The Strangest Things People In Each State Put On Their Hamburgers—Would You Eat Them?

Most of us know what belongs on a hamburger. At least, we think we do. Across America, regional burger traditions and familiar local ingredients have produced some combinations you probably wouldn’t think to order. Some go on top. One even goes inside. Which ones would you eat, and which ones would you avoid?

Flight Delays - Fb

My airline says a mechanical delay doesn't qualify for a hotel because the repair was unexpected. Isn't that their responsibility?

If an airline tells you a surprise mechanical problem means it does not owe you a hotel, that answer can sound final. It often is not that simple. In the United States, whether you get lodging usually depends less on whether the repair was unexpected and more on the airline’s own policy and whether the delay is considered within its control.

My cruise line changed our cabin to a lower deck but calls it an equivalent room. Should location count as part of the booking?

You book a cruise, pick your cabin, and start imagining sea views and easy access to your favorite spots onboard. Then an email lands saying your room has been changed, but the line insists it is an equivalent cabin. For many travelers, the real question is simple: if the new room is on a lower deck, is it really equivalent at all?

Papal astronomer' Father Giuseppe Koch

The Vatican has actually considered what the discovery of alien life would mean for Jesus—and the answer gets strange.

If Jesus came to save humanity, where would that leave anyone living on another world? This is a legitimate question for religious leaders and one that the Vatican has actually spent time thinking about. However, the answers they've come up with might not be what you expect.

My brother wants us to hide his girlfriend's child from the hotel to avoid an extra-person fee. Could that get us kicked out?

If your brother wants your group to hide his girlfriend’s child from the hotel to avoid an extra-person fee, that is not a harmless travel hack. In many hotels, it can violate the booking contract, trigger extra charges, and in some cases lead to eviction without a refund. The short answer is yes, it could get your group kicked out.

Flight Airport Change - Fb

My airline moved my departure to another airport across town. Am I expected to pay the cost of getting there without compensation?

You book a flight from one airport, then the airline quietly shifts your departure to another one across town. Suddenly, the trip to the airport is longer, pricier, and much more stressful. The big question is simple: are you supposed to absorb that extra ground transport cost yourself?

My airline wants me to check a fragile musical instrument even though I bought it a seat. Can they refuse a ticketed item?

It feels like the ultimate travel loophole. You buy your fragile cello or guitar its own seat, only to be told at the gate that the instrument still has to go in the cargo hold. The frustrating truth is that a ticketed extra seat does not automatically force an airline to carry the item in the cabin if it does not meet the carrier’s safety rules.

My hotel hosts loud weddings beside guest rooms until midnight. Should regular guests be warned before booking?

It sounds dreamy until it is your room shaking to bass at 11:47 p.m. Hotels that host weddings can be a brilliant choice for couples, but they can be a rough deal for regular guests who expected a quiet night. The big question is simple and practical: should hotels warn people before they book if a loud event will run beside guest rooms until midnight?
