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.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you're legally allowed to kick people in the crotch in that scenario.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, violence is great at convincing people to give you alcohol!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Violence is the one true power, from which all other power is derived.

I was in an airport in NY from 5am-6am, and they didn't serve alcohol during that hour. It was awful, and I had to wait!

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah SLC is one of these. Worst layover ever.

ATL is the best layover. You can go bar hopping across the terminals using the train.

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

That's basic airport etiquette.

Arrives on time. Flight is delayed for five hours. Welp hitting the bar I guess.

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!

I'm judging you for saying this.

What are you, my therapist?

Yes, now quit stopping your medications because you feel better after taking them. That's their point.

What is this, a festival starter pack?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Or LAN party

[–] graham1@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Seen all of this at every college I've been to

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean it's NOT common practice to do all these things at Wal-Mart??

[–] neptune@dmv.social 25 points 1 year ago

Having complete strangers photograph your underwear and then feel it for good measure. Espresso martini. Saying "I flew in from St Louis and BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED".

Drinking tomato juice (more related to the airplane). WTF! never seen it in vending machines, offered on tap, in fast food joints …

But 9/10 times someone in my hearing range orders a tomato juice to chillax and drink that sweet thick pseudo-ketchup.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

Tomato juice has a considerable amount of sodium in it. I wonder if there's some sort of correlation?

[–] nezbyte@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It is a travesty you can’t buy it in more places. I typically ask for a virgin Bloody Mary instead.

Are airports as a whole liminal spaces?

[–] Bertz@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

An airport fits the definition pretty well

Be me, keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work so I can brush my teeth after lunch in the employee restroom.

  • 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.

I bet Diogenes would pay the senate to let him live in an airport.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would the Cynic pay for something, especially to the Senate?

Brushing teeth in public bathrooms is common in Brazil, especially those of an office.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

Walking around in Pyjamas seems acceptable in a airport & Ellesmere Port it seems

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Fuck not brushing your teeth regularly and having unbrushed teeth from lunch till night time.

I try to brush my teeth three times a day. Used to have regular issues, now I don't and my teeth are less yellow.

No brainer.

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I found out in some cultures brushing your teeth three times a day is the norm.

I asked my dentist about it and he said if you brush twice a day and floss once a day that's the most important. You're better off doing something else, like not eating sugar, probably won't get much benefit from brushing three times a day.

Maybe you need a better electric toothbrush or your toothpaste is shit?

to be fair, everyone's teeth are different - some people just get blessed with healthy teeth, and if you don't eat messy, you might be good with a sip of water in between morning / evening tooth brushing. After all, cave men also didn't get caries in their 20-something years of life at least.

Not going to lie, the 6:00 a.m. beer hits different.
