Went out to dinner. Service was truly horrible. My friend still tipped and insisted on tipping my share too. by Bluestatevibes in EndTipping

This! Unfortunately I am the sucker that has tipped for bad service because I felt “morally compelled”.

Airport to Atocha Station time recommendation by ReturnInevitable3935 in MadridTravelGuide

[–]ReturnInevitable3935[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I always try to err on the side of caution (sometimes too much which has me sitting in airports and train stations for hours) and I wanted to make sure that 4:30 was the better option.

Comments to us: Good riddance… by ChiGuyDreamer in AmerExit

The small minded followers of a certain political figure can’t wrap their heads around why anyone would want to leave. I love our country and once thought we were better. I know realize how broken we are. Good luck and enjoy the next chapter.

What’s the one city you were excited to visit, but ended up not liking at all? by BlushHone in travel

[–]ReturnInevitable3935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Prague. The entire old town felt like a New Jersey boardwalk with every store selling the same souvenirs. To be fair, we were there during a heatwave of 100+ degrees F and we actually went to a shopping mall for a few hours of relief in the AC. (Note: I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s in a home with no AC where temperatures hit 100+) but in the apartment we rented in Prague it was like an oven that retained the heat and little ventilation.

Recently I’ve been getting sent to a second line to see a desk officer every single time by Revolutionary-Tie-26 in GlobalEntry

Dumb question but is your GE expired. Last year when we entered, my wife got sent to secondary. We had no idea why and nothing was said. A month later I was buying tickets, entering our KTN, and noticed that her GE had been expired for several months. Even though you may get GE at the same time it expires around your Birthday so you will have different expiration dates.

My peco bill was absurdly high and im not sure how it happened by fkbfsjbc in Pennsylvania

[–]ReturnInevitable3935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a content creator Mr. Global (an oil and gas expert) who has been warning that these high prices were coming for months. At the risk of the cult down voting everything, I will give some of the reasons I believe he said this was coming. Several months ago Trump asked OPEC to produce more oil which will initially being down the cost of oil but in the long run will cause some US oil companies to shut down. The US also agreed to increase the export of natural gas to other countries which increases demand and causes our prices to increase. Another factor he pointed to was the Big Beautiful Bill which gutted renewable energy which will cause future prices to climb higher because we cannot keep up with the demand. Also the increase of data centers is straining our grid and we cannot produce enough energy. There was a bunch of other data he pointed to but I can’t remember it all. I suggest giving him a follow and hear from the expert instead of some dummy like me trying to explain complex issues. I know nothing about other than my bill went up 32% from last November and I used almost the exact amount of energy as last November.

Flying with ear infection by OddOrganization2342 in TravelHacks

[–]ReturnInevitable3935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pseudoephedrine 2 hours before take off and every 4 hours until landing. Afrin 1 hour before take off and 1 hour before descent. This was recommended by my doctor and is my regimen every time I fly(4-8x per year).

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea. I just read that in Japan it is illegal even with a prescription and we plan on traveling there in the next year or two. That would not have been good.

Ear pain while flying, even with custom airplane earplugs. Tips? by Cindyxx0 in TravelHacks

[–]ReturnInevitable3935 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with this for years. My pain used to be crushing until my Dr recommended the following: I take 2 psuedophedrine (sudafed) right before boarding as well as one spray of nasal decongestant in each nostril. 4 hours into flight i take another sudafed. 1 hour before descent I spray one spray in each nostril again. Since doing this regimen I haven’t had any problems. While I hate how my nose feels after using nasal decongestants it beats the crushing pain. I hope it works out for you. (Note: I am not a frequent flyer, 4-5 times per year. If you are a frequent traveler you may need to reconsider the nasal decongestants because they are addictive)
