Hotel drinking glasses

I got this from a friend via e-mail.

WOW! I bet the folks in management at these hotels have had some very uncomfortable moments after this aired.

I saw that. Un-nerving. I typically use the plastic cups anyway.

I stay off of and do not use the bed spreads as well.

that is why when I stay in a hotel I don't use their stuff. I bring bottled water and get coffee when I leave.

I liked the cleaning woman who washed the glass with the same glass cleaner she used on the mirrors....also the woman who cleaned the glasses while wearing the rubber gloves she probably cleaned the commode with.

Stop reading now if you have a weak stomach.

I once found a condom stuck to a pillowcase in a hotel I stayed in. It appeared that it had been through the laundry but I didn't look THAT closely. I got dressed, took the thing down to the little OL running the desk and probably almost killed her. Got a new room and they took it off my bill. Not really anyone's fault necessarily but disgusting nonetheless.

And don't even ask about the bedbug problem they are having in some Boston hotels these days....

It's just typical of nearly every company's idea of customer service these days.

That is why I clean everything with alcohol prep pads that they use before you get a shot. Glasses, Handles, Remote, Phone...ect

mmm...e.coli, my favorite!

staph type bacteria from biofilms using quorum sensing is going to a big, BIG deal soon enough, you have no idea how worried the CDC is about it.

In fact its been under major study for the last several years, its just this year we started hearing about it.

To quote a phD, MD who is working on it, he told me last year that if the general public knew what was happening with these biofilm..."there would be mass hysteria!"
