Women are well aware that solo business trips, holidays and overnight stays are not always safe. It’s easy to encounter problems and unpleasantness, even when traveling with a partner or a group of friends. What is worth remembering? Check out these popular hotel tricks on social media.
Hotel tricks that can save your life. How to check if we are alone in a hotel room?
Allyah McIntyre is a flight attendant who lives in the United States. Na shares details about her work with followers, but also talks about her travels. However, the most popular are her videos with useful tips that will help ensure safety while staying in hotels. In one of them she showed the “hanger test”.
As Allyah emphasizes, right after entering the hotel room, instead of throwing yourself on the bed or unpacking your suitcases, it is worth grabbing the hanger. Thanks to it, you can make sure that there is no uninvited guest in the room. Just grab it in your hand and start checking nooks and crannies, closets, the space under the bed and behind the curtains. – If someone is there and tries to grab you, they will grab the hanger, not you – she emphasized in the recording. After all, if the hanger has clasps, it is worth securing the curtains with it. Such situations, when a thief or an attacker may be hiding in the room, occur more often in cheap and suspicious hotels, as well as in privately rented rooms, but vigilance will not hurt.
Not just the “hanger test”. There are a few things you should do before going to bed
Another, much more common situation, even in expensive hotels, is an attempt to enter the room. It may happen by mistake, fatigue, or someone may want to enter your room on purpose. Before going to sleep, it is worth checking the closure and making sure it is working properly. If you often travel and stay in hotels, even cheap ones, it is worth investing in a wedge that will block the door from the inside. Allyah, as can be seen in the recording, also uses a special mechanical lock for the lock.
Under the video, there are many opinions of women who immediately decided to follow the advice. There were also voices of men who openly admitted that they do it too. Many people emphasized that they had never paid attention to it until now.
Seriously, do it and check everything. I stayed at the hotel on my birthday and someone opened the door to my room. Luckily I wasn’t asleep yet.
I’ll start doing that because usually when I was in a hotel I didn’t check anything. I went straight to bed.
I’m adding the hanger to my list.
