As fun as it may appear, it’s not always easy to cope with such situations.
“Let’s take a look at the bathroom. Would you like to take a pee or a poop? Don’t worry; you’ll barely fit.” Mary Fran said at the beginning of her first video in the series.

The hotel pool towels appeared to be a bit far! Mary Fran revealed that the towels often leave a wearer having to pick between covering their back, side, or the front of their body. “After a swim, maybe you want to go sit on the balcony.” Mary Fran stated in the hope of enjoying one of the hotel’s amenities. She continued: “Oh look, a lovely table with a chair. Will it house me? I’m not too sure.” Mary Fran eased onto the chair but instantly snorted a laugh and sarcastically called it stable.
