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.

[–] SidewaysHighways 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bowl of peanut butter crunch.

After ripping a steamroller of course

ripping a steamroller across your favorite shirt.

After getting high of course

high up in the hotel because the club level’s breakfast has an omelette station.

After smoking marijuana of course

The smoked marinara dipping sauce is a regional favorite, complementary offered at all meals to the hotel's guests.

After inhaling thc vapors purely for recreation of course

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

It is time to rebel & rebuilt!

I honestly aggree. I arranged my shit quite well, started working late, worked till it's late. It is how I like it, I get really productive at ~15:00 till ~19:00. Now my children go to school (therefore I have to get up early) and they banned working after 18:00 at my company (thanks labour union, I get what you wanted to do, but you screwed me). My productivity dropped so much it stresses me out and I am constantly tired, because I don't sleep enough.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Same - I've basically forced my employer to de facto let me work whenever I want.

I mean, they just like the output they get and with literally no drawbacks, so it's especially shitty knowing that I've basically been fighting some ... traditions?

Its literally just full on discrimination (as classification I mean), it's just too much of a dispersed problem to gain attention & we are all brainwashed (starring late is considered lazy yet finishing early isn't).

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

Yeah, fuck you. Pockets full of churros.

Damn I need to stay at your hotels. The ones I stay at usually you're lucky if you get fresh fruit

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.

[–] time_fo_that 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Only reason I use an AirBNB is if it's a unique location where there are no hotels (like a cabin in the woods on a river or something) but I agree, I only book ones that don't have a ridiculous checkout policy.

I also hate that private equity has taken over towns with short term rentals making the rest of us pay more in rent.

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.

City vacations: restaurant hunting

Nature vacations: grueling 6am deathmarch #87

Beach vacations: binge drinking and washing sand out of things

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.

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

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.

[–] Glytch 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I honestly wouldn't know because they clean that shit up at 9:30.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I have never seen a hotel breakfast that wasn't being put away by 9am.

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Free food? Since when is the hotel food free?

Here you always have to pay for it even if you usually do it when booking

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (9 children)

I would expect most lemmings, like myself, to have spent more time in company-paid hotel rooms than vacation hotel rooms

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...

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

If I wanted to wake up before my biological clock tells me to and follow a schedule, I could just go to work.

That sounds like work with extra steps.

[–] thecodeboss 14 points 4 months ago

You can also maximize your time sleeping in too. Stay out and have fun on the town, head back to the hotel at 3am. Some people are night owls, some people like mornings. Nothing wrong with either.

Personally waking up before sunrise feels awful for my body and brain function, but I get it.
