Creepiest Airbnb Host Ever

A tip for anyone paranoid. Turn off all of the lights in the room you’re staying in and shimmer your phone light around the room. Camera lenses are extremely reflective and you’ll be able to see abnormal circular reflections popping off of any cameras.

I feel like Charlie has some deep-rooted trauma about his grandfather's lawn mower that he refuses to tell us

This is something I’ve always been afraid of in hotels and airbnbs. Especially in s. Korea it’s almost common for men to put tiny pin point cameras in toilets, even in public bathrooms! And in Japan too, like glasses that are cameras and stuff, and other things designed to get like upskirt photos. I saw a video from a Korean woman talking about how she recommends everyone coming to visit/live in Korea to get this little credit card sized piece of red plastic that when you look through it you can see the cameras. I’ve been freaked about it ever since. Especially since I saw that video AFTER I visited both Japan and South Korea!

My girlfriend bruised her tailbone and I made one joke about buying one of those donuts you sit on and less than 3 hours later was seeing adds for butt cushions

Knowing how people behave behind closed doors, this guy's hard drive must be worse than an evening on omegle

Charlie doing a speedrun of how many degenerates he can cover in a week.

It's interesting to me that some people never really worried about hidden cameras in rooms like I honestly thought it was a universal experience

Actually those cameras really do exist in surprisingly amazing high def quality. The reason you don't see it in supermarkets and courtrooms and other places is the storage. Stores and government facilities typically need to house multiple days/weeks worth of video from all their cameras. The storage costs for that much video gets INSANE. So most bigger establishments will run low res video feeds for long term storage and might have a couple high def cams for more important things that they can only store a small bit before overwriting the data.

If they’re gonna spy on you, you should at least be able to stay for free

Nothing says "I'm innocent" like trying to rip the microphone out of a news reporter's hand because she asked a question you don't like.

thank god society thinks its odd to have digital clocks in your living room

“This Airbnb is nice and all, but why is there a smoke detector in every room?”

I miss the old days, when saying "they're secretly watching me through spycams in the TV / smoke detector / alarm clock!" just meant you had schizophrenia.

This can happen in hotels, restaurant bathrooms, basically anywhere people have private access to a room before you enter it. Always good to do a “sweep” of sorts in any room that promises privacy. We live in new times.

Thank you Charlie for sending this information to all your followers. I just hope we all spread the word to those around us. This is horrible. Serious jail time to these piles of garbage.

as someone who this kind of thing has happened too, it changes how you travel, how you sleep, who you trust, everything. I was unlucky enough to have this happen in my home, but if anything it just shows how much more regulation needs to be happening in these Airbnb situations. idk it's just horrible stuff.

No cap, I think Charlie is just talking to himself and doesn’t realize there’s a camera recording him and just happens to make eye contact with it and then Matt uploads the footage to YouTube. Just a theory

The irony of him getting pissed off at them recording him against his will is just.....

There’s this cool device in Japan and stuff where these hidden cameras are a problem in bathrooms and stuff, you look through it and it makes any camera lenses shine. This makes me wanna get one now if I ever go to an airbnb

I'm honestly only surprised that this doesn't happen more often. The thought of just staying in houses owned by random people has freaked me out from the beginning. I've never used AirBnB. It might not be a completely logical thought; I could probably argue both sides of it easily. But still, no thank you. That would be my last resort for sure.
