Seen all of this at every college I’ve been to
Not going to lie, the 6:00 a.m. beer hits different.
Drinking before 6AM? LOL
There are already people bellied up to the bar as soon as it opens in airports.
I ordered a bloody Mary at an airport in Florida and the bartender looked at me, indignant, and said “sir, it is ILLEGAL to serve alcohol before 8am in this county.”
Bro, you are the one peddling addictive substances in an airport. Get off my case. For me it was midnight a few hours ago.
But it’s always before 8AM! What’s his imaginary cut off time where the previous night ends and the new day begins?
In the places I’ve lived (all US), no businesses could sell alcohol between the hours of 2am and 6am, and some alcohol licenses have even more limited hours. I’m pretty sure I overheard a cashier at the Target near my parents’ place telling a customer that they couldn’t sell alcohol until 8a, and I believe I’ve encountered some alcohol licenses with a cutoff as early as 10p.
I hear that some regions don’t allow alcohol sales at all on Sundays, but luckily I’ve never lived in any of those places.
TX had similar bullshit (nothing until 11) when I was there working overnights. It’s my 8pm. I’ve been up keeping patients alive all night. Make my drink.
The 10 dollar bottle of water is slowly becoming a thing outside of airports
Converted to roubles. That’s a lot of roubles. I can get 3.5 full lunches for this much.
I bet Diogenes would pay the senate to let him live in an airport.
Why would the Cynic pay for something, especially to the Senate?
It’s a reference to the time Diogenes payed the senate to be able to live in a Market.
Airports do not, under any circumstances, want you to sit down. They hate people who sit down. You will NEVER find a chair or a bench in a modern airport. These places are for entering in a mad dash and leaving ASAP.
If you have a layover you can straight up get fucked. Pay $400 to use the AMEX Platinum Place To Sit Down Club, cram yourself onto the most uncomfortable bar seating imaginable at a restaurant that charges you $30 for lukewarm soup, or learn how to hover.
Walking around in Pyjamas seems acceptable in a airport & Ellesmere Port it seems
Brushing teeth in public bathrooms is common in Brazil, especially those of an office.
It’s funny. In America you never see it. I brush in the bathroom at work after lunch and everyone looks at me like I’m a mental patient. Like where else am I supposed to brush after lunch? Do people just not brush their teeth after every meal?
Do people just not brush their teeth after every meal?
In the USA the norm is morning and evening. Twice a day. Only at home.
Across my life in corporate America, I’ve seen a few people doing it after lunch, but it’s very rare.
That explains why a former coworker of mine, who is from Brazil, brushes his teeth at the bathrooms after lunch at work. I thought he must have had some special reason, but I never asked because I figured it would be too much of a personal question when we weren’t that close.
No… it’s not acceptable to sleep on the floor. And It’s not ok to walk around in pajamas.
Those people can go fuck themselves with Vaseline and sea-salt.
And seriously. You can just ask for some water at any bar or coffeeshop.
Walk around in pyjamas, who cares? Oooohh, that person dresses different from how I like it, KILL ZHEM!
Sleeping on the floor? Been there. Wouldn’t have to if airport designs, you know, the places where people many times need to stay for an entire night, were not so hostile to sleeping anywhere. If those benches would allow a person to lay down when needed and nobody is around, it’d be so much nicer. That kind of also applies to cities and the homeless, but I digress.
And yeah, you can ask for some water.you have to eat there then, though, and can’t just get a nice big bottle that you need.
Airports generally suck
Who’s talking about killing? Why are you escalating it?
And no. Just ask for water. You ndont HAVE to eat there.
Oooohh, that person dresses different from how I like it, KILL ZHEM!
Jfc mate, chill out a bit.
Disagree. I will wear my most comfortable clothes. I will sit wherever I want, which includes the floor. I will sleep if delayed, even 30 min. I will not judge others for anything they have to do to get through that nonsense.
Ofc you disagree, you’re an offender. You treat the airport as if it’s your own living-room with no disregard for other people or decorum.
Bet you chew with your mouth open too
Are you one of those people who demand cashiers to be standing?
we need to normalize walking around in pajamas in any and all locales.
so comfy

Frankfurt has water fountains all over. How you miss them is beyond me. But maybe you were there 20 years ago, what do I know.

I don’t know what it is, but aside from the side effects of nicotine addiction and access problems in these spaces(which, whatever, I get it), transportation hubs (airports, train stations, ferry terminals, etc.) are my favourite places to be.
As a frequent flyer with lounge access I tend to agree. When I want to be alone with a movie or something, I can be, and when I feel like having a (free!) beer where the people are, I can do that too.
I’m so angry Delta removed lounge access from Amex Platinum card holders.
Enshitified!
I liked to think that I was a frequent flyer but the bar is set so high. I flew twice a week, every week, for nearly a year straight at my job. Only made it up to Delta Gold status recently and I can’t even access the lounge.
I already spent nearly a year of my life living in a hotel and I’m not even in the top tiers of the travel world.
You don’t spend enough. Try being rich next time.
Fuck that lol
That’s the spirit!
I don’t know about Delta (never flown with them), but with my usual airlines it’s not just the frequency, but also distance and ticket type.
Yeah I was flying domestic 600 mile (965 km) flights across the country in main cabin sardine class so I probably wasn’t racking up miles that well.
Airline status is a joke these days. If you don’t have their credit card it’s basically impossible.
public transport in general is just nice because you’re around other people, the idea of sitting isolated in a car for hours on a highway fills me with primordial dread
I have it the oposite way :( Especially the airports, they pressent themselves as this beautiful, clean location for happy traveling people. In reality it looks more like in the picture, people beeing on the edge of collapse, exhausted, living like shit
I’ve always felt like they just present themselves as transportation hubs and that’s it. They’re often very utilitarian and full of signage and whatnot. Remind me of other transport terminals.
Those little white nicotine pouches have solved my nicotine access issues while flying. I still hate that most airports completely did away with smoking areas though. I don’t smoke, but I vape. It’s pretty fucked up to put someone into an area that takes 4 hours to get into, and then not provide an area for their basic needs. Yes, I know nicotine isn’t an actual need, but it’s an addiction, and it feels like a need when you’re addicted.
Snuss. I’m about to board a plane in 14 hours and I have several cans ready. I’m a vaper too.
I prefer the white pouches because they don’t require spitting, and they don’t mess up your teeth. But I used to use the snus back when I was a smoker, before these little pouches popped up everywhere.
Snus, at least in the USA, is those white pouches that you don’t have to spit. The ones you spit are called Dip. The ones where you spit a gallon are called Chew.
I was thinking “snuff”, even though you and I both said “snus”. Thanks for clarifying. Now I know what those white packets are called. My friends and I have always used “chew” and “snuff” interchangeably and for the stuff where you spit a gallon we’ve called it either leaf, or loose leaf chew.
Ah, I remember snuff. I don’t dip too often but when I do it’s coperhagen long cut. Bought that Copenhagen snuff by mistake like 20 years ago and I think I still have it in my teeth. I genuinely do not know why anyone uses that stuff.
Snuff used to be named for the stuff people used to use (like Napoleon) and they would snort it. Lots of elegant Snuff boxes out there.
I found a jar of that once in a little convenience shop way up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was made by Levi Garrett & Sons, was in a brown jar, had an old timey label on it, and a cork in the top. For years afterwards my friends and I would pull it out when we got drunk enough and snort it. It was crazy strong. It would mess you up real good. Idk what ever happened to it. It kind of just vanished without me noticing.
Edit: “I think I still have it in my teeth” lol. Isn’t that the truth? I preferred the long cut too. But my friends who were “real men” all preferred the short cut because I guess it proves you’re a badass.
I’ve been places in the states where even airports won’t give you a beer before noon. Damn Puritans, ruining things for 250 years.
I was in an airport in NY from 5am-6am, and they didn’t serve alcohol during that hour. It was awful, and I had to wait!
They even ruined those muskets with the bell thingies on the end of the barrel. Haven’t seen one of those in centuries.
Yeah SLC is one of these. Worst layover ever.
ATL is the best layover. You can go bar hopping across the terminals using the train.
I think you’re legally allowed to kick people in the crotch in that scenario.
Yes, violence is great at convincing people to give you alcohol!
Violence is the one true power, from which all other power is derived.
This trick only works at airports.
Try it!
Having complete strangers photograph your underwear and then feel it for good measure. Espresso martini. Saying “I flew in from St Louis and BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED”.
Drinking tomato juice (more related to the airplane). WTF! never seen it in vending machines, offered on tap, in fast food joints …
But 9/10 times someone in my hearing range orders a tomato juice to chillax and drink that sweet thick pseudo-ketchup.
Tomato juice has a considerable amount of sodium in it. I wonder if there’s some sort of correlation?
It is a travesty you can’t buy it in more places. I typically ask for a virgin Bloody Mary instead.
I order. I use it to mix in my airplane bottle of vodka and the others you mention are probably doing it as well.
Be me, keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work so I can brush my teeth after lunch in the employee restroom.
A lot of Japan does this, actually.
Me too! Every morning after coffee. I work from home now, but I did this every day.
I heard from dentists it was better to do it before eating or drinking anything, as you’ve coated your mouth in the good shit to protect it. But I guess it’s splitting hairs.
I guess consistency is more important for overall dental health.
Hope you’re waiting around 15 minutes after finishing that fortee and having a drink/rinse with water before you brush, otherwise you risk damaging your enamel
It’s almost like if people understand why someone is doing something, they don’t judge them! Maybe people should just stop judging people if they don’t understand them!
I told my brain to stop judging, but for some reason it still judges!
It’s almost like
I hate when people write this
It’s almost like it turns any normal statement of fact into a sarcastic, condescending, passive-aggressive jibe for literally no reason at all
Oh there’s often plenty of reason.
Almost.
it’s almost like literally the entire point is to make it sound sarcastic, and if you want to be even more snide you can add a “huh, who coulda thunk?” at the end.
who coulda thunk?
Why just repeat what i said but even more sarcastic? Pretty sure I already made that point.
r/yourjokebutworse
I am sorry.
It’s alright
I’m judging you for saying this.
squints
I’m judging you for judging them.
hey :(
I am judging you for being sad
What are you, my therapist?
Yes, now quit stopping your medications because you feel better after taking them. That’s their point.
It’s almost that way? What would it take for it to actually be that way?
