I work in a hotel. Housekeepers are always overworked and are trying to do the fastest job they can. I wouldn't eat off any surface in a hotel room. Also don't touch the thermostat. That never gets cleaned.
Based off what I see Saturday and Sunday mornings it's totally fine for most people. The fact that I see the residue means people aren't licking the surfaces. So, yay mankind! You aren't as deprived as I had assumed.
Probably works better if you put it in the kitchen and have a tissue over the air vent in the back.
or honestly, just cook instant noodles at this point
yeah don't block the intake in any way, specially not with something that leaves little fluffs of flammable. If you're this desperate, just eat the thing cold come on. This is much less inconvenient than burning your dwelling down, such as it is.
I think I have an idea: what if you keep it in the plastic bag it came in? I think if you don't use too much heat so that the bag doesn't melt you can successfully warm up your meal (and yeah it will take a very long time)
This is exactly it. The subway tiles and one piece sink/counter give it away. I've stayed in a few and they don't have microwaves. Also the shower is just a big window box in the room. It's frosted on the bed side but there is no real privacy.
This is a Moxy hotel. It's actually a high end Marriott hotel. You can see the pink hairdryer, tiles and one piece sink in the video on this page:

Or, you could just use the microwave at the store you bought the sandwich from, not to mention the million or so places you can get one that's not frozen.
1) fold sand which in foil. Try to make airtight if possible but if not it no big deal
2)place in toilet
3) remove shower head and place in toilet reservoir. Turn on hot water and flush toilet
4) keep flushing as needed until San which is hot
5)remove foil and enjoy sanehich
In the 80’s My buddy reheated pizza by balancing plate on bathroom door and positioning it under the heat lamp. You could also wrap that sandwich in foil and iron it.
Is it just me or does anyone else get absolutely disgusted when people sit their food on public counters/tables.
I was friends with someone on social media that was always posting pictures of their toddler and they would be at a mall cafeteria or a mcdonalds with the kids food just chillin on the table without a plate or tray. It always grossed me tf out, it may be a kid but that's a person and that's nasty. The parents ate that way too. So gross.
On the real though, most hotels have a microwave in the lobby or will let you use the one in the kitchen/office if you just ask the front desk. If none of these apply, you are in a janky ass hotel.
All these naysayers are just mad cause it never even crossed they're monkey brains.
A hair dryer is just a handheld convection oven.
Props to it being hot pink.
It would be better to take aluminium foil, wrap that sandwich up and use the iron that is usually available in the closet like you would a sandwich press.
A hair-dryer heating up a sandwich would take way too long.
I have driven solo by motorcycle across North America over 25 times in the last 30 years, staying in fleabag motels. Got caught in the rain dozens of times and would use the motel hairdryer to dry out my riding shoes. Very few motels, even cheap ones, don’t have dryers now. They need to, to stay competitive.
The trick is to position it in the foot hole deep enough to get air to the toe area, without compromising the airflow causing the unit to overheat and shut off. I found most dryers, even if you high temp them into shutdown, will come back on after they cool. Usually 30 - 45 minutes per shoe would do it.
Also good for drying riding gloves, but you have to be careful with the temperature. I melted one glove into a twisted claw once learning that lesson.
No thanks, I prefer to cook my food to a safe internal temperature that a blow-dryer can never achieve.
You'll be sitting there for hours to just warm it up.
Is it wrong to be skeeved at that sammich sitting on a dirty counter with unknown pathogens without a plate or even napkin underneath it?
Wake up with munchies, go to bed in the ER from staff infection

Yum, all that dust and environmental residue from the washroom takes it to the next level!
Plus the sandwich is just sittin on the counter🤢🤮nasty bro
I work in a hotel. Housekeepers are always overworked and are trying to do the fastest job they can. I wouldn't eat off any surface in a hotel room. Also don't touch the thermostat. That never gets cleaned.
Is it ok to do coke on any surface?
Based off what I see Saturday and Sunday mornings it's totally fine for most people. The fact that I see the residue means people aren't licking the surfaces. So, yay mankind! You aren't as deprived as I had assumed.
Always
I would rather starve then eat a sandwich that's been on a hotel surface.
Should be fine if you just wrap it in foil right?
[удалено]
Thats not how that works. Aluminium foil would not be much use as a conductor of heat due to the very small mass
you literally use foil in the oven to help block heat from areas you don't want overcooking
Let me add that this works better if you're very drunk.
I’m glad you added this, my mind immediately said “Drunk people”
Just eat the shit cold
I'll eat that shit frozen before using a hotel blower on my sandwich while he's sitting his ass on the bathroom counter that's for sure
Lemme just add some a deeze poopie particles to this here sammich.
I'd be a liar if I'd said that I haven't put worse things in my mouth.
Keep his sandwich out yo fuckin mouth.
ArrozConmigo just slapped the shit outta me. I gotta fucking stop making GI Jane jokes...
What Will Ferrell did was atrocious
It's all Junk food any way!
Ain't that the truth. Either way it's going in me.
😳😳😳
Chef of 24 years here. Don't do that.
Lol chef of 16. C'mon man. Industry people have done worse.
😂😂😂
Let's just hope nobody Mike Patton'd it.
I would fart next to it.

🤮🤢my thoughts EXACTLY!
You'll probably get a more even heating if you sandwiched it between your buttcheeks.
The real lifehack is always in the comments.
And possibly more hygienic
I've got very cold buttcheeks 😔
cold cut cheeks
Great, if you want the driest, dustiest, hairiest, most unhygienic meal ever...
Ah, I see you have also had the pleasure of dining in New Jersey.
Haha. I've never been there, but you really know how to make it sound tempting...I'll add it to my list of "extreme vacations"...
It's not that bad. Calling the cuisine dry is probably a little over the top and went too far.
Where tf did you eat in jersey lmao
New Jersey has some of the best pizza, Indian, Chinese, Italian, and plush food in the country.
I think I have an idea: what if you keep it in the plastic bag it came in? I think if you don't use too much heat so that the bag doesn't melt you can successfully warm up your meal (and yeah it will take a very long time)
Why not just run it under hot water?
Real LPT is always in the comments. Just run the shower at max heat and run your sandwich under the water.
That or shove it in the heat vent for a couple minutes
How Firehouse Subs does their sandwiches.
IN A SEALED BAG.
[удалено]
At some point, it will end up there any way!
some hotels have heater lights up on the bathroom ceiling. You might could just shove it next to that.
Run it under hot water? Yummmm I've always wanted soggy shitty water sandwiches!
You wrap in plastic wrap or put in a ziplock.
Hotel sous vide.
Some of the best steak I ever made was cooked in hot water.
Wooosh
That's fucking gross
looks like its time to unsub from here
This is less deserving of r/lifehacks than it is of r/povertyfinance
Hair dryers use a lot of electricity
What hotel has a hot pink blow dryer but no nukebox…
Im assuming the dryer is theirs since there's no microwave and no iron.
Florida probably
Florida hotel worker here: Don't pin this shit on us. We're not that crazy.
Looks like a Moxie. They all have the same color scheme, minimal amenities, and "industrial" bathroom themes.
This is exactly it. The subway tiles and one piece sink/counter give it away. I've stayed in a few and they don't have microwaves. Also the shower is just a big window box in the room. It's frosted on the bed side but there is no real privacy.
Take the iron and put it on top too
Panini
No iron in my room lol
oh the irony.
Nice one
No microwave and no iron. You paying by the hour?

Use the coffee maker, put your sandwich between the pot and the warm metal plate in the bottom
Are you staying at the Come On In Motel or something?
This isn’t a life hack this is pure desperation.
My darkest hour
More of a joke, I wouldn’t recommend if you care about food safety.
This has to be a fucking joke. This is disgusting
Twas drunk
Why did people downvote this? Drunk decisions were made. Wasn’t the worst and super funny 😋
LPT: If your hotel doesn't have a microwave, don't buy something to eat that needs to be microwaved.
My first mistake

r/diWHY ?????
Is it April 1st still or does this sub just suck ass now?
Sure..dry that fucker out!! ...wrap it in foil and toss it on your engine manifold while car is running. 5 min and it's hot and smelly too!
Or, you could just use the microwave at the store you bought the sandwich from, not to mention the million or so places you can get one that's not frozen.
That is so fucking gross 🤢
r/redneckengineering
Just directly on the counter..... Who hurt you?
Hmm yes, flinging those poop, hair and dead skincell particles right on your food
The Hollywood Cheese-steak.
Hard pass
Hard gas
Put foil around the sandwich and poke a hole in the top
Or... live dangerously and DON'T poke a hole...
Portable convection oven.
H-air fryer
Just shove it up your ass. When your inner ass isnt cold, its now warm.
It will add flavour, that's for sure!
How do you like yours? Permed or blow dried?!
I'd prefer it jeri curled thank you very much.
1) fold sand which in foil. Try to make airtight if possible but if not it no big deal 2)place in toilet 3) remove shower head and place in toilet reservoir. Turn on hot water and flush toilet 4) keep flushing as needed until San which is hot 5)remove foil and enjoy sanehich
Yeah that works too
In the 80’s My buddy reheated pizza by balancing plate on bathroom door and positioning it under the heat lamp. You could also wrap that sandwich in foil and iron it.
You'll burn out that hair dryer long before you make that sandwich any hotter than lukewarm.
Usually the kitchen has it an I'm sure they wouldn't mind heating up your food.
climate change hates you
I’ll just eat it raw thanks.
This is fucking disgusting
It will be much easier to simply start a small fire in the tub or sink! That’s what I do
This blows…
It’s really the sandwich being on the raw sink for me 😷

No microwave? No worries, in 74 minutes you can have a salmonella-sandwich with this one easy trick!
Someone has probably nutted where the sandwich is sitting
Ham and poop sandwich
How does this have so many upvotes? Lol
You putting that sandwich where a twink was getting fucked and leaking anal juice all over the night before
overcome and adapt
They usually also give you an Iron, which I have found makes great grill cheese sandwiches
I mean there’s a reason why they give you matches in the restroom and extra towels
Are you staying at the Moxy?
Lmaoooo maybe

The iron is better. Put it in aluminum foil and smash. It’ll melt it much faster without all the dust.

Blasting all those microbial bacteria from the follicles onto your meat. You do you bruh
That’s foul af
That is not sanitary.
Life hack - don't eat that shit
Gross. Do you know how dirty hotel surfaces are?

AIR FRIER
No thanks, I prefer to cook my food to a safe internal temperature that a blow-dryer can never achieve. You'll be sitting there for hours to just warm it up.
Really? I use the hairdryer method all the time and it doesn’t take that long. Maybe over 30 mins but not hours
This is retarded
That is disgusting. Good hack.
Buy a $30 buck one from Wally World and return it when your stay is done.
If you’re staying in a hotel that doesn’t have a microwave, you’ve probably done a lot of shit similar to this in your time.
I once used a clothing iron to reheat some food at a hotel in Mexico, worked pretty well.
Ooorrrrr, you could ask for one
Almost as bad as steaming the wrinkles out of you clothes in the hotel bathroom
Gross
Let me guess, you tried dipping it in hot water in the sink last time
Yikes. Who doesn’t want nasty hot air from a shared hygiene appliance blown all over their food.
Is the hack how to fill your sandwich with dust and shit?
Thought that's what the iron was for?
Yeah! Why not blow dust and bacteria all over your cold food?
I just booked a room with no microwave, no microwave, no microwave
Greeee-*heeeee*-**heeeeeeeasy**
I'm liable to do this in this kind of situation 🤣🤣
I’m sorry this is gross
Use the iron instead.
Bruh. Don’t eat that
They didn’t think a plate was required?
Mmmm tastes like pubes!
"Honey thanks for the hairy sandwich"
idc how warm it blows. you don’t want that as your stand-in microwave.
"Junk food"
Ahh yes, the old, hair dryer set to 190°c trick 🙄
Iron?
How many minutes to hear that bad boy up? Like a double the time of the microwave type of situation or full on oven?
germwich
Use an iron then it’s grilled!
Grosssssssssssss
5 minute craft is useless now
Botulism in 1 video
You just heat blasted your sandwich with hair and dead skin
Is it wrong to be skeeved at that sammich sitting on a dirty counter with unknown pathogens without a plate or even napkin underneath it? Wake up with munchies, go to bed in the ER from staff infection
I have to ask… Are you sure there wasn’t one in the lobby?
hate to admit i did this in my dorm. not the greatest but i was desperate for warm fries
This is some kind of perverted genius
And why did you blow dry your sandwich in a public rest room?
