Everyone with a bedspread death wish, check in here!

[Costumesaremylife]

Bedspread user reporting for duty. On another note I was just talking to my sister and saying that I have to remember I can't eat from everyone at the table's plate at a restaurant. People don't like that.

 

[*Fantasia*]

The only thing I won't do is use someone elses toothbrush.

Funny!

I don't like sharing my toothbrush nor my underwear!!

Another bedspread sitter-oner!! Of course, I don't sit on it naked, but I don't sit on mine at home naked either!!! I just can't worry about it. Have you looked at the handrails in the attraction lines lately?? Have you seen what kids do and then drag their hands over said rail??? Yep, I do carry Purell with me, in my fanny pack. But, I do at home also.
Never gotten sick while at WDW. Well, dd did once but it was the day after we arrived. She brought it with her!!! There was a lot of Purell use that trip!!

If I can go to the grocery store and Walmart several times a week and touch those cart handles, I'm not going to let a bedspread bother me.

Add that to public bathroom door handles and faucet handles! Most of us don't think of all of the nasty germs we come into contact with on a daily basis, we just wash our hands frequently! I'm sure there is some concern with the bedspreads, but no more than anything else!

I am proud to say I use the bedspreads too! I also have let the kids pick food and candy up off the floor and..... EAT IT! I believe in nature. I also had my babies all naturally. OK, so I probably wouldn't have my babies on those bedspreads, but who knows...

 

[kupperman]

I also use the bedspread. I never thought about the germs before.

 

[Betsyt82]

Count me in too. I have sat, laid, rested and napped on the top of those bed speads. Life is too short.

I never knew they didn't wash after every guest until I read it on these boards. I think they should wash but, I'm not gonna' make a fuss over it. My kids rolled all over the resort beds and floors (baby) last time before I knew and no one got ill so, I guess I'll just let 'em go again. I've never liked the way the comforters feel in a hotel so, I turn the bed down before I get in/on it.

 

[Deb & Bill]

I use the bedspread, pillows and blankets. I sit on the furniture in the villa. I get a towel from the bin at the pool. I sit on the lounges at the pool. I swim in the pool and sit in the hottub. I ride the bus and Splash Mountain. I eat at restaurants, I use the elevator. I don't clean off the remote control. I even -HEAVENS- sit on the toilet seat. I don't wipe off the top of my can of corn before I open it for lunch at the MK.

Now, what worries me are all the terrorists disguised as ordinary park guests, toting weapons of mass destruction under their clothing and in their hats. Plus the ones who drive the big motor homes and park them at the TTC parking lot in the AAA area up front or in the handicapped area and they are full of fertilizer. And the ones who have the grenades in their diaper bags on the monorail. Plus all the ones carrying smallpox and TB in syringes taped to their abdomen.

Nah, I grew up camping, digging latrines, cooking over an open fire, sleeping on the ground. I have worked in hospitals for over 28 years with ICU & ER patients. I fear no bedspread.

Tee hee--this is funny because I often grab my DH's toothbrush by mistake and use it--he gets really grossed out, but I don't care. Not as bad as when I found one of his toenails in my toothbrush WHILE I was brushing my teeth (He clips his nails in the bathroom).
I digress...Yes, I use the bedspread. We've even been known to order pizza and put the pizza box on the bedspread! HORRORS!
I can't let myself get grossed out by every little thing I come in contact with--I'd never eat at a restaurant if I did--plenty there to make your skin crawl!
BEDSPREAD USERS UNITE! WE USE 'EM AND WE DON'T CARE!
(Sorry--I think the germs have infected my brain.)
Now, did y'all see the story on "Today Show" about bedbugs? Those are GROSS!

 

[Bugsmom73]

I never let it bother me either, to many other things to worry about, like keeping my son from playing in the toilet(problem at home too) and figuring out how to keep the kids from opening the doors and escaping.

 

[msteddom]

I pull the bedspread up to my ears every night, at home or in a hotel. I'm headed for an early grave I guess!

Seems like the people who worry most about getting sick are always the ones who get sick. We don't worry and in a couple of dozen trips to WDW haven't had to pay for it yet!

There's way more germs on money than on bedspreads and I have yet to see anyone refusing to touch money!

On a somewhat related note to eating pizza on the bed. I was at a fancy pants bowling alley last night and the people in the next lane had their bowling shoes on the table, so close to thier food the shoes may have been touching the plate. I thought that was a little icky.

 

[MickeyFlirt]

I just love these bedspread threads.

Yes I use the bedspread-no I am not worries about getting sick from them. Germs are everywhere and on everything we touch and most are a lot worse than a bedspread. If I let my self think about lying in someone elses bodily fluids I might get the yuck factor going, but I just don't think about it. I wouldn't be working in a hospital if I was scared of germs or coming in contact with other people's body fluids and all nurses know that no matter how careful you are it is bound to happen.

 

[Reflection]

Not only do we (daughter and I) sit and/or lay down on the bedspread, we also walk barefoot on the carpet in the hotel room.

However, after I wash my hands in public bathrooms, I use the papertowel to grab the handle or push open the door. I see way too many people whou just exit the bathroom w/o washing their hands or who only wash their hands with water.

Guess my 'walking on the wild side' only goes so far.

 

[dmonroe]

I know those bedspread fears are valid, but we use it anyway! I just try not to think about all of the things I've read here as my family wallers all over the bedspread!

 

[imatoad]

The human body is built to ward off, fight, and build up immunities towards germs, we have become such a germ phobic society, that we are doing more harm than good. I'm not saying we should wallow in filth, but to concern yourself with every little exposure to germs, can prevent your body from building it's own defenses.

When you are a teacher...the classroom and school are your germ battle fields!!!

Amen! I teach first grade, so basically I'm exposed to the scariest, toothiest bacteria ever! With 20 children and 40 fingers in various disgusting locations for 40 hours per week, who can be afraid of a little bedspread? I will say that I'm a clean freak, but the bedspreads honestly don't bother me when you think about all the other germs we're in contact with on a daily, hourly basis.
