    See now, as a US person who expects to tip housekeeping (and I tip them generously because I know they’re exploited and also our family has extra needs) and who also knows about shitty customers, I mostly read the note as “Don’t leave money lying randomly around and then come screaming that the maids have stolen it and you want your room comped. Use the envelope for tips.”














  • Please don’t disable the alerts just because they’re irritating. They have saved so many lives, even though they fuck up sometimes.

    Just, instead of panicking, do a quick internet check if you don’t have other evidence of the danger. You might find that you’re not in the danger zone yet but might be soon if the wind changes or whatever. Then you can monitor the situation.

    You can also consider them a message from the Universe to check up on your emergency stuff: How much drinking water and food do you have and is it expired? Do you have a bug-out bag and do the pants in it still fit? What would you use to carry all your regular meds? (Don’t store just a few pills, scoop up all the bottles of what you’re normally using, because it might be awhile before you get refills) Do you have a litterbox and food for your cat, as well as a carrier? What about any important documents, know where they are? And where would you go?



  • Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
