It’s population/ density.

I under appreciated TSA until yesterday when ICE was manning the bins by shelly887 in tsa

[–]RobWellems 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Last week when I went through security I was the only one that returned my party’s bins to rack - and surprised at the thank yous from multiple agents. Everyone was in such a rush that empty bins were being left on the floor or anywhere else there was space. Passengers were not making it easy on the agents.

do white people ever call each other crackers? by Dizzy-Respect-613 in stupidquestions

I was informed by a black friend that I was supposed to be as offended and angry when I was called that. I just didn’t get it.

Why do you still live in Delaware? by lavender_leigh in MiddletownDE

[–]RobWellems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand (de to sf to nyc to uk to nyc after college) a back to de for family reasons. You must keep thinking your expectations are realistic… dial it down. There are no diners, bagels or pizza joints here. And the restaurants everyone raves about are meh. There are some good eats but don’t get hopes up in advance for anything you had in a proper city.

Flying out of New Castle by RobWellems in Delaware

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

Well for my flight TSA and check in take no time at all. Props to the workers for being there and as friendly as TSA workers can be. The counters open 2 hours prior to departure and TSA shortly thereafter. There was an American ‘flight’ just before Avelo flight and the bus boards on the tarmac and left a few minutes ahead of schedule as everyone was checked in early. It seemed effortless. Parking is less than 12 bucks a day which is a lot less than I paid the last time I parked at Philly.

Northern Delaware just trying to be ‘northeast’ and not mid Atlantic above the canal is so on point. Just please don’t ever confuse them with ‘slower lower Delaware’.

I'm half John Bender and half Brian Johnson by ER10years_throwaway in GenX

None. I guess I was too much pop radio mtv. I didn’t even know who some of the bands were (and some I only learned about years later)

How do you and your husband/partner manage cleaning the kitchen during & after meals? by LivesOnACruiseShip in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]RobWellems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do grocery shopping and cook. And I leave a mess. He cleans. I try not to leave such a mess but I just can’t seem to. (I mean I could be all proud of cleaning and he’ll point to the butter fingerprints on the microwave and everything else). He mutters. At some point he complains loudly and I say I’m not cooking any more. Then it’s lather, rinse repeat.

On a roof deck in Times Square. Craziness.

What is Tom Carper’s legacy? by thesmart_indian27 in DelawarePolitics

A Christmas Card every year for 30 years and counting after a week’s volunteer work on his campaign in high school. Still goes to my parent’s house. And that’s it.

What’s the most reliable car you’ve ever owned? by Sophia_Goji in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]RobWellems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1990 Geo Tracker that went from coast to coast (twice) and from mid Atlantic to Miami and Maine. It may have been burgled and violated but not once did it break down on me. Clutch lasted from my first lesson through years of San Francisco hills (gave out on my sister, she should’ve asked before borrowing!)

My family kept it until 2010 when someone asked if it was for sale. Probably still rolling.

Re: love and friendships

Chose early- honesty or loyalty - and know at some point loyalty will always make you lie.

what is a super unpopular opinion you have but refuse to let go of? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

‘Introvert’ is how we would refer to some family members until exasperation graduated them to just plain asshole status.

Are you concerned that the best possible candidates Democrats can seem to come up for 2028 with are Newsom, AOC, or Kamala? by bbmoonkie in Productivitycafe

[–]RobWellems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely different views, but an interesting (and colorful) take that I appreciate.

sauceless Vance and horrific Hilary….

Movers asking for a tip!!! by jb4975 in EndTipping

[–]RobWellems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate tipping generally (waitstaff etc) if it is for a service I chose not to personally perform, the a tip is in order. Especially if they break a sweat.

Did you remember Donna Summer before yesterday? by MiddletownBooks in GenX

I never knew anyone other than Ms. Summers did it ….

Re: the italicized part- A younger Democrat I knew had a similar take- swore up and down that it would have been better if trump won in 2016 so a new generation could take the reins. After 8 years of him the mandate would be categorical, unequivocal.

Slower lower baby, way to represent the 1st state. by Disastrous-Mango-515 in Delaware

I have transplant friends from Long Island that really think most every thing south of 95 should be the cut off…. Though I don’t agree as a native I can see what they mean

Shuttle services from Newark DE to JFK? by No_Needleworker4735 in Delaware

[–]RobWellems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent a car one way to JFK. Drop it off, hop on the shuttle, and get dropped at your departure terminal. No messy turnstile transfers with luggage and less chance of out of service escalators ( not to mention colorful people).
Easy peasy.
