Put your toothbrush in the safe? WHY??

[mia10010]

I did a search here on cruise critic for a packing list a few days ago. I'm just going over it now, and I found the strangest thing listed under Cabin/Clothing Tips. It says:

 

"Lock your toothbrush in your safe when you leave your cabin." :eek:

 

I'm almost afraid to ask, but.............WHY???

[luvsboozecruises]

This should be a good one ....

[candigirl]

Oh My!...I don't want to know the answer to this one:confused:

In case someone does "something" with it.

 

I have not kept my toothbrush in my bathroom even at home since I saw a documentary where they swabbed a reg home bathroom.

Maybe they think the cleansers will get sprayed onto the toothbrush when the cabin steward cleans the room? I can think of other reasons, but I don't really want to.

[luvsboozecruises]

I"ll START...The cabin stewards clean the toilet with it ???:eek:

[KPGirl]

The only thing I can think is that a paranoid person thinks the cabin steward will clean the toilet with it???

Go to Snopes dot com and search for tooth brush bandits:eek:

 

This is basically an urban legend with many versions having sprung up over the years including one in which the hotel housekeeper gets back at a difficult customer.

I seriously doubt that inside of a safe is any cleaner...it doesn't usually get cleaned, and people put money, wallets and other things in there that collect more germs than almost any surface in the bathroom (no, I'm not taking the whole toilet-cleaning scenario seriously :) )

They don't.

[Sh1035]

They broke into our cabin and stole everything but the camera phone how strange??????

 

Later as I was brushing my teeth was checking the phone and there was a picture of my toothbrush up his bum......

[luvsboozecruises]

Who is they ???

[lillian marie]

I take a plastic zip lock bag for my toothpaste, toothbrush, perfume, etc and leave those products in the closet when I am not using them so it's easier for the steward to clean the sink area.

In case you accidentally lock yourself inside the safe you'll still be able to brush your teeth? :cool:

[luvsboozecruises]

Take your tooth brush with you because the stewards might be saving them for the big nude boat on the freedom in feb...:):):eek::eek:

Definetly proves that things are kept on the internet forever!

Even at home our toothbrushes are in a special toothbrush house on the bathroom counter. They say bad things float around even when you flush.

[CRUISE4JANE]

JEEZ...........................this board is so entertaining. Now let me think of where I will hide my toothbrush in the future. I do though have a toothbrush holder that I always put my toothbrush in. Guess I am safe or am I? :eek:

Then you touch that special house when you get you toothbrush I presume.

Does it have a lock and key?

[Banditswife]

Thanks for the laughs folks. I have a cover for my tooth brush & I do not p--s off the cabin steward, I hope. Like someone else said- the safe is filthier than inside the toilette.
