    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 like arriving 6 hours early for a flight. I have time to drink beer and take a nap on the ground.

    • Drinking at 6am - Christmas Day.
    • Sleeping on floor - After night out smashed.
    • Brushing teeth in public bathroom - After getting smashed and sleeping on the floor, heading to work.
    • $10 Water - Never acceptable.
    • Pyjamas - You ever been in a council estate.

    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!

    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.

      please don’t shave into sinks, that’s how you create horrible clogs

      just shave onto the sink and gather it up with a tissue paper and toss it in the trash can

    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.

      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

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
