As we all travel round the world (and I know there have been threads about this in the past) who does what about hotel/airport/public toilet seats.....
A couple weeks ago I stayed in a pretty skanky hotel......wouldnt even touch the thing.
So I am curious, from the veterans out there, what do you do?

Carry a small can of lysol in your bag. No kidding. I ALWAYS do the shower in ever hotel I overnight in--guess what? No more athlete's foot!

Never use the airport restrooms. I'll hold it first.

Memories

8HourPilot,

That brings back memories. When I hear stories like that it relieves some of the disappointment that I am now stuck in a go nowhere job. To make it worse is that the people you haul around wear $5,000 business suits, $600 shoes and $200 haircuts. Many look right past you or throw you their luggage without a thanks or good buy. I don't know how F/A's can do it. If I wasn't at the controls I could not get near an aircraft or the people that surround them.

I have met some really nice people too, but in all aviation life sucks. But, I can't wait to get airborne again. I must be nuts.
 
Learn from the birds.....

Make a nest with the T.P. or just hope your quads had hold you for a while.


Whats up M.C. and D.W.

You can buy travel packs of dissinfecting Wipes or Clorox wipes. I use them on the toilet on our freighters and in some hotels if I have too. You never know whats been on those seats. Have you seen some of our ride on mechanics and how they go without a shower or bath for weeks !!!!! Not to mention some of the flight crews !!!:rolleyes: :D :D
 
Seriously, forget about the toilet, after I drop my flight case the first thing I do is drench the remote for the TV with alcohol wipes from the plane. With spanktra-vision everywhere you have no idea what has flown on those things, or what crevasse they have been in. Dateline did a thing about this, and the remote is the dirtiest thing in a hotel room:eek:.​

Dang, Mach, I didn't need to know that. Well, I guess maybe I did . Thanks.

I also carry a handful of alcohol wipes or O2 mask disinfectors in by bag with which to clean toilet seats, etc. I guess that I'll have to carry more now that I know the remote needs cleaning. Man, I can't believe that never dawned on me before. No one who follows me in a hotel room needs worry, I'm too cheap to pay for spanktra-vision :)

lift the lid stand on the rim and play Bombadier, and beware of the backsplash

Heh, I actually stayed at a place the other day that had one of those "Sanitized for your Health" paper ring things on the toilet. I haven't seen one of those in 10-15 years.

It was a mom & pop owned franchise that just opened up, so maybe they were trying to make a good impression. I rolled in around 1am on a road trip, and the owner himself was working the desk. Most places were full due to the electrical and tree crews in FL, but this place was off the highway a bit.

I was just looking for a place to stay, and the owner said (with a smile) "yup, we have plenty of rooms. Its late and you look tired, so why don't I give you $20 off". I was so beat I was ready to pay full price, so I thought that was pretty decent of him.

The room was clean, the carpet unsoiled, the bathroom unmildewed, the a/c made cold air versus noise and the TV had more than 4 channels on it. All in all, probably a high 9 out of 10 (hard to beat those Westin Heavenly Beds and Firehose showers).

On the infintesimal chance I need a room in that area ever again, I would definately stay, just because the owner was nice to a weary traveler.

Followed by the phone. How do you think the skeevy dude who had the room before you got ahold of the escort he needed to get rid of the stress involved in trying to wank off during the free 30 second previews of spanker-vision?

I second what bigD sed. DON'T EVER look at a hotel room with a UV light.

Trust me on this. You should never let bare flesh touch a hotel bedspread, either.

You have been warned.
 
D.W.& S.S.

Things are good up this way, just stupid busy. How the life for you two? SS you at Trans States......shows how up on the rumor mill I am.
 
If you want some extra entertainment in you hotel room, just lift the mattress up from the bed and have a look at what your sleeping on. Ive found the most amazing things eg: vibrators, needle's, books etc and even money. :eek: :D
