    In my experience over the last two years hotels are either same price OR less expensive due to AirBnBs bait and switch pricing. The taxes, cleaning fees, and random add ons are absurd.

    In a recent example, staying at some Yurt for three days was $248. After taxes and fees it was around $515. Like wtf?!

    I’m at the point where even if the pricing was flat, a hotel is 10X less hassle to deal with than AirBnB.





  • Okay. 100% satire. That said it drives me absolutely bonkers when coworkers are walking around common areas with their AirPods (I’m in an office). We had someone at my job bitching that people treat him differently or don’t talk to him. Like dude… if you maybe took out your AirPods people might be more inclined to say hi.

    Slight pet peeve, I also totally get doing it every so often, but wearing it 100% of the time it feels stand off-ish. Same thing with never turning on cameras for video calls. Totally get not having it on 100% of meetings. But there are a few people on my team or that I work with who NEVER have it on.

    Also. We hired someone virtually the other day. They came into the office. Ends up they are taller than me so I had to let him go on the spot. What’s with all these people not respecting their elders? It’s called seniority for a reason. Entitled kids trying to make us look bad…. /s
