Even the worst hotels in the country offer two things in every hotel room: a bed, and a coffee pot.
Now, that’s not to say that the bed is going to be the cleanest or most comfortable, and the same can be said for the coffee pot’s cleanliness status.
But at least the coffee is typically available in a single-serve package that (one hopes) hasn’t been tampered with.

Whenever Web Watch wants to try a new restaurant in a new city, we turn to our online resources for hints and tips from the locals — because you should always eat where the locals eat.
Usually, the online reviews we find are relatively accurate. In one place we ate at recently, the review said to avoid the paella. We should have listened – it really wasn’t that good.
Web Watch can recall some good times eating at the college cafeteria.
From the unlimited double-cheeseburgers to the fresh scooped chocolate milkshakes (salad bar be damned!), the all-you-can-eat cafeteria was well worth the daily fee that the 21-meals a week program required.
Oh, there were some naysayers. Some thought that they could eat better in their dorm room for $5 a day, cooking only with a hot pot and a down-the-hall microwave. An in-room kitchenette? A shared refrigerator? These would be luxuries that were not available at the time.
Of course, today is different, and students are picking their colleges for their food as much as they are for their education.
It’s that time of year again, when a young co-ed’s thoughts turn to partying down.
Over the years, Web Watch has shared with you PLAYBOY’S PARTY SCHOOLS list, but they typically are released in the Spring, when high school students are making their choices for where to attend school in the Fall.
This year, Playboy has decided to release their list in the Fall — probably to allow high school seniors a full year to consider where they would like to apply to over the coming months (and for incoming college freshmen to reconsider their collegiate choice, for at least one semester).
Office bathrooms are usually a stinky, awful mess.
You have any number of people who don’t wipe down counters, pick up paper towels off the floor. And is there really a need in an adult environment to have to post a sign that says, “do not flush paper towels, they will clog the toilet”? How many people are really doing this? Who’s taking paper towels into the toilet stall in the first place? Are they really that much more comfortable than the typical office toilet paper to use? Really? REALLY?

When was the last time you flew on an airplane?
If you’re a recent traveller, then you already know all the ins-and-outs of airplane features and add-on costs. You carry your own luggage, bring your own snack, supply your own headphones.
For you, the airplane is merely a means of getting from Point A to Point B, and isn’t intended to be a luxurious place to relax for a few hours.

Annoying insects bother people year round. Whether it be creepy crawly insects inside the house that make your skin crawl, or stinging/biting insects that prevent you from enjoying your outdoor space – bugs are just, well, buggy.
But how bugged are we by the bugs around us?

A good bowl of cereal and Saturday morning cartoons were a rite of passage for many growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. Today’s kids don’t know what quality kids-oriented TV programming was, since everything now has to be sanitized to ensure that nothing is directly marketed towards kids.
Remember McDonaldland and all the fun characters that Ronald McDonald used to hang out with? Don’t see them much on TV anymore, do you? It’s a surprise that they still show up at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, considering the promotional aspect of having a clown as your spokesman.
