    One year I would say, depending on hotel/clients like a turbo on a rally car it will have a short life.

    Some hotel mattresses have great lives. Don't live an average life mattresses.

    Depends on the crab quota.

    If you're considering buying the ex-hotel beds The Star used advertise ,don't bother.

    A friend of mine got one of those,now he has aids or some sh1t.

    Depends on the amount of bumming it has taken..

    Half the life of an orginary folks one, twill be grand. Shure ordinary folk sleep every night on theres, a hotel bed wouldn't even have 100% occupancy.

    Have you ever seen the mattresses in Trabolgan? Those have had a long hard life.

    I studied Hospitality Management amd worked in hotels from I remember mattresses would only be replaced when they were needed to be or if the rooms were being revamped. Generally a good quality mattresses would be bought and mattress protectors are nearly always used.
    I know somebody who works with a pest control company and they say that the amount of bed bugs in hotel rooms in unreal and he said the hotels generally keep the mattress whilst people who get them at home generally throw them out.

    The average hotel mattress has had at least one death on it.

    Regarding the whole kettle thing. I'd advice anybody not use the glasses or mugs in a room.

    Any reason kettles in particular are such a pube hot spot? Kettles: what kind of a life must they lead!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭Chain Smoker


    Sure a kettle, the heat it can get to and all, whatever bad there might be on those pubic hairs would be boiled right out of them, perfectly safe to swallow I'd say..

    Other people's pubic hairs are safe to swallow?

    It's not safe, it's gross.

    Now THIS is a classy thread.

    I'd put it in the same league as "how often do you go to the toilet / spend a penny".

    Or as classy as whatshername on sky news asking the wife of a murderer if he'd still have done it if their sex life had been better.

    Sure the tea bags are practically full of pubes, what do you think gives the tea it's rich colour?

    Reminds me of the time I went into the local chipper.
    The filthy mare behind the counter asked me if I wanted salt and vinegar,to which I replied "Yeah,loads of it please".

    To my horror there was a pube sticking out of the top of the vinegar bottle as she shook it vigourously over my fries.

    Starving and all as I was,they went straight in the bin.

    The dirty fcukin cnut.

    I work away from home and stay in the same 3 or 4 hotels all the time. Never bothered bringing my own shampoo and conditioner, until last week.
    So there I am with the shampoo washed out, and reach on the miniature conditioner bottle. Now these things are a real pain to open usually, but the top just popped right off this one. Great I thought, things are finally going right in my life. So I lathered it on, and it kinda smelled funny and had a slightly different texture. Thought nothing of it till I was telling the lads at breakfast the following morning. Ha says one of them, some fecker probably jizzed into the bottle, I done that on holidays one time!
    Well suffice to say, the rest of the breakfast went in the bin, and haven't used conditioner since

    What you don't know wont hurt you.
    You should see some of the disgusting things people working in restaurants and cafes do and you wouldnt think twice when your nice looking food comes.
    Cutlery washed with cold water, just to take visible dirt away.
    Tables washed with disgusting old clothes that are used to clean everything and anything dirty in the resturant..

    Don't you people look at things before you use them? I rinse the hotel kettle out before I use it, no pubes there, and that's before I boil the water. I examine the mug first - I can only recall one occasion I felt I had to wash it myself first. Trace amounts of "biologicals" aren't going to hurt you. It's a wonder anyone in "Generation Snowflake" ever goes anywhere or does anything. I do carry my own shower gel, though - mostly so I know I have stuff that works.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Sure most people, at some time in their lives, probably went back to a hotel room with a stranger. Maybe they even got a pube between their teeth. It's just a different way of approach.

    It's a bit like this scenario. Imagine I walked up to you , a stranger, at brunch and said, "here's a small vial of a stranger's semen. Please drink it"

    I'd be thrown out, lickety split.

    Yet on any given night, young women and men are attaching their mouths to the private parts of strangers, and none of us think there's anything strange about it. People ingest bodily fluids from strangers like saliva, or mucus, or even semen, and it's considered normal behaviour.

    Sorry for the tangent, but we are odd creatures, when you think about it.

    Yeah, but that's all done voluntary!

    You have to wonder how pubes end up in/on the kettle? Maybe they stick their knob into a kettle?

    Just because strangers go off with each other, it doesn't make it OK to leave pubes on the kettle. If they can leave pubes in the kettle, what if they don't use a cup in the hotel room and wipe their knob all over the cups as well.

    It's not OK. It's sick even thinking of it.

    Making a cup of tea after a solitary **** where one or two stuck to their hand. That would be my guess.

    You do know the issue with using the mugs/glasses is that the cleaning assistant can use the same cloth to wipe down toilets, floors, showers and surfaces.

    we have become too used to the waxed model in recent years, back in the day the hotel blow drier had to be used to find the base of the nest

    Since watching Hotel Hell with Gordan Ramsey, I now bring a sleeping bag to hotels when staying over.

    one night in a hotel bar in the sunny south east, i got talking to a lass, she invited herself to my room, neither of us had any condoms, i asked the duty manager could he arrange for a couple, after a little warm up action i returned to the lobby expecting to get what i ordered, he had three prossies lined up, it seemed it was the only way to get a condom after midnight, hire a prossie and the condom was free, anyways i went back up and let nature take its course, all ended up well

    This thread reminds me of an article my father read to me from the Sunday Times once.
    Someone tested the seat fabric on a London Underground tube train.
    They found traces of over 100 different substances including, blood, sweat, urine, faeces, semen, alcohol, etc.
    I would think a hotel mattress would be similar.

    You make an absolute excellent point :)
    However context is a big difference ;) because going down on someone you are intimate with and then finding a pubic hair stuck between your teeth isn't quite the same as having some random strangers pubic hair in your mouth (or seen in a kettle you intend to drink from!) etc :pac:
