Not a single dude in my department knew you could scramble eggs in the microwave. Talking 30s+ year old married men. Smh. But now they do and make breakfast sammiches/burritos/etc. Cheaper and healthier than fast food breakfast. Makes me smile.

You sure about that? Stars are for quality


Yes, quality, but not cleanliness. We were looking for a clean, decent place to travel with young kids, and were mainly concerned that there not be nasty surfaces, gross sheets, etc. Amenities & quality weren't as big a deal to me because I had no intention of using the spa or even reading the paper with a 1 y/o and 3 y/o in tow.

Had to explain that a 2.5 star with great reviews was probably a better bet than the 3.5 star for 50% more with so-so reviews. She was insistent that the 3.5 star would be better. News flash: it was shitty.

I mentioned this a year or two ago here. But I thought AYCE was a brand of Catfish until I saw an AYCE crawfish sign.

If you have a DVR, you can press the pause button while watching tv live. Blew my pop's mind when I showed him that.

A lot of people don't know this as well as other "rules of the road" so to speak.

Even number highways/interstates run west to east or vice versa

and

Odd number highways/interstates run north to south or vice versa

mind was blown!!!


ETA

The side that the exit sign is on prior to your exit is coincides with the side of the road that the exit is located.

mind was equally blown!!!

My parents had no clue. My SO still doesn't understand the concept after 5 years.
