Diarrhea in the jacuzzi

Not to poop on your parade, so to speak, but are you sure it was poop? How do you know it wasn’t some unidentified sludge? Or even, say, chocolate? Maybe the pumps had some sort of funky goop growing it in for some reason.

I think your story is full of shit! :wink: :smiley:

That’s the kind of shit that would happen to me…

AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH

Huuuuuuhhhhhhuuuuuuuhhhhh

YAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG

Oh man. Oh man. I feel for ya. That is like my worst nightmare. I sometimes have nightmares where I really have to go to the washroom, but every toilet in the vicinity is overflowing with filth. You had it worse. In real life. Euuugh. Weeeeugh!
…that being said, pictures please! I’m a sucker for punishment. :smiley:

Front desk confirmed there was an “problem” over the weekend, and they apologized profusely. There was a look of utter terror on the manager’s face when I told him what room I was in, and that I had a serious health concern with the hot tub. They never actually came out and confirmed it was poop, but they didn’t need to, and I didn’t expect them to. But we both knew that the other guy knew. FTR, they also gave me a new room, comped my entire 7 days, and gave me 500 club bonus points to boot.

I’m still not happy, but I’ll get over it. gah gah gah

I nominate this for best thread ever. It’s in a category with “The Horror of Blimps.”

I suspect someone with a prehensile rectum pooped in the intake. Do you know anyone with a prehensile rectum?

That’s pretty rude, leaving a turdpedo packed into a submerged jet for the next guest. Man, them hockey fans is rough.

Sanijet Whirlpool Tubs
Luxurious jetted tubs in variety of designs & sizes. Pipeless & clean.

If there were kids involved, don’t discount the idea that some punk kid stashed a fresh turd in the pipes. I’ve worked at a motel and it’s amazing the amount of vandalism people think is OK- almost every other day I had to go fetch a wad of towels from deep in a toilet where the last customer shoved them (they do it in such a way that a fresh flush or two works and that the blockage is not visible- so the housekeepers have no way of telling). I doubt the housekeepers or the motel owners knew or had any good way to know about the fecal escapades of the previous renter.

Happy, Are you sure you only had one beer? It sounds to me like you were shitfaced. After all that showering, you must be pooped.

I never saw a hot tub that you had to fill yourself prior to use. All the ones I’ve seen have always been prefilled and heated and ready to jump into. And for the reason that this thread has so graphically illustrated, I’ve never been keen on using them. I’ve always imagined that they were full of the dissolved bodily scum of earlier soakers, no matter how clean they looked. Thanks to this thread, I will never, ever use a public hot tub again.

A slight hijack but since you’re travelling on business, the comping really benefits your company or your client, not you, right? Does the 500 club-point bonus really compensate you sufficiently?

That reminds me of years ago when a colleague was ousted from his hotel room due to a fire - saved his company the cost of a room but did nothing for him. And similarly when I was at a hotel whose hotwater system died, so we had no hot showers. Saved my company money but did me no good.

BTW - Horrifying experience turned into a beautiful (?), funny OP. Now that’s what the SDMB is all about :smiley:

This is an issue that needs to be taken to the Public Health Department. Seriously. People get sick from this kind of shit exposure. When I lived in Salt Lake City and it was pool weather (about 10 days out of the summer), young mothers (you know who I mean) would allow there babies to float and dip into the apartment pool, in their diapers. Then the next day, invariably a notice would be posted that the pool was closed due to fecal exposure. The Health Dept. would come out, drain the pool, scrape it, disinfect it, then fill it again. I went to a tanning booth for the very first time in my life, that summer.

I suggest not even farting in the pool, because it may become a shart, and then we have a floating dense package of bacteria.

Just think, you were inhaling aerosolized poop particles the whole time you were in the tub. And don’t forget you used the same shower that the original poop artist used to clean himself off in.
One more thing;
Bed spreads don’t ever get changed.

Enjoy.

You’re thinking of the hot tubs/spas that are usually next to the swimming pool at a hotel, which are there for everyone to use. I think what the OP is talking about is a jacuzzi tub – an oversized bathtub with water jets – in his hotel room.

God I almost wish this thread would die, it’s like a horrid magnet to my eyes whenever I look at MPSIMS… almost. And yet, it’s so MPSIMS, I can’t bring myselt ot truly wish it.

Other than not… you know… gettin’ all combustible and burning to death.
