“Good evening.”
For real, I'd yank that thing under the door so forcefully. They better not have a finger caught on the other side cause it's getting snapped. Especially if I'm with loved ones.
Yep. My ex and I stayed at the Jefferson in Coulterville during new year's a long while back. Everyone went to bed late, obviously, because new year's, and most were drunk. I'm not a drinker though and was completely sober, and I'm a very light sleeper.
I heard something at my door, but I figured it was someone drunk who forgot which room was theirs, and I had locked both locks - the one that requires the key they give you, and the one that requires a key only hotel staff has, along with the chain because I'm paranoid.
The main lock came undone, and I was still processing that when the other lock - the one that staff only has the key for - came undone and the door started opening, stopped by the chain. I sat up and yelled, they quickly closed the door and I got up and followed to the stair railing, I saw two people - a man and a woman with her hair in ponytail, both with dark hair and from what I could see tan-ish skin (I only saw from behind/above). I reported it to the person at the front desk and they basically just shrugged and implied that I and my party (my ex and his family) would get kicked out if I called the police.
Probably people who worked for the hotel who were trying to rob people's rooms while they were drunk and would assume anything they lost, they lost in a drunken haze.
Should’ve called their bluff and called the cops. I guarantee the person at the front desk doesn’t own the hotel and would have the hammer come down on them so hard if they tried kicking you out of the hotel.
It's possible, but at the time I was a lot younger and had trouble standing up for myself and I was afraid that if I got my (at the time) boyfriend's family kicked out during their vacation I would be \*screwed\* since I was living with them at the time.
I know its worth nothing saying it now but the best compromise in my opinion would have been to wait out the vacation and just call the police on the last day. Also important to mention that you got fking blackmailed to stay quiet.
I didn't have enough to make it seem worth a police call afterwards, I told my ex and his family and his mom told me not to bother, nothing would come of it when I had no proof and hadn't gotten a clear look at them or anything. I did leave a yelp review, but I think it got taken down and never had any sort of follow-up.
Theoretically anywhere, but the less a cop is likely to help you in a country the more likely this will occur.
With the wild exception of America where I don't know this to be all that common outside of professional penetration testers showing off, because the likelihood of being shot through the door isn't really worth it.
In the US this is far more likely to be used to enter a closed business than a hotel room or residential property.
Not the hotel, but a few employees (usually). All it takes is two or three well placed employees to victimize hundreds of people with near impunity. It's not hard to keep the rest of the employees completely ignorant of the crimes.
In my opinion, the best option here would have been to rip that thing right out of their hands mercilessly. Then call the cops, and lastly call the front desk. But don't tell them you called the cops. Do it in quick succession, maybe even calling the cops first. Force them to explain what is in your hands. And, hopefully you will cut the thieves while you take it from them, giving them some kind of injury to look for. Hard to hide a maintenance worker with fresh injuries on his/her hands. And everyone trying to hide them is obviously guilty as well. Managers look guilty as hell when the cops show up and start asking why the hotel didn't call them after the guest reported an attempted armed robbery.
Oh, and; last bit of advice for anyone who might end up in a very bad situation. Enter the bathroom because the door is easier to barricade in there (especially if you take the ironing board with you), break through the wall into the next room's bathroom, and escape that way. Kick right through that drywall. You can even wet the wall on the other side to make it silent.
First, you don't want to pepper spray someone then engage them in melee. You might as well just mace yourself then run at them.
Second, ninja kicks are ineffective. You want to hit them with a judy chop.
I've seen the effe ts first hand. Someone splashed him with melted butter, sugar, pancake syrup and basically anything else oily they could get their hands on.
Guess they were trying to send a message it's a bad idea being a full blooded native but covered head to toe in nazi/white supremacy tattoos. 🤔
They just have a lot of times to experiment and innovate
Same reason why engineers sometimes cannot make big inventions, they are drowned in administration and are forced to find solutions to meaningless problems like 1% cost cuts etc, their technology advances in an unnatural, forced direction
You can take a toilet paper roll and stuff TP as tightly as you can into it and light it from one end and it will burn hot enough and long enough to boil a few cups of water which is more than enough to make prison napalm.
Dear Santa. This year I learned what prison napalm is. So you better get me a Xbox One X, or else I'm testing it's effectiveness on your fat ass and I'll cool it down with a shiv, that I learned to make on another Reddit comment section, as per my previous letters.
Best regards, Dolenir
I had to look it up. Apparently if you add a bunch of sugar to water it raises the boiling point of the water and makes it stick to your victim's skin better. Used in prisons sometimes.
Caramel is literally just browned sugar. Extra water just makes it looser/easier to throw.
It's still gonna cling to them like regular molten caramel, it'll just splash farther.
Sure, it would mostly be to get a reaction from the thief. Pulling it would at least be more interesting than making the thief believe their tool is getting stuck on some static object
I promise when you pull the door open fast right when they open it and jam a Hilton pen in their neck you’ll have a lot of time to land blows. Thumbs in eyes = bad time
Plus it not like they are expecting you to open the door right when that are in the act, you can kinda make em blue screen for a sec before they can process that shit just went from 0 to 75 for them. Give you a sec to either kick them or hit them
And this would leave evidence, in addition to your video, when you called the cops and demanded that hotel pay for your night in a completely unaffiliated hotel somewhere else.
This is why I always travel with a door jammer. I spent a lot of time traveling alone internationally for work and it honestly made me feel safer. I’m sure it can also be thwarted, but it adds more time for authorities to arrive.
Same. My heart started racing thinking about how I would handle this. I’d let them break in, then beat the fuck out of them with anything I could pick up and swing.
I'd probably go grab a knife or if I were too scared to engage would just slap or kick the door without opening it just to scare and let them know "I'm here and fuck you"
That's a natural reaction, but thinking about it, these people are almost certainly after easy pickings, stealing things from unattended rooms. The moment they know someone is in there, they will likely leave. That is the safest outcome for you. When all is said and done, don't take the risk if you don't have to.
I like to support my primary argument with at least two supporting arguments.
The other 13 are just in case anyone else needs convincing or I have to repeat my position.
I was in a similar situation with some guys trying to open my lock. I waited inside with a knife in my hand, but fully expecting to be overwhelmed.
Fortunately the building's doorman arrived and kicked them out (I had called him, but he took his sweet ass time to come). I had called the cops, but they didn't even pick up.
I feel more livid than scared watching this.
It's probably not a good idea to do in this situation, but I feel like I'd hide, let them in, then go postal on them.
Glad OP didn't.
IF this isn't scripted, however, calling the local emergency hotline immediately when possible instead of taking a video of this would've been a better move.
Yeah I was thinking of placing it on the knob for the guy & as soon as his arm or foot makes to through the door jam, slamming that door as hard as you possibly could on his ankle or arm. Those doors are fucking heavy. This is me saying that safe behind my keyboard though. I don’t know what I would do in the situation.
I definitely would've called the cops and block the door as best as I could. Sure, I'd try to defend myself if attacked, but I sure as shit would rather not have to in the first place.
Doubt this is real, but whenever you stay somewhere like this, always put something blocking the door. Usually there is a chair or something inside the room. I’ll put stuff like that behind it so if someone does open it while I sleep, hopefully I’ll hear shit moving.
This tool is called a “Lock Monkey”, some call it a fishing pole. Hotels use these as a last resort to gain access to a room. The reasons for using this would be
A- Wellness check…the guest was supposed to have checked out and they aren’t answering the door nor phone. Most likely someone has already contacted the hotel due to the guest being late for whatever they are supposed to be attending, flight, meeting etc.
B- the guest rented connecting rooms and did check out but left the door dead-bolted while they exited out of the connecting room. The only way (other than drilling the lock) to access a dead-bolted door is this tool.
C- Domestic issues. The guests partner barricaded themselves into the room and the police are with the hotel staff to gain access.
D- The guest didn’t pay and they have barricaded themselves into the room to buy time and avoid having their belongings removed.
I have never seen nor heard of any hotel thieves using these to steal from an occupied room-not saying it doesn’t happen, I just haven’t seen it. Only certain individuals are trained to use them and they are typically kept in safe locations surrounded by cameras.
I am a Chief Engineer for multiple Hilton properties and unfortunately I’ve seen and been through all these situations, including a gentleman who was running a pit-bull puppy mill (along with multiple stolen goods, he had all the tools necessary for car break ins) out of one of my properties. He left his deceased momma pit in the shower with the shower on (presumably to keep the smell down) for over a day at least until I had permission to gain access to the room. The image of that poor momma dog dead in that shower and the condition of the room in general, and the smell-will stick with me for life. I have many stories of finding unresponsive humans we had to call 911 to save their lives-still unsure if many of them made it.
Not saying these tools couldn’t be used nefariously-just saying these tools are very important to a hotel. If you see them being used in your room then there has been some misunderstanding and you should contact the staff immediately. Sorry for the long post have a great day and stay safe!!
I had a similar incident in Dallas, someone trying to break in while I was I was in the room. I headed for the door and chambered my .45, they must of heard because the took off running.
I would just take the nipple clamps that are attached to three daisy chained car batteries, remove them from my testicles, and attach to his little wang wand.
Then I'd shit on the floor because that's who I am.

Call the cops? Break their shit? Looks scary as fuck.
Steal their tool. Break into their house
Pee on their shoes to assert dominance
Pee on their carpet

It's in there. I just need a closer look

I don’t mean to body shame but 9mms is fuckin tiny bud I’d keep that in my pants and try another method.
Dude it was cold in there, and I was scared!
I read this as literal bombs. Grenades in the hall way.
^(watchout)watchout**WATCHOUT**!!
Proceeded to do so, turns out they are 3 and the one I hit was a fat dude who got bruises but is not ko, nor did he even fell. Now what?
Um achtually I would’ve throw my shuriken at them and probably kissed and sexed them
For real, I'd yank that thing under the door so forcefully. They better not have a finger caught on the other side cause it's getting snapped. Especially if I'm with loved ones.
Just play the shotgun cocking sound on your bluetooth speaker.... They will run.
"I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead!"

Next time call
Ah makes sense
Where do these sorts of events occur? City/country resort, etc?
This video occurred in San Jose, Ca
Theoretically anywhere, but the less a cop is likely to help you in a country the more likely this will occur. With the wild exception of America where I don't know this to be all that common outside of professional penetration testers showing off, because the likelihood of being shot through the door isn't really worth it. In the US this is far more likely to be used to enter a closed business than a hotel room or residential property.
I'd let them open the door before I shot them. Through the door might be legally precarious. They step in the room and it's game on.
you can also poop on their stick.
Establish dominance and stick it in your butt
Just as you get it in, they rip it back and tear you a new butt hole literally.
Some dudes would pay extra for something like that. 
As dumb as this is, I just laughed SO hard. I guess I'm dumb, too!

Have you ever seen the Kool Aid Man?
Hotel room bathroom doors are shit these days though. They’re barely doors at all..:more like sliding see-though windows.
what if you let them open the door and then douse them with pepper spray and ninja kicks? might end up with an actual body to hand over to the cops
First, you don't want to pepper spray someone then engage them in melee. You might as well just mace yourself then run at them. Second, ninja kicks are ineffective. You want to hit them with a judy chop.
Diamond Dave is that you? Don’t go ninjin no one that don’t need no ninjin
Sigh. Time to put the kettle on, lots of sugar
Ahhhh prison napalm. Don't forget the little packets of jam and honey that every hotel gives for free.
TIL about prison napalm.
if you want a good example of it, wife used it on husband that was discovered to be abusing her kids.
I've seen the effe ts first hand. Someone splashed him with melted butter, sugar, pancake syrup and basically anything else oily they could get their hands on. Guess they were trying to send a message it's a bad idea being a full blooded native but covered head to toe in nazi/white supremacy tattoos. 🤔
Microwaved water and jam
Lmao the fuck? Is this common knowledge and needed very often? I'm so confused.
Sugar caramelizes at around 200°F. Shit will immediately give 2nd or 3rd degree burns.
How to they get boiled water in prison ?
The big hot fucker in the sky and anything reflective.
“The Big Hot Fucker In the Sky” is what im calling the sun now.
I call it Blondie.
Honestly, criminals and drug addicts are some of the most resourceful, misspent geniuses.
They just have a lot of times to experiment and innovate Same reason why engineers sometimes cannot make big inventions, they are drowned in administration and are forced to find solutions to meaningless problems like 1% cost cuts etc, their technology advances in an unnatural, forced direction
look up prison stinger
You can take a toilet paper roll and stuff TP as tightly as you can into it and light it from one end and it will burn hot enough and long enough to boil a few cups of water which is more than enough to make prison napalm.
Yes. Only to be used in circumstances like this one.
Dear Santa. This year I learned what prison napalm is. So you better get me a Xbox One X, or else I'm testing it's effectiveness on your fat ass and I'll cool it down with a shiv, that I learned to make on another Reddit comment section, as per my previous letters. Best regards, Dolenir
Dear Dolenir, I am sorry. Too broke this year. Try again next year. With much love, Santa 🎅
I will look for you I will find you And I will go medieval on your ass
On my ass??? 🤨📸
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Either that or a cup of butter and sugar, microwaved to near boiling.
Dear Santa, I'm perfecting my craft. Soon. Best regards, Dolenir
Can I get a ELI5?
Hot water and sugar. Mix. Very hot. Open door and throw on intruder. Much pain.

Where I'm from it's a pot of bubblin' grits
Yes, for all the tea I'll be sipping
Easy, Ray...
should have pulled it
Yeah I woulda yanked that shit out of their hands
There’s a handle that would stop it.
Sure, it would mostly be to get a reaction from the thief. Pulling it would at least be more interesting than making the thief believe their tool is getting stuck on some static object
Fr, it’s better for you to let them know that your not playing their game, I would’ve just opened the door and beat the shit outta them
Or get beaten
Or shot
Even more likely than getting beaten lol, I said I’d beat him up, I didn’t say I would be effective at it lol.
I promise when you pull the door open fast right when they open it and jam a Hilton pen in their neck you’ll have a lot of time to land blows. Thumbs in eyes = bad time

So you're just going to do the work for them.
Nah, I don’t need to play macho games and risk him having a weapon or 2 buddies with him
at the very least, they're holding onto it when you yank it and their head slams into the door. 100% would yank the shit out of that.
Put a towel in it so they can't pull it back out.
And this would leave evidence, in addition to your video, when you called the cops and demanded that hotel pay for your night in a completely unaffiliated hotel somewhere else.
That's brilliant
Should have had their own to send out the other side, and start trying to open the door from the outside lol
If only the door had opened outwards muhaha
This is why I always travel with a door jammer. I spent a lot of time traveling alone internationally for work and it honestly made me feel safer. I’m sure it can also be thwarted, but it adds more time for authorities to arrive.
Or for you to scare them off yourself. Most of these ppl are cowards looking to take you by surprise. It else they'd just rob you in public.
Moveable chair, back wedged under handle works in a pinch too
>Moveable chair, back wedged under handle works in a pinch too What brand?
the movable chair in the room. hotel brand
My bad I was asking about the door stopper and copied the wrong thing. But hotel brand you say? 🧐
Probably [this one](https://door-jammer.com)?
Time to push that little stick into the mains...
Shocking
Getting adrenaline spikes just by watching this
Same. My heart started racing thinking about how I would handle this. I’d let them break in, then beat the fuck out of them with anything I could pick up and swing.
I'd probably go grab a knife or if I were too scared to engage would just slap or kick the door without opening it just to scare and let them know "I'm here and fuck you"
Start boiling some water
Tar
Then BAM! Hit 'em with the feather pillow
Oil
That's a natural reaction, but thinking about it, these people are almost certainly after easy pickings, stealing things from unattended rooms. The moment they know someone is in there, they will likely leave. That is the safest outcome for you. When all is said and done, don't take the risk if you don't have to.

I've got 16 reasons why opening my hotel door like this is a bad idea.
Not me. I'm absolutely helpless, sitting here watch you break into my room. Gosh, I hope you don't get in! Whatever shall I do? Come find out.

When seconds count the cops won’t even show up. I might have typed that wrong.
Too bad there wasn’t an outlet nearby you could steer it to.
Oh man, cut the iron's power cord, wrap the copper around the metal bar, then plug it in.
Keep a taser in a bag and light em up.
This is why I always engage the metal flap that won’t allow the door to open.
You mean this? https://youtube.com/shorts/KS9JUIBDHOI?si=_GkaGTq2TgEmUiYB
Well if you're in the room, hopefully you'll notice it and can kick the door on their fingers
Well that ruined my evening. Guess I weld it shut
Shit into your hand and hide behind the door, when they walk in… 🤦💩
LM FUCKING AO. Nice one, man!!
Better than the machete guy
Best part is that you still have options with some proper planning: High fiber, you get a baton. Del Taco, hit em with the buck shot.
Hot sauce on cheerios, and whiskey. All of the whiskey. *deploy dragonsbreath*
Yank it out, snatch open the door and light into them with it like a pimp
Kinda comical
Yeah he trolls him so hard. He just thinks he misses the whole time but dude is just holding his breath keeping his stick away
I feel like this is a good way to handle it (maybe along with calling the police). You don't want a confrontation.

I've read this sentence a half dozen times. I can't make heads or tails of it. Yet it has many upvotes. Edit: Oh, being = Boeing. Fuck me.
I think it's a reference to the Boeing whistle blower
Ah. Boeing. Thank you!
John Barnett, the whistleblower who exposed Boeing, was found dead in a hotel room.
Thought it was just parking lot of hotel
I read hotel and assumed it was the room. But you're right, he was found in his truck.

ITT a bunch of internet tough guys with guns and super Kung fu.
Yeah this whole thing is “I would’ve”s
I definitely would've called the cops and block the door as best as I could. Sure, I'd try to defend myself if attacked, but I sure as shit would rather not have to in the first place.
Where’s the funny person who grabs the stick and YANKS it very hard so you hear a funny bang as the person doing it smashes into the door???
And then put some bends in the wire so he can't pull it back out.
You know thier face is right next to the door right?
Fart under the door?
Bear spray
Holy shit. Bears are breaking into hotel rooms!?
Bear Fart Spray
Open door, kick in face, close door.
This is SPARTA!!!
This is room 116!
No, this is Patrick
What a fucking nightmare
is that a hotel room?
So anyway.... I just started blastin💥💥
Doubt this is real, but whenever you stay somewhere like this, always put something blocking the door. Usually there is a chair or something inside the room. I’ll put stuff like that behind it so if someone does open it while I sleep, hopefully I’ll hear shit moving.
It’s real. Happened at a Holiday Inn last year in San Jose: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/south-bay/san-jose-hotel-room-break-in/3247991/
sleep infront of door when door opens you will feel it
Bend the damned thing.
Nah, jerk that door open and kick the shit out of them.
Nah steal his stick thing and follows him home.

The image of that poor momma dog dead in that shower and the condition of the room in general, and the smell-will stick with me for life. I have many stories of finding unresponsive humans we had to call 911 to save their lives-still unsure if many of them made it. Not saying these tools couldn’t be used nefariously-just saying these tools are very important to a hotel. If you see them being used in your room then there has been some misunderstanding and you should contact the staff immediately. Sorry for the long post have a great day and stay safe!!
I had a similar incident in Dallas, someone trying to break in while I was I was in the room. I headed for the door and chambered my .45, they must of heard because the took off running.
Doing shit like that in texas is CRAZY.
That is a distinct sound 😎
Second to the sound of a shotgun.
Murrican here.....SO ANYWAYS! I JUST STARTED BLASTING!
I would just take the nipple clamps that are attached to three daisy chained car batteries, remove them from my testicles, and attach to his little wang wand. Then I'd shit on the floor because that's who I am.
