Hilary Swank likes free shampoo.
Actress Hilary Swank blames her deprived childhood for her worst habit – stealing shampoo from plush hotels.
The Million Dollar Baby star admits growing up on a trailer park in Washington State has encouraged her to be thrifty in adulthood. She says, “I find it really difficult to walk away from hotels and not take the little shampoos they give you. Because I travel so much, I have cupboards full of the little free shampoos.
“It’s probably my worst habit. It’s disgusting. I’m like ‘Hilary, walk away from the shampoo.’”
I don’t think this is so awful? I take the shampoo bottles from the hotels I stay in. Is that so weird? You pay for it – you might as well take it! I save them up for camping trips/whatnot.
Is it so wrong to take the shampoo bottles from your hotel?

I take them if they are any good. I’m picky about my shampoo, but if I like it then it goes in my bag.

I take it, if it’s good stuff. Usually at the higher priced hotels, they have spa stuff. Then when you go to a cheap hotel, you have good stuff to take with you!

i think its more the fact that she has overflowing cupboards full….alluding to gluttony rather than the fact that shes stealing something she paid for…to take something that will go to waste is silly
