Maid’s carts outside my hotel room door at the New Orleans Sheraton

 

I sympathize.  I really do.

Working as a hotel maid must be a brutal job.  It doesn’t pay shit.  You’re forced to clean up other people’s filth.  I can’t even begin to imagine the nasty things you see every day.

That said, I do have one simple request.

QUIT WAKING ME UP EVERY FUCKING MORNING AT 7:20 AM!

Mother’s (New Orleans)

Whoever wrote that has never eaten at famous Mother’s Restaurant, on Poydras Street in New Orleans.

Warning! Do Not Eat at this Restaurant!

 

pancake-house

 

I just finished walking two fucking miles through the mountains of North Carolina only to find the ending point of my destination closed for business.

I did this not just once, but twice.  Once on Saturday, and again a second time on Sunday.

You might ask — at what precise hour of the day were my two excursions?

My first venture ended at 2:20 pm.  My second venture was completed at 1:05 pm.

Question:  What kind of fucking pancake house padlocks its front doors at 1:05!

I’ll tell you precisely what pancake house.  Stick around.  Grab a chair.  Pop some popcorn.  Better yet — make some pancakes!
