finger it " opss finger prints.

I would tell them that it had bben used and to wash it! and fix me another drink!

if there are finger prints there is nothing much you can do, jsut accept it, even if you brign it your guests notice, it will only br embarassing for both of you

If happen in my side i just ask another glass, specially if i see they are so busy, specially if in special occasion, because we know how tired they are, even just watching how they serve.

either im not observant or something since i have never ran into this.. and i some times eat out a lot

I do attend some occasion and it happen a lot of time well first if the place is in the Hotel I just told those waitress or waiter to change the glass for it have a print unto it and it is unclean for me but in friends house in which I am used too I just got to change it by myself......

I will complain if it were a restaurant - I'll ask for the waiter or probably the manager. But if it was someone's home, I'd politely bring my glass to the kitchen and ask for a replacement. I won't do it infront of the other guests because that will embarrass the host.

i will not complain BUT i will not ignore it coz seeing that fingerprint in the glass will bother me : if the person's hand who held that glass are clean or not...can you imagine drinking on the glass when you know millions of germs are on it? i will wash it secretly or wipe it with a clean cloth, to be safe.
