I thought bed bugs were spread by Paris Hilton and her ilk.

No, that would be crotch crickets.

*pppsssst*

It's called "humor."

Phew...that's a relief. You never know around here. Just scroll up!

My friend was in a large restaurant chain, when a stuffed head of an animal fell off the wall and on to her head. She had to be hospitalized and she still has to have therapy and surgery. You have no idea how hard this chain has made it for her. She would have settled for medical costs, but because they were so difficult, she's going for the jugular. The way a customer is treated immediately after the event determines how they will proceed.

In this case, We don't know what the hotel did or didn't do. That being said...as in any lawsuit, they'll ask for the sky, and then they'll settle for something reasonable

I've noticed a lot of hotels have a "green" policy, meaning they encourage us to "save the planet" by not having our room sheets replaced with clean ones every day.

I notice it's some of the nicer hotels that are doing this. I think it's laughable that they're trying to guilt us into not having our sheets changed at the prices they're charging. If the budget motels have no problem providing clean sheets daily, I expect the better hotels to do so also.

That's for sure! I at least want to recap what I pay in mystery-hotel-taxes. My new policy is to have them change ALL the towels - even the ones we didn't use. I hate that "don't you want to save the planet?" crap. I'm always looking for ways to increase my carbon footprint!
