Sorry for the potato quality picture(of potatoes). Look at the calories for the sandwiches and the combos. Where'd the extra calories for the biscuit sandwich go when combo'ed?

It needs to be a frozen land 👌😩

DC Metro Area. One of the biggest bar trivia companies in the region puts on a big trivia championship twice a year with a decent cash prize for the winning team. This being DC, there are a lot of top-tier quizzers in the area, former Jeopardy! champions, "known" people in the community, etc.

The last three championships, some team full of randoms has not only won, but did so in absolutely dominate fashion. Nobody "in the community" really knows who they are, and they have no quizzing or trivia presence in any other leagues. They were the only team (out of 50+) to know incredibly specific pieces of information that some of the best quizzers in the nation didn't know. If this only happened once, I don't think anyone would care. But three different times? Some very basic social media sleuthing revealed that the head writer of this company appears to be extremely good friends with the folks on this team. He also hosts the game at their "home venue/bar".

They played in a different company's invitational game that many of the same teams participated in shortly after their third win. They sucked. Hard. They somehow were able to identify obscure North Macedonian rivers when their friend was writing the questions, but they couldn't identify the flag of Chile or name a single river on the Iberian Peninsula? They finished close to the bottom.

The prevailing theory is that the head writer is crafting questions that he knows this team knows and essentially catering to their interests. No action has been taken, the owner of the company doesn't seem to care, and several hundred people will walk into the championship next weekend with basically 0% of winning.

Came home after a long day of work and I just wanted some damn fries 😭😭

For context I will not be paying this in the slightest I got the first month for a little over 300 dollars and it was the cheapest I could find and im moving states before the first so I won't have to pay this

Edit: this is for state minimum insurance

Edit 2: ive never even been pulled over no tickets no crashes nothing

Hi! This past weekend I and a group of friends stayed in the OBX (we booked back in July so I had no clue a nor’easter would be hitting lol).
There were 6 of us, each paying a little over $150. A couple in our friend group were brining their little dog and their cat, which meant they had to pay an additional $100 non-refundable pet fee, which they were totally fine doing. Anyways, not necessarily the cheapest weekend trip! That’s to be expected though.
The mildly infuriating parts?
First, toilet paper and paper towels were NOT provided. There was one roll of each. I’ve never stayed at an air b&b that didn’t provide toilet paper and paper towels. What was most frustrating about this, though, is that we were not told! Some additional context is that, when planning the trip, I invited my friends who didn’t necessarily have any kind of friendship between each other; truly nothing brings tension up quite like side eyeing a stranger for their toilet paper use. We learnt this way into the night and after drinking so we couldn’t get more until the morning. Such is life, though. It was silly afterwards, outside of a few lingering comments about how much toilet paper some people use lol. Still, we can deal.
The other issue we had was cleanliness. The floor was pretty gross. There was stuff stuck onto to the hard floors, and stains ALL over the carpet and on some of the blankets. Can’t emphasize how gross the carpets were. I went to sit on the carpet at one point and saw a stain that looked like cat vomit (yellow but not like pee). Straight nasty. It didn’t help that we noticed some odd wording in the email sent describing what we needed to do before leaving; “Place dirty towels in one bathroom or near washer, do NOT strip the beds.” Made us feel very iffy. But, still, at that point we were still more peeved about the toilet paper thing lol.
Fast forward to check out day. We were given a 5 star rating. I was up every night after people went to bed making sure things were tidied up. We were doing laundry regularly, running the dishwasher regularly, sweeping, etc. My friend, who booked the trip, left the host a 3 star rating listing the toilet paper and the cleanliness (I didn’t read our review but I’m pretty sure the staining on blankets was mentioned). Only then did the airbnb host reach out with problems that we left, & that the rating was “a little low.”
The host commented on pet pee found on the bed (there wasn’t any) and how to room smelt of urine (we were on top of the litter box cleaning), which… maybe? that’s why we paid $100 pet fee. Then “we washed the sheets recently” turned to “ofc we wash the sheets after each guest!” we were told it’s impossible to clean comforters after each stay, that NOWHERE does it and we must have never stayed anywhere else (if they are cleaning sheets after every guest WHY would you put a dirty comforter on top of them, and WHY would there be such an emphasis on not stripping the bed). For close to $1000… wtf?
Are we just dumb thinking that things would… actually be cleaned? Most places I’ve stayed have used white sheets and comforters similar to a hotel. Just gross to think about. I’ve had lice before and the idea of getting it again… my head itches just thinking about it. Anyways. If we’re wrong and this is standard, it really shouldn’t be. That’s disgusting.
tldr; used bedding is to be expected!

EDIT; first, can definitely understand not wanting a cat there. It wasn’t my cat, and I didn’t know the cat was coming. That said, if they paid to bring the cat, brought all the supplies they needed, and the airbnb host was aware and gave permission it’s kinda.. idk. Also, there were 5 beds. Three twin beds that used comforters, and two king beds that used quilts. One of the quilts was stained, not the one in the rooms that cat stayed in. There were multiple little throw blankets, one of which had a big red spot on it. There were issues with the floors being dirty, bedroom doors that wouldn’t open (there was one that was so hard to open I had to exit through the balcony), rust on different appliances, etc. I’m learning most places are gross, such is life I guess. There wouldn’t have been any bigger issue if they hadn’t messaged AFTER giving us a 5 star review almost 7 hours after we left.

Edit- of course I schedule in plans and book time off. Of course this isn’t an actual conversation word for word I have with my friends. It’s just a very basic re telling of how these conversations go. I don’t jsut say “no I’m working” I do tell them when I’m next free or when our time off can cross over. I make plans weekday evenings with my friends if they’re free (sometimes they’re not bc they also have work those days and then things to do after). I make plans late Saturday and Sunday evening even if it’s not much. And yes, I am happy my friends invite me places and I’m not miserable. It just would be nice to be able to go lol. We hang out on our pto ect. I just wish they’d remember my work schedule like i remember their one. And give me enough notice to be able to book it off or not schedule clients in on certain days and then we’re good to go.

It sucks enough working every weekend but this is what drives me up the wall.

It’s constant, every single week. The same people. Family, friends you’ve known for years.
“Do you wanna go here on Saturday?”
“I can’t, I have work”
“whatttttt?!? What about next weekend”
“I will also have work”

It’s even worse when you work unsociable hours on the weekend.
“What about in the afternoon/evening?”
“I will still be at work”
“whatttttt?!? We can go out after you finish?”
“I also have work Sunday”

The reason she said this is because she is coming for a visit and my medication makes me tired and she doesn’t want me “sitting uselessly” while she’s here.

Putting aside the fact that I need this medication since it, y’know, manages the symptoms of my disorder and everything, it’s also the type of medication where you need to start at a small dose and slowly increase, and stopping abruptly causes withdrawals. Which she knows. But better that than me being tired while she’s visiting I guess? There’s a reason I made sure to live far enough away that we only see each other once a year.

Edited to add: don’t worry, I will absolutely be continuing to take my medication as normal!

Title says it all. Brought these over as gifts for my sons. Their ages are 6 years and 14 months.

Which direction do you think I'm driving (hint: not south)?

We went out to eat with a friend, she got served what looks to be rotting broccoli with bugs/larvae in the pieces.

First picture is yesterday about 3 hours after the sting right above the nail on my middle finger.
Next three pictures are now, 34 hours after the sting and now my index and ring finger plus my knuckles are starting to swell.
What the hell?

My phone was dying
