Ever drank from a hotel room water glass?

People worry too much about this kind of thing, it's what immune systems are for, ahaha.

Imagine a combination of 2girls1cup... and this hotel cup....

But in all honesty, I have never touched glasses that weren't one use anyways. I've always been skeptical on what happens to them. What's worse are the dishes in the kitchenettes, lord knows how they are washed (or aren't).

A friend of mine just became a health inspector. Not sure how he plans on living the rest of his life, but that type of job has got to make a paranoid mess out of anyone. I don't even want to know how unsanitary things are in my day-to-day life.

No point in stressing about it, you will find crap wrong with most restaurants, hotels, public restrooms, airplanes, etc etc. The list goes on... there isn't TOO MUCH we can do about it.

I already knew this, having known someone who worked (briefly) in housekeeping at a local hotel.

Most places I visit, I use bottled water for even brushing my teeth (mostly because the local water even smells horrible). Even after 3 weeks in Orlando, I never got used to the sulfur smell in the water.

Michael Scott: Wow, what are all those stains?
Dwight Schrute: Blood, urine or semen.
Michael Scott: Oh, God. I hope it's urine.

When I go into a hotel room, the first thing I do is rub my naked bum on every available surface.

It is still disgusting, but at least I know the room is alllllllllll me from then on.

This is news? Maybe I've seen too much in Banff.

I always think in these kind of situations that probably no-one has ever died from drinking from hotel glass. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Western people have become way too overhygienic these days, and thus they are allergic to almost everything. When you sleep in the barn floor with your syblings International Harvester, Jitney, and Witney and use internet at the tractor shack like me, you never get any allergies. But you never get any jobs or girlfriends either. Story of my life.

Note to self: don't touch anything when I go back to the hotel here in St. Louis...

bring a to-go cup and use that. there is going to be germs in a hotel room, gotta deal with it.

This is also my suspicion with those maid services that do housecleaning once a week. They don't live in my house, they don't really care if its clean, they just need to make it LOOK clean. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same towel they used to wipe the toilet would somehow wipe my kitchen countertops. I could never have a stranger clean my house for me. Gross.

A guy who spent his career in the hotel biz had a great line - the only difference between a hotel room and a public bathroom is the bed.

I turn into Seinfeld in hotel rooms. I carry a travel can of lysol, touch the comforter only once (to throw it on the corner) and i buy new tolietries for every trip - and leave them there.

The only thing I haven't figured out is the pillow. I can't sleep with a bag on it, and its too damn bulky to bring my own

I always bring my own pillow, if your suitcase isn't large enough to accomodate it, get one of those vacuum storage bags to pack it. I'm a big fan of Clorox wipes and Purel in a hotel room. I've also found that putting the remote for the TV in a plastic bag keeps me from constantly handling it and will still work on the TV.

I double the pillow over and put it inside of a plain white t-shirt that I bring along for just that purpose. Come home, bleach the shirt with the other white clothes, done and done.
