I put my house on Airbnb – I came home and drank a whole cup of tea, then made a gross discovery in my kettle
AN AIRBNB host made the grossest discovery in her kettle when she returned home after an extended period away.
But by the time she found out, she had already gulped down a cup of tea.
What she uncovered was the last thing she was expecting and it left her feeling both bewildered and disgusted.
Rachel Reine (@rachreine) shared her ordeal on her TikTok, and fans were equally baffled.
This lady has over 24,000 followers and another 469,000 likes and her platform remit is all about: “Wellness and healing.”
But there was little evidence of wellness in this post when she her unpleasant welcome home gift was revealed.
“I’ve had my house on Airbnb while I’ve been away for four months,” she explained.
“[I] just got back today and I found the weirdest thing,” she said.
After her sojourn of several months, she returned to her snowy North Michigan home and sought a way of getting warm quickly.
“I forgot to turn the heat up before I got here. So as soon as I arrived the first thing I did was put some water in my kettle and start it for a boil and make some tea.”
So far so normal, but things were about to take a turn for the worst.
“I was drinking that tea during a work meeting, the entire cup of tea, and it’s a herbal tea.
“I thought it tasted kind of funny but I didn’t think much of it,” she said, trying to give the odd flavor some logical explanation.
“That herbal tea’s been sitting in my cabinet a while. But then I tried to make a second cup and I noticed that the water coming out of the kettle was a little bit discolored.”
This was when Rachel decided some investigation was required. She had filled her kettle through the spout so hadn’t noticed anything untowardly.
However, on opening the kettle it became very clean very quickly that something was amiss.
“You guys look what I found inside this kettle, she said sounding dismayed.
“It’s f*cking playing cards. What the f*ck.” Sure enough, at the bottom of the kettle were some cards.
Some commenters expressed relief it wasn’t anything worse, while others couldn’t help but make light of the situation.
“It tasted a little gamey?” said one joker.
“Did you feel a little flush,” was the response of another.
But this viewer’s fears were alleviated: “I was terrified it was going to be a mouse.”
This fan said to be grateful if was just a set of playing cards: “Better than a turd,” they said.
There was agreement from the commenter that the find was mind-boggling: “That probably would have been the last or almost last thing I would have imagined.”
