What cheeses me off

[Flashback]

WCMO .. people coming down for breakfast at the hotel in pyjamas. Come on, have some self respect!

Never seen this. Could get interesting.

Noticed it a lot in India previously.

WCMO is that my Fitbit Charge 4 doesn't sync immediately when I change timezones.

I need to keep this in mind when I use my watch when travelling.

I have changed time zones three times in two days. The time (zone) on my Fitbit is still home and hasn't changed once. (Of course my phone has no issues automatically adjusting to the local time zone)

I basically have to switch automatic time zone on and off, syncing between each setting cycle, a few times before the Fitbit shows the new local timezone. Geez.........

I've compromised once and kept the top but put on some jeans or trousers (Swiss F PJ tops from some time ago look rather good from a distance - you wouldn't know). I also put on socks and shoes.

Let me guess... some of them arrive in the hotel robe and slippers?

Never seen this. Could get interesting.

Not uncommon in the US as well.

Tourists or local Indians, or both?

Mine hasn’t had any troubles except today when daylight saving started and it won’t let me change the active hours It’s defaulting to 12 to 21 hours

On a lake cruise in Switzerland and people think it’s acceptable to FaceTime on speaker. FFS enjoy the peace.

Some guy surreptitiously smoking downstairs although I suspect it’s verboten but no one says anything

Local or tourist?

Data isn't cheap in CH.... and any free wifi you must register with your personal information (at minimum a contact phone number).

But I agree... I mean, come on.........

Swiss are good at judging; surprisingly not all that into upping the apple cart sometimes, even if something wrong is happening.

Oddly enough, there is generally a social obligation (even law) that requires you to render aide ("Good Samaritan" - not the name of any law) if you can if you witness a crisis. It doesn't say anything specifically about stopping a crime or misdemeanour.

Of course, Swiss are happy to report you to the authorities if you choose to mow your lawn on a Sunday........

WCMO is people making fake Facebook check-in points.

Case in point: looked up the Petronas Towers in KL (Malaysia) for a post. Of course got multiple locations, but some totally bogus - one claims that the KLCC/Petronas Towers are in Spain! Freaking idiots...

Even more cheesed off when the most used/checked into location is fake/incorrect. (Luckily not in this case...)

Not sure. They are speaking a mixture of German and English. She’s Asian origin. Oh and they are playing cards

And now some young girl is throwing up in the first class deck

May be an international student. There's a decent number of them from Asia all across the subcontinent. Last December, I ran into a fair number of Chinese exchange students who were studying in Paris (they were slowly getting there with their French).

Actually, seeing Swiss (or German, for that matter) teenagers throw up in public isn't all that uncommon. Doesn't make it any more pleasant!

Yeah, yeah, but it's still annoying for those of us who actually want to use the system appropriately.

Haven't seen any robe and slipper guests.

I guess you'd say tourist, as a local generally wouldn't stay at the hotel but a local (national) tourist, yes.

Young girl was seasick I think

Just breakfast in a hotel? Try shopping in shopping centres before closing.

Also what is the stupidity going out shopping barefoot?

There has to minimum dress standard to be able to interact with society. You can't just do what you feel like.

I won't mow lawns on Sunday or public holiday or after 6pm in deference to neighbours. It used to be part of our culture and disappearing with younger generations who DGAF about anyone.

WCMO because touring in Mexico+Cuba soon cannot get an Esta because of embargo reintroduced by Mr Maga.

…. all good avoid US and we’ll go via via Canada especially get to YVR and back on points and got a bargain deal on J for all Nth Am flights on AM …..

Have seen this on a few occasions, then ask for a tray and take back to room.
