Feces in hotel rooms

According to the November issue of Men's Health magazine there's more fecal matter on the thermostat dial, phone, and tv remote then in the bathroom. Source: Chuck Gerba, Ph.D., professor of microbilogy, University of Arizona.

More fecal matter, plus other things you probably shouldn't think about.

That's just what I need to hear the day before heading out on a 3 day...

I also agree with the "ignorance is bliss" statement.

That being said, lets hear your horror stories!uke:

Why didn't we worry about this in the 70's?

Found poop in my bed in PHL. That seemed to be the cleanest thing about PHL.

Remotes??? I thought those were complimentary snickers bars!!

:laugh:

again its kind of a given. remotes, tv's, thermostats, ac controls, light switches and door knobs don't get cleaned like the bathroom and other such areas. Granted they may get cleaned with dirty rags and such every other or 3rd day thoes common areas on average get cleaned "somewhat" to standard which is better than the rmote and such witch never gets cleaned and always gets handeled.

Amen bro. Amen.

Saw a tv report a few years ago and said you find large ammounts of fecal matter on just about anything many people touch. Hand rails, doorknobs, money, atm machines.

Wash your hands frequently.

Yeah, but according to a popular movie, "Knowledge is Good"

Don't drink from the glasses either.
I saw this on a website.

Atlanta set up secret cameras inside 5 different hotel chains from the Holiday Inn to the Ritz Carlton (shown above) and caught every single one of them failing to properly wash the room's glasses.
At every single hotel, regardless of price, the glasses were simply rinsed out and left for the next guest. Some hotels used dirty bath towels to wipe the glasses. One hotel employee rinsed the glasses after cleaning the toilet—using the same gloves. Another one sprayed the glasses with blue cleaning fluid that was marked "Do not drink."
Fox Atlanta has turned the results of the investigation over to the local health department. Experts interviewed in the video maintain that this isn't just a case of "ew, gross" but a very serious health code violation. Dirty glasses spread disease.

Basically all of Atlanta should be turned over to the health board though. But point taken anyway.

One little trick one of our F/A taught me a while ago.. take the plastic ice bag and stick the TV remote in it. One small tactic in the fight against poop and jizz..
