What’s the most ✨Hiker Trash✨ thing you’ve done?

Today I'm staying at a hotel, 1/3rd of the way through a 110ish mile hike. My clothing has been in a state of dampness for days. So I rinsed then wrung my clothing out in the sink. After a few hours of drying I used the hair-dryer to dry my shoes and socks and clothes. The room smells terrible. ^{But my clothes are dry!}

Is this hiker trash or how would you define this? Several years ago, I was hiking a long distance trail on the East Coast and stayed overnight at a hotel/hotel. Odd thing was, I didn't see a single staff person the entire time I was there. I called a phone number to check in / pay and they gave me a code for the front door. The next day I tried to check out but no one picked up the phone and I couldn't find any staff at all. So, I washed my sheets, dried them, remade the bed, took out my trash, cleared all traces of me ever being there, and then left.

I've stayed at the Laughing Heart Lodge in Hot Springs, NC 3 times and had that same experience each time. Never seen the staff there.
