You're not allowed to be lazy on your vacation

If you're not maniacally ripping every minute of theoretical fun out of your vacation with an insane timetable that begins at 0500, you're probably rich enough that your dietician has you fasting intermittently.

You got me fucked up if I'm waking up early on my master approved break from wage slaving. I'm waking up at noon and I'm having a bowl for breakfast.

We've let morning neurotypicals rule over us for too long!!

It is time to rebel & rebuilt!
(But a bit later, it's like 9am here)

And a sign up that says YOU MUST NOT TAKE THINGS FROM THE BREAKFAST ROOM!

Yeah, fuck you. Pockets full of churros.

This is why you don’t pay for breakfast (if you have the option), wake up late at your time and go discover a local spot and some food to eat as breakfast/lunch item.

You know another way you're not allowed to be lazy on vacation?

If you get an AirBnB, you have to clean the place before you leave.

Hotels have cleaners who clean your room so you can leave it a mess. I shouldn't have to do chores when I'm on vacation. One of many reasons I prefer hotels.

It's so weird seeing almost 500 upvotes on a post like this on lemmy where, based on comments, like 90% of it's users can barely afford rent, let alone going on vacation and staying at a place that offers breakfast.

Our vacation days generally consist of stalking the area for good food and doing tourist-y things to fill the time between meals. My partner's favorite thing to do during vacation downtime is to find more restaurants and cafes in the area for the next day, so hotel food is never a factor.

Why would I spend the time and money on a vacation just to waste it on being lazy? I can do that at home. On vacation I'm up before sunrise, take a shower, and grab breakfast before I start my itinerary for the day.

The worst breakfast I ever had was at a Courtyard Marriott that was under renovation. Since then, I made a policy to find the best local breakfast diner any place I went, even if the hotel breakfast was included.

Haven't regretted it once.

Isn't it usually like 10am? If you can't be fucked to get free food that's on you.

It's because they don't want to give out free food (but want to make it seem like they do want to give out free food), so they will make it available only when people are less likely to go for it.

I don't know where everyone is staying but I normally get a choice of single serve cereal bowls, bagels with maybe 3 types of spread, some type of juice, coffee, milk, and occasionally a selection of fruit. Everything is served with cheap plastic or cardboard not silverware, glass, cloth or ceramic.

I don't want the shitty hotel breakfast anyway, so there! 😛

I love having breakfast early in the monring in hotels when most people are still asleep. I can take my time, read in peace, no queue for the coffee, etc...

Why would I have breakfast right before going to sleep?

All the hotels i ever stay in anymore don't have a restaurant or a bar just bare bones. I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once and it had a pancake machine

Can't afford to go anywhere and sleep in a Hotel anyways.

Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.

Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, ... but still?

Lol I never got this.

Thanks for reminding me of the high school days. Very painful memories.

Just get used to eating hours-old food and you can get there at 10 just before closing time.

The staff might look at you funny, but you can wake up at any time you want and set your own schedule.

I love how they call it a continental breakfast like it's supposed to be fancy but everybody on earth actually wants an English breakfast

Hotel breakfast was my first experience eating a bagel outside of New Jersey or New York. It scarred me deeply.

10am is not sunrise
