Ticket fees

Looking at StubHub (ugh I know) and I'd actually increase my budget of price I'm willing to pay per ticket if there were less fees. Almost bit the bullet on a pair but it would've been $200 in fees which is like a whole additional ticket

 

God bless TickPick
but yeah the StubHub fees have definitely gotten worse

 

Really sorry man, I lost my last living grandparent a couple years ago and it's tough. Wishing you and her the best.

I still feel shitty that my grandfather died like 5-10 minutes before I got to the hospital

 

Ooh IDK them but I'll open a tab there too while I obsessively refresh for Olivia rodrigo tickets

 

Honestly this feels like gambling. Like is there a point where scientifically prices stop going down and I'm just screwed?! This is so stressful

 

thank you

trying to stay positive

 

People that drive through parking aisles in parking lot.

Almost got smacked by a guy who was flirting through the parking lot when the actual drive lane was maybe 10 feet to his right. Ironically enough his car was beat to shit and definitely was in a crash at some point and I imagine it happened because he was driving like an idiot through a parking lot

 

I’m sorry to hear that, my dude.

 

Getting the middle seat on a flight.

 

The absolute worst

I gotta be an aisle seat so I can pee any time I want lol

 

Window seat all the way

 

I’m 6 3 I need the aisle

 

Plus you get the added fun of tripping flight attendants!

 

aisle seat for life
why would I look at nature like a nerd when I can watch TV

 

Window seat you can only see shit for like the first and last 10 minutes of the flight.

I used to be a window seat person until I started flying more often and I learned the ways - aisle seat and all the way in the back (like 2-3 rows to the end. That way you’re close to the bathrooms but not close enough to smell it if someone deposits something foul and so you don’t have the wheels directly under you when you land), sometimes can hear interesting flight attendant stories, can board way at the end and not worry about someone being in your seat, and get first dibs on the lame snacks and drinks.

Also being 6’ 6” does not bode well for basically anything so aisle seat at least lets you stretch and twist a bit.

 

That said I will never take someone out of choosing the window seat because someone’s gotta sit there and if everyone wanted the aisle then that would be hell, so window seat folks - enjoy!

 

Only problem with being in the back is waiting to get off the plane, especially if you have to race to another plane right after but yeah this is the way. I feel like there's usually a bathroom at the front of the plane though so I'd take closer to there as the prime spot for me personally

I feel like the shitty planes I take don't even have a first class up front lol

 

Why the fuck is everyone in this thread so tall

 

I’m 6”2 if we’re adding to the tall discourse

 

I'm 5'10", average as fuck

 

6’4” baby

 

While I do like looking out the window (helps me keep calm during takeoff and landing), the window seat is an absolute imperative because it’s the only chance I have to maybe get a moment of sleep.

 

Made a rookie mistake yesterday and cut a few small habaneros without gloves. Woke up from a short nap with my hands ON FIRE. I knew not to get it on my face and other sensitive regions, but I did not expect it to fuck up my hands so bad. I kept going back and forth between scrubbing with olive oil, dawn dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and warm water (fucking ouch). Also took a bunch of ibuprofen and used aloe and ice packs all night. I could hardly sleep.

0/10 do not recommend

 

I made a bunch of habanero hot sauce yesterday without gloves, my hands were on fire for like 5 hours. Olive oil and dish soap helped while washing but the pain immediately returned when I stopped. I wound up pouring a bowl of rubbing alcohol to rest my hands in when it got bad. Lesson learned.

 

Today at work, someone needed to call me about something so I specifically asked them to do so before 4:00 because I leave the office at 4:00.

…so they called me at 3:59…
