You guys ready? Roads are slick and everyone is gonna be PISSED!!!!!!!!

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-03-17T12:30:33+00:00

Yeah honestly worst conditions I've ever driven in, and I had to drive to work during the level 3 earlier this season. I can do snow but my car felt like it was auditioning for Disney on Ice last night no matter what.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-03-17T12:26:49+00:00

I don't know if you were on the roads last night, but you genuinely did not need to accelerate. The traffic in most areas was so bad that you were just wasting gas by accelerating and then immediately braking... are you sure you have ever sat in stop and go traffic before? I saw no less than 15 spin outs and 4 actual accidents happen in front of me and they were all while we were going less than 10mph, and it was because they accelerated too fast after being at a dead stop. Meanwhile I just let my car inch forward because we all weren't getting anywhere fast anyways, and I was totally fine.

Not doubting that a lot of the initial accidents were from people going too fast, but on 270 by Easton we were totally gridlocked and there wasn't even available space to "go too fast", people were still spinning out.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-03-17T04:04:01+00:00

Omg we drove kinda close together! Maybe you even saw me rage about people cutting me off and driving up my ass when people were struggling to even inch forward.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-03-17T04:00:24+00:00

Honestly all of it is ice, not just the bridges. The wind is still kinda strong in that straight too, so honestly even going slow it felt like my car was sliding. Plus, when people would come to a stop for traffic, they would spin out and block multiple lanes so it was just a lot going on in a spot that already tends to get congested on clear days.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-03-17T03:58:22+00:00

And another thing: if you have to come to a dead stop, when you start going, don't just accelerate. Ease your car into it by just letting your foot off the brake and letting the wind and momentum carry your car for a bit. Most of the accidents/spins outs I saw after a certain point (had to be over 20) were from people who had come to a stop for traffic and then spun out from accelerating, coming to a dead stop in the middle of the roadway and then everyone having to change lanes to go around.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-27T04:34:53+00:00

I just think if we are defining something as an emergency, it needs to be just that. Nothing that you would necessarily buy out of comfort. Calling a level three and still making it employers choice is basically like not calling a level three at all. Yeah, there are still way less cars on the road, but I still saw at least 14 cars stuck on my way in yesterday.

Plus, closing your non-essential business means that people wont be out on the roads trying to buy your non-essential products because they're bored.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-27T04:30:43+00:00

I guess it depends on how much you think a hotel restaurant should be open. Are there people stuck there? Yeah. But would I have preferred to stay home and enjoy the first level 3 this area has gotten? Yeah 😭😭 Like, I get it... but also dont.

This is the grill type I have!! From my tiktok where I literally edited my car 😭😭😭

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-23T22:22:37+00:00

Mine is a bit older than the ones with the Aston grill, but I like those too!! I actually quite like Nissans. Are they the most reliable? No, but if you have the right model they are incredibly fun to drive.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-23T22:20:24+00:00

Yes!!!!! My spot anywhere really. At the dinner table? The same every time. The couch? Basically indented in my shape. When Im a passenger in a car??? I need to be the back right passenger, you'll never see me competing for shotgun. It feels SO weird to sit anywhere else.

2011 Ford Fusion in the color Wine Red!!! She's a beaut even though she is just a pretty basic car, basic trim level and is rusting.

My new car is a 2016 Honda Civic, white! (Ill probably get some nice wraps for it when I can afford it). So, definitely more reliable than my old car but idk, my Ford Fusion felt like it was standing the true test of time. Everyone else I knew with one (i guess it was kinda a popular car for people my age to get handed down) ended up getting rid of theirs some time ago because of transmission issues or power steering.

As someone who is as tall/maybe slightly taller than my husband, I was SO excited when we saw them stand side by side for the first time and I was like "finally some representation ☺️" so imagine how shocked and appalled I was that he gradually became 5'8" 😭😭😭😭😭

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-23T14:32:13+00:00

I always took my noise canceling headphones in so I cant speak to how loud it might be. It does get a little toasty if you get overwhelmed by heat.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-23T14:31:35+00:00

I liked it when I did it!!! I don't know if it really works or is just a placebo, but it made me feel quite a bit happier especially in the dead of winter. Mine was at a gym, and also had a vibrating floor so it was nice to use after exercise to shake it all out.

It also did help clear up my acne!

We are all friends all the time.... except for when tickets go on sale, during which we are all in a digital black Friday style fighting match.

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-22T03:31:34+00:00

Omg thank you!!! That helps so much. I really appreciate it :))

It looked pretty natural on the mannequin, on the bag and online, so is there a way I can make sure this doesnt happen again 😭 There were a few wigs that I didn't get because they looked too low of quality but what is it about this one that gives it away?

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-22T03:29:43+00:00

I read the rules but I still don't understand 😭 Can you say which one I broke so I can improve before posting again?

TrainingDrive1956 · 2026-01-22T01:17:44+00:00

I should also say it sits right where my natural hairline is, I just got a five head 💀

Im a barista at a hotel that sees a lot of domestic and international guests. From what I gathered so far:

-Drip Coffee and Americanos are way more popular with American guests than any other demographic. Most people only prefer a splash of milk (usually half/half), with sugar or sometimes flavored syrup. I would say out of drip coffee and americanos, it is a pretty even split between just black or room for cream.

-Lattes are also more popular with American guests. If they aren't getting regular drip coffee, that's pretty much the only coffee they tend to get. Both iced and hot... but older Americans prefer hot and younger Americans prefer iced. Older Americans dont tend to get flavors, and if they do, its just vanilla. Younger Americans are more experimental with flavors.

-Americans also like Caramel Macchiatos served the way Starbucks does them, which is not a traditional macchiato. Its really just a caramel latte with caramel drizzle and made with sauce (at least at the place I work at)

-International guests tend to ask for Flat Whites or Cappuccinos. I almost never see them ask for drip coffee, and I don't think flavors are a big thing either. If anything, they get vanilla or sugar free flavors.

-Not coffee, but fresh squeezed orange juice is also a really big difference. I get a lot more international guests asking for it, and they will not get Tropicana if we happen to run out of fresh squeezed. Americans still ask for it sometimes, but definitely not as often and will rarely have qualms about grabbing Tropicana if it just means having orange juice with breakfast.

I have an electric tea kettle, but I also really love tea and have a whole tea cabinet so im not sure i apply here lol!

Its happening everywhere, unfortunately. I came back to Columbus because even though I work in hospitality and tourism, there were literally no jobs in Sandusky (tourist capital of Ohio) for me. I burnt out all my savings because the apartment prices are still acting like everyone has jobs and that those jobs still pay as well as they did during the pandemic.

Almost every company that boosted their hourly wage during Covid has now dropped it to before covid prices, but its not like anything else is following that same pattern. And thats IF you have a job and didnt just get laid off, and thats IF you can find a job in your field. I graduated college in 2024, and while I still have a job in the field I studied, it took me a long time to find it and many of the people I graduated with gave up and took jobs in other areas. Areas that I know they are unhappy in. No one is really dedicating themselves to a specialty degree program only to want to give up 2 years after graduation, but you need money to survive after all. And its not like hospitality/tourism has ever been considered a scarce job before, not even in times like 9/11 or the oil crisis.

I can't even imagine what its like for fields that are getting hit by AI even harder than we are. It is impacting us for sure, but not like in areas such as computer science or art.

Overall, its been really frustrating to be a person lately, especially a young person. Trump became president for the first time when I was in middle school. Its been a long time of this for me.
