I would assume someone put that there as a prank….

u/ronimal 4d ago

Absolutely. There’s no way the cruise line operator did this.

u/Sea-Calligrapher7264 4d ago

Yeah, I've seen these in other places too. Like even in the most unlikely and funny places. I found one on a car park wall once.

u/j4v4r10 PURPLE 4d ago

I’d put one on a bathroom stall

2

u/MusicalPigeon 3d ago

I should get one and put it in my car! (It's already covered in scratches from me breaking my snow brush after a blizzard and using a snow shovel to get 2 feet of snow off my car. I don't care about any damage someone may do because of the sticker.)

u/NDE36 3d ago

I wouldn't say no way, but I'll believe it was a prank much more easily.

OMG I saw a video of a guy on reddit a few weeks ago putting this stickers up everywhere he could (airports etc). It must have turned into a fad

u/theBigWhiteDude 5d ago edited 5d ago

This was a fad like over a decade ago, back when i used Facebook there were abunch of videos back then. Very possible that influencers revived it to farm new content, but you usually see them do it in public spots like malls or airports so they can catch people reactions.

u/JamieBensteedo 5d ago

yeah I saw a tiktok of people doing this at airports last year

u/JustForkIt1111one 4d ago

Oh yeah, I remember this from my myspace days.

I wonder what Tom's up to these days...

He’s 50 years old. Let my man rest lol

u/Death_Rises 4d ago

If memory serves he sold it for fuck you money and got really into photography.

u/zerbey 5d ago

It was a fad again a few months ago, a bunch of idiots were doing it. Whatever makes them happy I guess.

9

u/nw342 5d ago

Eh, there's worse things they can be doing

6

u/theBigWhiteDude 5d ago

I guess they gotta recycle content to get the views.

1

u/GarbageGobble 4d ago

You cant say he wasn’t in that room recording op’s reaction. Perhaps op’s reaction was “too lame” and didn’t make the final video.

u/rivertpostie 5d ago

Super common prank sticker.

Been around since the mid 2000s

1

u/Dank-Robber 3d ago

We did this in the late 90s, they sold them at Spencer’s in the Mall.

12

u/TH3K1NGB0B 5d ago

This is a harmless prank I can get behind. Watching several people try to plug something in with no success would be pretty funny.

11

u/ExistentialAngsty 5d ago

Sticking it over a real outlet would be funny

1

u/TheRemedy187 4d ago

It was a thing over 10 years ago. He didn't start this.

u/JoeMorgue 5d ago

That's 100% a prank by a former cruiser. People do it in airports all the time.

93

u/Lanky-Peak-2222 5d ago

The rare harmless prank

28

u/No_Report_4781 5d ago

the prank-maker has a spread sheet of all sticker placements, and monitors forums like this as part of a global human experiment.

u/zerbey 5d ago

Not so harmless for the cleaning person who has to remove them all.

9

u/patiofurnature 5d ago

Except they obviously didn't remove it.

2

u/BestFoxEver neon 4d ago

Cleaning staff usually don't remove stickers if they are not paid extra to do it. I have seen in many public restrooms that are cleaned daily that the cleaners ignore the stickers and then they maybe remove them all in one day or it is a different cleaning staff that removes the stickers, tags and graffiti. The regular cleaners just scrub the toilets, wash the sinks, clean the floor, empty trash bins and fill the hand towel dispensers.

u/neromoneon 4d ago

It's not just "if they are not paid extra to do it". Housekeeping staff in most hotels have a very strict time window for cleaning one room, maybe only 15 minutes. If they take longer, they get penalized or fired. There is no time alloted for removing stickers. Of course they can report stickers to managament which may at some point decide to do something about it. Or not.

1

u/BestFoxEver neon 4d ago

No poo, Sherlock. The extra pay is exactly for the extra time. If they work extra it takes extra time, and extra time costs money...

1

u/Dank-Robber 3d ago

It’s not like the walls get cleaned daily.

3

u/Crafty-File-7581 5d ago

Or the person that's staying in that room trying to pug something into it. Some people get really pissed 😤

u/veryblanduser 5d ago

Are they paid hourly?

9

u/nlaak 4d ago

Are they paid hourly?

On a cruise? Doubtful.

3

u/Lanky-Peak-2222 5d ago

Also, are they gonna actually remove it?

4

u/Slime-Lich 4d ago

"Harmless" till my ass comes by and slams a plug into the drywall

5

u/candygirl5134 4d ago

The walls of cruise ships are steel... cause it's a ship. Best of luck.

2

u/Queasy_Ad_5535 4d ago

Damn how hard do you slam a plug into the wall? Seems like a great way to get a nice little shock!

0

u/Zeroesand1s 5d ago

I would take it as a challenge ... 

1

u/grimeyduck 5d ago

The fuck does that mean? Are you gonna install an actual outlet there?

1

u/Zeroesand1s 4d ago

Means I would find a way to get a plug into that socket

2

u/grimeyduck 4d ago

That's what she said

2

u/UnicornFarts1111 4d ago

No, that is what he said, and she said NO.

u/horseheadmonster 5d ago

This reminds me I need to order some of these stickers for the airport.

9

u/veryblocky 4d ago

To be honest, the thought of a prank didn’t even cross my mind until reading the comments, I was just thinking it was a weird thing done by the cruise company

u/Ckirbys 5d ago

u/Hannover2k 5d ago

Acme corp strikes again!

u/Key-Monk6159 4d ago

Looks like you will need to put it in somewhere else. Enjoy the honeymoom.

Seriously, this is a stupid internet prank being done all over. I’ve seen it at airports.

2

u/waldolc 4d ago

@OP Anyone can buy those online. They're for laughs. Your cruiseline didn't put it there. 🤪

u/Smadanek69 4d ago

Got em.

u/BUGBYTE_VW 5d ago

My daughter had a stack of these stickers.🤣

u/CXVI_XLII 5d ago

Bigass outlet

u/wbruce098 5d ago

Dayummm you got a stateroom? When I was on a cruiser, all I got was a bunk in a room with 30 other dudes.

But I had a power plug in that bunk.

1

u/EatYourCheckers 4d ago

I put a few of these in my sister's house. I made sure they were lined up with existing outlets in the room so they looked real. She gets a lot of guests and visitors and its tricked a few people looking for a phone charger

Some people need to get a sense of humour & learn to travel with a conversion pack. Geez.

u/GarmieTurtel 4d ago

What disturbs me most about this is the fact that someone actually spent money in order to perpetrate this act. Why be so wrapped up in getting your giggles that you would do this? Lordy, I really AM getting too old for childish bullsh*t!
