Speaking of hotel room santization...

[Wankel7]

I have a theory on why when you turn the shower on for the first time..and the drain is closed.

Its to keep the roachs inside the drain.

Just a thought...and I know you guys have wondered why housekeeping always closes the drain.

Oh dear lord, always wondered about that....

And know that I have found out what some people like do with the coffee pot...makes me not want to stay in many hotels any longer

Time to pitch a tent under the wing!

dang fine reason to never drink coffee or tea.... just stick to unopened bottles of water on the plane

Think about those ice buckets too...another reason to always use the plastic bags for the ice and to only use the sealed plastic cups...none of that "it's a clean cup that's covered by a piece of paper for me!"

The first thing I do when walking into a hotel room is to remove the comforter...<shudder> hotels are so freakin' dirty.

I picked up a Marriott pen for the cockpit and the whole thing smelled like bung-hole

no joke

And you don't want to go into a hotel room with a black light and look around either.

A local TV station did this awhile back....

Let's just say "bodily fluids" glow in the dark.

crap a TV show just said that a bed and bed sheets are crawling with millions of dust mites. They eat your shed skin, of which you shed a million cells per hour.
And if the pillows are older, one tenth the weight of a pillow is... dead dust mites, and their droppings... in an ordinary household.
Yu-um.

It's always nice to find a booger on the faucet handle, or a yellow stain on the sheet, or a pube on the "clean" folded towel. It's not all bad, though!

Neat side benefit of being an airline pilot:
