What the fuck ?

I'm in a hotel right now and I was menstruating last night. Some blood sipped of my slipper and flew on the bedding of my hotel bed. So far, just normal.

Thanks to the room service staff, my bed sheet was changed.

Additionally, a letter showed up in my room with a picture of the blood spot of the bed sheet informing me that I "contaminated" the room along with a fine of 10 EUR.

Has anyone of you encountered such a sexist fine before ?

@braid WTF?

Not even when I coloured my pillow or towels with my wet hair.

I'd talk to the manager.

@braid insulting and unwelcoming and wouldn't stay there ever again

@braid Last time I encountered something like that was in a remote location somewhere in South Asia. There was a lot of bickering.

I'd probably make a bit of a fuss about it assuming it's safe to do so.

@braid WTF

@braid If they are doing this then it’s a straight up racket - hotel sheets see all kinds of bodily fluids spilled on them (sorry) so they would be charging customers multiple times a week. I would properly kick off and demand the charge gets dropped. By the way, name and shame the hotel because I would if I was in your shoes.

@braid This sounds like a money making scam. Complain and complain loudly in front of other guests. Name & shame on social media of all sorts. Write to the local tourist board.
Do NOT take this lying down.

@braid That's absolutely awful. Blood washes out with the correct treatment like any other fluid. Pure sexism.

@braid if you had shit on the blood it probably would of been ok.

@braid Name and shame.
