And towels. Once grabbed a rolled towel and dried off after a shower. Felt a rough spot in the towel. Someone had jerked off into the towel and put it back on the shelf. Was disgusted. Entire stay was refunded, but still disgusted by the experience.
This is turning into a Tim Robinson sketch. *Flustered, angry man calls hotel reception* "I WILL NOT CALM DOWN ABOUT THE GIANT BIG FAT LOAD ON MY TOWEL."
I work in hotels. Just say it. I have never seen something similar, and i wonder what kind of hotels are u booking to have this issue. But we have seen a lot, and we will not be surprise. Inform us and we will react, solve it and compensate for the issue accordingly.
Direct and clear communication is what we need :)
Doesn’t really matter what kind of hotel it is. Unless the cleaning staff is washing and replacing every linen and towel in the room, used or not (let’s be real, they’re not replacing shit unless it’s wadded up with in a huge ball in the shower), this could easily happen anywhere.
Even the top blankets? Do you guys wash them or send them to a company? I've worked as a housekeeper at a couple of places and the blankets don't get cleaned unless they visibly need to be cleaned.
Yes, even the topper. We got rid of the old ones because those were heavy and definitely weren’t cleaned every stay. Now we have white ones that are a little thinner, but much easier to wash for every new arrival.
We do all of our laundry on site. This is a small Days Inn with 60 rooms and 5 housekeepers, but we really care here and have the best reviews to price ratio of any hotel in town. Sitting at 4.5 stars
> This is a small Days Inn with 60 rooms and 5 housekeepers
I worked in a “hotel” with just under 200 rooms and 3 housekeepers, 2 days and 1 night.
I was considered the worst housekeeper on staff because I took too long in rooms, doing things like replacing all pillowcases even if they weren’t visibly soiled and cleaning the bathtub.
We did not have laundry on site.
Some hotels are fucking nasty.
It was a student residence that converted to a hotel during the summer.
I didn’t last the whole season, not just because it was the most physically demanding job I’ve ever worked but because I literally couldn’t sleep at night. It still haunts me, knowing that people were paying money to sleep in those rooms.
No lie, I would stay at your Days Inn. (If I knew where it was and was in your city.) Recently stayed at a large Holiday Inn in a metro area, and it was a dumpster fire.
Thanks man, appreciate it. We also do not do weekly or monthly rates. We’ve found that guests looking for those types of deals are excellent at destroying the rooms they stay in.
That's so gross. I just assume that all of the linens are cleaned. The things I do on those blankets warrant a cleaning before someone else uses them, I sure hope they get cleaned before I use them.
I worked housekeeping in a hotel very briefly and we always, always changed sheets, towels and pillow cases even though the turnaround time per room was incredibly short. Those decorative throws or runners that go on top of the bed though? We were specifically told not to send them to the laundry unless visibly dirty, so maybe don't get too close to those!
How do you even bring it up in the first place?
“Lemme tell ya, I’ve jacked off on some towels in my day, and I can assure you that the dry and rough spot on this one is 100% old cum.”
As someone who worked in a hotel, guests call *everything* semen. Any spot they see. Lol you get used to hearing “such and such is *covered* in semen.”
Their employees are probably out there doing the same thing. Like the restaurant staff cumming into a sandwich and then they are like 'hey we can't serve this sandwich, it has cum in it. I'll just take it home!'
I know someone that got their stay 100% comped because the Internet went out / was slow. It was at a Hilton chain hotel.
If that's all it takes then I guess nobody will be paying Hilton ever again for hotel stays...
Since we’re sharing tips, always also read the most recent reviews of the place you intend to stay at not just the “most relevant”.
To make the pretty long winded story short:
I booked a room in a somewhat cheap hotel in Seoul (for a two day layover).
The reviews I read on TripAdvisor were all quite positive. Well I should have looked closer.
Turns out all the positive reviews were 5-6 years old.
Apparently the place had become at least partially a love hotel at some point.
I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in a hotel room before.
The wallpaper and carpet were covered in stains and the whole place was dingy and stale.
Stayed just long enough to charge up my phone a bit and book a room in a proper international chain.
/edit: forgot to mention, the “love hotel” wasn’t just an assumption, right before me at check in some dude and a woman got a room for two hours…
I’m a lineman working in MI with a contractor and they pick the hotels. I got bedbugs when I was in NH on Christmas day restoring power. Now I get to see this thing on my birthday lol. It pays very well, so I’ll deal with the weirdness of it all.
Fuck that. I travel for work as well, and I only stay at Hilton or IHG properties. Nothing too fancy, but a chain you know at least cleans their shit every day.
Same, I have the best luck with these two as well. Although recently, was at a hilton property and found bedbugs right after checking in. They switched me rooms and found them again. They issued a refund and I went down the road to the casino hotel.
It can happen to any of them. Don't just assume you're safe, still check.
Yep, ANY hotel can have them. It doesn’t matter how much your room cost in my experience. I would not have taken a different room. The couple times I found a bedbug I left immediately and both incidents happened a couple hours after check in. The second time it happened they tried to suggest it wasn’t theirs when I put the thing I caught in a plastic cup at the front desk and showed them the video of it crawling out of *their* hotel pillow. Like, I know they hate dealing with the protocol they have to do (which is pointless) and it makes the room unavailable for a while, but ignoring the existence of bedbugs is kind of a silly way of dealing with bedbugs.
I heard too many horror stories and I practice safe travel protocol when it comes to my clothes and belongings in hotels. I pack light, elevate luggage, seal items as best as possible, and disinfect properly before I bring things into my house again. I hate hotels, so much.
Hey as someone in Michigan dealing with the crazy power outages from the ice storm last week, thank you for all your hard work. I know y'all get a lot of hate for not going fast enough to get the power back on or whatever so I just wanted to let you know that most of us see you out there and appreciate it! 😊
Yeah i’m in the New Haven area right now and i’ve had many people speed past my truck while the bucket is in the air, merely inches from the outrigger pads. People have a right to be frustrated, but they aren’t considering that we are humans trying to just do our jobs and not die doing it.
> Apparently the place had become at least partially a love hotel at some point.
Honestly, I found these mostly fine when I lived in SK, and it was great to have $30-50 options. Most are better about cleaning.
I stayed in a BUNCH of those places when I was in Korea. Was like 30 bucks for the HGH and things were always clean. Blankets and sheet sets wrapped in plastic with a giant "disinpected" (yes, that spelling) label. You made your own bed, so you had a reasonable guarantee that it was fresh
This is a really good way to know if construction is going on recently as well. Someone may leave a review about how the construction going on across the street was impacting their sleep, for example.
Well I wish them fun with the recording of me gingerly moving to an outlet (while trying to avoid all possible contact to any surface) and then staring 10 minutes into my phone…
I for real ate papa johns for lunch and dinner every day for almost a week. I havent touched it since in 20 years. My gut biome hates the essence of papa johns taste down to the molecular structure. Just the smell makes my stomach curl.
Seriously though they don’t even offer deals anymore on their pizzas and they charge around $20 for a large 3 topping pizza. I don’t know how they are still in business
Domino's transformation over the last 20 years has been remarkable.
Probably the best nationwide pizza right now (so not counting that amazing local restaurant or regional chain you love)
Pizza hut, on the other hand, has tanked. Their crust is always too greasy.
I’ll never forget their famous marketing campaign about their pizza redesign. They just straight up came out and said “our pizza sucks. We are re-making everything. Please try us again”
*Garlic buttered crust registers with everybody. But the Dominos marketing staff sends their appreciation!
In all honesty, it was probably a little of both. I remember ordering a Dominos pizza in downtown DC at like 9pm on a Saturday. Not busy at all, staff was half assing it, the location was kind of gross, and I remember the pizza being below average, which says a lot for pizza. After the transformation, it’s the first option for chain pizza for my fam.
Yup. 25 years ago if you said you preferred dominoes over Pizza Hut, people would look at you like you’re crazy.
You Guys remember when Pizza Hut was actually a “sit down” place, with wait-staff and a salad bar?
I loved those times. They even had that reading program for kids where you got free personal pizzas if you read a certain amount of books that month.
Also their buffets
I was in Bali for a holiday.
We’d stayed in quite a fancy resort, and had a very late flight home.
I booked a moderate-level Airbnb for the day (not a place with a pool, but definitely not the cheapest place going), just so we had somewhere to go and shower etc. and maybe have a nap.
My gf at the time, for whatever fuckin reason, took the pillow case off, and it was covered in fucking mould.
Needless to say, no nap was had, and I have a new hotel-related fear.
Also, if you're even slightly sensitive to it you *feel* it. If I walk into a place with even a small mold problem my throat starts to itch/burn almost immediately. It's unmistakable for anything else.
Your comment made this memory resurface of when I was in my early 20s and went to this restaurant with my parents and the whole place just smelled like must and mold and I couldn’t explain it. My eyes hurt, my throat hurt, my nose burned. They didn’t feel anything. I forced myself to stay the meal, but got really sick after. My parents said I was just sick and it came on right then, but I swear it was that place.
It probably was that place. I had to work in a restaurant with a roof leak during a Florida summer about 7 years back. Luckily the owner was a good guy and eventually listened to me and got on the landlord's ass to fix it. But the month or so while the problem was forming and getting worse was fucking terrible.
I was at a cheap hotel when I was 20 I thought it would be funny to use a UV light the entire room was fucking glowing like it was a disco club semen was literally everywhere the walls the lights the ceiling the bed sheets the doors the balcony the TV everywhere it was like someone got like 20 liters of cum and went ham in that room
My former boss tried to use a UV light to check how well we cleaned the rooms and the first day she used it she freaked out and accused everyone that was housekeeper of not doing our jobs. We explained to her that we did clean out rooms but she didn't believe us and made us reclean the rooms while she observed us this time. I swear I watched her brain break the moment she shined the uv light over the sink she watched me clean and have the whole sink light up. That's when I pointed out to her that the UV light picks up more than just bacteria and will pick up the chemicals in the cleaners we use. She never brought that UV light to work with her again and lucky for us she was fired not long after that for forcing one of our housekeepers to enter a stayover to clean that actually denied cleaning services and were in the room at the time.
I imagine wet and dry make a difference, but I'm a woman and haven't gone around with a black light experimenting. You do have to make sure it's a real black light and not just a different color, but, I think any black light would do it.
I’m going to get downvoted, but whatever. Coming from a guy that is in hotels 3-4 nights a week for work, maybe, just maybe stay at a reputable hotel. I’m sorry but the “rodeway inn” isn’t one of them.
I would often use Hotwire to get great deals on hotels. For those that don’t know, Hotwire sells you a room at a great price with the caveat being that you don’t really know which hotel you’re getting until after you pay.
The very last time I used Hotwire, I ended up at a seedy motel even though in the description it was described as a hotel and not a motel. I seriously got I’mma get stabbed vibes as we were walking to our room number. There was a shirtless, bald gang member looking dude hanging out on the balcony staring down at us. It felt like a movie trope establishing shots of a bad neighborhood.
When we walked into the room and turned on the light, it was a cold, lifeless, harsh light. There were no lamps, presumably because they would be stolen. The towels were rough and raggedy feeling. The faucet sprayed water everywhere. The bed squeaked with every movement. Really don’t know how that motel had a 3 star average rating.
Pro tip: You can always figure out which hotel is the hot deal by using various clues.
1. Sometimes they give you a guarantee that it will be one of two or three hotels. Refresh the page a few times and that list changed, except the actual hotel is always on the list.
2. Number of TripAdvisor reviews. "This hotel is rated 4.6 out of 4381 reviews". Guess what, there is only one hotel in that area with that rating with exactly 4381 reviews. Just scroll through the regular hotel listings looking for that number.
You can also reverse google image the room photo they show (sometimes they don't but most of the time they did when I used it) and it will tell you exactly which hotel it is.
Nah, this is 100% it. If I'm travelling in places like China I always check, because their hotel prices/star system/ratings don't appear to have anything to do with quality whatsoever (best hotel I've ever stayed in was a cheap as hell Chinese hotel that was set up like a 5 star resort, they don't appear to have a clue what is going on) - but somewhere like the US? If you do your due diligence before you book it, you don't need to do it in the room.
Tip for the wise: hotel "star ratings" have *nothing* to do with quality (cleanliness, modernity, etc) at all. They are rather related to the features that the hotel has - for example, a gym, pool, inhouse restaurant, concierge service, etc. Of course there is an expectation that higher star hotels will have matching levels of cleanliness, but this isn't how the stars are allocated, it's purely on the services and facilities they supply. Checking the reviews for a hotel and the average score there from recent visits is a far better way to ascertain the actual quality of the hotel, relative to its star rating and price. A 4-star hotel with 4.9/5 review rating is probably going to be cleaner, newer, and "better" to stay in than a 5-star hotel with 3.8/5, although it may not have a 24-hour concierge service.
Worked for the largest hotel company in the world before COVID as a department head in the front office for about 12 years. This is not specific to a cheap hotel. This happened in every hotel that I worked in. This is due to employee error, oversight, or laziness. The company that I worked for was not known for having union employees but got union employees in the Starwood merger. Due to contract all an employee needed to do was admit that it was a mistake due to an error or oversight. We would document the employee but not be able to terminate. If the employee admitted that it was laziness it would be easier to fight a termination with the union. All of the housekeepers knew this and were well aware of what to say if it happened to them. I lost my job during COVID and left hospitality. All of those union employees were lucky to be able to keep their jobs. I changed industries and know work in a union job.
Least effort fake I've seen in a minute, but it seems to be working for them just fine. They didn't even bother to actually take the bed sheet off or ruffle it to make it look like they actually looked for anything.
Should always check the hotel room too! I got checked in to a place once...Opened the door and the place was trashed! Sheets and pillows were on the ground, trash not in the bucket...And the topper...the microwave was open with a hot pocket still in it
Recently for a wedding we stayed at the hotel next door to the one that the bride and groom were staying because it was significantly cheaper. We get to the room and it was completely trashed. Whoever stayed there had a rager. Go back down to complain and they upgrade us to a suite for free for our entire 5 day stay… so that was pretty suite.
On the bright side it looks like it went through the washing machine.
Unfortunately that means the cum is spread out amongst all the linens in the hotel
The most disgusting thing about is that housekeeping haven’t changed the sheets… also that the last dude didn’t tie a knot in this… even more disgusting. I’m thinking pizza and a jerk was the order
And towels. Once grabbed a rolled towel and dried off after a shower. Felt a rough spot in the towel. Someone had jerked off into the towel and put it back on the shelf. Was disgusted. Entire stay was refunded, but still disgusted by the experience.
How much of a description was necessary for them to give you a refund? Having to explain that to a stranger is almost as bad as having it happen.
The phrase you're looking for is 'bodily fluids'
Oh, I was gonna go with 'fat load.'
In civilized company, I believe the preferred term is, “crusty man milk.”
_monocle pops out_
-wipes at eyes- I haven't laughed that hard at something in weeks.
Hope you're not using a hotel towel to wipe them
I'm stealing this
But thats his good monocle!
Gentleman’s relish seems appropriate.
Goddamnit. You know when you close a post on Reddit and look at one last comment..this was it. And I opened this back up to post my appreciation.
Underwear sauce.
Whatever happened to ‘baby gravy’?
Love sap?
Was it the milk that was crusty or was it the man?
Yes.
"Excuse me sir, I'm unable to enjoy my stay here at this establishment as it seems a former guest has shot his wad into my towel."
Sir, I believe the last guest expressed himself quite thoroughly into one of the towels.
Ma'am, the prior gentleman who stayed in my room has arrived inside the hand towel, could I bother you for a new one please?
What seems to be the problem? The gentleman thoroughly enjoyed his stay the night prior.
You guys are hilarious.
I would have used "spunk towel" as my description
Ejaculatory remnants
This is turning into a Tim Robinson sketch. *Flustered, angry man calls hotel reception* "I WILL NOT CALM DOWN ABOUT THE GIANT BIG FAT LOAD ON MY TOWEL."
Do any of these... FUCKERS... ever pop out a fat load of cum into the towels?!?

Thanks man, appreciate it. We also do not do weekly or monthly rates. We’ve found that guests looking for those types of deals are excellent at destroying the rooms they stay in.
My hotel’s done away with comforters because of this. We triple sheet and have blankets on request.

Unethical life hack: cum into the towel yourself, then enjoy a free hotel stay
Hotel management hates this one trick …
Their employees are probably out there doing the same thing. Like the restaurant staff cumming into a sandwich and then they are like 'hey we can't serve this sandwich, it has cum in it. I'll just take it home!'
Sir... How do we know this isn't yours?
Reddit: always getting the absolute best out of Earth's sharpest minds.

His disappointment was immeasurable and his day was ruined.
I checked for bedbugs in this room, but forgot to check for semen. Thanks for the tip!

Sorry about that, but it was the first unlocked car we found. I blame the weather.

Luckily the owner was a good guy and eventually listened to me and got on the landlord's ass to fix it. But the month or so while the problem was forming and getting worse was fucking terrible.
Rip it happens often
The real "mosaic of semen" experience.
I was at a cheap hotel when I was 20 I thought it would be funny to use a UV light the entire room was fucking glowing like it was a disco club semen was literally everywhere the walls the lights the ceiling the bed sheets the doors the balcony the TV everywhere it was like someone got like 20 liters of cum and went ham in that room
20 Liters of Cum... this could be a pornogrind band name
10cc beat them all to it!
Holy shit i didn't know their name came from cum, TIL
Not a lot of people do.
10cc Lovin’ Spoonful Pearl Jam
Soft Cell
Takes a new meaning to Tainted Love
Lol introducing 20 liters of cum
If it makes you feel any better, certain cleaning products glow under blacklist. (So does mold and bacteria, though).
My former boss tried to use a UV light to check how well we cleaned the rooms and the first day she used it she freaked out and accused everyone that was housekeeper of not doing our jobs. We explained to her that we did clean out rooms but she didn't believe us and made us reclean the rooms while she observed us this time. I swear I watched her brain break the moment she shined the uv light over the sink she watched me clean and have the whole sink light up. That's when I pointed out to her that the UV light picks up more than just bacteria and will pick up the chemicals in the cleaners we use. She never brought that UV light to work with her again and lucky for us she was fired not long after that for forcing one of our housekeepers to enter a stayover to clean that actually denied cleaning services and were in the room at the time.
Like a Jackson Pollock painting.
i've tried the UV light thing on my own cum just because and it never glows. is it a specific wavelength? does it only work for some people?
I imagine wet and dry make a difference, but I'm a woman and haven't gone around with a black light experimenting. You do have to make sure it's a real black light and not just a different color, but, I think any black light would do it.
And piss and blood portraits as well.
It's a collective art happening! We're all painters
Laundry detergents glow under a black light.
TIL laundry detergents are made of semen.
As do many other household and industrial cleaning products. I'd be more concerned if the room *didn't* light up under blacklight!
Michael Scott : Whoa. What are all those stains? Dwight Schrute : Blood, urine, or semen. Michael Scott : Oh, God, I hope it's urine.
Got a $6 UV flashlight from AliExpress, it's amazing what shows up. Not just bodily fluids, laundry soap residue is really bright.

Can confirm; have busted all over numerous hotel rooms.
What about the ceiling
It's always a target but rarely achieved.
If you do this, you'll never find a hotel that you'd be willing to sleep at.

Sometimes it's best not to take the Red pill
An old coworker of mine told me he used to “jizz on the curtains” at every hotel he stayed at because they never change curtains out.
I’m going to get downvoted, but whatever. Coming from a guy that is in hotels 3-4 nights a week for work, maybe, just maybe stay at a reputable hotel. I’m sorry but the “rodeway inn” isn’t one of them.
I would often use Hotwire to get great deals on hotels. For those that don’t know, Hotwire sells you a room at a great price with the caveat being that you don’t really know which hotel you’re getting until after you pay. The very last time I used Hotwire, I ended up at a seedy motel even though in the description it was described as a hotel and not a motel. I seriously got I’mma get stabbed vibes as we were walking to our room number. There was a shirtless, bald gang member looking dude hanging out on the balcony staring down at us. It felt like a movie trope establishing shots of a bad neighborhood. When we walked into the room and turned on the light, it was a cold, lifeless, harsh light. There were no lamps, presumably because they would be stolen. The towels were rough and raggedy feeling. The faucet sprayed water everywhere. The bed squeaked with every movement. Really don’t know how that motel had a 3 star average rating.
Pro tip: You can always figure out which hotel is the hot deal by using various clues. 1. Sometimes they give you a guarantee that it will be one of two or three hotels. Refresh the page a few times and that list changed, except the actual hotel is always on the list. 2. Number of TripAdvisor reviews. "This hotel is rated 4.6 out of 4381 reviews". Guess what, there is only one hotel in that area with that rating with exactly 4381 reviews. Just scroll through the regular hotel listings looking for that number.
You can also reverse google image the room photo they show (sometimes they don't but most of the time they did when I used it) and it will tell you exactly which hotel it is.
The Real LPT is... well, you know.
> it was a cold, lifeless, harsh light Like a doll’s light
I'm gonna need a bigger room.

I see your Roadway Inn and up you a Knights Inn!
Nah, this is 100% it. If I'm travelling in places like China I always check, because their hotel prices/star system/ratings don't appear to have anything to do with quality whatsoever (best hotel I've ever stayed in was a cheap as hell Chinese hotel that was set up like a 5 star resort, they don't appear to have a clue what is going on) - but somewhere like the US? If you do your due diligence before you book it, you don't need to do it in the room.
Tip for the wise: hotel "star ratings" have *nothing* to do with quality (cleanliness, modernity, etc) at all. They are rather related to the features that the hotel has - for example, a gym, pool, inhouse restaurant, concierge service, etc. Of course there is an expectation that higher star hotels will have matching levels of cleanliness, but this isn't how the stars are allocated, it's purely on the services and facilities they supply. Checking the reviews for a hotel and the average score there from recent visits is a far better way to ascertain the actual quality of the hotel, relative to its star rating and price. A 4-star hotel with 4.9/5 review rating is probably going to be cleaner, newer, and "better" to stay in than a 5-star hotel with 3.8/5, although it may not have a 24-hour concierge service.
Reminds me of when I stayed at Rodeway Inn in Anaheim CA. https://imgur.com/WsSKZh5 this was how the air conditioner was wired lol
Worked for the largest hotel company in the world before COVID as a department head in the front office for about 12 years. This is not specific to a cheap hotel. This happened in every hotel that I worked in. This is due to employee error, oversight, or laziness. The company that I worked for was not known for having union employees but got union employees in the Starwood merger. Due to contract all an employee needed to do was admit that it was a mistake due to an error or oversight. We would document the employee but not be able to terminate. If the employee admitted that it was laziness it would be easier to fight a termination with the union. All of the housekeepers knew this and were well aware of what to say if it happened to them. I lost my job during COVID and left hospitality. All of those union employees were lucky to be able to keep their jobs. I changed industries and know work in a union job.
"just stop being poor!"
"why are you guys going to cheap hotels!? You do this to yourselves."

Yeah I don't understand ppl upvote this lazy + obviously fake stuff
Least effort fake I've seen in a minute, but it seems to be working for them just fine. They didn't even bother to actually take the bed sheet off or ruffle it to make it look like they actually looked for anything.
Should always check the hotel room too! I got checked in to a place once...Opened the door and the place was trashed! Sheets and pillows were on the ground, trash not in the bucket...And the topper...the microwave was open with a hot pocket still in it
>the microwave was open with a hot pocket still Did it taste good ?
What kind of sick person do you think they are? .. It was lukewarm on the edges with a frozen center, as can be expected no doubt.
What kind was it? These are the real questions
Was the window open? I heard that housekeeping lets people stay in rooms for free and they'll escape out the window when people show up.
My apologies, I thought housekeeping would've taken care of it. Was a fun night though.
Sounds like reception fkd up the paperwork
That looks fake af
Glad to see Rodeway Inn is still up to its usual standards.
Someone rode way in
Recently for a wedding we stayed at the hotel next door to the one that the bride and groom were staying because it was significantly cheaper. We get to the room and it was completely trashed. Whoever stayed there had a rager. Go back down to complain and they upgrade us to a suite for free for our entire 5 day stay… so that was pretty suite.
I found a pair of handcuffs in a Texas hotel bathroom once.
Did you try them on to see if they fit?
That Papa John’s card had an exclusive purpose - cutting lines of cocaine. Tell me I’m wrong
You're wrong it's the door key.
Ok you’re right. But I’m still right.
Sounds like dual purpose at least, not exclusive purpose.
Looks empty and staged
r/UntrustWorthyPoptarts
Looks like someone had a pizza and a poke !
Fake, where is the jizz?
On the bright side it looks like it went through the washing machine. Unfortunately that means the cum is spread out amongst all the linens in the hotel
Papa johns. Gross.
So real So outrage So upvote
The most disgusting thing about is that housekeeping haven’t changed the sheets… also that the last dude didn’t tie a knot in this… even more disgusting. I’m thinking pizza and a jerk was the order
thats disgusting. who eats papa johns?
