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.
This trick only works at airports.
Try it!
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!
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.
They even ruined those muskets with the bell thingies on the end of the barrel. Haven’t seen one of those in centuries.
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!
I’m judging you for saying this.
I’m judging you for judging them.
hey :(
I am judging you for being sad
What are you, my therapist?
Yes, now quit stopping your medications because you feel better after taking them. That’s their point.

It’s almost that way? What would it take for it to actually be that way?
It’s almost like
I hate when people write this
It’s almost like it turns any normal statement of fact into a sarcastic, condescending, passive-aggressive jibe for literally no reason at all
it’s almost like literally the entire point is to make it sound sarcastic, and if you want to be even more snide you can add a “huh, who coulda thunk?” at the end.
who coulda thunk?
Why just repeat what i said but even more sarcastic? Pretty sure I already made that point.
r/yourjokebutworse
Almost.
Oh there’s often plenty of reason.
If ya say so buddy
I am sorry.
It’s alright
I told my brain to stop judging, but for some reason it still judges!
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 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.
Enshitified!
I liked to think that I was a frequent flyer but the bar is set so high. I flew twice a week, every week, for nearly a year straight at my job. Only made it up to Delta Gold status recently and I can’t even access the lounge.
I already spent nearly a year of my life living in a hotel and I’m not even in the top tiers of the travel world.
You don’t spend enough. Try being rich next time.
Fuck that lol
That’s the spirit!
I don’t know about Delta (never flown with them), but with my usual airlines it’s not just the frequency, but also distance and ticket type.
Yeah I was flying domestic 600 mile (965 km) flights across the country in main cabin sardine class so I probably wasn’t racking up miles that well.
Airline status is a joke these days. If you don’t have their credit card it’s basically impossible.
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.
Snuss. I’m about to board a plane in 14 hours and I have several cans ready. I’m a vaper too.
I prefer the white pouches because they don’t require spitting, and they don’t mess up your teeth. But I used to use the snus back when I was a smoker, before these little pouches popped up everywhere.
Snus, at least in the USA, is those white pouches that you don’t have to spit. The ones you spit are called Dip. The ones where you spit a gallon are called Chew.
I was thinking “snuff”, even though you and I both said “snus”. Thanks for clarifying. Now I know what those white packets are called. My friends and I have always used “chew” and “snuff” interchangeably and for the stuff where you spit a gallon we’ve called it either leaf, or loose leaf chew.
Ah, I remember snuff. I don’t dip too often but when I do it’s coperhagen long cut. Bought that Copenhagen snuff by mistake like 20 years ago and I think I still have it in my teeth. I genuinely do not know why anyone uses that stuff.
Snuff used to be named for the stuff people used to use (like Napoleon) and they would snort it. Lots of elegant Snuff boxes out there.
I found a jar of that once in a little convenience shop way up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was made by Levi Garrett & Sons, was in a brown jar, had an old timey label on it, and a cork in the top. For years afterwards my friends and I would pull it out when we got drunk enough and snort it. It was crazy strong. It would mess you up real good. Idk what ever happened to it. It kind of just vanished without me noticing.
Edit: “I think I still have it in my teeth” lol. Isn’t that the truth? I preferred the long cut too. But my friends who were “real men” all preferred the short cut because I guess it proves you’re a badass.
You mean it’s NOT common practice to do all these things at Wal-Mart??

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!
That’s just people that do the same thing no matter where they are.
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”
What airports are you going to??
(Seriously, asking for a friend)
do an image search for “tsa fail” and turn safe-search off
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
we allow our buttholes to be fingered and our balls to be fondled for our “safety”
what??
do an image search for “TSA fail” with safe-search off
Prostate and testis exams are vital though ;p
Only if a real doctor is doing it. Not a power tripping idiot who failed the police academy.
And to fail the police academy here in the US is an impressive level of stupidity.
Imo the real damage to society was done not by terrorists but by the politicians who enacted counter terrorist laws
Who funded those groups? who put them up to what they did?
I’ll give you a hint, the people that did those things created a problem to sell a solution.
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”.
Are airports as a whole liminal spaces?
An airport fits the definition pretty well
Yes.
But one can be a bit more specific and think of their long corridors as liminal spaces, but the cafés and stores in them as not. I flu a few times per year out of the same airport, and typically wait in the same café for over one hour. I use this time to rest a bit before getting on the flight and eat something, and it doesn’t feel liminal at all.
Flying into small fields in a small plane can be an interesting experience; some are actually quite busy, they’ll either have a popular mechanic shop on the field, a busy local flight school, or it’s a destination for business jet travel because of a local golf course or something. Others are almost abandoned, which can be an interesting experience to visit.
- 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.
Pyjamas - You ever been in a council estate.
you don’t have to get dressed when you’re still in the estate mum. it’s not like going OUT.
Out out?

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?
It is a travesty you can’t buy it in more places. I typically ask for a virgin Bloody Mary instead.
I order. I use it to mix in my airplane bottle of vodka and the others you mention are probably doing it as well.

Brushing teeth in public bathrooms is common in Brazil, especially those of an office.
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?
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.
That explains why a former coworker of mine, who is from Brazil, brushes his teeth at the bathrooms after lunch at work. I thought he must have had some special reason, but I never asked because I figured it would be too much of a personal question when we weren’t that close.
To be fair, yall don’t have fluoride in the water so you need to brush more often. (This is aimed at the Americans commenting)
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?
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.
While it’s true that some people inherit the genes for harder enamel, which goes a long way toward determining how scrupulous a person has to be about their dental hygiene, it wasn’t until very recently that we had diets filled with refined sugar.
Hey, there’s no sugar in MY diet. Only high fructose corn syrup.
In everything.
This is why instead of brushing and flossing I just gnaw on roadkill.

I think every three weeks is reasonable.
I just found out my daughter’s best friend only brushes once a day at bedtime. They’re 11. I truly question some parents.
Coincidentally whenever they’re facetiming I always yell in the background if she brushed her teeth this morning.
I see you Cecily. Your parents may not but I do. Brush your damn teeth!
Once a day isn’t crazy if she doesn’t eat tons of sugar.
I’m a school bus driver and one of the girls on my bus this morning was complaining about her teeth being yellow. I asked her if she brushes them and she said “no” like I had asked her if she could fly. TBF we think her mom steals her medication so her lack of basic life skills is understandable.
I just don’t stop brushing. Every second you’re not brushing, you’re letting bacteria fester in your mouth.
Some people have toothpics in their mouth, I have a whole toothbrush.
