This cartoon…
…was published before the sh1t hit the fan – or kettle? – when a so-called “influencer” revealed her repulsive hack of washing her dirty underwear when away from home:
Tara Woodcox, an influencer and fitness coach, is speaking out after an earlier video of hers went viral, in which she suggested to her followers that they clean their dirty underwear in hotel coffee makers.
In the original video — which she posted to TikTok on Nov. 9, 2025 — Woodcox described what she called “one of the coolest tricks ever.” For those who didn’t pack enough underwear during a trip, she suggested using the hotel room’s coffee maker and placing the dirty garment where the grounds would normally go.
“You close it, you press brew, and it puts scorching hot water through it,” she said, adding that one could use the blow dryer to dry them off after. “You got yourself a cleaner pair of underwear to wear! I did not realize how many people already knew this hack.”
I think that it was Bob Mortimer who joked about peeing in hotel kettles when on tour.
“Still do! As the kettles get better, I can see a little measurement on the side.
They’ve got a little counter. They used to be ever so basic.”
But that was clearly a joke. And so that’s actually fine.
Tara Woodcox and her “coolest trick ever” doesn’t appear to be anything more than an admission of one of her disgusting habits.
If the rumours (and apparently they are just rumours) that she is being sued for $1million by the hotel chain in question are true, then good.
More of this keeping people accountable for their stupid behaviour, please.
Because now, everyone has to take their own kettle on holiday.
