So my wife and I are staying at a nice hotel in Old Montreal this week.
Our room has one of those jet tubs, and tonight she went to take a bath. She fills it up, hits the button… nothing. No jets. No sound. No click. Just a sad, expensive, oversized bowl of warm water.
She calls me in because “you’re the engineer, figure it out” (which is always how this starts). I check the button, the panel, the tub -nothing. So I think maybe the GFCI tripped? Maybe it’s unplugged? The access panel is hidden behind this little corner shelf, so I carefully lift it to peek behind......and immediately regretted every decision that led me to that moment.
The tub motor was unplugged (intentionally?) and right next to it was a very, uhhhh... personal item someone had clearly left behind.
Not like “dropped behind the bed and forgotten.”
More like “this was intentionally stashed here during a previous stay and absolutely should never have been rediscovered.”
I mean the size of this thing gave me anxiety lol
We let the front desk know very politely, because this definitely wasn’t the fault of the staff. They were actually super professional about it - apologized, sent someone up immediately, handled everything, and even comped a few amenities for the trouble.
But man…wtf
I was just trying to fix the jets lol
TL;DR: Wife tried to take a bath, jets didn’t work, I checked behind the access panel and found the tub unplugged… and a forgotten adult artifact someone left next to the motor. Hotel handled it great, my desire to DIY bathtub repairs is permanently gone.
But was the stashing it there that caused the tub to get disconnected? Did the tub work after that? What color was the device? What length and girth? Passive or battery operated? If battery operated, how many and which work modes?
God, so many questions!!!
Just contact the hotel if you lost it
Nah, he's not lost it he's just trying to score a free second hand hot tub clim(ax) machine.
How else will he claim it if he can't describe it?
Hey, you guys find a double ended spring loaded elephant trunk dildo with 8 vibrating actions mounted on a tripod?
Red?
Oh, sorry, no mine is blue.
I'd say it was about 3/4 of a "yeehaw" or about 8.75" American.
Probably a 4 incher in terms of diameter
Yaw/pitch were negligible.
I think they call that color peach pink.
I myself didnt have balls half the size of this guy so idk if it took batteries.
Lol. I’ve not seen ones wider than 2, a knot maybe (so shorter), unless they were some top tier custom order or Bad Dragon-esque (so probably not a fleshy).
I was replying quickly and not thinking. I meant circumference.
God lort 4" diameter would be "nuts"
I think your estimate is off there. The average circumference for men is around 4.5 inches. It's pretty in line with a lot of normal sized dildos.
Unless you were thinking of a RADIUS of 4 inches, which would probably kill someone.
🤣 I have no idea what the circumstanc was. Big but not stupid I guess
They make some comically thick human dildos lol
Did not expect you to actually reply to those questions I'm laughing so hard right now thank you for that
😂 glad yall got laughs out of it!
Yeegads. The weight of that amount of silicone alone....
It is vital that the object inside the cylinder doesnt get harmed
This was a confusing question when I first read the story because I was under the assumption the person item was referring to a turd. Your theory did make more sense upon rereading though lol.
omg yes like same i’m dying to know all the specs too, this mystery has me spiraling but also lowkey fascinated lol
The cylinder was of above average length and girth and remained unharmed.
There was no larger structure attached to it.
Disconnect the tub motor so someone has to open the panel to fix it, leave the monster "item" as a jump scare.
Ha! That’s a full-on investigation right there. I see you came prepared!
Wife tries to spice things up and hides a new toy exactly where she's sending you to look
Husband: Oh Lawd get that outta here!
🤣 she is not that subtle, and I pull so many pranks on her that it took me several minutes to convince her it was there!
Omg dude I would’ve lost it for real that’s a whole new level of “wtf did I just touch”
Settle down buddy, it's just a fire extinguisher.
They call me the Fireman, that's my name!
Well what was it? Massive dildo? Horribly shit pants? I can’t bare the suspense
Massive dildo with what appeared to be lube still on it. Cant post a picture unfortunately lol
Your wife stashed it there for you to find pulling the engineer trick on you. But she didn’t say anything after she got embarrassed from your reaction
Direct quote from my wife:
"I've been accused of a lot things in my life, but being subtle or embarrassed ain't any of em."
I was hoping horribly shit pants. But the dildo is probably less trip ruining
I don't understand. Are you so fragile that just the sight of a sex toy short circuits your brain? Where is the FU? Its not like you grabbed it, used it, and got an STD.
If this was my friend group this would probably be a never ending meme brought up opening any cupboard and the toy probably would get bigger and bigger with every retelling of the meme's origin.
I hate that adults cannot even say words like dildo. This isn’t a fuck up, he fixed the tub. Jesus, even seeing a dildo is too much for his virgin eyes
Yall are so off base lol go touch grass
It was a dildo? I don't understand why you even needed to call the hotel? Not like it was left under your bed sheets .Though it was most definitely used there in addition to touching every other surface in your room. Hell, the remote was probably touched afterwards and not wiped clean after that evening
In a very nice, very expensive hotel suite room, a clearly used, uncleaned dildo behind a jacuzzi tub next to to the unplugged cord for said jacuzzi tub, that was non functioning, meaning housekeeping isn't cleaning them properly or even bothering to test them in one of their best rooms?
What planet are you from? Of course I went to the front desk lol
My god I'd hate to see yalls homes if yall think this is ok or normal in anything other than a roadside motel
We're from the planet where the mere sight of a sex toy doesn't cause anxiety. No on is saying it isn't gross for it to be there, but we're in a subreddit about personal fuck ups. This isn't a fuck up.
The tell the mods to take it down. Oh they didnt. Sounds like youre wrong 🤣
Not everyone is comfortable with touching a stranger’s used sex toys with visible mildewy bodily fluids. Some of us are completely satisfied with vanilla sex in the jacuzzi with our wife, but I’m not here to yuck on your yum
Who said touching? Dude opened a panel, saw a unplugged thing and a sex toy. That's it, no touching involve. Remember that for liability-sake he had to call the desk to get them to plug it in rather than do it himself (or is that why he called it in because he might get his hand close to it?) Yet now he's got PTSD because he saw a toy. ./shrug
Never ever ever use one of these until you have filled it and dumped in excessive chlorine then run the pump for a bit.
They are neverf properly cleaned and in my experience the pipes are never installed to self-drain when not in use. Imagine months of stagnant water washing out into the bath.
If I am wrong about this, someone please let me know. Accommodation spas creep me out.
You're very much right, there are safer versions that only blow air through the jets but most hotels have the water filled ones because the air jets are not as satisfying as the jets that mix water and air.
I have an air tub in my house. We need to flush it out periodically if any soaps are used in it, even when just soaking.
I fill it to the level the pump can be turned on then add 2L of bleach. Run it for 10 mins and leave it over night. All good.
I’ve cleaned ours with 1 cup of dishwasher powder and hot water. I used to use white vinegar, but worried about the acidity over time.
Okay but did you get the jacuzzi tub working
It says in the post “the tub motor was unplugged”, so I assume it was just a matter of plugging it back in.
Yeah. I wouldn't want to get in that tub without running the jets, then draining it again, and filling again. Who knows what type of shit infested water is trapped in those tubes. That dildo was probably not for vaginal use.
You fucked up by using a jacuzzi tub in a hotel room. Those things are not cleaned properly. You're just making bacteria soup
Someone unplugged the tub and stashed it as a prank for when maintenance came to fix it.
So did you fix it or what?
Thank you! Goodness, no closure on if wifey got to have her jacuzzi bath!
It just needed to be plugged in but we were so grossed out that she didnt get a jacuzzi bath lol. I'll just take her for a spa day instead
You didn’t FU. You found out there was more DNA in that tub than you wanted.
That sounds like a horrible idea. If you would have turned that on, I bet it would have shot mold out of every spout.
TIFI (today I fixed it)
you went to fix the jacuzzi jets and found someone’s monster dildo chilling next to the motor like it was on vacation too 😭 lowkey the real MVP is the cleaning crew for not quitting on the spot, you still taking baths there or switching to showers for life fr??
Yeah fuck using that tub or any hotel tub I havent personally disinfected now lol
‘Handled everything’… I bet they did.
🤣 the highest ranking night employee came in and got it with gloves while wearing a pants suit. I told her I was sorry she had to do that. Fucking awful. She said something like "I mean this does happen but usually house keeping gets them"
Bruh, this is wild. Honestly, hotels gotta step up their game with deep cleans and checks. Like, unplugging the motor AND leaving a personal stash back there? Nah, that’s just gross and disrespectful. Imagine stumbling on that mid-fix. I don’t blame you for the anxiety lol. Definitely not the engineer’s fault, but damn, this definitely kills the vibe of a “nice hotel.”
Yeah for the price, knowing for sure that house keeping isn't cleaning the tub jets, isnt verifying things work in the rooms, isnt fully cleaning one of like the 2 most important things in the room etc., all very bad
Plot twist: the jets weren’t broken, they just didn’t want to work under those conditions.
I think you need to advise your wife that you deal more with silicon and not silicone.
i am disturbed by what may have taken place in that tub previously lol
Seriously, you guys used it. You know you did. You can tell us about it.
The horror of accidentally fixing other people's mistakes...
You went in to fix the jets and instead discovered something that should’ve stayed sealed away forever. True TIFU energy right there.
You sound like a bot.
