A man has sparked a huge debate over the way hotel rooms should be left after he posted a picture of his bedding neatly folded on the mattress.
Darren Dowling strips the sheets, duvet cover and pillowcases from the bed and neatly folds them to save housekeeping time, reports the Daily Record.
Underneath the picture he wrote: "I always try and leave a hotel room like this. Is this the right or wrong thing to do?"

Though many queried why he would bother as the house cleaning team are paid to do this, many more praised him for his efforts.
One follower described him as a "life skills influencer", and said: "I've always been one to stack plates for the waiter/waitress and to return glasses to a bar. But I've never considered doing this in hotels. You bet I'm going to start though!"
While others who had formerly worked in hotels added that it really helps when guests do this, saluting Darren for doing it they wrote that with time targets to hit per room, doing this can really give them a head start.
One housekeeper said: "This makes me very happy when customers do this, saves us an extra job and makes it easier."
Though another housekeeper said: " I get worried when I see this - what are they hiding?"
Another added: "As a former housekeeper I always appreciated when people did this. I continue to do this now and I also leave a tip every day.
"Housekeeping is a thankless hard job. The condition some rooms are left in is astonishing...even after just one night.
"They don't get paid near enough... people are very rude to them and even other areas of the hotel look down on them. It's the most important job in the hotel because if it wasn't for housekeeping there would be no rooms to rent out and therefore no money coming in."
However, it wasn't all positive, one man replied that he got fined in Spain for doing it, he said: "They claimed the room was “messy” as I stripped the beds and put any rubbish in a bin bag and put them nicely in the corner of the room. Had to pay €60."
Another said: "You’re just demonstrating that you are a big boy now and you didn’t wet the bed!!"
