I once fell asleep in a hotel bed, drunk, while eating a Snickers. The stains told an untrue story and I still had several more nights to stay. The shame will outlive me.

You should have left a note that said, "Snickers not shit, I swear.".

I kind of wonder if there's an unwritten etiquette code of what to do with items that are blood/shit/snickers smeared

In a hotel, that is
Wash them?
― emil.y, Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
I think all linens get washed equally harshly tbh. I don't know how commercial laundries do it or what cleaning products they use but they do get things clean.

note on bedstand "Please wash sheets ASAP (I'm sorry)"
or possibly a note with an arrow pointing at the bed that says SUCIO
― ☠ ☃ ☠ (mh), Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:53 (eleven years ago) link
p sure the etiquette is to scrawl SORRY on the wall, using the same substance with which you have soiled the sheets

Using a black light, employees of the television show "ABC News Primetime" investigated 20 hotels in the United States for cleanliness. Results showed traces of semen or urine in every room they checked, even in expensive five-star hotels.

The places they find urine, semen, etc are things that don't get washed in the laundry. Bedspreads, walls, headboards, whatever. Actually in response to that kind of reporting, some hotels now also commit to washing the outer bedcovers between guests, as I noticed on a recent stay. Which is basically a terrible waste especially when you figure a lot of guests never even TOUCH the second bed in the room.

Oh God, I saw that report. It was mostly the top layers, the comforters, iirc. The sheets get laundered every day but hotels pretty much never wash the comforter. The first thing I do when I get to a hotel is take that thing off. So gross.

― 乒乓, Thursday, 7 March 2013 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
i remember traveling with my grandmother, who would strip the comforters from the bed upon first entering the hotel room because "that's where all the filth is"

Oh god can I just...my roommate cuts up raw chicken on a dinner plate, cooks the chicken, and then uses the plate to eat off without washing it AT ALL in between. He does this multiple days in a row with the same plate. If I don't SEE him do it I can ignore it (and he has his own plates that I don't use--EVER) but if I'm aware of it I have to wash the counters and sink handles afterward.

It goes to show either how rare food-borne illnesses are, or how good the body is at controlling them under normal circs, because he's probably touched the fridge handles, the cupboard handles, the sink handles, and half the utensils in the kitchen with raw chicken hands.

i'm not particularly clean, and am pretty loose about food hygiene but i would never ever ever mix uncooked and cooked meat in any way. just thinking about it makes me queasy.

maybe its all organic free range chicken

im not a food scientist but seems to me most of the fear w/r/t meat is the possibility of contact with fecal matter in the killing process

idk we eat salmon, like the insides of our steak raw
from what i understand the other vector for food poisoning is through the byproduct of bacterial colonization in the form of toxins - and ive heard that those toxins are pretty tough to get rid of once theyre in, like sometimes high heat cooking wont be enough to get rid of it? idk
― 乒乓, Thursday, 7 March 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
if the inside of my steak isnt burnt it's going back at speed

At one of the restaurants where I used to work, guests were often shocked when we asked them what temp they would like their pork cooked to. Yes, dears, you can have your pork MEDIUM and not bone-dry!
