no x2 for me.

though if a bathroom is dirty enough that I feel like a need a layer of TP to protect me from VD, I would probably just not use it.

How would the person know? Someone may have, but it takes a few days to mainfest-- so he/she could chalk it up as something he/she ate, etc.

There was that one time I was stricken with an ailment after drinking from a bare public toilet.

But that really wasnt on the poll now was it?

Don't use a hotel glass unless it's a disposable one wrapped in plastic. Hotel Drinking Glasses

Then there's also bedbugs.

I think there was another show about semen and urine in hotel rooms.

Then there were a couple news stories about hidden cameras.

Start looking for videos and you'll never want to stay in a hotel again.

Start looking for videos and you'll never eat at a restaurant again, never buy any processed food again, never touch any surface again, never have sex again, never fly on a plane again, never buy diamonds again, never buy gas again, never buy tiger penis soup again, never drink water again, never do anything again.

Fear paralyzes, don't be a pussy.

That's the troof. Fuck the tigers. I demand tiger penis soup because it obviously enhances my inadequacy. Afterall, it's friggin' tiger. I mean, come on!

On the authority of the customs and immigration service, I deny your re-entry into the Americas. May god have mercy on your soul.

I travel quite a bit and am very paranoid about cameras in hotel rooms. I've seen plenty of videos so I know how small and easily hidden they can be.

The problem nowadays is that most of the tiny cams are also wireless. :Q So it's not as easy as looking for two way mirrors and pulling pictures away from the walls anymore.

Common places for hidden cams in hotel rooms:

Behind pictures and mirrors
Smoke detector
Switch plates on the walls or electrical sockets
Clocks, vases or any freestanding object

Or really ANYWHERE.

Typically they are mounted for a view of the bed and shower, so look around from that vantage point.

Years ago I actually did find a camera. It was in a drop ceiling in front of the bed. This hotel was a fleabag "no tell motel" where people rent the rooms by the hour. :p

Less harmful uses for these cams these days are for catching babysitters abusing your kids (as happened last week as seen on CNN).

But back OT: I've never caught anything from a hotel seat b/c unless I'm staying there for a few days, I always cover the seat w/paper. I don't drink out of any glass that wasnt' sealed in plastic and even then I wash it first.

Have you ever seen 1408? Theres this one line that makes you think

"Hotels are a naturally creepy place... Just think, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many... died? "

No way to know for sure with either one, although my guess is no.

However just because you can survive somthing disgusting & filthy without becoming ill doesn't mean it isn't disgusting & filthy!

like we know exactly how we got sick. we know a bacteria or a virus caused it, but the exact point of transmission is usually not determined.
