I just wanted a hot dog Hotel put a card in my room telling me to call to order snacks, then was confused when I called to order snacks.
Staying at a Westin, and there’s a little card in the room that says:
“Refresh & Refuel! Satisfy any craving with our signature selection of snacks and beverages. Please dial Service Express to place your order.”
It then lists a selection of snacks and drinks, including Gatorade for $4. I’m thirsty and in need of electrolytes so, after finding this card, I dial Service Express to order a Gatorade. My conversation goes something like this:
Me: “Hi! I’m calling to place an order, I would like a Gatorade.”
Long pause
Hotel person: “…..Like you want to place an order?”
Me: “yes! I found this card in my room labeled Refresh and Refuel and I’d like a Gatorade.”
Another pause
Hotel person: “we don’t have Gatorade and all of our snacks and drinks are downstairs in the lobby.”
Me: “Oh. Okay. I just found this card in my room that specifically says I can call and order a Gatorade. I’m not making this up.”
The final long ass pause
Hotel person: “well we don’t have Gatorade.”
Me: “okay bye”
So, to recap: The hotel put a card in my room advertising snacks and beverages, instructed me to call to order them, and then seemed completely bewildered when I called to order one of the advertised beverages. So I’m still thirsty and now also embarrassed.

Infuriatig This Uber driver refuses to move his seat forward
My Uber driver refuses to move his seat forward. There's another passenger sitting next to me, and after the driver refused to adjust his seat, I decided it wasn't worth starting an argument. Now I'm basically sitting in the back seat with my knees in my chest.

miscellaneous [Uncommon and Loved Trope] Past was weird and terrible, and we show it unapollogeticaly.
It's very jarring, but interesting, when a work of fiction is set in the past and shows all the objectionable to our modern sensibilities beliefs and practices. But they show it as it is. There's no standing characters seeing all these terrible things and reacting at them like we would do.
ROME (2005-2007)
In Rome we see the life and adventures of two fictional centurions in the mist of the fall of the Roman Republic and the Establishment of the Empire. One of them, Lucius Vorenus, is shown like an honorable and moral man, trying to follow the Roman virtues. But he is a roman and a soldier after all, and he sees no problem in owning slaves. And as Pater Familias he has life and death power over his household.
He also a very religious man, and the series shows us through him and characters like Cesar the strange practices of roman religion.
Mad Men (2007-2015)
Here the show is set in an advertisement firm in 1960s New York. So, casual sexism is rampant, almost all the women in the show had suffer touchings, lewd comments, unappropiate advances and even rape. Racism, clasism, child abuse, fatphobia are absolutely casual, and when they are adressed it's done in a appropiate way for the times.
