From mirrors placed directly opposite toilets to surprise guests showing up in your room, travelers have seen it all. During one trip to Thailand, a woman discovered that her \u201cromantic canopy bed\u201d was actually protection against giant bugs. After nearly fainting at the sight of a tarantula above the toilet, she spent the rest of the night wide awake under her tightly sealed mosquito net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On another trip, a businessman found an unexpected roommate\u2014a cat lounging in the sink of his hotel bathroom. The cat refused to leave, acting like the room\u2019s true owner, so the man gave up and lived with his feline companion for three days. In Spain, another couple couldn\u2019t escape a mysterious stench in their friends\u2019 luxury penthouse. Only on the last day did they discover a month-old roasted chicken wrapped in foil and hidden between comforters\u2014an unforgettable, if disgusting, mystery solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One woman ignored hotel rules and went swimming after 5 p.m. Her husband warned her not to, but she went anyway.
