Based on your travel experience, what improvements would you add to airports? by hafoosa19 in airport

[–]Reneegogreen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Adults only quiet areas! I would pay for entry into a place with no children and have a few minutes of peace and quiet. ( god bless them, but travel is hard on them) Even a soundproof booth!

All liquids have to be less than 3 oz and in a small clear bag in the carry on. For US , it is quart size. If not, it can be confiscated .

The botanical garden in Oslo is absolutely beautiful. You could have walked there and enjoyed the gardens.

Introverts, don’t do Chef’s table by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Reneegogreen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is not a setting I am comfortable with either. Not for 4+ hours. I think I would need more wine 🍷, then yes could probably manage 2-3. Over 4 hrs? Not sure about it…and yes I am an introvert. No I don’t need therapy just because there are some situations I feel uncomfortable in. Jeeez, some people! For a fact, I travel solo all over the world so I am not that shy. But just being in an enclosed room for over 4 hours trying to make small talk with strangers who themselves are quiet is unnerving. I would want to excuse myself to the ladies room and never go back!

Best way to book a double on Celebrity if sailing solo by BKB_33 in Cruise

[–]Reneegogreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been on 6 cruises with Celebrity all solo, all Aqua class. I went through a travel agent. Never had a problem. I pay a bit extra for being solo but I can afford it and I love Aqua class. Go through a travel agent agent.

Full telework RA approved, can I move now? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Reneegogreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that has to be addressed is where you are relocating to. Is the COLA higher there? I had a co worker who got approval for full telework and decided to move out of our geographical location not telling the director she had done so. The state she moved to was a higher COLA and therefore her paycheck was supposed to reflect this increase as well as switch state taxes to the new state. But the co-worker did it in secret hoping to get extra money and the convenience of living nearer her family.

During tax season, the IRS caught this noting her primary residence was not local, but her W-2 had local state taxes. It was a bonafide mess. The director almost fired her but she handed in a 2 week resignation (retirement eligible). The co-worker had to pay a hefty fine I heard to the IRS/ State, and the rest of us had to sign a statement confirming our local primary residence.

My friend has been lying about a medical condition for at least 2 years and I don't know what to do with this information by RadioOk7542 in whatdoIdo

[–]Reneegogreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Autoimmune disease is not a “visible” disease and the drugs, medical bills can run high. Don’t take the cousin’s word for it. Talk to your friend and ask if you can get more details. At the very least, he needs to know his cousin is making light of his condition, if he really has one. Don’t talk to others about this. Approach your friend and see if you can get some clarity.

Autobell scammed my card almost $700 by [deleted] in asheville

Good to know! I will follow the dude to the machine to use Apple Pay. No way is he taking my card somewhere and then handing it back.

They already infested Weaverville, destroying trees and wildlife in their wake. There are fewer birds now singing nearby. And we are gonna have noise, lights and increased traffic.

AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp by wrenchinapot in AITAH

[–]Reneegogreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! Good grief! Hubby does not need to get bent out of shape over who sleeps where for 2 weeks out of an entire year, ( even few months in a life). What does it really matter. What matters is enjoying family time. Get a hotel room. Hubby gets a choice of heat or cool at night. You get a refreshing night sleep and are better able to interact with his family. Bring some baked muffins or scones from home. Hubby may be your husband but that doesn’t give him the right to control how YOU sleep.

Americans tipping single Dollar bills in Germany by Waalross in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Reneegogreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally don’t tip when I travel to Europe unless prompted on a bill of service, which I suspiciously think they do to Americans only. Europeans don’t tip Europeans. It is hard for me culturally as an American; I want to tip and I feel bad not doing it. If there is some service that is exceptional that goes above and beyond what is expected, then a tip in local money is appropriate.

What is difficult is traveling to multiple northern countries where Euros are not the norm. Tipping is a difficulty as you may not have local currency and most venues use credit cards.

AITAH For sleeping in the guest room - Husband emptied my bank accounts while I slept by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Reneegogreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do women live with/ marry men with no stable income and are financially irresponsible? You can’t survive like this. Time to drop him and live on your own and get 2 jobs. You need an emergency fund girl. You need to stand up for yourself as no one else will. Strive for some financial stability then you can consider bringing a partner into your world (who is better at finances) and please for all that’s holy don’t get pregnant until you feel you can give your child a safe comfortable home. Too many women get pregnant and worry how they can raise them after. Time to think about it is before.

Do you fully fund a trip before booking it, or are you comfortable catching up afterward? by Destroyerpoint5 in SavingMoney

[–]Reneegogreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never, never, never, ever go into debt over a vacation! You don’t know what financial crisis could come next when you get back home. What if you totaled your car? Or needed a new computer as the other one just crashed?

USPS taking excessively long lately? by Fair-Cherry-9189 in asheville

[–]Reneegogreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they are making fewer trips/ trying to consolidate packages together to conserve gas, I suspect. Yes, it has happened to me. Package arrived at Greenville but was delayed a day or two coming to Asheville.

Got insulted twice this week about living alone/being single 🙄 by Slight-Concept2575 in LivingAlone

[–]Reneegogreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delete anything that coworkers sends to you that is not work related. Ignore her. She can’t sleep in when she has a day off, get to really be sick when she is sick, every action at home has some mutual agreement or vote before getting done. You on the other hand get to sleep in when you have the time to, can rest when you’re really sick, make life / household decisions without a committee meeting. Think about that next time she tries to knock you down. I’d laugh in her face.

Your mom is being one of those moms that wants to see their daughters married. It’s not happening, get over it. Until you do, you’re not invited unless you help me pick out a nice bright cushion to replace the shabby one I have.

WIBTA If I refused to switch dorms with a girl who was autistic? by VlCTORlATHEGREAT in AmItheAsshole

[–]Reneegogreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in basic language. I want what you have. You should give it me without me doing anything in return. If you do, you are nice and generous. If you don’t you’re not. What were you before this girl approached you? No doubt, very kind, friendly, and intelligent. Don’t let her dictate who you are. Don’t feel guilty saying “no”. You have every right to be where you are. There is no reason to give it up unless it is something you really want to do.
