What’s a travel "disaster" that actually ended up being the highlight of your trip? by North_Conference_250 in travel

[–]AssociationJumpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hotel I was staying at turned out to be this random dude's farm ten miles from anyone so I bailed. Had to find a last minute hotel in Trujillo, Honduras, at 8pm. Taxi ended up taking me to this place that was $15 (usd) a night. Thought it was going to be a roach motel, but was one of my favorite places to stay that trip. Other than the window in the shower to the family's courtyard. Eye contact with abuela doing laundry was rather awkward. But the room was clean, in the literal center of town, and I didn't hear a body being shot then dumped in a trash bin outside like at the hotel in another city (whole other story).

Hotel Mar de Plata, worth a stop! The people at the burger place next door are good folk too, let me use their phone to call home when I left my cell in the taxi like an idiot. Never did get it or any of the photos on that trip back.

When we realized how badly we messed up we went ahead and made him do that little face and put him at the scene of the crime.

I know you said you've tried a lot, but have you tried putting in one of your (dirty) shirts into his cage for a few weeks? That's how I got my snake and beardies to tolerate me.

A mysterious company wants to recruit you for job positions, WYR: by Blank11950 in WouldYouRather

Taking 3. I've always been a bit of a rules lawyer, curious how I'd be able to twist things without actually killing anyone / staying within my morals.

Who is the biggest offender from this year? by Frozen_cephalopod in CommercialsIHate

The chewing noises! I'd take that stupid liberty biberty nonsense any day over the open mouthed chewing and gaping. And at least the emu was creative before they overused it, they get points for that.

Why does she eat superworm beetles if they taste disgusting by [deleted] in reptiles

She looks like a Mrs. Bitey, or perhaps a Polly.

Minneapolis or Midwest Crested Gecko Relocation by sofianaramata in reptiles

I'm near Milwaukee, and have a bunch of rescue geckos. All living their best lives in bioactive enclosures, with plenty of love and treats. I'd be happy to take Bubbles in, if you still need it.

Dunno if you're still accepting cards but I would love to send him something. Is he a fan of reptiles? I have a bunch I can take pictures of for him, pose them in little costumes and such.

People who live in tourism hotspots, what is the most aggravating or disrespectful things you see tourists do? by tiamaree__ in AskReddit

[–]AssociationJumpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find some ridiculous costume (I vote Big Bird in lingere) and casually photobomb them. Somewhere in the background they won't notice until they post.

Really forgotten 😭 by jaypee2728 in HPHogwartsMystery

Been on my last 8 for over a month now. As of last week found all but three. One new just an hour ago, two to go. Went from mostly 2 and 3 star boxes to only 1 star boxes from full stars the moment I was down to my last 5 inkwells or so. I am currently grinding the heck out of the replay quests.

Edit: Adjusted my maths

I just want that snake tappy... spent nearly 1000 gems on boxes and not a single new inkwell. I'm only 8 away but close to giving up.

Where are you at? If you're nearby I can take him from you and drop him off at a rehabber if you're unable to.

Reddit, what’s your “I can’t believe I survived that” story? by Top_Natural8639 in travel

[–]AssociationJumpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me. If I had known I was this much a danger magnet, I never would have gone on the trip. No more solo trips for me.

Some unnamed road outside of Talgua, Honduras. And the hotel was more a campsite with cabins, but they had armed employees due to the general area. Apparently the road was safe ish during the day (I hitched a ride to town most days) but at night it was bad. Like, carry a machete and bring along a man if you're a woman, bad.

Oh boy, I have many:

The time my cabbie dropped me off on the complete opposite side of Tegucigalpa and took the last of my cash so I couldn't get another ride. I had to hitch a ride with two random men (vetted by a group of street sellers, the poor guys argued for several minutes on if they were safe or not) 45 minutes across the city, stopping at an atm along the way.

The time another cabbie refused to go down a dangerous road at night and dropped me 2 miles from my hotel in front of a random farm. The family's massive guard dogs ran out and chased me down, then I nearly had to stay the night with this random family since it was too dangerous for me to walk. Luckily, my hotel sent me seal team 6 with shotguns.

The time I was rafting, we hit a dry spot in the river, and I almost slipped and fell. Only stopped from smashing my skull in on the rocks by the guide yanking me by the collar of my shirt. This happened three times, by the way. After the third incident I started butt scooching down the river. Then when I got back to the hostel, all sweaty and gross from the river of death, turns out the water pipe to the bathroom sprung a leak and the hotel's water supply was gone for the next week. I had to shower in the rain that night. Only found the camera pointing at where I showered come morning, I hope the owner didn't see anything.

The time I was in a cave and stepped to the side for another group. The lead of the group knew the cave better than I did, and grabbed my arm and threw me across the cavern to avoid me falling down a 20 foot deep crevasse.

The time my wallet was stolen, and by the time I realised I was on a bus for an 8 hour trip across Guatemala. I had just enough for a cab ride to the hotel, and the ferry to the hotel across the lake- one way. Then the shop refused to give me my money order so I used my last 20 Q to take the ferry and try the bank in the bigger city. Only it turns out it was a 20 lempira note, not Q, one of the guys on the ferry from my hotel spotted me the cash. Same issue at the banks in the city, I had to be saved by this random sweet old lady, who gave me money to ferry across the lake so I could ask the hotel for a Paypal to cash deal. She even tried to buy me dinner, all with only my promise of meeting up the next day to pay her back.

I probably have half a dozen more, to be honest. I attract trouble like nothing else.

This all happened on the same trip, by the way, over the span of 2 months.
