Absolutely. You have to be prepared to shit yourself at LEAST 5 times a day every day.

This, but in case of period instead, because somehow every single vacation I'm on it. Literally one vacation it was late 2 weeks and started right when my vacation started 😒
For 3 days I packed two extra pairs. Was also going to two concerts though, back to back. So, I was kinda gross and sweaty when I came back to the hotel, so it got used. But, I also do this when I'm bot going to a concert.
"I'm bot"
Get em, boys!
Beep boop beep. Hello fellow human. I am not bot.
Because they don’t sell underwear where you travel to? N+1 is the right answer.
And people wonder why we Americans are so weird when we bring our huge suitcases, packed full of clothes will probably never wear…
I can't wear a shirt for more than two days without getting smelly. Antitranspirant helps, but I just got noticeable BO. A week in the same shirt is not happening even if I'm home alone and not leaving the house
No. Maybe grammatically, but that doesn't take into account that the poster is human and that part of the post wasn't the focus of it. People make grammatical mistakes all the time especially if they don't take time to consider what they're saying. I could easily see myself phrasing it this way if I didn't take the time to figure out how to say "each day this week I put on a shirt and did not change it for that day"
Fair enough, they could have meant something other than what they wrote. I still disagree though - it seems more likely they exaggerated intentionally for dramatic/comedic effect. The joke works better with the straightforward, grammatical interpretation.
Can you explain to me why doing laundry is not a thing for many people on vacation? Why hurl a giant suitcase of clothing instead of a few pieces you wash every couple of days? Never made sense to me.
Because vacation is often camping or staying in a hotel. And there aren't reasonably-priced laundry facilities in either place
But sure, if you have a washing machine in the place you're staying... Even then, washing every couple of days feels excessive.
But I'm not the one packing 32 shirts either
My last trip was to a foreign country, 2nd world country. I brought enough clothes for half the trip, and did laundry in the sink with locally sourced soap. Hung them in the room to dry 🤷♂️
Hotel laundry was prohibitively expensive, though I suppose I could've found a Laundromat 🤔
At any rate, the towards the end of the trip we stayed somewhere with a washing machine, so we all did a load and hung them on the drying rack.
Clean clothes are important. Sometimes, MAYBE, I'll go three days on a shirt. But only for work, because I work mostly alone and don't sweat much or at all most days. But if I do? Or it gets dirty? New shirt.
In my normal life it's similar, I can MAYBE get two days from a shirt in the spring fall winter, but not summer. One and done.
Same with showers, MAYBE two days, I've done three in a pinch but it's gross. Gotta wash yourself every day. Can't believe people who don't.
i bring clothesline and sheets of laundry detergent that pack very light just need a sink or tub
Longer trips, yes. A week? You don't want to spend all that money just to spend half a day near a public Laundromat.
You also don't know the area, don't know the laundry places, gamble on a lot of things not even knowing it works like how you think it does there.
I'm busy doing shit I don't wanna wait around for laundry. Plus I've only once had access to a laundry room I trusted to not have stuff stolen out of it; we specifically planned for it because it was three weeks and we needed somewhere to do laundry at the halfway mark
Costs? In most hotels, doing laundry is really expensive per piece. In some apartments having a washing machine, you have to pay per load and sometimes the washer/energy, too.
So, packing for a few days extra mostly is just question of cost vs. comfort?
But yeah, asked myself the same question packing a big suitcase for the last vacation...
Because these people evidently don't onebag.
My goal in life is to someday go on an international journey with only a wallet and a phone. Maybe a compute bag. But no accoutrement.
Not even a towel? 🤨
Technically I’ve done this, I even went without a wallet and nearly forgot my passport. Then again, I live in Denmark, so driving south for a couple of hours lands me in Germany. Technically an international journey, but not what you meant I think 😀
Bought a suitcase and filled it up there 😅
I can smell this tweet
I'll go on a trip over 2½ days in autumn, and for dietary reasons, I can't really expect to find food there. So, my current plan is genuinely to just bring my own food for the whole trip.
And yeah, it's just 7 meals, a bag of food is probably enough. But in my head, I'm already trying to work out the logistics of transporting a shopping cart's worth of food there. 🫠
