It's the little things that suck when travelling

[Liar]

1. Hotels with stupid placement for power outlets.

I'd like to charge my phone, and also have it within reach when I sleep. Which is why the only socket is placed behind a cabinet in the other end of the room. And god forbid you also want to charge a computer at the same time.

 

[Liar]

2. The Great Waiting In Lines Bonanza.

Hotel check-out, valet, rental drop-off, shuttle, airport check-in, baggage drop, security, passport control, boarding, disembarking, passport control again, baggage claim, shuttle, rental pickup, traffic, hotel check-in. Repeat the following day.

You should just Stay Home

3. Relying on other people's choice of toilet paper.

I'll spare you the details.

 

[Liar]

You should just Stay Home

That doesn't pay the bills.

The best thing about flying to the Great Satan from Dublin is that you do all the immigration/ security crap in Ireland. Much quicker than the two hour line at JFK or wherever.

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed that bloke.

I like hotels

Me too. It's the getting there that can be a pain in the ass.

JFK is the worst. Flew in to McCarran/Las Vegas directly. Immigration was surprisingly chill.

Sounded more like vacation, especially this time of year.

Anoyances really don't count when its work...it pays the bills

Yeah, JFK is awful. Newark, surprisingly, isn't bad at all.

Having driven across several states and back a few months ago, the only thing I can complain about hotels is the layout of the rooms in relation to lobby.

At one of the hotels I stayed the lobby/check-in had a very high ceiling (40' high). The rooms, meanwhile, were arranged facing this lobby.

As a result, every word someone spoke while in the lobby echoed to the rooms above. If you happened to have a room overlooking the lobby, good luck getting sleep if you're a light sleeper or didn't bring earplugs.

JFK?
No way it could be worse than LAX (the international transit area, that is).

 

[phrodeau]

If you're tired of waiting for the check-in clerk, just run to the pool, strip down and jump in. Someone will suddenly become available to assist you.

Nothing beats getting bedbugs from a - so-called posh - hotel, and then having an important meeting first time in the morning (so no time to buy a piece of clothing to cover your arms).

When travelling, if you stay in a superior hotel, there are almost certainly little things that suck...look in the lobby bar.

4. Trying to remember when and how much it's appropriate to tip in whatever country you're in.

Or plug in your Magic Wand.

I don't think I've ever had a buggy bed actually.

That's not where I plug in my Magic Wand.




You know I had to say it.

5. Operating a new shower by trial and scalding error.

Hashtag's definition of posh differs from that we mostly use.

Whereas yours must be something where even the towels or toilet paper have quotes from Shakespeare printed on them.
