Is it theft if you use it whilst staying at the hotel?

In that case,is it theft if you take home the tea bags,coffee sachets,milk tubs?

Or God forbid,spare toilet rolls

Probably. It would probably all come down to the Ghosh test about dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another without the intention to return it.

There's a Friends episode about this. It's fine to take things that are complimentary like soap, toothpaste, tampons, but you can't take salt and pepper shakers or lamps.

It annoys me when the batteries are removed from the remotes!

The shampoos etc are going to be binned, so they are a provision of your stay, viewed from any reasonable mind. Towels are different.

I'd love some of the really plush mattress padding that some hotels have, but again these would be viewed as hotel property and dragging one out, whilst in high heels, wouldn't get me very far, when tbey chase me.

If you're overseas, remember your liquid limits, as there's a total allowance, as well as individual item size limit.

How about cutting out the section of carpet from under the bed? It's not like they need that section and a few visits to hotels and I could redo the living room in a nice patchwork effect.

Hello Riverview1,

why bother, they are such fiddly small sachets?

We can't be bothered with the tiny hotel sized toiletries that we always take our own soap, shampoo etc.

When travelling light they are ideal.

Imagine a couple going to club and having a shower when they get there, or before leaving. No need to carry the usual full size around.

Or taking kids to the pool and want to shampoo after being in the pool.

Hi Alec

We are are the same. We always bring our own toiletries as using those small bottles are a pain in the bootocks.

I wouldn't say it was theft though but it's tight as arseholes.

It isn't just the size. You really want to smell the way you like to smell.

Why nab the small stuff from the room? Just distract the cleaning ladies away from their trollies. They usually have box laods of stuff.

I use my own stuff but take the shampoo & shower gel. They're handy for the kids' PE bags

As someone else said, would it be theft if you used them while there? You have paid for the room & it is up to the hotel if they include the complimentary bits or not.

I leave all the toiletries and take their bibles instead - a moral conundrum!

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Hotels expect you to take them, whether you use them there or not. They also expect the teabags and coffee sachets to vanish too.

I don't think its tight. They are wonderful for short breaks away, whether at home or abroad. They save me having to lug several large bottles around, and the teabag and coffee sachets come in handy when camping.

Unless you're driving and taking the ferry. I collected loads on a round trip of Europe from various hotels.

Really useful when travelling. I gave a lot to a friend who goes camping.

When I worked in a popular hotel chain they stopped providing little sachets and instead installed soap like dispensers in the shower of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel and a soap dispenser at the sink.

The shower gel was the mint sauce stuff and now and again someone would break the dispenser to take out the shower gel, now that was scabby I thought!

Your hotel wasn't that one in Blackpool that deducted £100 from credit cards for posting bad reviews by any chance was it?

If it was, your quaver business should be a success. Hope you extra staff on for Friday nights.

Didn't think the ghosh test would be mentioned on ere, but with Tina on this one ghosh test needs to be applied!!

I find them very handy for the gym or going away where they don't have them. Sometimes, the holiday inns 'forget' the moisturisers and I'm forever reminding them to supply them!

I got to take home slippers once. I couldn't believe they were complimentary, so asked at reception... Yep.

I'm always a bit cheeky and ask for stuff like extra shower gel or bottles of water and they're always really helpful
