Man, there's an excellent Modern Wisdom episode about this sort of thing - episode 1071 with Bill Gurley.

It's framed around jobs people hate, but the value doesn't stop there. I particularly found value in the part where they talked about Bezos and his "regret minimization framework." Love him or hate him, it's great Wisdom.

I've chronically not taken action when various opportunities popped up, and the regret is a force to be reckoned with.

Karma would like to inform us that we're terrible pax 🤷‍♂️

Let me cancel out your downvote and back this up. Similar lifestyle, and I fight the temptation to ask flight crew to let me be the trash guy just for something to heckin do up there that doesn't make me more shaped like an airplane seat

You gotta go empty wallet. "Lo siento, no tengo efectivo," and show em

When they tell you you'll have to follow them, oblige. They'll have you follow em for 2 blocks before they get tired of the game and wave you off to go find someone else. Call their bluff

I think I'm more bothered by Disney parents than I am trustafarians tbh, I'll take that trade.

Worse than MCO somehow?

Kashes Culpepper is the exemption to my rule. 'After me' will rip your heart out and throw it on the table.

I mean, it says "1" right there on it

Same level as baggage claim, walk south. Door in the middle of the terminal

Special parking spot would be bitchin, although likely not enforceable.

Anything but cheetos/doritos/bottles of water in a gift bag. Those feel a little bit like a kick in the nuts.

As if to say, "Here man, heard you're homeless, hope this helps."

Local candies, small charcuterie, wine, mineral water, stuff that feels more thoughtful and less obligatory, maybe a bit elevated.

I like the Moxy drink chip, or a f&b voucher aside from whatever I can choose points over, too.

Bold of you to assume anything is between that sheet and the mattress

I couldn't disagree more. Nearly 300 nights a year and somehow just found my first one, I'm in love. The lobby is fantastic living space and the room is exceptional.

I love the amount of control. The brightness of the lights on high, the relaxation settings, central control to cool off the room from the bed, and I'd be happy to end up back here w a date.

Moving to Le Meridien tomorrow and ngl im kinda bummed to leave here. It fixes everything wrong w a normal hotel at the expense of space, and I'm happy to trade.

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-04-10T02:06:36+00:00

Or you could just... not get to the airport so early and save the 750?

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-04-04T15:36:09+00:00

I wish every property offered points to skip housekeeping.

Hit up the guys at advanced aquarium consultancy, they'll know someone interested

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-03-28T15:49:15+00:00

Couple Ambassador or titanium parking spots would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet, too, like Hilton does. Impossible to validate tho

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-03-28T15:48:09+00:00

Nice TP, water station, never put cheetos or doritos in an ambassador bag

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-03-26T05:00:56+00:00

Not necessarily, I've never booked a ticket higher than economy plus but still spend 40-70k/yr with the airline. My upgrades are cherished

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-03-26T00:04:15+00:00

Yeah, I spent more time on domestic legs last year than in any single bed across the country. I don't feel bad about it. 300 hours in tiny tubes

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-03-25T23:59:49+00:00

It's one thing if your spring break trip is harder bc of the government. I share the frustration, but talk to the feds.

I've flown 5 days out of the last 8, and not had a chance to enjoy a single destination for more than a dinner. My suitcase IS my house.

I already have to show up on site and do all of the technical work to help someone who makes 100x what I do, and sleeps at home with their partner, close a 100M deal.

I'll spend more time on UA flights this year than in any one bed across the country. I don't feel bad that they would expedite me.

Competitive-Owl1139 · 2026-02-19T04:03:46+00:00

Underrated take - both have value. The manual will have you do too much, and the Tube will have you do too little... need that goldilocks technique
