I never stay in Airbnbs because I am vehemently against them as a concept because of what it does to local housing prices and availability. Sometimes, however I get dragged into trips where I’m not planning the lodging, and this was one of those times.
The last time I stayed in one I packed a charger for my phone (I usually don’t pack my good chargers on trips, and usually pack the slower USB type A to USB C chargers I have because when traveling, not a lot of places have integrated USB C everywhere). I plugged my phone and realized my phone was getting crazy hot from it, and not charging well. I thought, that’s weird, it’s a Samsung charger. I looked at it a bit closer, and it was actually some shitty Chinese charger in the shape of a Samsung charger. No idea where I inherited it from, but I swapped the brick with a random brick that was connected to the host’s camera system. I hope it fried that shit. Fuck AirBNB.
Technically they were at least officially for the outside and the doorbell. Whether that host has some hidden inside, who’s to say, but yeah, I didn’t exactly feel bad about it.

Yikes, cameras in an airbnb? No thank you.
