Have you ever wondered what hotels do

[In_The_Wind]

with all those 1/2 rolls of toilet paper after you check-out of your room?
They always change 'em to new rolls before the next person checks in.

[hippywife]

1. I dunno but

they might use them in the employees' restrooms, maybe? :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

3. Think of all the wasted trees if they just toss 'em out!

I hope that's where they go. It takes a long time to grow a tree big enough to harvest.

:hi:

[hippywife]

7. I agree.

I would hate to see waste on such a grand scale. But come to think of it, when I was doing alot of business travel, there were times when it wasn't a new roll. They just folded the first sheet into a triangle and called it done. :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

10. That makes more sense. I've seen that too but far to rarely.

Tonight I have two new rolls still wearing their overwrap of protective parer but I was short one pillowcase. x( That was fixed very easily by a call to the desk.

Then I went for a swim in a guitar shaped pool.

[hippywife]

15. Where are you, Nashville? n/t

[In_The_Wind]

17. LOL ! How did you guess?

[hippywife]

18. First place that came to mind!

Has Forrest seen that smilie? LOL

[In_The_Wind]

21. I gave him that smilie a year ago.

Tonight is the first time I've used it since then.

[jus_the_facts]

2. They should burn 'em to smoke out the bed-bugs....

:rofl:

...it's really not funny though..my friend came back from Texas and her back was eaten UP by bed bugs...she was miserable and didn't think bed bugs were real until she went to the doctor and he told her different. :eyes:

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

6. I've spent more nights in hotel beds than my own bed this summer.

I know bedbugs are real but I've never fed any of 'em.



:hi:

[jus_the_facts]

12. She's always been sorta slow....

...but I felt so sorry for her...her back was one huge festerin' whelp!! :scared:

You find THE cutest smilies and cartoons!!

[In_The_Wind]

16. poor thing

Bug bites are horrible! She must have been in a deep sleep. How long did it take for her back to heal?



I love finding new smilies to entertain DU. BTW I like your smilie too!

[jus_the_facts]

19. It's been over a month and a couple places are still raw....

...she said she was wasted so I'm thinkin' she slept VERY sound...seems you'd have to be to sleep through all that bitin' and ichin'!!!

[WCGreen]

4. They use all that TP to make more pillows and mattresses....

[In_The_Wind]

8. My body feels like the bed I was sleeping on last night was made of 'em!

Only one bad mattress so far this trip.

I'm making a list of the places I won't stay again!

[WCGreen]

24. You ravel so much

You could write a Joani's Guide to safe places to stay....

[In_The_Wind]

31. I'd better find some way to pay for all of my gallivanting around.

I can tell you which hotels charge for little things like ~ having a refrigerator in the room.
Which ones provide hairdryers or irons.
Where you can find the softest sheets and extra fluffy pillows.
Did you know some hotels even hit you with a service charge when you use an 800 number phone card? :grr:

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. Maybe the staff takes them home to use?

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

9. I hope so!

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

39. Considering how little they're paid, that's my guess. nm

[In_The_Wind]

41. every little bit helps

including tips left behind by thoughtful guest

:hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

11. sell it to HS kids for cheap on Halloween

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

13. The houses are huge here! The kids need lots of paper to TP a home.

How is your studying going?

:hi: :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

14. lol...they sell in bulk?

:rofl:

its going...just been one week of school...trying to get into the groove of things

:loveya:

[petronius]

38. I was thinking that all the maids' kids are mummies for Halloween...

But your plan is better!

[ChoralScholar]

20. I don't know where YOU'RE staying

but when I check into our convention hotel in Hot Springs, there are half-rolls in the bathroom already.

:)

[In_The_Wind]

23. Tonight - Nashville. Last night - Knoxville. Night before that Richmond.

Two nights before that I was in Aberdeen and the roll wasn't new. :)

[qnr]

22. A little soaking, a little color & flavoring, some compression & Presto:

Mints!

[In_The_Wind]

26. OMG! I love it! Great answer.

That's why I never never never eat free mints!

[graywarrior]

25. They make their way into the manager's apartment.

[In_The_Wind]

27. Perks of the job.

If you don't mind using sandpaper.
I usually pack Charmin in the car on road trips.

:hi:

[graywarrior]

28. TP perks and little soaps. A manager's wet dream.

[In_The_Wind]

35. I'd call that very low maintenance.

small shampoos and lotions = very small damp dreams


good one, graywarrior

[graywarrior]

37. water spot-ettes

[In_The_Wind]

42. *giggle* you are in rare form tonight

:loveya:

[Broken_Hero]

29. nope never wondered about that

but what I usually do wonder is rooted from the Insomniac show with Dave Atell. I remember one episode where he traveled around with a guy who cleans up, well murder/homicide/suicide environments, after the police/coroner have done their task. Three of the places they went to were hotel rooms....and after they were done, you couldn't tell anything happened there...so the question I usually have is...what the hell has my hotel room walls witnessed!....:)

[In_The_Wind]

32. I don't wonder about things like that cause I'd probably have nightmares.

Wayyyy back when I was 19 I rented a house after the home-owner's wife went nuts and murdered her husband. No one had been in to clean the blood off the walls or floor. I swear his ghost kept me company for a while after I moved out a year later.

[Floogeldy]

36. I don't wonder about things like that . ..

. . . because I don't care if all trees burn in HELL! A HA HA HA HA HA, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, HA HA HA HA HA HA! Ass wiping is so important at the moment.

:evilfrown:

[In_The_Wind]

40. softness counts

[Floogeldy]

43. Ha ha ha! That's beautiful.

:)

[bertha katzenengel]

30. I hope they're parceled out among the maids, bellmen, etc.

Or maybe that's what they use in the staff & office facilities.

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

33. Any of those options would be better than discarding them.

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

34. damn right

:hug: back atcha

[hunter]

48. It's called a job "with benefits" in the New U.S.A.

Forget healthcare or pensions, but you do get toilet paper!

[pitohui]

44. don't you take them with?

if you were a more efficient consumer you wouldn't have such worries :-)

[In_The_Wind]

46. I don't take their tissues with me because I'm spoiled.

I carry Charmin with me on trips just in case the hotel TP isn't soft enough.

:hi:

[billyskank]

45. !!!

:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

47. ~

:loveya: I'm glad I could make you laugh!
