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.

Why do you need a dietician to run an IF protocol?

You will not find that I have said so. Hope this message finds you comfortably hungover and ten-fingered this Roswell Day

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)

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.

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).

me: aww yea I'm gonna get some hotel waffles this morning

hotel: sir it is 9:01 we are closed.

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 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.

“Vacation is basically just eating at different locations.”

City vacations: restaurant hunting

Nature vacations: grueling 6am deathmarch #87

Beach vacations: binge drinking and washing sand out of things

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] 29 points 11 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

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.

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.

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! 😛

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (20 children)

Have you been to a hotel breakfast in Europe? So heavenly

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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (8 children)

The last time I stayed at a hotel, they stopped filling the breakfast bar at like 7 and served whatever was left until 9.

I used to travel for work quite a bit, and that one had one of the more generous breakfast offerings.

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 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] 25 points 11 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

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

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...
