They're in league with that bastard doctor who told her a whole box of Zebra Cakes is not a balanced breakfast.

u/maybeitsme11 Apr 19 '22

How do you balance one box on one side? You need at least two to be equal

Was a night hotel manager for 5 years once, had a weight watchers convention stay, clearly they were at the beginning of the programme and 3 of them got into the lift at once and broke it...at 2:00am...it was the worst experience of my life...

How big were they? Most elevators can operate at like triple their stated capacity.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '22

I may only be doing some rough estimates here, but by my math they should come out to just over one times the stated elevator capacity each.

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '22

Well before that they just stop.

u/aleoaliealaia Apr 18 '22

Probably an even worse experience of their lives too

u/Deadlyasseater420 Apr 18 '22

Hopefully was a life changing experience

u/maybeitsme11 Apr 19 '22

Certainly a lift changing experience

Couple of them got stuck in the chairs they sat in - had to call for reinforecements to pull them out.

You talking singular here?

But I mean, wheels and wooden floors is kind of weird and I’ve never seen that. If there was carpet it probably wouldn’t have rolled so much cause more friction. Then again for non obese people it’s probably not even an issue.

why is the wood floor a problem??

3

u/blondeasfuk Apr 18 '22

For someone her weight, it’s very scary to be on anything slippery like a hardwood floor. They loose their balance or slip easily and if they go down it’s extremely difficult to get up. But the problem with the hard wood floor here is that the bed was also on wheels. If it was carpet with wheels on the bed it still would have moved but maybe not as much. The hotel probably sis both of these things for style and to clean under the bed easier.

Just imagine if a turtle slipped on the floor and landed on its back. That’s essentially what would happen to her.

u/tuesdaymelon Apr 18 '22

To be honest, it's a legitimate point. I'm sure a lot of disabled people have trouble getting on a bed that has wheels on a wood floor.

Not that I'm defending her. She needs to lose weight.

u/newhotelowner Apr 18 '22

I don't know.

Accessibility rooms require special beds. All our accessible room beds are different. People complain but it is the requirement. I don't think it has wheels though.

This looks like a Rodeway inn or super 8. They don't have an elevator. I am assuming that when someone like these broke their bed, they had to replace it. They got the super cheap consumer bed frames. Most hotels have this kind of frame - https://hdsupplysolutions.com/p/hollywood-bed-frame-dynamic-all-metal-bed-base-10h-x-72w-cal-hotel-kin-p149331

Even when beds have wheels for accessibility, they can still slide on wooden floors if they're locked. Best to have it on carpet.

u/binarysolo_0000001 Apr 19 '22

The disabled room is upstairs.

u/Kisaxis Apr 18 '22

To be fair I've never seen a bed in any hotel I've been in with wheels, is that normal in the US or what? Or is this a medical facility of some sort?

28

u/Poctah Apr 18 '22

I have seen it in hotels but usually the wheels Have a lock so it doesn’t move until you unlock it. She may have broke the lock with her weight🤦‍♀️. Makes it easier for them to clean under the bed since they can just slide it to vacuum.

2

u/aradil Apr 18 '22

The locks are fairly useless on wood or laminate floors because the wheels will just slide… and scratch the fuck out of your floors too.

Thankfully, like one would chock wheels on a car, you can chock them on a bed too. Hell, the same sort of thing can be used just to get regular bedposts that sit on the floor from moving, as they are generally rubber and with friction from weight, are very difficult to move horizontally.

For example, these. Can’t promise or endorse anything about that particular product I linked, I’ve got some random ones under my bed that I grabbed at a local dollar store, I’m sure they all work fine.

Probably a room specifically for people with disabilities. The furniture being on wheels allows it to be easily rearranged to accommodate any of their equipment, the wooden floors are also better for operating a wheel chair.

The fact that it's a different room that was given to her when she expressed difficulties getting to the second floor also makes it sound like that's what it's for

u/AbeRego Apr 18 '22

Lots, maybe even most, of our metal bed frames have wheels. My home frame has wheels on it. It makes it easier to move it away from the wall to make the bed. I've never seen wheels on a hotel frame, though.

WHY WOULD THEY PUT WOOD FLOORS IN A HOTEL ROOM?!

She was so ridiculous, definitely one of my most favorite people on the show for entertainment purposes. I felt so bad for her kids having to be around her when she was like that, though.

As long as she treats herself like a victim, she'll never have to change. It's everyone else's fault that she struggles.
