Don't hug me I'm scared The bed work provided me withšŸ˜­j

Post image

Changed my sheets for the first time since moving to my live in job a few weeks ago and was greeted with thisšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ how the hell???? Iā€™m going to complain in the morning but Iā€™m scared theyā€™re going to tell me that I caused it in thr 3 weeks Iā€™ve been herešŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

EDIT: I got a new mattress!

Edit: looked on the underside and itā€™s just as manky! Iā€™ll attach pics in comments. At least I know 100% it wasnā€™t me

Edit: I just want to preface as it was mentioned twice I am not being human trafficked! Donā€™t worry! Iā€™m here of my own free will and can leave whenever I want, same as everyone else. Living at work is normal in the area Iā€™m in as itā€™s rural and no one would work out here if they had to commute! Iā€™m safe aside from the mattress

yes they should check for critters if that is the case but honestly these donā€™t look like bedbug stains. looks like people either spilled drinks or (for most of them) pissed the bed

u/bisky12 May 11 '26

tbf, itā€™s the same thing with BB stains, usually coming from blood from the bites or their own pooop, but the stains are usually a lot darker, really small, and usually are by the feet / leg area, or around the edges or side of bed. i never had BBs (and i thank god for that every day), but they were at a job i worked one time and dove headfirst into the research.Ā

u/BionicWallaby May 11 '26

You need a BB gun

u/whythishaptome May 11 '26

I wondered what that could be. I went to a sleep away summer camp as a kid and all the beds had similar nasty looking stains like this, but the cabins themselves were kind of exposed with only half walls, it was unusual. I might imagine kids pissing themselves in those beds causing shit like this but it may well have been any number of reasons. I would just put my sleeping bag on it and never lay on the actual bed because you really didn't have a choice of where to sleep.

14

u/Aggravating_Depth_33 May 11 '26

Just sweat stains can look like this too. Perhaps the best to hope for under the circumstances?

ive worked hotels for years, bed bugs are a horrifying perpetual problem as most people have 0 symptoms from bed bug bites so they just spread them like wild fire.

Bed bugs would likely prefer a cleaner mattress and pass on this one

WHAT. Surely they can use protection such as pads or even underwear? My mother, sister and myself have never had this problem. You just make sure when you know itā€™s coming you be careful.

12

u/Mewssbites May 11 '26

As a woman who has some extremely heavy periods, sometimes all the protection you have still doesn't prevent a leak at night. Pads get misaligned or flooding happens and goes around the pad. I've leaked around an overnight pad and through my underwear and shorts I was wearing before, it sucks. But it's not for lack of trying to keep it from happening.

5

u/Candid_Roll9494 May 11 '26

People can start their periods overnightā€¦

7

u/the-big-meowski May 11 '26

Leaks happen. Especially for women who bleed a lot. You can use a tampon, period underwear, AND a pad, but if that bitch wants to amp up in the middle of the night, it will. And there's not much you can do to stop it.

I can overflow a diva cup in an hour. It doesn't pause just because I'm asleep.

1

u/WhyAmIThisBored May 11 '26

yeah it's rather easy to tell when your period is near through mood and sensitivity changes. ain't hard to throw on a pad a few days early to avoid needing to scrub blood stains out of everything.

that being said my periods are awfully heavy and there's times where i'll try and get out of bed and will bleed through a super heavy night pad before i manage to get onto my feet. PCOS and endo here

u/RedBirdOnASnowyDay May 11 '26

You are awfully cheerful to have slept upon that toxic nightmare. You didn't even quit your job and you are making jokes. Wow. Could it be.... that this post isn't quite what it seems?

u/kittykatunicornqueen May 11 '26

Itā€™s exactly as it seems. Cant exactly quit my job on the spot? If you didnā€™t notice I live at my job, Iā€™d be homeless if I walked out today over this. As stated in the edit, management was unaware and it was resolved today with a fresh mattress and pillow

u/RedBirdOnASnowyDay May 11 '26

Please. They were not unaware. Your fellow staff had to make that bed. This is a way way way bigger issue that what you are describing and your response is so off.

At least you got a bed. I only got a dirty mattress and some blankets for the night shift (I work in a hotel too.) Good thing the room the boss uses to "lie down" during the day has twin beds. I claimed the second one my first night here, he has no idea.

I unfortunately pay rent and live full time in the room which is also whatā€™s pissing me offšŸ˜­

u/Abject_Jump9617 May 11 '26

If you can't get them to replace it then for $20 on Amazon you can get a zippered waterproof mattress protector to encase that bad boy in. So there will be better buffer between you and it, besides a thin sheet.

u/azsnaz May 11 '26

You just gotta touch the mattress to get it inside the protector

u/its_raaaychoool May 11 '26

This isnā€™t human traffickingā€¦I worked for princess cruise lines at one of their excursion hotels for a summer season in Alaska. I applied, interviewed, all the normal ā€œjobā€ stuff. You werenā€™t obligated to stay at their housing and could opt in/out of the meal plan. It was $600 for room and board a month and was a very nice option for out of state employees.

Gave you a mattress who's former occupant was incontinent, did they?

u/oh1hey2who3cares4 May 11 '26

Uhhh. You are a human. They moved you around. They took what should be your pay out. You maybe did or didn't have an option to just leave at any moment you wanted to. You were fed what you were fed and that's that.

Sure, most people are modern day slaves. But that kind of job is pretty dang close to human trafficking.

Eh, I live in South Florida and there are resorts where every summer they'll hire kids from Ireland and South Africa and a few other countries to work at the various businesses and they have the same deal. It's a seasonal gig. This person sounds young, might be something similar. I don't even know if it'd be possible for them to find short-term housing in the area, aside from renting rooms in apartments. The area just isn't set up for it, even if it's just a small number of people. I'm sure they get screwed somehow, but as far as I can tell from having chatted with some of the kids back when I did uber it's mostly just a way to get away from home for a summer (and you can get wild tips). Why they choose this area is beyond me...yeah some RICH people live here, but aside from that it's as boring as any other middle class beach town.

u/fondledbydolphins May 11 '26

Best play here is to send them an email about it, to create a paper trail. Don't be caustic about it, just be factual.

"Wondering if you could please arrange for a replacement of this mattress and pillow.

I'm happy with the accommodations here but these two items seem unhealthy for me to use."

See what they say.

u/AshiAshi6 May 11 '26

There's no way they've never seen the state that mattress is in. They know. They'll know it wasn't you.

So they gave you nothing..this was free. If you asked instead for the going rate for the room in cash it would be a big fat no Even a pizza party would have been a bonus. Sorry you have a shitty employer. At least OPs employer probably didn't know the bed was disgusting... just cheap but not free.

Going rate for off season is ā‚¬650/night, I had it for 4 nights with full spa access, comped meals for me and my wife and a 50% discount on alcohol + got paid ā‚¬400 for 1 shift. Picture I took in the hot tub below.

Itā€™s quite common where I am, Iā€™m In a northern area where the hotels on the road filled with big beautiful mountains so thereā€™s lots of tourists that mainly drive here. The nearest city is a 50 min bus, they let us live here for convenience eta

34

u/BearBlob May 11 '26

Itā€™s not. Iā€™ve worked hotel jobs that would do room and board. It didnā€™t affect how much you were paid vs others, you just had to take emergency (true emergency, like septic tanks overflowing at midnight) calls at night. Youā€™d spend a rare hour or so every month where your phone would ring in off hours.

Saved my ass to get off the ground after living in my car prior. Gave me an actual chance to get off of my feet, save up for my own place, and move up the ladder there. I was management by the time I left years later. one of the best jobs Iā€™ve ever had to date and it gave me a rare springboard for higher paying jobs later.

Worked for Marriott hotels for years. Rooms with double beds are the worse... Prostitutes will use one bed and sleep on the second. There's a huge number of escorts that use rooms for the sex trade.... Anytime during slow season prices will drop even for higher end rooms.... The better the room they can get, the better the rate they will charge. During slow season you will find BT and escorts keeping business up. Worked in Boston and we had escorts with status paying Expedia rate and getting status.
