Today, I'm watching a TV show about horrible germs in hotel rooms that you can catch from a bed... while I am stuck in a hotel room... on the bed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while working the graveyard shift at my hotel, it felt a little chilly, so I grabbed a blanket out of the box we usually store old blankets in. Twenty minutes later, the live-in maintenance man casually remarked that those blankets are all infected with bed-bugs. FML
Today, I'm staying with my in-laws. I'm obsessive about cleanliness and neatness. They're candidates for a certain show about hoarders. I want to shower in bleach. FML
Today, I'm sharing a hotel room with co-workers on a business trip. The walls are paper-thin, you could hear a pin drop, and I'm trying to make my explosive diarrhea as close to silent as possible. FML
Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML
Today, I sat in my hotel room bathroom in dead silence for 30 minutes while I waited for the cleaning staff to stop watching TV and drinking beer from the minibar, so that I could finish using the toilet. FML
Today, I discovered that my bed has a flea infestation. I discovered it after sleeping naked in it for about an hour. FML
Today, even though I'm the most neat freak germophobe there is, I was diagnosed with scabies. FML
Today, I checked into a hotel for a work trip. When I walked in, the sheets and bath mat were stained, and there was soap-encrusted hair stuck in my folded towel. When I got back later in the day, all my stuff was gone because they apparently thought I'd checked out. FML
Today, my roommate showed me a video of a cockroach crawling all over my face while I was asleep in the lounge. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went to see a horror movie. It ended up scaring her so badly that she refused to leave our bed all night long, even to pee. I have to clean the mattress now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh the instant irony! Haha. Time for some hand sanitizer and a shower.

Reality TV always over-exaggerates every situation to gain views. You'll be fine sleeping in a hotel bed one night.

Bring a sleeping bag liner with you they are silk lightweight and if you don't trust the sheets at a hotel you can sleep it in and be covered head to toe. :)

Here's a thought...change the channel if its bothering you.

So? Oh my god you learned there are GERMS on some bed that many have slept on before you? That's INSANE. Stop complaining.

Well OP, I could make it better by saying that most accidents happen at home and therefore you're less likely to be injured or killed accidentally at that hotel than at home.

Yeah, maybe that can happen in hotels/motels that are dumpy and don't wash their bed sheets in all. Most do if everyday, and germs can only live on dry surfaces like that for a couple seconds

why did you continue to watch that I would of change the channel , otherwise there would of been no chance of any sleep. im guessing you slept on the couch.

FYL because you're the only person in the world to have ever slept in a hotel bed and you had no choice but to stay on that channel...oh wait.

That sucks, but I really don't think you're "stuck" in the hotel room.

Haha! The funny part is while I'm reading this, I'm lying on a hotel bed.
