Hostel Life

I am starting to get Hostile about Hostels. So today I am going to share a bit I will call, YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN A HOSTEL IF...
You know you're living in a Hostel if everytime you enter a room you keep checking to make sure it's not you that smells.
...if the hair ball in the shower drain grosses you out more than it normally would, because you know it's not yours!
...if you would really enjoy washing your feet, but the shower is a 20 inch cubicle that barely gives you room to turn around.
...if the one plug in the room is on the opposite side of the room as the one mirror so you play a game I like to call, "What will my hair look like today."
...if there are no electric outlets in the bathrooms.
...if the thought of taking off your shoes even in your room makes your stomach turn.
...if you plan at least an hour to check your email because you know there will be a "cue" of people waiting to check their Facebook.
...if when you sit down on the lovely furniture in the common room you start to itch.
...if your favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich loses it's charm after 5 days in a row.
...if even though you're not a germaphobe, after watching all the "kids" in the hostel do dishes, the thought of eating, let alone eating on a plate or drinking from a cup in the kitchen makes you squeemish.
...if NO SMOKING IN THE HOSTEL means you can stand just outside the doors while the wind blows the smoke in.
...and for that matter, if you're the only one who isn't smoking.
...the plaque on the wall that reads, Cleanliness Rating from the Northern Ireland Housing Inspector - GOOD, makes you wonder if the person checking had ties to Stevie Wonder.
...if your bed linens consist of a full size sheet that you fold over to make a top and a bottom sheet.

Ok, that is all for right now. I am sure I will think of others later. My head has been itching like crazy every since I started writing this. I sure hope it's all in my head... not on my head!

Read on for the happenings of today.
