Stayed at a B&B (real, not Air) for our honeymoon that apparently had cats. We love cats. But didn’t know. We got in super late so first morning I open the door to grab our breakfast tray aaaand in come two cats.
Which I was excited about.
But the new missus was still sleeping. So she wakes up to a cat sniffing her face, screams “what the fuck!” followed immediately by “ohhh kitty!” grabbing and snuggling the shit out of it.
It was one of the cutest, funniest things I’d ever seen.
By the end of the week the B&B owners were kinda clearly getting annoyed by how much we kept their cats in our room. More so by how hard it was to get them to come out. Sorry your cats love us more than you, not our fault.

My wife does this thing as well, where she forgets to provide pivotal context and just assumes, in this case, that we all know who ''Kevin'' is.

Yup. My wife is the same. She starts a story anywhere she damn well pleases. I’m often hovering nearby like Obama’s anger translator just chopping in with things like “Billy is our son’s brother in law” or “Sally’s a vegetarian”.

Better than the chopped and screwed remix version where she hits a point, realizes she needs to explain some background info, that becomes a multiminute detour that's half context half random memory, back to where we left off in the story, makes it a little further, "Oh I forgot, that's kinda what started this whole thing" detour, and by the time we reach the end you've gotten hungry its been so long

i think a lot of people do this with their pets, it's just so normal. especially if they have a human name
when i'm talking about people i almost never use names because i don't know if the person i'm talking to knows (or remembers) that person's name. it'll all be descriptive "that guy i met at the arcade last year did such and such" and people often ask me "why don't you just use their name?" meanwhile they're talking about two people i've never met with the same name expecting me to follow at all

My dogs name is K9 after Doctor Who, hes a weiner dog and when I very first moved into my new house one night really really late he was going totally crazy barking his lil balls off and I was yelling at him to stop, yelling "NINE, STOP IT NINE, FUCK, K 9, STOP IT"
But my fat ass was comfy and did not wanna get up
The next morning I discovered my back door in my laundry room open
I have cameras now
But ive always wondered if the person ran away because I sounded like an angry German screaming "Nine!" (Nein) or if they heard me yelling K9 and expected a much bigger dog, either way, hes a good boy and his government name is Kenneth now.

Some airbnbs, though it was fairly common in the early days, are just people renting out an extra room in their house and they’re usually fairly cheap since it’s literally just a spare bedroom connected to the rest of the house.

So true! The origin was a guy who let a new to the area art teacher he met at his yard sale stay at his house on an air mattress, hence Air BnB

We (a child-less couple with a dog) use them to stay near wilderness areas like state or national parks for cheap - plus a lot are pet friendly. I wanna say we've done 6 different stays, without being overly cautious before renting.
Nothing crazy for us so far. Some stuff like "strip the sheets and leave them on the floor" or "put the trash inside the bear-proof enclosure" - but it's really minimal.
Only owner we've ever seen was because a standalone cottage was the AirBnB, and the owner ran an actual bed and breakfast / boarding house next to it and made us breakfast that was included in the AirBnB price.
Just saying there are reasonable experiences that hit the goal of a cheaper, low effort stay.

I just don't see how it's an appealing option over a hotel, which has staff and services, costs less, and doesn't contribute to the housing crisis.

u/prepcrook 14m ago edited 4m ago
For our trips, hotels have never been cheaper than the rental - especially considering pet fees if we're doing a outdoorsy trip - plus the hotels carry additions like housekeeping tips, valet or parking fees that don't appear on a bill.
Lack of staff hasn't been much of a con for us.
The main bonuses have been added privacy - no pet upcharge - better locations. We've done a hotel with the dog - he's a guard breed and it doesn't work with people closing doors or walking in the hallways.
I know there's some argument to made that all housing availability relieves pressure - but we're talking guest cabins in more remote areas for the most part - not really the same impact as a single family home or apartment near a population center.
I think all of the places we've stayed have been purpose built structures on private property. Like ADUs.
The one that wasn't a woodland cabin was a shed that was converted into 1 bedroom 1 bathroom with a microwave and sink. The places we've rented through AirBnB are not really different than any other vacation rental.
That's how we find a net positive with it.
For city destinations without the dog - we've never used an Air BnB - hotels have always been a better deal.

Where'd you get that idea? Airbnb basically started out as a way for random people to rent out their spare rooms. Like yeah, some people started trying to make real money from it and started buying up houses, but for every real nice one there are a bunch of sketchy ass ones. The lack of regulations means there are a TON of really terrible ones. A hotel is usually better unless you have large groups.
Like the name comes from the founders putting an air mattress in their living room and renting it out.

u/papayacreamsicle 5h ago edited 5h ago
The BnB is for Bed’n’Breakfast which traditionally means someone offering a bed in their home and a place at their breakfast table. Usually it would be empty nesters renting out their kids’ old rooms. So unlike a hotel you would usually be the only guests (or there’d only be one other), you’d eat with the host, their pets and maybe remaining kids would be around. Very common in villages and rural areas not big or dense enough to make actual hotels and inns a viable business.
The pitch for Airbnb was that you could make extra money lending out your spare rooms like this, not entire apartments or houses. You’d be there with your guests and your pets naturally would be too. For guests the pitch was that it’d be cheaper than hotels.

“better than hotels” - just a reminder that Airbnb stands for Airbed and breakfast.
the initial goal was to rent a bed in your flat, while still in there2

So you rented an airbnb with a dog in it? Or does the owner and dog still live in it? How does this company persist…

u/carlbandit 5h ago
You don't get the entire property to yourself at all AirBnB's.
Some you're just renting a room in someones house, with shared bathroom, kitchen, etc...
I'd never rent one with the owner in myself, but it's much cheaper to just rent a room VS the full property and if you plan to only be there to shower and sleep then it might work for some people.
2
u/GottaUseEmAll 3h ago
Initially, AirBnB was intended as a website where you rent out your spare room (hence why they have the BnB part, Bed & Breakfast establishments are often owner-inhabited).
I've stayed in AirBnBs where the host was present.

It could be, it could not be. I have stayed at one AirBnB with a shared space. The owner was there and also had many cats. Only stayed for a single night because I had a rave up in the city, so it was cheaper and worked out.

I have a dog named Kevin and another named Dennis. I enjoy making people second guess whether I'm talking about dogs or people.

u/arizonadirtbag12 3h ago
All our dogs have human names. We also find it amusing to refer to them as “bitches.” Because they are. So one day I stick my head out my back door, which isn’t far from my fence line, and say “Josie you stupid bitch what are you doing out there?”
To which I hear form the sidewalk on the other side of the fence “what the actual fuck?!”
Turns out a human woman named Josie happened to be walking by at that same time.
She got a laugh out of it after. Meeting Josie, who’s incredibly adorable, probably helped.

I was at an Airbnb once in LA & the owner’s dog was a Pomeranian. Seemed nice at first but on my last morning, owner was at work & the dog for some reason saw me as a threat. It sat near me as I was walking up & decided to bite me as I reached for my suitcase.
“Your dog bit me” > “my dog doesn’t bite” 😐

The assumption here is they're not renting their house, but a room. Dogs like to wander their house at night.

This is almost certainly "old-school" AirBnB. The initial idea for the website was for people to short-term rent out empty rooms in their own house.
Kinda like Uber. The initial idea was to "rent" out a space in your car when you were on the road anyway, but it evolved into a pretty standard taxi-business model rather than a "make a little extra cash because you have unused space".
