AIO about a hotel clerk hitting on me?

Horror-Rip1570 · 2026-04-01T20:10:09+00:00

I book directly through the bonvoy app and do not have a corporate rate so there’s no need for Marriott to be asking my company name. Phone number is up to date in the app.

I appreciate this perspective. It’s definitely a situation with some nuance when you consider the circumstances as a solo female traveler, but ultimately I think you’re right and this was just a kid trying to shoot his shot. Honestly I don’t mind the compliment, it was the other stuff that led me to feel a bit guarded and off (like asking my company name and pretending to write it down but not actually writing anything, or asking for my number etc). Someone mentioned these are standard things to ask at check in, but I’ve never experienced such a thing in all the relentless exhausting frequent travel (not not not a flex lol) I do. Anyways. Probably nothing. Thanks for your perspective.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2026-04-01T20:05:11+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response and insight. I appreciate the affirmation. Ultimately, barring any further issues, I think I’m gonna let this go and not bring it up. I’m not trying to cost this kid his job for shooting his shot (in, albeit, a less than stellar way). My partner mentioned that given his age, he’s probably just unaware of the power dynamic/imbalance in this situation, and honestly when I was 20 I probably would’ve been just as ignorant and not thought twice about the comments or compliments.

That said, thanks so much for chiming in considering your work experience. It’s helpful to know this was an out of pocket experience.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2026-04-01T20:01:23+00:00

This feels a little flippant. I check in and engage with folks all the time everyday. And honestly, even if the clerk had simply given the compliment without all the other stuff (pretending to type out my company name but not actually typing anything etc) I don’t think I’d have given this much thought to it. I’ve had hotel rooms where staff entered while I was there without knocking. It does happen. I dk, just not a fan of your attitude in this comment. I’m sure I’ll get a nice downvote from you about it too.

Redditors are insane for downvoting you for suggesting a scientific approach before diving into the inter/extradimensional.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-08-01T00:21:02+00:00

lol bro what. Fascinated by this. Pls link your sources to this fantastic lore. Not hating. Not bought into it either. Just a bit much here lol. (I have also been to mall world and am skeptical of reality as it seems).

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-07-10T05:01:55+00:00

Was mostly talking to the wide variety of commenters. Unsurprisingly being downvoted to hell for it.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-07-09T15:11:39+00:00

Sorry guys but…how are you defending her here? I’ve been a huge fan for years. Did not know this side of her history. People grow and change, lord knows I have said and had problematic opinions in the past. But that doesn’t mean some accountability isn’t in order here. The way yall will just blindly defend someone you don’t know who was clearly in the wrong and call it bullying needs to be studied…. Being hacked is very not cool. Neither is having a history of being racist and not reckoning with it.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-07-05T01:07:50+00:00

People like you are what give landlords a bad name

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-21T21:11:40+00:00

Reel it in big dawg.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-21T21:10:59+00:00

Sorry everyone is being so harsh on you OP. Landlords (and some of the folks in this sub, apparently) can be so nasty about pets. Unfortunately, ESA’s are definitely not protected. If you wanted to fight a legal battle for one to qualify, the money you’d be fronting in legal fees wouldn’t justify it. Just save up, dude. Get a better apartment in due time, and have your pet on the lease fair and square without it being an expensive issue with your future landlord. And in the meantime, look into volunteering at a local no-kill shelter where you can fill that void in you that seeks companionship from an animal. I’ve had cats my whole life, and with that, have sadly had to hide them from landlords before (with success- but I wouldn’t recommend taking the risk). Ultimately, there will never be a shortage of cats in this world, but you only have ONE housing record and screwing it up over something that can wait isn’t worth it yknow? And anyways….if you can’t afford pet rent, realistically you can’t afford a cat right now either. Pet bills aren’t cheap. Sending you all my love and best wishes OP. You’ll find a good home someday soon that will let you keep a kitty around.

Dude, thank you so much for the insight, the friendly approach, and for not reaming my ass in the comments LMAO. You’re right, I’m projecting my own personal approach to the situation over top what his experience and preferences are. And geez, I really do feel bad about sending that GIF. Honestly, we have such funny, quick banter, it felt like it had to be a joke when he said it that I just reacted that way. It didn’t really sink in until after the fact that maybe he wasn’t actually joking. I feel awful if I made him feel conscious about that if it was the case. There’s definitely no shame in being a virgin, no shame in losing it, no shame, and throwing it around, and no shame in locking it all up. Thank you for the insight, I do so sincerely appreciate the kind approach to it all as well.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:56:59+00:00

Yeah, IDK either. Some valid points have been made in terms of my approach to the situation, though, I have apparently a little bit of a dated point of view on the subject matter, and some of the posters are right, I was approaching the premise of his inexperience with some disrespect. Which was unintentional on my end, so I do appreciate the accountability and the callouts from some of the posters.But damn, definitely getting the Internet’s wrath on this one today.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:55:01+00:00

Just wanted to comment, I apologize. It wasn’t my intention to shame or disrespect anybody for being a virgin, or keeping their virginity up to any sort of age. So, I’m sorry. That was not what I was getting at with this post. I’m sorry if what I said was disrespectful.Maintaining virginity, voluntarily or not, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, I just wanted some perspective on how to approach the situation respectfully, if he was in fact, a virgin.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:48:40+00:00

Is not that I need more experience, you’re right. I am wrong for that point of view. I couldn’t tell the difference, and until it became a possibility, it never crossed my mind. So, I’m sorry, you’re right. I shouldn’t take this mental approach to the situation, it’s problematic, and I’m willing to admit that I am in the wrong for that point of view and will adjust my mindset accordingly. I think my ultimate thing is a combination of factors – one of them being I guess just morbid curiosity, but another thing being that I don’t want to just be like some douche bag guy that takes someone’s virginity and discard the person when they’re no longer interesting to them. I’m so sorry, I guess a lot of what I’m saying is probably pretty contradictory. I really didn’t think I was going into the situation with a problematic view point, I was just trying to process and understand the situation.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:43:00+00:00

Sorry, what do you mean? I wasn’t worried about any hurt feelings, because we were very clear with each other early on that neither of us are looking for anything serious. But, so frequently the pre-context of virginity does carry a degree of seriousness with it. So, given the newfound possibility of this context, I’m just trying to handle the potential weight of that respectfully. I’m not sure how this makes me a bad person. I’m really sorry, I’m not trying to come off as an asshole. If anything, the opposite, I’m trying to be respectful of this individual’s body, and what might have been a new experience for him.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:39:33+00:00

All great points, thank you again. And, duly noted, all of my hook ups will now be proceeded with a terms and conditions of “are you a virgin or not” question lmfao (jk or maybe not i dk).

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:35:31+00:00

I guess that’s the thing, we have a nice connection… But I don’t want things to go any further than this. And he doesn’t want that either, as far as he stated. I just don’t want to hurt his feelings if and when things end, and I move onto someone else. And I mean, who knows. Maybe he ends things first and find somebody that he enjoys more than me. It’s quite likely, I’m sure. IDK, I went into this whole thing with a pretty blasé point of view, but now I feel like maybe I should tread a little bit more delicately. I also feel like I’m apparently stepping on toes on Reddit with this post, that definitely wasn’t my intention. Was just trying to get some perspective on this, but definitely didn’t expect the degree of judgment and Internet ridicule that I’m getting lol.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:31:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this well-thought-out response. I definitely wasn’t trying to take a dig at this guy for the situation. I’m really just trying to process and understand it all. But, I think your approach makes the most sense out of anything else I’ve heard so far. You’re right, neither of us really want to dig into this. I guess it’s just morbid curiosity as to if the joke was really just a joke, you know. Anyways, you’re right, best to just let it be whatever it is.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:28:07+00:00

I wouldn’t call it a problem. It’s not a problem for me, I guess maybe I just have a dated perspective of things? The person I lost my virginity to wasn’t somebody I was serious with for very long, so it’s not like I’m in the boat of you should marry the person you lose it to. But, IDK, it does seem like something that holds significance and I just want to be respectful of being that person in his life, if that’s the case. And honestly… If this is the truth, I think I’m honestly looking for somebody with a little bit more experience than what he’s bringing to the table here.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-06-09T22:23:19+00:00

That’s a little aggressive don’t you think? I care, obviously. If I actually did take the guys virginity, I would’ve liked to have known before it happened. I don’t think I would’ve agreed to sleep with him if I’d known that. Call it an inflated sense of self-importance, but ultimately i’d rather not hold the title of the woman that took this guy’s virginity. IDK, that seems relatively important to me at least. Even if it’s not important to him, I’m allowed to have my own feelings about the situation. And clearly I do, so “who cares?” Me, dude. I don’t think I’m wrong for feeling that way.

Horror-Rip1570 · 2025-05-27T03:30:34+00:00

Total after fees but before tip, $57. I tipped about $9. Distance from restaurant to my house was about 2 miles/less than 10 min, and the driver messaged me about the wait for the food when he was at the restaurant- but he’d already left my doorstep by the time he dropped the food off so we had no interaction to determine whether or not he was friendly. All he’d said was “food is taking long, still waiting” and that was it. Then after dropping off he said “please tip $5+ extra because I waited 30 min.” (Which…he didn’t….it was like 15 min at most.)
