Tourist who shipped her clothes straight to her hotel to avoid hassle with luggage suffers devastating mishap

A tourist who shipped her clothes straight to her hotel in order to avoid hassle with heavy luggage has suffered a devastating mishap. Meg DeAngelis, from New York, recently took to TikTok with a video that unraveled the unfortunate error. In the clip, the content creator could be seen standing at the front desk of the hotel asking the concierge about her deliveries. The text over her video read: 'When you think you're being smart by shipping your clothes to the hotel so you don't have to carry a giant suitcase.' 'Did you have packages shipped here? It should have been two,' Meg said at the start of the video. The concierge said the hotel does indeed receive packages but he had some bad news for Meg about her own shipment. 'We had to return those because they weren't for a guest that we had,' he mumbled. Meg's friend gasped in horror before she started to explain the situation further to the hotel worker. 'Wait, I called and said, "Is it okay that I'm not a guest?" And they said, "It's okay you're not a guest," and I verified by saying "My name isn't on the room,"' the stressed influencer shared. 'What do you mean return them?' she asked, to which the hotel employee responded, 'The UPS had to take them back.' Meg buried her head in her hands before continuing: 'That's why I called, and I was like, "Hey, should I put it under the person who has the room?" 'And they said, "No, because you need your ID to pick it up." 'So I was like, "Oh, it's okay they're not staying there and I'm not listed?" and they were like, "Yeah, just make sure you have your ID." 'This would have been two or three days ago.' She asked where her packages were going, and the worker said he 'guessed' they would have been returned to the postal distribution center. The chaotic misunderstanding captured in the video quickly amassed more than nine million views and 2,000 comments. Many people argued that the hotel was in the wrong and offered her words of support. 'They were in the wrong, but PLEASE never do this. It's always a mess,' someone wrote. 'Asking beforehand and then being slapped in the face is my biggest pet peeve omg,' another person said. 'Bruh, when employees don't communicate with their manager or with each other, this is what happens,' one comment read. 'As a hotel worker, that's crazy,' a user wrote. 'I work at a hotel and they are so in the wrong for this. I hope they offered you compensation for the HUGE inconvenience,' another worker said. 'The hotel is very unprofessional for this. I'm sure somebody didn't do their job and forgot to log a trace for this package, or one of the workers took the package,' a user considered. 'Yea, 100 per cent hotel is wrong. They need to offer you some major discounts or refund your stay because now you have to spend money to buy all new clothes and s**t,' a person demanded. Another penned: 'This is so frustrating. I'm sorry Meg.' In a follow-up video about the mishap, Meg called UPS customer service and was told her clothes would be delivered on July 7.

'I tried Breakfast at Tiffany's just like film but noticed issue'

The 1960s classic film Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn, inspired one food lover to visit the flagship Tiffany store in New York City to find out what eating there is actually like Breakfast at Tiffany's, the iconic 1960s movie with Audrey Hepburn as stylish Upper East Sider Holly Golightly, has cemented its place in pop culture. The film follows Holly's story as she meets Paul, a budding writer who becomes a neighbour in her apartment block. One of the film's most memorable scenes sees Holly nibbling on a croissant and sipping coffee outside the Tiffany & Co store on Fifth Avenue, New York City, peering dreamily at its window display. Tiffany & Co, known for its luxury jewellery with its signature robin's egg blue packaging, is recognised worldwide both from the film and the wish lists of accessory lovers alike. ‌ Ertan Bek, a New York-based food enthusiast, took to TikTok to let fans of the movie know that you can actually enjoy breakfast at Tiffany's, sharing his solo dining experience. ‌ The Blue Box Café by Daniel Boulud invites customers to indulge in breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea in a venue that pays homage to the brand's storied past, nestled inside The Landmark at the company's flagship location. Ertan kicked off his TikTok video, saying: "Let's see how expensive a solo breakfast at Tiffany's is in New York City. Breakfast at Tiffany's, I'm about to live every girl's dream right now." He then entered Blue Box Café, confirmed his booking with the host, and was escorted to his seat. ‌ The self-proclaimed 'introvert lunching around' took his place and commented: "Look at this view, and the inside is gorgeous, but it reminds me of Louis Vuitton's cafe." Once comfortably seated, he was given hand sanitiser on a cloth in a small bowl by a server before a waitress handed him the menu. Ertan found himself torn between ordering the more traditional Breakfast at Tiffany's or choosing something from the a la carte menu, so he got some guidance from the waitress. ‌ He confessed he was drawn to "the most American thing" available, "which is a cheeseburger," but the server immediately shot back with a firm "no" and steered him towards the breakfast option instead. Following her recommendation, Ertan used the wipe to cleanse his hands before being served the $68 (£50.14) breakfast, featuring eggs topped with caviar, a croissant and yoghurt parfait, amongst other delicacies. The solo diner described the presentation as "gorgeous" and awarded it a perfect 10 out of 10 score. ‌ He began by pouring himself a cup of tea costing $8 (£5.90) before diving into his morning feast. ‌ Beginning with the caviar nestled in an egg shell, he shared that it was "so good" before moving on to the buttery, plain croissant. Ertan finished off the rest of his breakfast away from the camera and told the waitress "everything is good." However, there was one issue - he suspected what he had eaten wouldn't fill him up, so he ordered the cheeseburger as well. His initial reaction to the $32 (£23.59) burger, served with chips, was that it appeared "amazing" and was "beautifully stacked." ‌ The foodie noted it "smells really good" before taking his first bite. He praised it as "perfect medium rare" and went so far as to proclaim it "definitely one of the best burgers in New York." He rated the experience a solid eight out of 10 and assured the waitress that everything was "perfect." ‌ Ertan's final bill came to $126 (£92.90), and with a $30 (£22.12) tip on top, his total spend was $156 (£115.01). Wrapping up, he advised: "Gentlemen, definitely take your girl out here, it's definitely worth it. Amazing service, amazing food." The TikTok video has sparked a flurry of more than 1,300 comments, with many users admitting their surprise at discovering you can actually enjoy breakfast at Tiffany's. One user exclaimed: "OMG I thought Breakfast at Tiffany's was an abstract term meaning let's party all night and go buy diamonds in the morning my whole life." Another confessed: "I thought breakfast at Tiffany's was standing outside the store peeking in the window while eating a croissant with a cappuccino." A third chimed in: "I am the only one who didn't realise that you can actually have breakfast at Tiffany's? I just thought it was a film, and then a song."

OJ Simpson lawyer reveals Diddy judge's subtle signal that rapper will get a LONG prison sentence: Live updates

The judge in Sean ' Diddy ' Combs trial signaled he will hand out a lengthy sentence when he denied him bail, according to OJ Simpson 's lawyer. Robert Shapiro, the lead defense attorney in Simpson's infamous murder trial, said Diddy would likely face two to three-and-a-half years in prison after being acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering but convicted for lesser prostitution offenses. 'Having seen that this judge did not release him on bail, I think a message may be coming that you're going to be spending a lot more time, so no reason to let you come out and come back in,' Shapiro told Fox News Digital. Shapiro noted that in denying Diddy bail, Judge Arun Subramanian mentioned the mogul's 'propensity for violence,' citing the 2016 footage of the rapper assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles. 'If the judge looks at that tape in his mind and is reminded about it again… I think there is a real chance that a substantial sentence will be forthcoming,' the attorney said. Shapiro's comments come as Diddy, his lawyers, and prosecutors are expected to meet with Judge Subramanian for a post-trial hearing on Tuesday to discuss a sentencing schedule. Post-trial hearing to focus on sentencing schedule Diddy will be appear in court remotely on Tuesday at 2pmEST for a post-trial hearing on the sentencing schedule. The music mogul, 55, was acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering on Wednesday but convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The disgraced mogul's lawyers want less than the 21 to 27 months in prison that they believe the sentencing guidelines recommend. Prosecutors contend that the guidelines, when properly calculated to include Diddy's crimes and violent history, call for at least four to five years in prison. After tentatively setting Diddy's sentencing for October, the judge said he is open to a defense request that it happen as soon as possible, with further discussions expected at a conference Tuesday. Diddy's punishment is Judge Arun Subramanian's decision alone, and the judge will have wide latitude in determining a sentence. While judges often adhere to the federal judiciary's formulaic guidelines meant to prevent disparity in sentences for the same crimes, they are not mandatory. Diddy's lead attorney Marc Agnifilo, who had asked the judge to release him on a $1 million bond, insisted to Subramanian that he had changed dramatically in the last year. But Subramanian was unmoved and denied him bail, citing his 'propensity for violence' against his ex-girlfiends and accusers Cassie Ventura and 'Jane.' The maximum possible sentence for each of the prostitution convictions is 10 years in prison. Diddy has already spent 10 months in jail, since his September arrest. 14:05 Diddy received standing ovation in jail after acquittals Diddy got a standing ovation from fellow inmates when the music mogul returned to jail after winning acquittals on potential life-in-prison charges, providing what his lawyer says might have been the best thing he could do for incarcerated Black men in America. 'They all said: "We never get to see anyone who beats the government,"' attorney Marc Agnifilo told The Associated Press in a weekend interview days after a jury acquitted Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. After federal agents raided Combs' homes in Los Angeles and the Miami area in March 2024, Agnifilo said he told the 'I'll Be Missing You' singer to expect to be arrested on sex trafficking charges. 'I said: "Maybe it's your fate in life to be the guy who wins,"' he recalled during a telephone interview briefly interrupted by a jailhouse call from Combs. 'They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.' Diddy received 'standing ovation' from fellow inmates after court win Sean 'Diddy' Combs received a 'standing ovation' from fellow inmates when he returned to jail after winning acquittals on charges that carried a life sentence. 13:22 Alternate Diddy juror describes 'tame' Freak Off Videos shown to jury George, who only gave his first name to CNN, said that he understood the verdict and 'probably would have reached the same conclusion' as the jury who declared Diddy not guilty of the most serious charges he faced. George also described the video evidence he saw of the 'freak offs' at the center of the case against Diddy, who in the end was only convicted of lesser prostitution offenses. The video evidence remained sealed throughout the trial, and only the jury and lawyers got to see it in court.

Exclusive:The hint Diddy judge gave that rapper still faces VERY long prison sentence The judge who will decide Diddy 's prison sentence gave a hint that he will side with prosecutors and apply the full weight of the law against the music mogul. Former federal prosecutor Jennifer Beidel told the judge's comments suggest he will side with prosecutors, who want Diddy to face four to five years - above the guidelines based on the sentences of other similarly situated defendants.
