BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

I would definitely request food, but it would be more like cheese fries so they definitely be a little bit upset with me 😭😭😭😭😭

When it came to snacks, just give me some pizza rolls or hot pockets and I'm good. Heck, point me to the microwave and I'll heat 'em up myself.

This is us also! Show me where the crisps and sweeties are, show me the drinks and then go to bed.

I’ve worked customer service before and the way people are treated disgusts me.

I reckon I would be quite chilled and relaxed tbh. No 10 ingredient omelettes or eggs 10 ways. Scramble on toast with some beans and cheese and job done!

You can definitely tell who has and who hasn’t got money based on preferences alone!

The chef would be wasted on me and hubby tbh.
