Flight Attendant Reveals Why You Should Put a Bottle of Water Under Your Hotel Bed
Numerous horror movies have taught us to always check under the bed. However, there’s always the fear of coming face-to-face with an intruder or monster. Recently, a flight attendant shared how you can use a water bottle to check under the hotel bed inconspicuously.
Reminder to Check Under Hotel Bed
Although horror movies are a popular genre for entertainment, no one wants to live out those scenes in real life. However, movies like Taken with Liam Neeson highlight the dangers tourists are vulnerable to. Particularly when traveling to another country. Luckily, seasoned travelers like airline crew share use their social media platforms to share hints for better or safer travel. For example, Esther Sturrus works for Dutch airline KLM and has a TikTok channel she uses to share her many adventures. Recently, she posted a part 2 video sharing tips for traveling, including putting a water bottle under the hotel bed. She explained that it’s a great way to ensure no one is under the bed without physically getting on the floor to look under the hotel bed.
Skepticism Over the Hotel Bed Hack
Despite her experience with traveling, followers felt that her idea was extreme.
“How many times have you found someone under your bed?” One user questioned, adding: “That seems crazy.” Meanwhile, another person joked: “Imagine u don’t throw hard enough, end up accumulating empty bottles below cuz u can reach it.”
Although it’s not likely, it can happen. Hence the reason for her warning.
Expectations from a Bottle Under Hotel Bed
The flight attendant notes two important details regarding throwing a water bottle under the hotel bed. First, the bottle “has to come out on the other side.” Second, she explains that if the bottle doesn’t return on the other side, it may not mean someone is under the bed as sometimes bed legs or storage can prevent the bottle from returning. Either way, it’s a good idea to use caution. Reminding travelers to check under the hotel bed is one of a few tips she shared in her part 2 video.
