Travel and Vaping ARRrrrrrggghgh - Watch yer stuff!

[Jim Davis]

Arrived in Plymouth, WI Sunday night for a job on Monday. There was a vintage car meet in town, and I got one of the few rooms left. A smoking room. (Could smell the lingering smoke.)

I used my passthrough on the drive from Milwaukee, and changed a few carts on the way. I put a half dozen carts in the ash tray with the plugs so I could refill them.

Returned from work today at 4:00pm, and THE FREAKING ASH TRAY WAS EMPTY!!!!!!! The maid dumped my good carts!!!!!! And she never even wiped out the ash tray. It still had juice in the bottom of it.

Another lesson learned.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Did you leave a tip on the pillow before you left?

 

[Jim Davis]

I'm still here, but not much that can be done. The carts were in the ashtray, and her job was to empty the ashtrays. Like I said, another lesson learned.

Yeah, sometimes they dont think about what they toss.. Ive had a dinner receipt thrown away, which of course is a major pain in the ... to get reimbursed for.

I even came back to my room once and she threw away my little ziplock baggie for my liquiids!!.. grrrrrr

I never leave anything out when staying in a hotel. If I don't have time to sort it and put it where it goes, I shove it in a drawer. I especially never leave my toothbrush in sight!

I always put the do not disturb sign on my door handle when I leave. I don't let them clean my room unless I'm there.

I am the same way. In hotels I have lost cigarettes, zippo lighters, money left on the counter. Either way I could never prove it. Was a very different experience.

sorry to hear that man, ive had stuff (mysteriously) go missing, its a shame

I leave stuff out, but pretty much without exception, every time I travel I leave the "Do not Disturb" sign up the entire time that I'm there. I do not want them in my room touching anything.

Lucky you didn't leave your ecig in the ash tray.

My e-cig is *never* left unattended.

I've learned in the past to also never leave anything out that might be tempting or look like it should be tossed. I lost a few things over the years when I traveled a lot.

PS. Welcome to Wisconsin Jim.

 

[Jim Davis]

Been to WI many, many times. Thanks for the Welcome, but you're too late. I'm posting from London, ON right now.

Sorry to hear that Jim. I travel quite a bit and have been fortunately very lucky. I even had a TSA agent make me unzip my laptop case and prove it was an e-cig. Afterwards he asked where he could "get one of those things" and I was more than happy to oblige.

Of course today, he would probably be fired and I would be strip searched (and NOT in a good way) before they threw me in Gitmo for carrying an ISD (Improved Smoking Device)

we just got back from ventura, cali, and the la quinta was nice nonsmoking room. vaped like crazy, no probs with smoke alarms or in the dinning room. i had no probs with the little tool box of e-cig supplys. i did a achol and water cleaning of about fifty carts and had them out to dry, not one missing. i did fly to seattle from oxnard to LA to seattle on little jets and turboprobs and the first flight had only 5 peeps on it the stew said ok, but the rest of the flights were full and i did not ask (so no data). the hotel in seattle was nonsmoking, and had no probs vapng there or at the yankee dinner in the hotel... oh and the taxi the driver looked but said nothing.
sorry about ur stuff JD.

That's a good tip for everyone Jim, thanks for sharing. Since a lot of people are not totally aware yet, especially on what some of this stuff looks like when it isn't assembled, it's a good idea to keep everything somewhere that nobody is going to make the mistake of tossing it.
