Some TV shows, like "Breaking Bad," really play up the location in which they are set — everyone knows where they were filmed. Others, like "Roseanne," could technically be anywhere.

However, every single US state has been home to an iconic TV show— from Indiana being the site of "Stranger Things" to Pennsylvania being home of "The Office."

We looked at how many awards any given show has won or was nominated for using IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, as well as its cultural impact in today's world to determine the most famous TV show in every state.

Alabama: "Hart of Dixie"

When Zoe Hart, a New York-based doctor, learns that her biological father (who she never knew) died and left her his medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama, she drops everything and moves there.

The hardened New Yorker clashes with many of the residents of the tiny town, but soon finds herself in a love triangle with a local lawyer and a bad boy bartender.

"Hart of Dixie" ran for four seasons on the CW and starred Rachel Bilson in the lead role, along with Jaime King, Cress Williams, Wilson Bethel, and Scott Porter.

Alaska: "Northern Exposure"

Rob Morrow plays Joel Fleischman, a New York City doctor assigned to practice medicine in the tiny town of Cicely, Alaska. The comedy-drama is mostly about him adjusting to life in small-town Alaska.

The show also stars Barry Corbin, Janine Turner, John Cullum, Darren E. Burrows, Cynthia Geary, and Elaine Miles, along with John Corbett in one of his first acting roles.

During its six-season run, "Northern Exposure" received 89 award nominations, winning 27 of them, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 1992.

Arizona: "Medium"

Patricia Arquette plays Allison DuBois, a woman trying to balance raising three daughters with working as a medium for the Phoenix District Attorney's office. DuBois has the ability to communicate with the dead, foresee future events, and witness past ones in her dreams. 

Arquette won an Emmy for her role and the show received a total of 33 award nominations. Jake Weber, Miguel Sandoval, Sofia Vassilieva, Maria Lark, and David Cubitt rounded out the rest of the regular cast. 

• Your flights from LAX just got an upgrade with thePrivate Suite experience for VIP travelers.
• As members of the Private Suite LAX, travelers are escorted to a hotel-style room where couches and refreshments await and their TSA screening is done in private — no lines, baggage check or walking across terminals.
• LAX announced partnerships with Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and Montage Beverly Hills to enhance Private Suite accommodations.

If you’ve ever dreamt of an airport terminal with a quiet place to read while you wait to board your flight, or if you’ve ever desperately wanted to take a shower the moment you land, there’s a secluded place that can happen at LAX. As long as you’re willing to dish out $4,500 a year for annual membership, a private bathroom (with shower) is on the horizon.

LAX launched The Private Suite last spring, promising a VIP experience: free of long lines and for higher-profile individuals, no paparazzi. This month, the members-only service announced partnerships with Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and Montage Beverly Hills offering packages for VIP travelers that include complimentary use of the Private Suite.

Members of The Private Suite never have to step foot in the main terminal — the company claims it takes precisely 70 steps from car to aircraft. Check-in, baggage, customs, and TSA screening are processed discreetly, while clients sit back in their hotel-style rooms and watch planes take off from their windows. A team of eight is assigned to each traveler, escorting clients from the moment they enter the gated compound to the time they board their flights.

Gavin de Becker and Associates owns and operates The Private Suite, which means the same national security services that have protected US government officials, business executives, and prominent families oversee these exclusive accommodations at LAX, one of the country’s busiest airports.

Here's an inside look at the what it’s like to be a member of The Private Suite:

Celebrities flock to the Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, every year in glamorous outfits to fit the year's extravagant theme. 

The gala raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, but the elegant and exclusive event isn't exempt from scandal. 

Here are eight controversies surrounding the Met Gala. 

7. Tina Fey slammed the Met Gala as a "jerk parade."

Tina Fey went to the Met Gala in 2010, but she apparently did not have a great time. In a 2015 interview with David Letterman, Fey proceeded to rant about the gala, calling it "such a jerk parade."

She added, "Every jerk from every walk of life is there, wearing some stupid thing … It's just everybody, if you had a million arms, it's all the people you would punch in the whole world."

6. Demi Lovato left the Met Gala because of a 'complete b---h.'

Demi Lovato says that she left the 2016 Met Gala because another celebrity in attendance made her experience so bad that she had to leave the gala to attend an AA meeting.

She told Billboard, "This one celebrity was a complete b--- and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink."

Some people claim it could be Nicki Minaj, but most don't think that's true. 

6. Anna Wintour reportedly refused to invite Kim Kardashian to the Met Gala for years.

It has been reported that Anna Wintour wanted to keep reality stars, including the Kardashians, away from the gala, but Kim Kardashian later attended with Kanye West in 2013. That's all water under the bridge now, and Kim has become a staple at the Met. 

Since the premiere of ABC's drama "Quantico" in 2015, Priyanka Chopra has been getting a lot of attention for becoming the first South Asian actress to lead an American series.

In 2016, she was named in Time's new 100 Most Influential People issue alongside the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Leonardo DiCaprio.

When "Quantico" first premiered, most Americans had no clue that she was already a big deal in India. Not only did she place at the Miss India pageant, but she went on to win Miss World. She then had a successful career as a film actress in Bollywood.

In addition to her role as Alex Parrish on "Quantico," she is involved in issues like education, hunger, and equal rights for women.

Like her character on "Quantico," there's more to Chopra than meets the eye.

Here's the fabulous life and rise to fame of Priyanka Chopra:

Priyanka Chopra's parents were doctors in the Indian army, so the family moved often.

Priyanka even attended the 10th grade in Boston, where she said she was bullied.

"It broke my spirit,"she told Glamour. "It made me question who I was. Why was it so uncool being Indian?"

Before winning Miss World, Chopra wanted to be an engineer.

Before winning pageants, she considered being an aeronautical engineer for NASA.

In 2003, Chopra made her first Bollywood movie, "The Hero: Love Story of a Spy."

Chopra has starred in more than 50 Indian films, taking on the roles of a model, a boxer, and an autistic teenager.

Fame typically as a result of constant, deliberate, and even painful effort. In some cases, however, a happenstance meeting, a random photo op, or the post-mortem actions of friends become the catalyst launching a celebrity to legendary status. INSIDER found four examples of famous historical figures who owed their big breaks to a stroke of luck.

Shakespeare is a big deal today because his friends published the First Folio after his death.

As anyone who's ever seen "Shakespeare In Love" can attest, the Bard had a pretty good career going during his lifetime. His own company of players, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, had a residency at the Globe Theater in London, and Will's shows — particularly the comedies — attracted a wide range of audience members, from peasants to noblemen and sometimes even royals.

By the time of his death, however, Shakespeare's star had significantly faded. According to Shakespeare scholar Andrea Mays and historian James L. Swanson, Shakespeare wasn't actively producing new work during the last years of his life, and few of his past works existed in a concrete, publishable form. But after his passing, two of Shakespeare's friends and former collaborators did him an enormous favor ... by completely ignoring his last will and testament.

John Heminges and Henry Condell, both performers in Shakespeare's company and personal friends of the playwright, received sums of money in Shakespeare's will. Shakespeare instructed his friends to use the cash to purchase gold "memorial" rings, but Heminges and Condell had other ideas.

They instead spent their inheritances on a project that would change the literary world forever: compiling Shakespeare's notes, manuscripts, and draft books into an authorized collection of his works. The result? The First Folio, a volume published in 1623 (seven years after Shakespeare's death) which allowed Shakespeare's writings to live on for centuries.

Alfred Nobel's most famous discovery — dynamite — happened by accident.

His name may be most closely associated with the Peace Prize he founded, but Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel first became famous for creating a less-than-peaceful invention: dynamite. However, this game-changing explosive wasn't the result of deliberate action, but rather a surprising accident.

Nobel spent several years attempting to stabilize nitroglycerin, a liquid compound with explosive properties. After considerable trial and error (resulting in multiple accidental detonations with casualties), Nobel found the solution while transporting nitroglycerin to a new lab facility in the mid-1860s.

One of the cans used to hold the nitroglycerin popped open during transit, and upon opening the cargo area to assess the damage, Nobel realized that the packing material surrounding the cans — a soft but solid compound of sedimentary rock known as kieselguhr — absorbed the liquid nitroglycerin in just the right way to stabilize it. This discovery led to further experimentation, and once Nobel figured out how to merge nitroglycerin and kieselguhr without compromising the former's potency, he had the recipe for dynamite.

As it turns out, Nobel's legacy relied on mistakes more than once. In 1888, Nobel's brother passed away, and a French newspaper erroneously claimed that Alfred Nobel died instead.

In the incorrect obituary they published for Nobel, they dubbed him a "merchant of death" and assigned Nobel blame for the destructive potential of his most famous invention. Deeply upset and ashamed by this reaction to his life's work, Nobel revised his own last will and testament, bequeathing the bulk of his estate to future winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.

John Wayne went from a film-set crew member to a leading man thanks to one friendship.

The most famous on-screen cowboy in history, John Wayne didn't get his big break by auditioning or slipping his head-shot to agents. Instead, the one-time USC football player had to abandon his dreams of playing in the pros due to an injury. This event caused him to leave school and start looking around Hollywood for odd jobs to help him pay the rent, and Wayne ultimately signed on as a low-level crew member for Fox Studios' props department.

Film studios often used crew members as extras back then, and Wayne managed to get on-camera a few times, largely because of his football-player build. During one such occasion, he became friends with director John Ford, who saw something special in this broad-shouldered and stoic prop runner. Ford helped Wayne by introducing him to other directors (including Raoul Walsh, who gave Wayne his first starring role in "The Big Trail") and eventually cast him in his breakthrough role as The Ringo Kid in "Stagecoach." 

• A coffee addiction can have drastic effects on your body, but there are ways to manage it in a healthy manner.
• Coffee shouldn't be the only breakfast you have each morning since it doesn't have the same nutrients that actual food does.
• Topping off your cup of java with some cinnamon has great health benefits, like anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

Don't have coffee — and only coffee — for breakfast

So, you're running late for work and you manage to guzzle down a cuppa before heading into your first a.m. meeting. Fast forward to mid-day and your stomach is growling and you realize that — whoops! — you completely forgot to eat breakfast and now it's past lunchtime. Though drinking coffee is healthy, Adina Pearson, RD, says that because coffee can suppress your appetite and is a stimulant, some people use it as a meal replacement. "Coffee's stimulant properties may mask the fact you're undereating, but it's only temporary. Good self-care means eating enough — not just being buzzed. You can't run on caffeine because you need food — carbs, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, and fiber — for overall health." Here are seven signs you're drinking too much caffeine.

Give bulletproof a shot

Bulletproof coffee is considered a "healthier" version of coffee because it has butter and coconut oil, which contains medium-chain fats that have been shown in studies to have a beneficial effect on blood lipids — lowering triglycerides and raising HDLs. As president and chief culinary officer at Culinary Health Solutions, Ken Immer, CCHE explains, "The fats from the butter and coconut milk are a great combination to 'prime the energy pump' in the morning. You'll give your coffee some 'bite' that keeps you going until lunchtime, plus you'll get all of the additional nutrients, especially when we choose grass-fed butter." You can either buy Bulletproof or make it yourself at home.

Figure out if you really like coffee

Do you remember the first time you had a cup of coffee? More likely than not, you were in college and cramming for a final and your roommate suggested brewing up a batch. It might have been love at first sip, or you could have stomached your way through it, hoping it'd help you ace your test. Either way, now that you're older (and hopefully, wiser), Pearson says to make sure you actually like coffee or if you're using it as a band-aid to your poor sleep habits.

"Coffee is a pick-me-up, but working toward a normal sleep pattern will make life much better than caffeine. If you're using coffee to survive on inadequate sleep, your body and mind are still tired and you'll still not be at your best physically and mentally," she explains. "Chronic inadequate sleep raises stress hormones and contributes to a lot of health problems."

A new version of Snap's camera glasses are here — and they have some major improvements over the original model. 

Snap on Thursday released the second-generation Spectacles, a slimmer, lighter, better-looking version of the company's camera glasses, and the first hardware update since they were first released in late 2016. 

The new Spectacles have a few basic aesthetic improvements — including no obvious yellow rings on the front and more sophisticated colors — but Snap also made some technological tweaks, like adding waterproofing and a still-image mode. 

Here are all the major differences between the new Snap Spectacles and the original version:

The new Spectacles cost more than the first generation.

Spectacles now cost $150, a $20 increase over the first version.

The new Spectacles come in slightly different colors.

The new version comes in sapphire, ruby, and onyx.

While they're the same general colors — the original Spectacles came coral, teal, and black, as depicted in the image above — the new Spectacles colors are darker and more high-end.

You'll now have two different options for lens colors with the new Spectacles.

With each color, you can choose between a darker or lighter lens option.

If you want sapphire Spectacles, you can decide between "twilight" and "midnight" lenses. Ruby Spectacles come with "daybreak" or "sunset" lenses, and onyx Spectacles have either "moonlight" or "eclipse" lenses. 

It is not exactly a secret that real-life sexual encounters rarely live up to what is seen in movies and TV. Sure, some may fantasize about reenacting a steamy sex scene from "Game of Thrones" or "50 Shades of Grey," but sex is almost always done the old-fashioned way — in a bed, missionary style, with the door closed and the lights turned off. 

Right?

Well, apparently not. According to a new study conducted by sex toy store EdenFantasys, 69% of Americans claim to have had sex in a "risky" location. Of those people, 23% were caught in the act and 58% say it enhanced their relationship.

What entails a "risky" location? Nothing much — just a moving roller coaster, a port-o-potty, and right field in the middle of a baseball game. Scroll through to see the rest of the truly wild places where some Americans have apparently had sex. 

1. "A phone booth at Epcot."

2. "Fast food drive-thru."

3. "Behind a convenience store during the day."

• At a talk hosted by Harvard University, Bill Gates said his biggest regret as a student was not socializing more.
• Gates revealed that Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO, would force him to go to fraternity-like parties. "I was so antisocial I wouldn't have even known they existed, but Steve Ballmer decided I needed some exposure to, I guess, drinking."
• He’s not the only billionaire who has this type of regret about college.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University in 1975 — but that wasn’t his biggest regret at the renowned research institute.

He revealed in a question and answer session on Thursday that he wishes he had partied a bit more, and studied a little less.

"I missed a lot — I never went to a football game or a basketball game or whatever sports Harvard might happen to have," Gates said.

The 62-year-old billionaire sat down with Harvard students on Thursday. One Gates Millennium Scholar had a particularly revealing question for him.

Danica Gutierrez, a Harvard sophomore and a Gates Millennium Scholar, was one of the first to ask a question during the student Q&A at Harvard, which was hosted by Harvard Provost Alan Garber and Dean Frank Doyle.

"What is something that you regret doing, or maybe not doing, at Harvard?" Gutierrez asked after thanking the Microsoft founder for supporting her education through the Gates Millennium Scholarship.

"Well, I wish I had been more sociable," Gates said to the audience’s laughter.

He told a story of how Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO, would force Gates to come out to the Fox Club, a Harvard social group that was similar to a fraternity.

"I was so antisocial I wouldn't have even known they existed, but Steve Ballmer decided I needed some exposure to, I guess, drinking," Gates said. "So, I would go to those events and that was highly educational."

Ballmer attended Harvard at the same time as Gates, but he was a social butterfly in comparison: Fox Club member, football team manager, and a writer on two campus publications.

"I wish I had gotten to know more people," Gates said. "I was just so into being good at the classes and taking lots of classes."

"You know, it worked out in the end," he continued.

Plenty of household names regret studying too much, and socializing too little, in their youth.

Gates isn't the only ultra-successful person to reflect in their later lives about how new experiences and people could have been more beneficial than hitting the books.

"In college, I wish I'd known that it's less important to focus on what you want to be, and more important to focus on what you want to learn through experience," Amy Bohutinsky, chief operating officer at Zillow, told Business Insider in January. "The most interesting and fulfilling careers take lots of left and right turns, and it takes curiosity, openness and occasional failure to create the best opportunities."

Classmates aren't the only interesting folks to meet in college. Author and speaker Laura Vanderkam, who attended Princeton, said she wished she had networked with professors, speakers and alumni.

"Simply being a student is a great networking opportunity," Vanderkam told Business Insider in January. "People are almost always willing to answer notes from students and meet with students in a way they won't with 'normal' adults. I wish I'd been more proactive about reaching out to people I wanted to meet who were visiting my university, or had gone there, or had some other connection."

College is a crucial time to meet people — both lifelong friends and casual conversation partners.

College also provides an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.

"Simply interacting with individuals who are different forces group members to prepare better, to anticipate alternative viewpoints and to expect that reaching consensus will take effort," wrote Katherine W. Phillips, senior vice dean at Columbia Business School, in Scientific American in 2014.

"I wish I mixed around a bit more," Gates said. "It was a fun time, though, because there was people around you could talk to 24 hours a day and the classes were so interesting and they fed you."

The 2018 NFL Draft is here! With the first round taking place on Thursday, the NFL world is ripe with rumors of which players will get drafted to which team and where, with plenty of talk of trade-ups and trade-downs. 

To get a sense of how the first round might go, we surveyed 11 NFL Draft experts who have released mock drafts recently to get a sense for which players teams might be considering with all 32 first-round picks.

While many experts predicted trades that shake up the order, we went by consensus picks for each team, which still gives a good idea of when players are projected to go.

The experts: ESPN's Mel Kiper, ESPN's Todd McShay, NFL.com's Bucky Brooks, NFL.com's Peter Schrager, NFL.com's Mike Mayock, NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, Walter Football, CBS Sports' Will Brinson, Rotoworld's Josh Norris, The Ringer's Danny Kelly, NFL Draft Scout's Rob Rang.

This post has been updated.

1. Cleveland Browns — Sam Darnold, QB (USC)

Experts: 8 of 11

Other possibilities: Baker Mayfield, QB (Oklahoma), Josh Allen, QB (Wyoming) 

Key expert quote: From Kelly: "Darnold has the size that teams covet, the arm strength to attack every level of the field, the escapability to get outside the pocket and keep plays alive, and, most important, the ability to throw with anticipation and accuracy, even in the face of pressure."

2. New York Giants — Saquon Barkley, QB (Penn State)

Experts: 9 of 11

Other possibilities: Bradley Chubb, DE (NC State)

Key expert quote: From McShay: "Barkley is the top player in this draft and a generational talent. Odell Beckham Jr., Evan Engram and Barkley are an explosive set of weapons for QB Eli Manning."

3. New York Jets (via Indianapolis Colts) — Baker Mayfield, QB (Oklahoma)

Experts: 6 of 11

Other possibilities: Josh Rosen, QB (UCLA), Darnold

Key expert quote: From Rang: "What Mayfield lacks in stature, he more than makes up for with his competitive fire and playmaking instincts. He makes all the sense in the world for an offense and franchise desperate for a headliner."

• In US cities like Philadelphia and San Jose, it's common for single people to own their own houses.
• SmartAsset looked at the 100 biggest cities and ranked them by their rate of single homeownership.
• Most of the cities were in the West, but the top two cities were both in Virginia.

When you think of single life in the city, it may conjure up memories of crowded four-person apartments or, if you're lucky, a shoebox-sized studio.

But in some American cities, single people can dream bigger. In fact, there are a decent amount of US cities where it's actually the norm for single people to own a house, according to personal finance company SmartAsset.

In a recent report, SmartAsset ranked the 100 biggest US cities by their single homeownership rate — or in other words, the percentage of single-occupant houses that the occupant owns themselves.

The West dominated the list, with the region providing seven of the top 10 cities. Virginia, however claimed the top two cities on the list. Among all the top 25 cities, SmartAsset identified two key trends: cities with large senior and retiree populations tended to place well, as did cities with low median home values.

Something about crime fascinates people — whether it be a morbid interest in the macabre, a genuine attempt to make sense of what happened, or the obsession of trying to piece together a cold case.

The following 50 felonies are some of the most captivating crimes ever committed, having gripped people the world over — some for as long as 80 years. Some are solved, while others remain a mystery.

Here are some of the most well-known crimes that took place in every state.

Editor's Note: These accounts may be upsetting to some as they describe details of real-life cases.

ALABAMA — The arrests of the Scottsboro Boys in Scottsboro

Charlie Weems, Ozie Powell, Clarence Norris, Andrew Wright, Leroy Wright, Olen Montgomery, Willie Roberson, Haywood Patterson, and Eugene Williams were the nine"Scottsboro Boys."

The nine African American teenagers, aged between 13 and 19,were accused of raping two white women. They had all been riding a train on which a fight broke out.

Despite one woman recanting her story, eight of the nine men were sentenced to death, resulting in a lengthy legal battle that had massive implications for America's race relations and legal system. Many now consider the case a gross miscarriage of justice (mostly due to its all-white juries).

In 2013, 82 years after their arrest, three of the Scottsboro boys were posthumously pardoned. Four had had the charges against them dropped in 1938, and one was pardoned in 1976 as the last living Scottsboro boy. All nine were innocent — it just took 82 years for Alabama to admit it.

ALASKA — The Coulthurst family murders in Craig

The entire Coulthurst family (father, mother, and two kids), and four teenage deckhands, were shot to death aboard a fishing boat called the Investor on September 6, 1982. The killer is then believed to have returned to the scene the next afternoon to set the boat on fire.

Two years after the murders, the police arrested John Peel, a former employee of the Coulthursts. His first trial in 1986 ended in a hung jury and a mistrial, and he was acquitted in his second trial. He told People in 2017, "Somebody out there knows what happened."

The case remains unsolved.

ARIZONA – The murder of Bob Crane in Scottsdale

Crane was your typical every-man. He starred in "Hogan's Heroes," a popular sitcom from the '60s and '70s, married his high school sweetheart when he was 19, and had three kids.

But in 1978, he was found murdered in his apartment, having been bludgeoned to death.

While the violent death of any Hollywood actor would cause a media frenzy, the hype kicked into overdrive once it was discovered that Crane was potentially a sex addict (and this was before the term existed). Police found an extensive x-rated video and Polaroid collection featuring Crane with various women.

The case remains unsolved 40 years later. A friend of Crane's, John Michael Carpenter, was arrested for the murder in the '90s after the case was re-opened, but he was acquitted.

• Customers might miss out on some secrets that are obvious to employees.
• Here's a look at some insider facts from employees that you should know if you're planning to go a Big Mac run.

McDonald's jobs are abundant.

About 375,000 people work at the fast-food chain, according to a 2016 McDonald's filing. But if you include franchise employees, as Forbes did in 2015, the number jumps to 1.9 million, making McDonald's one of the largest employers in the world.

Whether they work for franchise locations or corporate stores, McDonald's employees gain a keen insight into the inner workings of the fast-food giant.

People can get pretty invested in their food

"I was amazed at how furious people could get over food,"a person who says they worked at McDonald's wrote on Reddit. "I was a swing manager for a while, and one time I took a call from an angry guy ... Seems that even though he asked for no mustard on his burgers, he got mustard."

The Reddit user said the man claimed to have a spreadsheet on which he recorded every time a McDonald's employee made a mistake with his food. He yelled and kept demanding to speak to the store owner.

The Reddit user said the owner ended up taking a call from the man and promptly hung up after telling him to find "somewhere else to eat in the future."

There's a trick to getting a fresh egg on your breakfast sandwich

Mackenzie Shelton, whose Quora bio says she's a McDonald's employee, offered a hack for getting a fresh-from-the-carton egg on your breakfast sandwich.

Request a "round egg," she said. "It's the best egg we have (and definitely real!)."

The website Serious Eats confirmed that the request could swap out "your folded egg patty with a real egg, free of charge."

Chuck Chan, who says he worked at McDonald's, wrote on Quora that you'd get the same type of egg used in McMuffins.

Employees sometimes get some unusual requests

Sometimes customers come up with some rather unusual requests for McDonald's employees to tackle.

Mike Bowerbank, who said he worked at McDonald's, said on Quora that a woman once asked for a "McDLT" with no meat.

A McDLT is a discontinued McDonald's sandwich that consisted of a cheeseburger split in two and placed on different sides of a specialized container. One half had a bun with a patty and cheese (the hot side), while the other had a bun with vegetables and sauce (the cold side).

"For some odd reason, this seemed to be the funniest thing the girl behind the counter had ever heard and she started laughing," Bowerbank wrote. "And she couldn't stop. The assistant manager had to step in, apologize, and put in the order for her."

Ganesh Satyanarayana said on Quora that while he was working the closing shift at a McDonald's in the UK, he encountered a customer he described as "visibly pregnant."

"She quietly asks me: 'Are you still open? Because I'm craving a sandwich and none of the other McDonald’s were open,'" Satyanarayana wrote. "My heart immediately melted and I let them in and told them that it would take a while as I had already finished cleaning the oil vats and the grill. She said: 'Oh, I don't want any meat on my sandwich, I just want pickles on a toasted bun.' I swear to God, I thought she was joking."

And not all of the strange requests involve food. Arthur Adams, who says he worked at a McDonald's in the 1980s, said on Quora that customers would ask him to tell a joke or sell his McDonald's hat.

• Saying "no" at work is sometimes necessary. The key is knowing when to push back.
• Rejecting requests is a balancing act — you'll need to weigh your current workload and team goals against the needs and wants of others.
• Some factors to consider include the amount of work or effort that would be required, your values and time commitments, and the deadline.

For my first job out of college, I worked as a writer at a financial startup in downtown San Francisco. It was one of those offices that had an open floor plan, catered lunches, unlimited paid time off ... and sky-high expectations.

Everyone seemed to be working on interesting side projects, helping out their coworkers, leading team meetings, and brainstorming hackathon projects every day. It was inspiring to see people who were so engaged with their work. So like Shonda Rhimes, I decided to suppress my introverted tendencies to have a "year of yes."

But juggling the needs and wants of my boss, my team, my coworkers, and the company alongside my own was exhausting. At a certain point, something had to give, and I had to learn to say "no." The key was figuring out when to push back.

Here are nine things it's totally reasonable to say "no" to at work:

1. Ineffective tasks

Former IBM executive and bestselling author Catherine DeVrye wrote in her book that "we have always done it that way" are the "seven most expensive words in business." But the cost of ineffective assignments doesn't just apply to your company's bottom line. It impacts your work, too.

2. Things that don't clearly contribute to your goals and responsibilities

You deserve to know what is expected of you and what you're working toward — something I didn't always do at my first job.

3. Unnecessary meetings

A survey by the Harvard Business Review found that 65% of respondents said meetings kept them from getting work done, and 71% said meetings were "unproductive and inefficient."

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is set to make history as the first leader to cross over to South Korean soil since the Korean War ended in armistice in 1953. 

Kim is set to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-In for the first time.

The two to are likely to discuss pressing issues such as the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as well as defusing military tensions along border, and potentially establishing economic cooperation between the nations.

• Marriage is a lifelong dream for many — I can't say the same for me.
• Though I've had my fair share of long-term relationships, there's many reasons why I'd rather not get married— like my independence and polyamorous relationship style.
• Here's why I'll never get married.

A walk down the aisle has never been part of my agenda. I never bought into the whole "happily ever after after" scenario. To me, the concept of marriage is akin to being buried alive. Ditto for baby making.

That said, I know I'm in the minority — marriage and parenting are life goals for a lot of people.

An editor at a major wedding magazine once told me, when critiquing one of my articles, "I don’t think you're marriage-minded enough to contribute to our magazine." I wore that feedback like a badge of honor for ages.

I've done the long-term coupling thing, so I'm certainly not a commitment-phobe (most recently I was in a relationship that lasted 11 years). In every relationship, I've always had the same agreement with my partners: I want the both of us to show up on a daily basis because we actively choose to — not because we're bonded by a piece of paper and a promise.

And if/when we reach the point when either of our hearts or minds are no longer in it, we agree to have that conversation and go from there. In my experience, this arrangement has led to civilized splits — plus it's much easier than negotiating a divorce. I'm a low-key person who doesn't like drama — this relationship style works well for me.

Here's are few more reasons I'm never going to get married:

1. I'm in no way religious

There’s no almighty power I feel the need to declare my true love before. Sure, I can see the sentimental value of gathering friends and families to seal the sacred bonds of matrimony, but it’s never been a priority for me. I don’t have a lot of family, and I host festive events for my friends at every opportunity. I don’t need a lavish event to celebrate love.

2. Weddings can be pricey

As much as I love a good party, I can think of 101 things I’d rather spend money on than a wedding celebration. The average wedding cost in the United States is $33,391. That’s a whole lot of travel, and I have serious wanderlust.

I’ve joked with partners over the years that the only way I’d consider tying the knot was if I could get a killer set of kitchen knives. Which is kind of silly, given I’m at a point in life where I can afford any wedding gift registry item I want on my own.

3. I'm independent — and not just financially

That said, I am financially independent; my very own "knight in shining armor," if you will. I don’t need a spouse to support me, and in every relationship, I've kept a separate bank account.

I also need a lot of alone time and space. I've cohabitated with partners in the past, but have maintained a long streak of solo living. I can't imagine swapping my solace for shacking up with significant other anytime soon.

• You don't have to spend a fortune on skin care products to get a glowing complexion. 
• Eating lean proteins, fatty acids, and antioxidants can help your skin glow.
• INSIDER spoke with dermatologists and a nutritionist to find out what the best foods are for your skin.

There may be some truth to the saying you are what you eat — at least when it comes to your skin. In addition to getting plenty of sleep, managing stress, and wearing sunscreen, eating nutritious foods is key for maintaining healthy skin.

To find out what foods can improve your complexion, INSIDER spoke with Dr. Kathleen Suozzi, assistant professor of dermatology and director of aesthetic dermatology at Yale School of Medicine, dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper), and registered dietitian Lisa Moskovitz, the CEO and founder of The NY Nutrition Group.

In general, a diet of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats is the key to clear skin, as well as drinking plenty of water. It's also important to avoid anything that's going to dehydrate you, such as too much alcohol or caffeine, which can affect skin tone, color, and elasticity.

But what are some specific foods that give your skin a glow? Here's a list of foods that you should be eating if you want healthy skin.

1. Blueberries

Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, which Suozzi said have a lot of benefits in terms of skin health. They are also packed with vitamin C, which offers many benefits including protection from UV damage.

As Suozzi told INSIDER, Vitamin C protects against photodamage and photoaging of the skin from UV by "protecting against the effects of reactive oxygen species that are generated by UV and cause cellular damage to the skin."

2. Strawberries

Similar to blueberries, strawberries are also packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. They are also a great option to curb your sweet tooth because they're low in sugar, which Moskovitz said is the biggest culprit behind breakouts.

"You want to definitely keep a diet that keeps blood sugar stable," Moskovitz told INSIDER. "Any foods that will spike blood sugar tend to cause more inflammation and that inflammation can come to the top layer of your skin and promote more clogged pores that trap the bacteria and that leads to breakouts."

3. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are high in vitamin C and A, which are essential for healthy skin cell production, Suozzi said.

Vitamin A is also known as retinol, a common ingredient in anti-aging and acne products that promotes the production of collagen, Suozzi told INSIDER. Many "anti-aging" retinol products come with a hefty price tag, so it should come as good news that you can get the same benefits from simply eating tomatoes. 

When it comes to solid happy hour deals, we all have our go-to haunts: but convenient as they may be, standalone drinkeries will never be as glamorous as hotel bars and lounges were back in their prime.

As intimate, sophisticated, and romantic hotel bars can still be today, nothing will ever truly rival their glory days, when hotel bars were the place to see and be seen.

Bartenders dressed just as sharply as their patrons in the early 1900s — if not sharper.

Check out the crisp, matching uniforms the above five bartenders sported while tending to the St. Charles hotel bar's customers, way back in 1911.

And the level of hospitality and warmth you received from the staff was unparalleled.

Hotel bartenders treated you with consideration and care. And they would make you any drink you wanted.

Select bartenders gained high repute in social circles for their expert mixology and innovative drinks.

American barman Harry Craddock was one such server. Craddock, who is pictured above in June 1926, mixing a drink at the renowned American Bar of the Savoy Hotel in London, is the author of "The Savoy Cocktail Book" and credited for inventing such cocktails as the "Dry Martini" and the "White Lady."
