Unpacking after a trip is something you either do as soon as you get home, or three weeks later, and those are the only options. Sometimes, you get back from a trip and put the entire suitcase away ASAP so that you can chill out and unwind after the journey.

Some people have wacky family traditions...

This guy's in-laws need to face reality.

If you want a favor from someone… Isn't it kind of insane to insult the person who you're requesting said favor from? Bonus insanity points for insulting whatever skill or position that is allowing them to do said favor for you. You can't have your ignorant-ass cake and eat it too.
