she has access to all your toiletries (like she'd really want to use them - NOT!). I'd bet she was really embarrassed, and I'd feel sorry for her rather than being angry at her daring to use a toilet she has to scrub daily. This is Much Ado About Nothing in my book.

So true.. what's another poop! Besides.. did you see her poop? Hope not! Now that would be so disgusting?!! I think I would have a little problem with that!

Sorry, if someone is so ill that they have to drop on the nearest potty, they shouldn't be at work. And I don't want anyone using my hotel room while I'm out. Cleaning it, fine, but not using it, and we've all read other posts on this thread about mousekeeping using the rooms for other things. I find it rude, vulgar, and totally unprofessional.

But how cool, my first total flame thread !

Y'all are much better people than I, truly - I'd make a bigger stink that she did, and not think twice about it.

Wow, very embarrassing, but she may have just gotten "sick"! Stuff like that happens. Try switching places. What if it happened to you somewhere, it happened to someone I know in the middle of a traffic jam, he had to leave the car and go in a nearby field!!!!!!!!!!!! Just try to be a little understanding, it could be you someday.

Have you seriously never been stricken with a "sense of urgency", done your business, and then felt absolutely fine? How lucky for you!

What on earth could you actually say to the Manager?? The maid used the washroom. Big deal. If you complain about something so ridiculous, I hope you check out, because I don't even want to think about what they will do in your room after that!

Really? So because someone might have a chronicdisease -- like Krohn's Disease or IBS -- that is generally controllable, but ocassionally flares up unexpectedly, that person should never go to work because they might have a sudden need to use the very nearest toilet.

Excellent -- then under your standards, I no longer have to work. Want to pay me to stay home?

 

[kutchyone]

All I have to say is please! This is ridiculous. So she used the bathroom. I don't care if it was out of necessity or convenience; so she used the john, big deal!

 

[Nini]

view that some are taking that she might have been "sick" or have a "disease". Buuuuutttttt....I do NOT feel sorry for the mousekeeper that used the PAID FOR room! She should have made her way to an employee restroom when feeling the "urge" come on. I mean REALLY!!!!

It was totally inappropriate and gross!!! I would report it to the manager and request my room cleaned AGAIN. If she was ill, she should not have been doing what she was doing...besides, we all know when we "have to go"...we are adults NOT children. If she has a "disease" that would make her have to relieve herself at indeterminable times, then WDW should make the necessary adjustments to her needs...NOT PAYING GUESTS!

Sorry, just had to put my 2 cents in too!!!

I think I would have gotten in touch with the head housekeeper, or with a manager, and said something along the lines of: "I don't want to get anybody in trouble, but it should really be pointed out to the housekeepers that they should not use the bathrooms in the guest rooms except in great emergency." I'd not give my name or make any accusations. It is possible that the housekeeper didn't know it was wrong.

I had a similar problem with a maid entering my room, in a hotel in New Jersey, without knocking. I complained to the head housekeeper then. Unfortunately she either didn't carry through on my suggestion to have a talk with the maids, or the maid ignored her, because it happened again. Fortunately at that time we were leaving. It was one of several reasons I never returned to that hotel.

 

[Mickeyistheman]

Come on, even if the woman wasn't sick and she just had to go. The resorts are quite big in WDW (if you didn't know that) so she might not have been able to make it to the nearest employee or public restroom.

I do understand the embarresment walking in on them but I really think that gonig to the manager is overreating just a bit.

I won't say that this never happens or couldn't happen but I have to call B.S. on a lot of these posts like this (the one you quoted). Unfortunately some like to post things to get a rise out of people. Even if true don't let a one out of a thousand experience ruin your trip!

[GoofieRuthie]

but I must say that is had me I guess I just have a sick sense of humor, but that would be a hilarious story to tell for many years to come. "How is the mousekeeping at WDW?" "Well, it STINKS, to say the least!"

In all honesty, I wouldn't be mad at all. I would be a little weirded out and embarassed at first, but hey, if I was the mousekeeper and I had to go, why run a mile to another one, when there is a perfectly good potty right there and I have all the stuff to clean it afterward.?
