what are the benefits of platinum membership exactly?"You don't even have ONE room set aside for emergencies?" Nope. And if I did, you aren't an emergency. Also "I'm a Platinum member, you have to have a room for me!" Nope. I don't. F~&& off.
And I think the reason they don't really do the "No Vacancy" signs anymore is that they're worried the employees will turn it on even if there are rooms to sell. And to be fair, I would absolutely do that occasionally.
I suspect it's something along the lines of "You're a self-important d*****bag, you you are entitled to give us extra money in exchange for the benefit of feeling extra special".

Tell me about it. My immediate thought on getting assigned a junior high class last year was "I will be taller than someone!" I was, in fact, not. What do they feed these kids?

Remember when the first Pres. Bush had to prove he was actually the President to a skeptical Kindergartener by showing the child his Amex card, and the American Express company was mortified because he only had the standard green Amex and not a gold card, so they very publicly upgraded him?
I think that was the moment I stopped thinking of "gold" or "platinum" membership levels as status symbols.
Now, if there were a "gold-pressed latinum" membership level, that I would consider.

You would have loved Impus Major. Didn't top 5' or 100 lbs until he was a sophomore in high school. He's still only around 5'2" and 115 lbs.
And he sings a very deep bass, giving the choir two basses who combined wouldn't top 250 lbs wet.

There are lots of them. They are often wrong, especially if they tell you they're the only ones doing it right.*shrug* I'm just venting. We've been battling all week. Parenting is hard. Growing up is hard. There needs to be a flipping manual for this crap....that must be humbling...I've been micromanaging the kidlet's homework this week to try and get all the make up work from last week done and turned in. Had to sit him down yesterday and tell him that the reason he has no time in his life for anything but homework is all him. Poor organization, not taking advantage of accommodations he's allowed, and not paying attention to what he's doing. Wasn't exactly a popular message. Sigh. Well, at least tonight he got through enough of the work to go to jujitsu. It's his first class in the adult class. He got promoted from the youth class right before he got sick. So hopefully getting out and doing not homework for a couple hours will help.
Of course all of this is made worse because I got away with all that crap when I was his age. Lack of parental supervision meant that I nearly failed a few classes from it. The difference is that unlike the kidlet I could do homework quickly when I bothered to do it at all. He's got all the attitude without the abilities to back it up. Sometimes he's frustrating because he's too much like me and sometimes because he's not. :P
True dat.
And of course that was what happened right before everything went kerbluuuuie... any manuals that claim to address current situation are extremely suspect....>.>

Universal Studios Hollywood takes this to the ultimate level: $109 buys you a "regular" ticket, where you stand in line with the rest of the hoi polloi. $349 gets you the "VIP Experience", where you simply get to ignore the hoi polloi and go to the front of the line. I have never seen such a blatant, "We cater to the rich, so %&$& off" attitude in my life.
So in spite of the fact that yes, I could afford the VIP tickets, I instead choose to not go to the park at all.
Because that **** is just ****ed up.

i will give them a look out of fairness that we were talking about different things, but I am still quite skeptical.I've been staring at this one for 12 minutes trying to decide if it's surrealism, sarcasm, or sincere belief.I have yet to find a spell point system that was not broken badly in some way. It has always been an ugly point of contention in games I have been in. Vancian has its problems to be sure - really ugly ones.{knocks on door} Excuse me sir, do you have a couple minutes to talk about Our Lord and Savior, Psionic Power Points?I'm definitely a big fan of Dreamscarred's refined psionics for Pathfinder. I vastly prefer it over Vancian spellcasting, even with the hinted at improvements for PF2E.
I remember dark sun and the nonsense that occurred there. Love the setting, but no thanks to spell/psionic points.Comparing the ambitious but wonky rules for 2e psionics to Dreamscarred's Pathfinder psionics is just as wrong as your sad devotion to Michael Bay.
2e psionics were broken as hell. I mean, I loved them, but you had to have an all psionics party or the non psionics characters got hosed. Dreamscarred’s psionics are a thing of beauty and I am a huge fan. I have played with these rules extensively and they are very well balanced and lots of fun.

How is it the hotel's fault? When the third party (website, travel agent, etc) doesn't make the reservation we would have no way of knowing that you are coming. It's not like we saw the reservation and just said "Nah, f!&~ that guy." We never saw it. It's like if someone says "I'm mad at you because you didn't reply to my email" when they never sent you an email in the first place.speaking of F%^& off. Our new second shift front desk lady had her first real @#$%^&* guest tonight. Apparently they book with a 3rd party but the 3rd party didn't make a reservation with us so the lady decided to give our front desk girl hell over it. I told her she was way to nice frankly I would of kicked her out.as someone who has been in that situation before, it was probably both your faults. Not being that guy, just speaking from experience. Nothing quite like driving 15 hours to discover they havent heard of you. I have slept in hotel lobbies before as a result of that.
going over the most memorable excuses/reasons from memory...
- hotel was updating their website and never got the reservation despite me having an email from 3rd party as evidence that everything went through.
- third party made reservation at wrong hotel, despite the fact that the address and everything was the same as it stated on the hotel website. Apparently they had recently been acquired and were in the process of rebranding or something like that, and the correct hotel was in the next area over(near riot occurred over that as we were not the only people screwed over).
- reservation does not go through until midnight/noon/whatever time, no early check in as the hotel will literally never have heard of you until that time.
- hotel was having trouble with isp, never got reservation, and could not go online to check. Third party and hotel got into a huge fight over that one and had to fax over the information and evidence of transaction even as my boss had to fax over his credit card and ID attached to the transaction. At 3 am. From Brooklyn. I and my coworkers were in another state. This was a lot of fun.

A polite rebuttal: While every single item you list is indeed the hotel's fault, none of them are the person at the front desk's fault. Not only are they very likely just as powerless as you are to fix things, but they have to deal with such screw-ups, and the subsequent getting screamed at by angry, exhausted travelers on an almost-daily basis.
It's why I quit retail, and why I respect anyone who has to face the general public: If you're the face of the company, you get screamed at, threatened, or even physically assaulted for things over which you have no power at all.
So it takes a heck of a lot of willpower, but I always approach such situations with, "OK, I know this isn't your fault, and I know your company just screwed you over again, but as you can see, I'm in a bind here. You're a local. You know the area. What are my likely options at this point?"
You'd be amazed how much more effective that is.
And then, of course, once I have time I write a very angry physical letter to the hotel, and if they don't refund me and then some I boycott them and tell all my friends to do the same. But yelling at the front desk person? I've never seen it get anyone anywhere.
It's very much like food delivery: GrubHub, Diner Dash, and TryCaviar all screwed up with missing items, double charges, or whatnot, and their attitude was, "Your problem, not ours." So I boycott them. Amazon has screwed up multiple times, but their attitude is, "Sorry we screwed up! Dinner is on us, and here's a little extra something for your troubles."
Considering that between me and Shiro and all the games we cater the food delivery service is worth over $5,000 annually to the company that gets it right, this is a Big Deal.
But I never yell at the drivers; UNLESS I can see that the order is right on the receipt, and the driver screwed up. In that case, yeah, yelling at the driver is indeed in order.
EDIT: For the record, I don't know whether you named names, but Orbitz is 100% on my, "NEVER USE THIS SERVICE EVER AGAIN" list, as such happenings seem to be practically the norm for them.

Teensy Valeros is doing the standard thing of deciding that food is "horrible", "gross", and "disgusting" before he's tried it, bursting into tears, throwing a tantrum, and demanding dried cereal.
And when he didn't get his way, sat on the staircase outside the dining room playing his harmonica sadly until it got taken away.
And I thought Hermione was a drama queen.(Dinner, btw, was a crimini mushroom, red pepper and Italian sausage risotto with fresh basil, and roasted asparagus (or "despairagus" as Val calls it) on the side. Not in the least disgusting unless you don't particularly like risotto.).
I am doing my best not to let it hurt my feelings. Hermione went through this phase as well (albeit without the sad harmonica) and now eats everything I make.
Yeah it’s a super annoying phase. Sometimes it takes longer to grow out of than others....kidlet currently eats like five things and that’s it. I keep reminding myself that my sister wouldn’t eat vegetables until she was like 18 or so, so there’s still some hope...

My niece has apparently hit this phase at all of age 6.
The good news is many vegetables are on her list of "will eat without complaint" bizarrely.
The bad news is that most main courses - meats, breads (other than french fries), eggs, etc. - she either is really picky about or eats incredibly slowly and very little thereof. The two weeks they were out here almost every meal was filled with her parents having to basically push her to finish each meal.
And no, it's not a vegetarian/vegan thing.

i very rarely take my anger out on the desk staff- the acquisition, our internet is down, and "we have never heard of you" are noted exceptions. I am a seasoned traveller and can tell the difference between someone just doing an unpleasant part of their job and someone hoping I leave of my own free will so if I come back angry they can call the cops in accordance with local law(the latter was an example of that). I always ask to speak to a manager, and I always have physical evidence of any transactions so I can keep arguing to a minimum.

That said it really is just a phase, he'll be eating everything long before puberty hits. No need for hurt feeings as you are not trying to convince him your liver is actually good(liver is not for eating, mom).

We get spaghetti, chicken strips and fries, grilled cheese, quesadillas, and sometimes if the stars line up just right tamales or pizza. That’s it. When my sister was that age it was fried chicken, grilled cheese, omelettes, and plain noodles. She eats like a normal person now so I have some hope for the kidlet. .....some.

Correct. It's not, "Dozens of different ways."

It's all about word choice. If you say you killed a rabbit, people think you are a hunter. Say that you killed a bunny, however, and people will think you are a monster.If I tell someone I murdered a bunny, it's 100% guaranteed I just got a couple chocolate bunnies on sale for 50% off the Monday or Tuesday after Easter.
Edit: It belatedly occurs to me that this doesn't do anything to dispell the notion that people will think I'm a monster. If they've seen me eat a chocolate bunny before, they're probably correct.

I know a couple women who store stuff in their bras, but I don't understand that either. (Who wants to have sweaty stuff?)
Also, your risotto dish sounds delicious.
The bra thing is mostly desperation due to lack of pockets in women’s clothing. I’ve had to do it a couple of times myself. It really only works if you tuck a punch in there to protect your stuff from sweat. And it’s still uncomfortable.

You've shown plenty of smarts, gentleness and humour to convince me, that your "package-size", don't really matter that much.

So if a Frog riding a frog is a thing…
And a Fox riding a "fox" is a thing
How would you make the Human equivalent?
Would that be a Human riding a Centaur? Or maybe a Human riding a Pony-Girl/Boy!? ;P

I'm 1m75 CM which is about 5'7. And exactly average Dutch female hight.So you're telling me I should move to Holland and get a sex change operation and I'd manage to be slightly below average.
Woo hoo!
Feel free to do so. No one will blink twice here. Except at your hight.
We dont care abot your sexuality. But making fun of your hight... That is free game :P| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hey, hey! Watch your language!I recently wondered just how long a forum thread could get. If there way any limit. I guess I have at least a partial answer. I'll check back once in a while to see how this grows :)Hullo! This is the sixth version of this thread, and thus the sixth iteration of the experiment-cum-social-hangout of its kind.
We've (or rather, a bunch of other people who are not me) found the limit five times previously, and the website was retooled to make it even bigger each time! So it's an exciting process to be a part of! You should check in more often to talk about random stuff!
Well, the computer definitely didn't graduate summa cum laude.
EDIT: but automated censor programs have been making normal things dirty since before various historical figures being, "buttbuttinated."
(One of my absolute favorite auto-replacements of all times.)
Ha! XD
Well, that’s now my fav auto replacement as well! I hadn’t heard that one before!:D| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
5' 8", shoe size 8.
I also have tiny arms and a titchy torso; most of my height is in my legs. That may make me sound slightly more grotesque than I actually am, but only slightly.

You would have loved Impus Major. Didn't top 5' or 100 lbs until he was a sophomore in high school. He's still only around 5'2" and 115 lbs.
And he sings a very deep bass, giving the choir two basses who combined wouldn't top 250 lbs wet.
They're pretty hilarious together. "Where is that deep resonating sound coming from?"
The same could be said about frogs...
Wait...
Is Impus Major a grippli himself?
