No mobile check in; key cards always de-magnetizing; room service order always wrong;check in taking forever; elevator requiring room key swipe; unclean room; noisy radiator; no bottled water; wifi not working

like

Overly aggressive bell hops that just grab all my stuff and make me feel like I need to entertain them and then tip them. I don't need help, thank you. Sometimes I sneak in the back door of the hotel to avoid them.

Inaccessible plugs or not plugs near the bed. Especially in hotels that were obviously recently renovated. Like why wouldn't you add a crap ton of plugs near the bed in your remodel?

like

Telling me meaningless information when I'm checking in. A just want my damn key as fast as possible.

like

Bed bugs

like

When they make shapes out of the tissues in the tissue box. Like quit touching the tissues.

like

I hate when there isn't enough counter space in the bathroom. If you have females staying in your hotel, they will need some place to put their make up and no one wants to put it on top of the toilet.

like

Not having body wash and complete set of tolietries

like

When they use two flat sheets to make your bed and you have to remake the bed when you pull the top sheet free...

like

Inadequate air conditioning which they don't admit they have complete knowledge of and are not fixing.

like

No automatic email receipts morning of departure.

like

Another one: no water pressure in the shower. I'm a woman and it's a PITA to rinse conditioner out of my hair. And why don't hotels have shower wands so we can easily rinse - um - everywhere?

like

Painfully slow elevators.

like

@EY2 YES! "Would you like us to send that to your email address on file?" Yes. Yes. For the 1,000th time YES.

like

I hate when SPG says they'll email the folio to you but don't. This happens about 25% of the time. At least with Marriott you can login to your account and download the folio. But with SPG I actually have to call them and ask for the re-email.

like

Wait - you can download your receipt from Marriott.com? This changes everything.

like

When they restore the room to standard instead of leaving it the way *I* like it. I want my trash can where I want it. I don't want your marketing literature tucked in my bed every night.

like

Also, I hate when they give me a room at the end of hallways and having to walk a mile long hallway just to get there

like

No wifi, shitty tv's, noisy outside the room, and bad gyms.

like

Mobile check in is a farce. Saves no time and has even taken me longer to check in when I have done it. Plus, you are more likely to get a shittier room.

like

Loud couples next door.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
