An FO once told me he knew a FA that was telling him about how she always would wash her underwear in the hotel coffee maker whenever she needed a extra pair.

Years ago (decades ago?), when hotel coffee makers consisted of small glass carafes on hot plates, this urban legend had legitimate roots.

Take a look at the modern single-cup fast brew machines you find in hotel rooms today and ask yourself if that even makes sense anymore.

Taken moments ago at the Canton Holiday Inn (possibly the worst hotel in our system).

Well, there ya go.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?



Not to mention the fact that many of the guys who complain about unmentionables in their coffee pot would take great pleasure in removing the same unmentionables with their teeth ... well, maybe some of the guys ...

I can say that the beds at the Residence Inn at DFW sucks balls.

My back is f'ed after a week here.

Only a week left in hell. I mean CAE.

It's sad when I know more about the plane I'm getting a type in than the instructor.

Yup, you got it. I found BOTH men's and women's panties in the coffee machines. It wasn't THAT long ago. Perhaps it ads some extra vitamins?

That makes me so glad that I'm drinking beer and not coffee.

Good point; you could always "request a visual"
