Motel operator wants his ‘love chair’ back

SOCIAL media was abuzz after a love motel operator in Taipei, Taiwan, urged a guest to return a “love chair”, China Press reported.

The operator posted two pictures on Facebook. One featured the chair in the motel room and another of the room without the chair.

“Please return our eight-arm chair if you have taken it! Thank you!” said the operator in the post.

The post garnered over 8,660 likes and more than 2,100 shares.

Netizens expressed disbelief, with one social media user saying “This is ridiculous” and questioning if it was possible for a guest to have stolen such a large chair.

Love chairs are commonly found in adult entertainment establishments or themed hotel rooms for intimate purposes.
