Confessions of a klepto: Mzansi tweeps reveal what they’ve taken from hotel rooms

CHARLOTTE Rhys shampoo? Yes please, I’ll take two to go.

It’s no secret that when most of us check out of a hotel, there are certain “freebies” we can’t leave without, especially the complimentary coffee pods or body wash.

Some of us, however, take it a step further. If your big suitcase allows it, that fluffy white robe looks very enticing.

So when local singer Glo Zanayi (@glo_zanayi) shared a tongue-incheek tweet about helping herself to some of the hotel’s more luxurious items, it definitely got tongues wagging and others fessed up to what they take after a hotel stay.

Taking to Twitter, Zanayi shared: “I hate hotel duvets. They are so thick, I can’t close my suitcase.”

The post gained more than 12K retweets and 160K likes, but it was the comments that really drew the rest of the crowd in.

Of course there were a few who didn’t quite get the joke.

One tweep wrote: “Stealing from a hotel is beyond disgusting, u ain’t only ruining someone’s business but also disgracing urself. Remember karma never forgets.

“If u lodge into a hotel, act respectfully & leave, u can take toiletries such as soap, toilet tissue, paste etc if u wish but that’s it” (sic).

On a serious note, he has a point, but that still didn’t stop others from coming for him.

Another admitted to stealing hotel towels and stacking them up.

One online user went into full confession mode and revealed that they took matters into their own hands after the hotel refused to reimburse them for a full night’s stay.
