#projectratfuck

In my never endng search to end my boredom I have started #projectratfuck

I woke up this morning at about 4AM and started jut screwing around on the internet. About 5AM I started to get hungry but I didn't really want to make breakfast. I really didn't want to go to one of the diners in my area I frequent either. This is where #projectratfuck took form. Many hotels offer complimnetary breakfast. After a quick internet search I saw that The Holiday Inn Express only 2 miles from me offered such a gem. #projectratfuck 's wheels were in motion. I walked in the backdoor and just headed to the breakfast area. The net results? A free newspaper, scrambled eggs, bacon, home firies, a bagel with cream cheese, Fruit Loops, milk, and orange juice. I also snagged some milk, yougurt, and a banana for work later today. All costing not one penny for me. The people working there were also very nice, talkative, and smiley. It was great! They also had a nice fireplace and a widescreen tv. Overall a very nice ambience.

After such an experience, I wonder how much free food and stuff I can get? This is #projectratfuck

Tomorrow morning I plan on visiting another hotel for breakfast. I invite everyone else to join the #projectratfuck movement.

Can't do. First rule of #projectratfuck is to not do anything that will get you arrested.

Free stuff rocks. Good thinking there.

I've often wondered about this before if people ever just come in and get a free breakfast. Seems like there's hardly ever anybody even paying attention at the front desk and even if there is someone there they probably don't care. So have you planned what you're going to say if you get caught?

I haven't. I'll just play it by ear and hope for the best.

They don't take what's not theirs...they don't compare...

Funny premise, could make for a funny documentary to see the breakfast crew's reaction. I'd feel guilty. Maybe take a homeless person along with you, so there's some noble element and I bet you'll find some support here

thievery. it's this kind of nonsense that affects wages of those on the bottom of the ladder.

DS1119

Wow. Lot of judges already. Love it.

Oh please...people do this sort of thing all the time. We host trainings and events with free food...and random people...mostly faculty and administrators...will wander by and take food that is meant for the students and paid for out of their student fees. At least DS admits his own #ratfuckery Not that I'm condoning it unless you get me those Jimmy Choos :wave:

See the thing is (and I agree with you), there is something that every person does everyday for themselves that costs other people either their money, time, convenience, etc. every single day whether intentional and/or realized or not. It's usually the people who are the most vocal judging others so they don't have to be judged who are the worst offenders. I'm doing this for fun and I encourage others to join #projectratfuck .

Snakeduck

The OP wins hands-down... Oh wait, this is supposed to be a project not a contest. My bad.

nope, sorry, I don't take things that aren't mine. your "whoever smelt it dealt it" claim doesn't hold any water.

OK. Then don't do it.

twisted thoughts

I approve this message :thumbup:

People do this shit all the time... Just try to switch up what hotel you go to each day to avoid suspicion. When suspicions arise, just say your in room 205. You'll be done eating and long gone before they figure out you're not.

Can we get a review on the breakfast?

And +1 to bringing a homeless person with you. Gotta even out karma somehow

My contribution: I left the work bathroom yesterday with an empty roll of toilet paper. (I swear, Im always the one getting shafted w/ the empty roll!). Its only a small contribution, I know... But I'll work on that in light of your #projectratfuck movement DS

Yeah bitch! #projectratfuck

around the end of last semester we had a major storm come through and knocked out our power for like 3 days. after one day we were losing our fridge and freezer stuff. we used to have access to a fridge/freezer in the office, but it got moved into a locked room. so basically we had rotting food, no way to heat it, and most close restaurants were closed. however, towson had graduation parties with catered food for administrators. once they are finished the food just sits there and gets tossed (much like breakfast food at a hotel). so grabbed some and didn't feel too bad. if it were a student party paid by students i'd prolly feel a bit different.

I might consider it, but only if Sawyer's daddy was the hotel owner.

Coffee actually smelled quite good. Nature's Harvest or Season's Harvest or something like that.

yeah better to eat it than to throw it away. I know a certain student (won't mention any names ) who went for weeks without buying food on campus cause he would stake out all the events with free food, casually stroll by and take some. We've gone on secret missions ourselves to embezzle coffee...I mean sometimes a girl just needs her caffeine :shifty:

i've yet to have good hotel coffee....from the dumpy econlodge, to holiday inn express, to the hilton or to the scottsdale plaza and resort. seems like hotels buy the cheapest coffee on the market or they do a super piss poor job of brewing it.

After a quick internet search I saw that The Holiday Inn Express only 2 miles from me offered such a gem. #projectratfuck 's wheels were in motion. I walked in the backdoor and just headed to the breakfast area. The net results? A free newspaper, scrambled eggs, bacon, home firies, a bagel with cream cheese, Fruit Loops, milk, and orange juice. I also snagged some milk, yougurt, and a banana for work later today. All costing not one penny for me. The people working there were also very nice, talkative, and smiley. It was great! They also had a nice fireplace and a widescreen tv. Overall a very nice ambience.

that would be funny if someone took your pic from the group hug thread...and faxed it to all the local hotels with a copy of this thread... :corn:
