According to my son, cell phone charges are the most left behind items in hotels. So if yours happens to break or you lose it, just drive to your local hotel and say you spent the night last night and left it in one of the rooms. Chances are they have a box full of cell phone cords just waiting for their owners and you are bound to find one that fits yours.
Mobile phone charges are hitting an all time high!
Have you had a look at my blog… Seen anything that interests you. It is growing week by week! Look forward to seeing you there!
You are the most clever of people! I never go anywhere, so not likely to leave my cell phone cord, but just these tips help me look at my life differently. I’ve like being thrifty!
I absolutely love to exchange thrifty tips. Even if I can’t use them all, it gets the creative juices flowing, don’t you think? Do you wash and re-use your ziploc bags?
Hahaha that’s brilliant. And you wouldn’t even look silly if they didn’t have “your” charger, because you could just go with the old “Ah, sorry, I guess I must have lost it then” excuse.
Some people leave books behind in hotels too, which could be a good way of getting a free book
I bet the books that are left behind in hotels are fabulous. Especially at some posh hotel like the Hilton where some Millionaire left behind his secret book of wealth and success. I’ve got to get my hands on that one.
Good luck finding that book, if you shared a few of the tips on a website, which you have to pay to enter, you could make an even bigger fortune lol
All I ever found in a hotel was a thick book by some bloke called Gideon …
lol
advice to live by
I love your bangs, so cute, very rockabilly.
I just nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. You can see it here : http://jldweb.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/one-lovely-blog-award/
Missed you for a while! Great to see you again
This is so true. We left our charger at our hotel in Ocean City this past summer.
Can you guest post on my blog? I just wrote a post titled ‘Be frugal if you want to become a millionaire’ and it made me think of you!
Brilliant idea. I’ve left a phone charger in a hotel room. Good job my husband’s charger fitted mine. I will remember your little tip!
Ditto for gas caps at service stations. (Can you believe they still call them service stations? I suppose self-service station wouldn’t attract much business.)
What a great idea!
Hm, very careful before I leave a hotel. I have never left anything in them. Did take a key card with me once and had to mail it back.

The hotel made you send back the key card? How rude. I stayed at this one with an advertisement for a nearby pizza hut. I think that pizza hut bought the cards in exchange for advertising. I still have that card. I sure do hope I didn’t leave anything behind because they might be holding it hostage until I send their key card back.
This was years ago. I think they did. Hmm. Don’t know for sure. Anyway, I lay things out pretty carefully so that I don’t leave anything and I check just before I walk out the door.

HAHAHA Awesome post.
Out of the mouths of babes: pure imaginative logic.
To your son:
Nice work young sir! Keep ‘em coming.
Brilliant! With all the hotels we have in NYC, I’m bound to find the right charger!
lol I will have to remember that!
But….I wonder would they give you a hard time just for the heck of it. It just might work.
Your son is a total genius and totally right, but you know it is not only hotels, could you believe I once entered a phone shop to recharge my account and I forgot my bag there!!!
My son left his cell phone on a commuter train. We went to ask about it and they pulled out a BOX of cell phones. The man said to pick one and take it. None of them were fancy, but they all worked! We just chose one that my kid liked and left. The train guy was glad to get rid of one of the phones.
Having worked in housekeeping, I can attest to phone and camera chargers being the things I most often brought to the lost and found!
Priceless! Keep on going.
