Mumbai Hotel’s Odd Hack To Stop Guests From Stealing Slippers Is Hilarious

International news
Mumbai hotel came up with a clever hack to stop guests from walking away with bathroom slippers.

Most of us can’t resist taking home complimentary toiletries and other freebies from hotels, right? While it’s not about being a thief, many guests unknowingly cross the line between collecting and stealing, assuming that paying for the room grants them ownership of everything inside. To tackle this habit in a humorous way, a Mumbai hotel came up with a clever hack to stop guests from walking away with bathroom slippers.

An X (formerly Twitter) user recently shared a photo of a quirky hotel hack to prevent slipper theft. The image showed a mismatched pair of flip-flops—one in olive green and the other in orangish brown—placed neatly outside a bathroom door. The hotel’s clever idea ensures that while guests can use the slippers during their stay, they won’t be tempted to take them home. The caption hilariously noted, “This Bombay hotel provides bathroom slippers. But to ensure people don’t flick them, they provide mismatched pairs."
