Was this an accident?

Hi. I work as a housekeeper at a motel and something unusual happened on Saturday while I was beginning to clean a room. I started with the used bedsheets which I removed from the bed, and then I went to the bathroom to collect any used towels. Like all the rooms I clean, I always knock before I enter and often times the lights and/or the TV are left on. They were on in the bathroom as I stepped in, but what I found was shocking. There was a man in the bathtub who was masturbating and he didn't appear to know I was there. I couldn't see the top half of his body as it was blocked by the shower curtain. Next to the tub lying on a towel was a radio with a wire stemming from it to behind the curtain and I concluded that he was listening to the radio using headphones and did't know that I was in the room. So, I left the room, closed the door and went on to the next room.

About an hour later the manager calls me to her office and informs me that one of the guests called in. She said he was frantic and asked for the police saying that someone had broken into his room while he was taking a bath. She told him that it was the housekeeper who had entered his room and is in the process of cleaning all the rooms. When she asked him if he had heard me knock, he informed her about the radio and headphones which I had suspected and that he didn't hear anyone knock and he didn't know anyone was in the room. She told me he was very upset and feared that I might have seen him while he was taking a bath. I didn't know exactly how to answer, but knowing that she has a sense of humor and has joked about related incidents in the past regarding guests, I decided to tell her everything. Naturally, she laughed at it. I did too I must admit. He asked her to ask me if I had seen him while he was taking a bath because he informed her that he would be too embarrassed about seeing me later or the next day if I had seen him (which is very understandable). She told him she would ask me and get back to him. Well, after I told her everything which had happened and after we had a good laugh over it, she decided not to tell him the truth. Instead, she told him that I had seen a light on in the bathroom and thought there might be someone in there and so I left the room without checking (Big lie!).

Anyway, he seemed relieved to hear this and so I went to his room later to finish cleaning. He was dressed and watching TV when I got there and I pretended as if nothing had happened. Nothing else happened and the rest of his time there was free of incident.

I wanted to share this with you for two reasons. First, I posted this just because I felt like it. I just felt I needed to get this out. The second reason is to get your input (if any) and to ask if you think he might have done all this on purpose or whether you believe he was genuinely caught unawares. I've run into different situations before involving couples and people who sleep late, so, anything's possible I thought; but this is the first time I've run into (so to speak) a man masturbating in the bathtub!

TIA.

No slam intended for your peers, but you certainly are the most articulate housekeeper I have ever run into!
Sure sounds like an accident to me. Why believe anything else? Especially since there was a complaint.

"What makes you think it wasn't an accident?"

I don't. Someone else on this forum did I guess because the guest asked if the housekeeper saw him. If it were me, I would think if there was a chance someone saw me do this thing, I would be too embarrassed to face the housekeeper and would want to know if he or she saw me because if she or he did I would leave the motel and never come back. What do you think about his question? Everyone I've spoken with believes it was an accident except for a few people on this forum. I also believe it was an accident.

Yeah, he wanted us to call the police at first. We were afraid to tell him the truth because we didn't know how he might react. He might have committed suicide if it upset him that much.

"We all know lots of guys have fantasies about getting caught"

Well, that may be, but I can't imagine them wanting the police involved. If he was acting, then I would applaud him for his performance. He sure fooled us all. I still think it was an accident though. Not all men are pervs.

Well, I seriously doubt any guy is going to admit he would do it if he thinks he's going to be
