Me on vacations

We're built different
- Yes, def this.
  I trust housekeeping just walks in, sees me sleeping, gently smooch me on the forehead & quietly leave the room.
- Me when checkout is at 12:00
  
  Dam, where you going that has 12 checkouts? I see mostly 11 with some being 10.
- Paid for the whole room gonna use the whole room
- I swear it's the blackout curtains. I'll draw them tight on the first night, then have a surprise in the morning if I didn't set my alarm.
- Free breakfast ends at 10, but I'll be damned if I dont eat it and go straight back to bed.
- Nailed it
Hotels be like: yes 06:00-07:30 is the time most people eat, let's have breakfast then
- Many guests are actually there for work. If breakfast opens at 7, that's a little late for my liking. I gotta finish and drive over to the client and start timely.
In a lot of hotels people in other rooms start making noise around that time anyway, so you might as well get up and enjoy a big breakfast that you dont have to prepare yourself
- Also: you paid for that shit, damn well gonna eat it while its out there.
- Well, I probably woke up all of them 2 hours earlier stumbling to my(-ish) room.
  (Just kidding, I super don't like to make noise regardless of my state.)
People sleeping in uncovered blankets and pillows triggers me so hard, why do people do that?
- Uncovered blankets?
  
  Nude blankets
  
  I think they're talking about the duvet
- You put a blanket on your blanket?
I think its the fact that you dont have to prepare the food. You wake up, throw some shit on and just fuck off to eat for an hour straight because they have all the food you would ever want.
A change in environment often energizes people.
- That and you pay good money to go on vacation. Why would you waste it sleeping, which you can do anywhere?
  
  but you can't do it anywhere. you have work, responsibilities. the whole point of vacation is to take a break.
- The energy:
Not if I'm by myself in the hotel/trip.
I/someone paid for the bed & I'm gonna use it.
- They'll still stop serving breakfast at 9 sharp and you'll be hungry until lunch. 🙁
  
  Nah, I hate breakfast. Give me that extra sleep anyway. It's not like they are very good either.
  
  I'm good
  
  I'm not one of those people that needs to eat at precise intervals or even every day. I just eat when in hungry for something.
  In summer dinner is usually my first (and often only) meal.
  \ I almost never eat breakfasts (especially if I woke up "only" a few hours ago). Never could, even parents wanted me to but I just had better days without breakfast as a kid so they stopped insisting.
  I assume that when I travel I have access to food basically everywhere or else I know I have to plan that - which again I do in a way that I eat when I want.
  
  Go get breakfast before you go to sleep, or set alarm, grab breakfast, and have a second round of sleep.
  
  The extra hours of sleep are well worth the cost of a non-complimentary breakfast whenever I'm ready for it.
fck morning people
fck morning, people
fck, morning people
...the last thing i want is to interact with another living soul before 11.30, preferably not before 13.30: i wish they were dead, or at least not a part of the world i live in...
- You’re spiritually a morning person, just in another time zone.
To be fair. At home I ain’t got shit to do. On vacation, there’s always something to do…even rushing to the pool/beach to do more nothing.
- I think you should set up more breakfast buffets in your home... 😎
- This is the way, I retired at 35 and am now 59. I don't have enough hours on the day to do all the stuff I want to do. I start between 7-10am though.
... because you want to or because breakfast ends before you normally get up?
Am I missing the joke here? Your God damn right I'm going to be up eating the delicious breakfast buffet when I'm on vacation. And your also right that I'm going to sleep until lunch on the weekends so I don't need to expend effort for breakfast. I literally can't see doing this any other way.
- Also of course I will be up early if I'm at a hotel so I can get the most time out of my stay. Because I'm most likely somewhere where I want to experience things.
  🤷‍♂️
I just back from vacation, stayed at a hotel that had free breakfast from 6-9. I was in that hotel for a full week, didn't make it to breakfast once. Felt like a waste of money, waking up at noon and walking to a breakfast place nearby, but I'd rather pay for a meal than wake up early so 🤷‍♂️
If I am on vacation I miss about 95% of all breakfasts in Hotels. They are too early.
And if it is a free breakfast it usually is garbage anyways.
There are exceptions but they are very rare.
Anyone up at that time on holiday wears socks with crocs.
Spot on. I love being almost alone with my breakfast, tons of coffee and my book.
