I scored a free cell phone charger tonight

    Hey guys, I'm stuck on the road, 5 hours from home and forgot my cell phone charger. For some silly reason I decided to ask the guy at the hotel's front desk if anyone had left a charger behind...he then brought to me from the back desk a huge basket full of cell phone chargers...found a match to my old Nokia.

    So if you ever need a free charger, just run into a hilton and ask the front desk guy. hehe

    You should have asked him what else he had available. You might have scored a new laptop, a travel iron, or keys to a Corvette. :D

    Great tip! People do leave changers and other accessories and never come back for them…

    tonyrocks, you rock. Good thinking.
    Have you left any or have you heard of those things already or it just came to your mind?

    Yep, most hotels now days have a basket like that. Last hilton I was at had a huge pile of laptop and phone chargers. I needed both, but they had me write down my room number and told me they would charge me for the chargers if I didn't leave them in my room :confused: :mad: Hilton is one of the shiestiest hotel chains there is, I have a friend who works for them. Some require you have a parking pass to park in there lot, which runs about 30$ a day

    Probably a pair of boxer shorts or socks. Not that you would want to ask for those, but I did loose a sock while there.
