The cost range of my hotels usually means that those hangars have loops at the top not hooks, and can't be removed from the closet

Even the ones with hoops instead of hooks can be removed (in my experience, anyway). Super awkward otherwise.
I believe I did stay at one property where they weighed cost of the inconvenience as lower than the cost of the theft - completely locked to the rod
Bring a set of tools and take the hangers and the rod too, just for spite
Just one simple trick. Hotel owners hate this.
Usually in a place that classy it's so you can't hang yourself.
It worked
This has been my experience as well
Keep a couple clothespins/binder clips in your bag?
I don't always carry my BDSM kit with me though. Sometimes a business trip is only a business trip.
You're clearly in the wrong field, then ;p

I've also always thought that was a cost/theft issue, but I wonder if its also to prevent people from trying to use the hook-type hangers from hanging things from fire suppression sprinkler heads.
Good point. I recently stayed somewhere with a bolted sign by the sprinkler heads that said not to hang anything on them, lol. Makes me think it happens...a lot.
Just bring a pair of side cutters with you. Snip snip and you’re good to go!
Much simpler than bringing a clothespin. Or binder clip.
Bring one with you. Or a binder clip, bag clip, etc etc

Just overlap the curtains?
many hotels cheap out and have crappy curtains that are designed in such a way that it can't be overlapped
Blast! Cut off at the pass.
It was a solid effort.
which means they also don't have cloth hangers with clips so you need to pack one each time...
I’m traveling right now and will do this when I get back to my hotel.
Let us know you're ok afterwards
I’m starting to get nervous something went wrong
Clamped it around his neck, seen this tragedy a dozen times
Lets just sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here

I am not really sure what's going on in this picture
They used a hanger to keep closed those useless curtains that are in a lot of hotels.

I travel with a couple of binder clips for exactly this reason. I never thought of using a hanger with clips though!
The best hotel room hack I know lets you unlock the AC so you can get some actual cool air.
Wow, saving this video. Thanks!

Done this many times. It helps so much when you don't need to be up at the crack of dawn.
Great tip! My biggest issue is usually that the curtains themselves barely block any light. Light leaking between them tends to be a secondary issue.
Yo, isn't that from Amazon's Reacher? S1E?
I don't know what's going on in the image.
They're using the clip on a hangar to hold some curtains shut, I think? I guess a certain type of curtains hotels like to buy has a tendency to not quite close the gap completely?
I've never needed this. But I feel like those for witch this is mind blowing could also have paid a couple of bucks for a clamp from the hardware store and put that in their luggage.
why do that when those are there for free and hardly used? I guess it is better to have your own clamps, in case the particular hotel you might be staying at has different types of hangers that don't have clamps.
Yes everyone remembers the niche circumstance-specific irritation when they get back home, especially those who hotel infrequently.
This is a cool tip, and I appreciate it.
