Cranky yet conscientious and fitfully creative geezer. Identify as 35 yo and lefthanded. History of loudmouthed introversion.

Keep all your things visible in a hotel room and all gathered into one spot. That way you’ll never leave anything behind. If you need to have something like a charger off to the side, place a couple of other large items next to it. You are less likely to leave three items behind than just one.

Denying or deflecting a compliment is rude. Accept it with thanks, even if you believe it is not deserved.
