I think it's good for my immune system to get regular doses of germs to practice on. It helps keep it an elite fighting force for when I'll ready need it. |

I think we should make a fan club of George Carlin.

About the topic: when I was in the army, I often prefered to put the food on the tray and not on the dish, because they both recieved the same treatment, BUT the tray had less chances to come with someone else's saliva  Interestingly enough, I never had any health issues there.

normally, housekeepers are on a tight schedule, having to get X units done in X time.
no excuse, of course, but i bet it's not laziness...more than likely, it's the management that doesn't want them to take the time...or doesn't care, until they are caught. |

If you watched that report, you'd see that your immune system could be "practicing" on Staph, Herpes, or Mono....
No thanks....

If you're so concerned about this "report", just wash your glass before you use it.

Right, because it's totally fine to pick up a potentially dangerous pathogen from a hotel drinking glass. If you're so damn fine with the idea, why don't you move to a third world country in Africa or South America? After all, "life's too short to worry about all the minor details". Give me a frickin break. |

Give me a frickin break. | I have traveled my whole life, never gotten sick from drinking from a hotel glass. I don't think I ever will either. I think there is a big difference between a "3rd world country" and a "minor detail".
Famine ..........VS. .......Hotel glass
Malnutrition ....VS. .......Hotel glass
Civil War ........VS. .......Hotel glass
Genocide ........VS. .......Hotel glass 
Are any of those things on the left hand side minor issues? Last time I checked they weren't.
If you wanna live your life in fear, that's fine by me.
People starve and get murdered in 3rd world countries every day, and here we are scared of catching a virus from a hotel glass.

No thanks.... | What Pacman failed to mention, is that in San Antonio we are immune to all this due to the percentage of Taqueria's in town. You can clearly see his denial.  |

I tend to agree Roon on this one, there's bigger issues to worry about as per the prior list. eg. If there was a kid dying in a foreign country there'd be all the resources to get 'em out of there. While children die of starvation every few minutes and as we stuff our faces with Mc Chuck, the mutter of there's nothin we can do about it rings out.
BTW Staph's days are numbered, a research centre here has a vaccine that's due out after the standard testing period.

And Carlos isn't scared of Herpes anymore. You can't catch it twice can you?
