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 think you're legally allowed to kick people in the crotch in that scenario.
Yes, violence is great at convincing people to give you alcohol!
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!

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

Seen all of this at every college I've been to
What is this, a festival starter pack?
There's public bathrooms at your festivals?
That's what the water bottle is for.

Or LAN party
I am fully on board with brushing your teeth in a public restroom. That is perfectly acceptable behavior.
Unless you leave toothpaste in the sink, in which case you're a monster!

We tolorate so much bullshit to get on a plane. Here in the US, we allow our buttholes to be fingered and our balls to be fondled for our "safety"
Really? Which airports so I can avoid them? There are so many!
meanwhile europeans hopping on international sleeper trains (small hotels on wheels) without even having to show up an hour before departure

You mean it's NOT common practice to do all these things at Wal-Mart??
I don't know what it is, but aside from the side effects of nicotine addiction and access problems in these spaces(which, whatever, I get it), transportation hubs (airports, train stations, ferry terminals, etc.) are my favourite places to be.
I have it the oposite way :( Especially the airports, they pressent themselves as this beautiful, clean location for happy traveling people. In reality it looks more like in the picture, people beeing on the edge of collapse, exhausted, living like shit
I've always felt like they just present themselves as transportation hubs and that's it. They're often very utilitarian and full of signage and whatnot. Remind me of other transport terminals.
As a frequent flyer with lounge access I tend to agree. When I want to be alone with a movie or something, I can be, and when I feel like having a (free!) beer where the people are, I can do that too.
I'm so angry Delta removed lounge access from Amex Platinum card holders.

Those little white nicotine pouches have solved my nicotine access issues while flying. I still hate that most airports completely did away with smoking areas though. I don't smoke, but I vape. It's pretty fucked up to put someone into an area that takes 4 hours to get into, and then not provide an area for their basic needs. Yes, I know nicotine isn't an actual need, but it's an addiction, and it feels like a need when you're addicted.

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

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

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.
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?

Since when are we not brushing our teeth in public bathrooms? Hell they've even got outlets so that you can shave!
