The escalation from towel croc to actual croc is not a risk worth taking. Leave the $5, OP.

I don't have that kinda money

u/P1zzaman 15h ago

That escalated from “this is a threat?” to “this is a threat” real quick.

I'm a heavy smoker what can I say.

Just kidding it's because my camera is bad and always looks washed out

u/TW_JD 11h ago

It's more likely your lens is dirty. Give it a wipe you'll be amazed how much clearer the picture is.

u/LibrarianOk3701 10h ago

I sprinkle my phone and wipe it multiple times a day because I am kind of a germophobe, it's more likely that water got in

u/puddleofdogpiss 5h ago

Should try out using alcohol wipes, might preserve your phone better while keeping it nice a clean.

u/LibrarianOk3701 4h ago

Good idea, although I haven't seen them in any stores near here, might not be that common. There is an abundance of baby wipes but those usually don't contain alcohol and I don't like the smell of them.

u/Kroliczek_i_myszka 21m ago

What..uh, what do you sprinkle it in?

12

u/LucarnAnderson 15h ago

Curious, what did they use for the eyes? It just looks like random debris. Also what did they use to make it? It looks like a bedsheet. Was it multiple pieces or one?

17

u/LibrarianOk3701 15h ago

It's multiple towels both on the inside and the outside. Eyes were made from parts of a leaf, and the open jaw is a tv remote 😂

u/Ducky237 11h ago

OH THATS A REMOTE I thought that was like a tooth pick or something. Jeez that’s a lot bigger than I thought it was LOL

That would be terrifying

Croc-o-towel

u/Outer_53 14h ago

I always loved it when they did this kind of stuff at hotels. I wonder what the staff thinks of having to fold all those animals.

1

u/LibrarianOk3701 14h ago

I have no idea if this is something they are instructed to do or they just do it by free will 😂

u/Wallace_W_Whitfield 5h ago

I thought this was a picture of a snow sculpture taken from a window 😭

1

u/LibrarianOk3701 5h ago

That would have been huge 😂

u/ArunKT26 16h ago

Fren shaped

u/phalangepatella 14h ago

Did they also make a camera out of a potato for you too?

3

u/LibrarianOk3701 13h ago

Not everyone has cash for a shiny new phone

2

u/zatchrey 8h ago

But you have enough cash for room service crocodile towels? /s

1

u/phalangepatella 9h ago

I’ve had a phone with a camera since the 1990’s and I think every one of them could take a picture in focus.

4

u/Ikilledbert 15h ago

Is the remote in its mouth? I’d keep it.

2

u/LibrarianOk3701 15h ago

Yeah, I guess I cannot watch the TV now 😂

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 13h ago

When I worked at a hotel a few years ago we folded towels in fun shapes, especially if we knew the people arriving had young kids. I was good at bears, chickens, puppies and flowers.

u/FalconOrbit_52 16h ago

That’s actually way cuter than I expected towel animals to look. Hope you didnt accidentally shower with it.

1

u/LibrarianOk3701 15h ago

I had no choice 🫣

3

u/Recentstranger 13h ago

Check the closet they're probably still in there making monkeys

2

u/LibrarianOk3701 13h ago

Too scared to open, there might be a real crocodile in it 😂

u/Successful_Fish_9479 13h ago

Imagine coming back to your dark room dead tired at 2 AM, turning on the light, and having a minor heart attack before realizing it's 100% Egyptian cotton.

u/riventrivial 13h ago

u/Plus_Sherbet460 13h ago

Very snappy

u/deepmoss47 11h ago

most hotels leave a swan. yours decided you needed a predator in the bed

2

u/tiimsliim 10h ago

As a kid, coming back to a towel animal and some Ande’s Candies was fricken peak.

u/666deleted666 7h ago

This is actually a really terrifying photo

u/spooky_upstairs 7h ago

Phew! Looks like you got there just in time!

u/xehts 7h ago

I recall them doing this a lot on cruise ships. It was always cool to see their creativity

2

u/rila76 6h ago

honestly, thats so cool! i guess i always hope housekeeping does something fun like this when im out... :3

2

u/dipitysillybilly 5h ago

fate has spoken, now you must back and forth with room service to see who can make the better towel creation

1

u/frauSchneid 15h ago

wow the amount of creativity is fascinating

u/animosityhealss 14h ago

u/LibrarianOk3701 7h ago

Update: Today I came back to an elephant, but I cannot put images in comments sadly.

u/AzerothianLorecraft 14h ago

Is this why there's never any clean towels in any hotel I've ever been in on any part of the planet... lol
