I'm known to actually say those very words, frequently when my local small store is out of something I want. The clerk and I both get a chuckle over it. It ain't as if they're gonna crap out what I want and complaining to the clerk isn't gonna make the product magically appear.
I upgraded to a queen because I like to surround myself in a nest of pillows and blankets but I'd have no problem sleeping on a twin for a few days. The difference between a king and a queen is negligible unless you happen to be over 6'5"
I never thought I'd want a king bed until now. First time my husband and I shared a king, we felt so far apart. Now I'm begging him to stop sleeping in the middle of the bed (doesn't start there, sleep shifts there) on our queen because I'm running out of room. Not to mention how absolutely boiling it gets now that I'm pregnant
Comedian Yakov Smirnoff used to joke that on his first night in an American hotel, the front desk staff asked if he wanted a King or a Queen in his room. He said, "What a country! But I was hoping I wouldn't have to share."
@@RK-fz7qc which doesn't make it better. When he learned English did he not learn it properly? And did he not use the same joke in other areas of the world? If he did, then why is the comment worded like that? If he didn't, then he's not intelligent.
@@johnclaybaugh9536 ok my dude, I’ll spell it out for you. Learning a new language is tough. You don’t just decide to learn a new language, and *bam* you automatically know everything about it. And how many languages are you fluent in? Its so easy to hate in a non-English speaker trying to learn a new language, yet many English speakers are only monolingual, lol. And his bit is that he acts like a new immigrant from Russia who doesn’t fully understand English phrases and idioms. A 2 second google search, and you would have known that yourself. Your comment was dumb and to double down on it once you are given the facts makes you sound even dumber. And your humor must be broken, bec it is funny 🤷♀️
@johnclaybaugh9536 The part where he pretends to not understand is the joke. It's not a real thing that happened. Without growing up just calling things certain words or knowing the origin of those words, some stuff can be kind of funny or weird to people just learning a language, and that created the opportunity for him to make a joke.
Then you get old and realize the position of how you sleep is giving you lower back pain, then your hips start hurting because your body is compensating for the pain in your lower back, and once the hips go, the knees are sure to follow as they take extra strain compensating for the lower back and hip pain.
I took my daughter to see and walk through a ww2 battle ship in baton rouge. She asked where everyone slept and pointed to the hammock contraptions hanging on either side of us. She was not pleased. She said she would take the Captains bed only. Sweet summer child.
@@chingizzhylkybayev8575 but who promised him a room with a king bed? It was booked for him and he wanted to change it. He just assumed there was gonna be a king
I am in agreement with the staff worker on this one. Whether it a king or queen, if you are traveling alone you only take up so much space and I'm a BIG girl. But you know what bothers me the most is when hotels put beds in their handicap rooms are too tall. Some are even too tall for a normal room. You literally have to jump to get into bed and that isn't possible for a handicap person with mobility impairment. I can't tell you how many times I have stayed in a hotel and requested a handicap room to find out the beds were normal height or higher. I've raised the problem to the staff at the desk a couple times. Most are like 'I didn't think of that' or 'I thought for sure they were lower'. Some are even 'whatever'. These are things I wish they would take into account when designing and putting together handicap rooms, but often isn't thought of because those doing it aren't handicapped and don't understand what is needed.
The accessable rooms are never really accessible. I use a mobility scooter and can’t fit it in the room of most hotels even though the one I use is tiny. Having one diagonal tub bar and no grips in the tub is not accessible and not being able to provide a shower chair makes it worse. Becoming disabled really made me think about how good I had it before I lost mobility.
I actually had a heart attack and subsequent open heart surgery in the VA hospital six months ago. My bed, in the ICU, was depression era vintage (even though the hospital opened in 1987), for real, a military base I was on had an infirmary built in the 1930's and the beds in that infirmary were identical to the ICU beds in the VA hospital. Post ICU, the bed in that room was much more modern. I get where you're coming from. I'm a disabled vet and people with disabilities or very short legs aren't thought of in modern car or bed design.
That's because typically they (corporate) does the bear minimum to ensure ada coverage. Some hotels the only difference in a disabled room and normal is a doorbell/sound system for hearing impaired guests and some (often crappy) handrails on the toilet. They don't always even have a shower
@@SealandPK Never thought about that before. Just had a total knee replacement and my 20+ year old mattress just wasn't working for me anymore ..... in part because of how it was ..... so I treated myself to an adjustable bed and had to impress upon the installers to not exceed a certain height once they put the mattress on the base.
Jessica Sparkles This had me in stitches, Your "can I have a rant" just hit home I worked in hotels for over 20 years one day a guest (a regular guest) came up to me after a crazy busy night, and asked how do we cope with ummm differcult/guests, (great question) so I just said that when all the guest have gone and we close up, the staff gather in the hotel bar, and we have a rant with each other and then it's done and we go home and start again the next day 😂
Sorry... Absolutely nothing to do with your post (which I agree with and post work rants make the day easier), but... Jessica Sparkles? Did Jessica Glitter marry Robin Sparkles? Lol (Sorry, I'm currently binging HIMYM.) 😅
It's more like a time capsule. Modern embalming and sealed artificial construction materials slow decay. Unless you're environmentally/space conscious or subscribe to certain religions, theres a lot of people whose return to the natural life cycle is delayed and chemical-ridden :(
@@renfrien7009That's always freaked me out. I don't want to be embalmed and I certainly don't want to be buried in a metal box. Wrap me in a shroud and put me in the ground and let me go back into nature. I think that's beautiful, letting plants and animals use what's left of me to grow and live. I don't want my body to still be around years after I've died, that makes me feel weird, a bit like the idea of being in a vegetative state and not allowed to die.
@@sapphireseptember Do you know about 'pods'. forget the name of the company, but someone is offering a pod the body is put into and a tree is planted above it. "This" carbon will be transformed into a might oak someday.
@@thomasboese3793 I have! I don't know if it's available in the UK. Natural burial is very similar. A wicker coffin or shroud made out of linen or cotton, and clothes made out of similar, so everything will break down quickly, and then a tree planted over your grave. I don't know if you watch Ask A Mortician, but that's where I found out about it.
I went to a new general practitioner doctor and they were going over medical history with me. They asked about any allergies. I said penicillin. They asked how my body reacted to penicillin. I said “I get hives/very sensitive rashes on my soft parts.” And I motioned to my tummy, inside my upper arms and inside of my legs. Dr. said “that’s a new one. I’ve never heard it referred to like that before.” I have worked with reptiles and other creatures for some time 😅Dr. seemed to think for 30s and got a look like “hum, makes sense”
@@thefishingpolHey genius, they weren’t trying to talk about beds. The manager said “Hadn’t heard that one before!” and they were relating a story about *that*
Another advantage of a king over two queens is that it frees up a lot of floor space. Often there are extra chairs and more room in front of the desk, which is a lot nicer arrangement for work.
When it's ONE PERSON, staying in the room for a business conference, they don't need all that space. They won't be spending much time in the room, beyond showering and sleeping.
Its not just a shelf, its warmth, comfort, happieness, rest, health. Obsiously getting pissed off at a hotel employee or any employee is just immature and egotistical but beds can be very important to some, like me. Also im not trying to be negative, i liked the video
"...the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care, The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Chief nourisher in life’s feast." -Shakespeare, _Macbeth_
Yours is THE comment I was looking for! We spend a significant amount of time RESTING our bodies in bed..... they need to be comfortable. She's young, she'll come to value her bed more later in life.
@@ac1646 yeah, if your young sleeping isn’t a big deal, wait until your older and your body starts hurting every morning when you wake up because you slept on a shitty bed…. Or wait until you slip a disc…. Your bed will be super important then… every detail about it will matter, the height off the floor, the springs, construction of the mattress, the length and width, the pillows, the angle of your head to the bed…. Etc etc.
Two things: 1. A bed being a shelf you put your body on when you’re not using it is a great line! 2. I understand the twin bed in a studio apartment thing. I had a queen bed in my first apartment, which was a nice one bedroom. When I moved back to my hometown, I could only get into a studio apartment. I had to go from a queen bed to a twin. Took a little adjusting, especially because I still sleep in a queen bed at my job (I work overnights at a group home with high functioning and independent residents, so our overnight staff can sleep). Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow and make those minor adjustments in life…
Yeah. Back in the Army, I could sleep anywhere, anyway, anytime. I'm now 59. I go "camping" now, I need a 3 room tent, an airmatress, and a camp toilet. Yup. I'm old now
I felt this way, for YEARS. THEN I got a king bed 😂😂😂 now I really am super apologetic and try to make it right any way I can. Typically most guests are okay.. sometimes not so much ! I get it but.. it’s life ! Like you said it’s just a shelf you put your body on when you’re not using it 😂😂
A shelf you put your body on is actually the perfect description of a twin bed. There’s a reason children sleep on them, because they perfectly working spines! Last time I did I slept on one I felt everything the next morning.
The idea that a queen sized bed would be an adjustment is honestly mindblowing unless your hiding the fact your 6'4" or somethin cuz my buddy needs a king at that height and that i understand.
