Eli J. Finkel, a professor at Northwestern University and the author of "The All-or-Nothing Marriage," explains three different ways you can strengthen your relationship.

Eli Finkel: What can we do to make our marriage a bit stronger? Well, the "All-or-Nothing Marriage" perspective that I introduce in the book suggests that we have three options. 

The first option is, we can say, "I really want this highly intensive sort of marriage, this extraordinary sort of marriage that is available today and I'm willing to work as much as it takes in order to make the marriage as strong as possible."  So that's extra time, that's extra attention to the relationship. 

But that's not the only option, right? It may be that we have to young kids at home, or we're dealing with a medical emergency, or it's a slow-burning crisis at work.

Are there other things we can do to strengthen the marriage? And the answer is yes, and I talk about two other options in the book. The first of which is, think about our partner's behavior in a different sort of way.

For example, your partner does something neglectful,  forgets your birthday, shows up late, doesn't call when he or she is supposed to call. There are various ways we can think about that behavior. One of which is, "My partner is a jerk."

And it turns out, research is clear on this point, that to the degree that you tend to be somebody who makes that sort of attribution or explanation for your partner's behavior, your marriage will struggle. 

Instead, you have options to say, "Well, my partner probably had a difficult day," or "It probably wasn't my partner's fault at all, there was probably a traffic accident that led to the traffic," right? And these sorts of explanations are much more benign and much more relationship-friendly.

There is a third option that I wish people would consider more seriously, which is, we can ask less. There is no rule that says you absolutely have to ask the following things of your marriage. And so, if you find yourself chronically disappointed in one element of your marriage, or in a subset of elements of your marriage, one of the really good ways to dealing with that is to think about, "Is it really essential that I try to meet this need in particular through the marriage?"

There may be some cases where you say, "Yes, absolutely. There's no way I would ever want to meet this need through another person or on my own." But there are many things we look to our partner to help us meet that we could just as easily look somewhere else.

And one of the best ways you can actually improve the marriage is to find those places of imbalance, find the places where the demands you are placing on the marriage are clearly exceeding the amount that the marriage can actually meet. Well, just take off some of the demands, especially in those cases.

• A California restaurant was caught selling Popeyes chicken as its own. 
• Angry customers flooded the restaurant's Yelp page.
• The owner says that she has been transparent about this, adding that outsourcing ingredients is common in the restaurant industry.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but one California restaurant, Sweet Dixie Kitchen, took it a step further by using actual Popeyes chicken in its dishes. 

The restaurant sells a fried chicken and biscuits dish for $12.95. It comes with chipotle syrup. 

Owner Kim Sanchez told Fox News that she's been transparent about the fact that her restaurant sources chicken tenders from the fast-food chain, but one patron wasn't impressed.

In an October 9 Yelp review, Tyler H. wrote, "If you think Popeyes serves the best fried chicken then you really don't know what you're talking about."

He added that he thought Sweet Dixie Kitchen was not being forthright about its ingredients, saying, "I challenge you to be honest with your customers ... put it on your menu that you 'proudly' serve Popeyes chicken. You do this for coffee ... why not for Popeyes chicken?"

Sweet Dixie Kitchen's Yelp page has since been flooded with negative reviews.

Sanchez responded to the review in a since-deleted Facebook post, writing, "We always have said where we get the things we don’t make here- who ever is claiming we didn’t isn’t being honest. And we have never claimed we make each and every item...The yelp person was not only told where we source our chicken from, when he said he didn’t like it, we bought his meal." 

You can read the full post below:

"The owner of Sweet Dixie has a message to share with all our customers.On our menu- roughly 95% is house made- starting with a potato lets say- which we cut, season and cook- and make potato salad. We make quiche- as in crack each egg and measure spices and cream, and I put it in a pie crust that was made elsewhere (isn’t made here) We use the best product I can buy to make the items on the menu- some of them again, come from other companies, vendors, establishments just like any other place you eat at. Because that’s how the chicken works too. We use a ready made chicken – and always have – even before we decided to go with a certain chain as opposed to a food distributor brand fried chicken.Your local coffee place in Long Beach maybe selling you (does sell actually) Rossmore pastry or Babettes pastry and breads you had that lunch sandwich on and if you ask where it comes from they tell you- but it isn’t on their menu. We have sold biscuits to places and those places used them as their ‘made from scratch’ biscuits. Integrity- despite this wave of ‘Popeyegate’, is what my food is about – no matter what you want to say. I outsource very few items. Outsourcing is when a restaurant brings in a fully cooked or ready made product which if you count all the frozen things Sysco provides to pop in an oven and serve, is alot. The things we say we make from scratch, we do and that is most of what we serve. We always have said where we get the things we don’t make here- who ever is claiming we didn’t isn’t being honest. And we have never claimed we make each and every item. We do use some ready to go products as ingredients for items on our menu.The yelp person was not only told where we source our chicken from, when he said he didn’t like it, we bought his meal. As for ‘plastering it on the menu’, we don’t, just like every other place you eat – that doesn’t mean it isn’t transparent- we don’t list the ready made Kielbasa or hot links or puff pastry or pie shells or baguette- I could go on – because we bring the items in- ready made- and then use them as ingredients in a dish – like the chicken – and make something that is then made here – an original dish we thought up- like the chicken slider with a head of cabbage we grated to make the wasabi cole slaw and the raw tomatoes we cooked down for 3 hours to make the tomato jam and flour that went into a mixer and became a biscuit and the chicken we bring in to put with all that.And we charge for the ingredients and labor that goes into that dish. We will continue our business the same way we have always done- honest that we make nearly all from scratch, saying what we do make from scratch, and when we can’t, we will use the second best thing available to us. And we will be glad to let you know which is which- just like we always have."

NOW WATCH: Here's why this wine costs $16,000 per bottle

• Arby's is selling a sandwich made with deer meat for one day, Saturday, October 21. 
• The chain tested the venison sandwich in five states last year. 
• Arby's is also testing an elk meat sandwich in three locations on Saturday. 

Arby's is selling a sandwich made with deer meat for just one day.

On Saturday, Arby's locations across the US will sell a limited-edition venison sandwich. The sandwich, which will cost $7, is made with thick-cut venison and crispy onions, and topped with a juniper berry sauce. 

The venison sandwich will only be available while supplies last. Arby's said it is expected to sell out quickly, so check when your local store opens and arrive early if you want to be sure to get one. 

Arby's is also testing an elk sandwich in three restaurants in Thornton, Colorado, Casper, Wyoming, and Billings, Montana. 

Last year, Arby's served the venison sandwich in five states in an effort to win over the more than 20 million hunters in America. 

"The positive response to our limited offering of venison last year was so widespread and passionate that we knew we had to find a way to offer it nationwide," Jim Taylor, chief marketing officer of Arby's Restaurant Group, said in a statement.

NOW WATCH: We tried Jollibee — the Filipino fast-food restaurant with thousands of locations around the world

Meet Nugzilla, Europe's biggest chicken nugget.

It was created by the team at Rub Smokehouse in Birmingham. It is 6,000 calories, weighs 1kg, and is the equivalent of 85 normal sized nuggets.

It costs 29.95 but if you manage to finish it under 10 minutes then you can have it for free. However, only two people have managed to achieve the feet. 

The restaurant has challenged 9 time Olympic gold medalist and world's fastest man Usain Bolt to eat the Nugzilla.

Deputy manager Jojo Fernandes said; "Usain Bolt's favourite food is chicken nuggets. As this is 85 chicken nuggets we would love to see if he can come down to our restaurant and give it a go."

Could you take on Nugzilla?

• We went to the Queen's very own McDonald's and it's one of the poshest we've seen.
• Her Majesty travelled up with us on the train and joined us for a very English breakfast.
• Customers were blissfully ignorant that they were scoffing Big Macs on the Queen's land.
  
  

  ---

As Britain's head of state, Queen Elizabeth II owns a lot of land. Her £13 billion ($17 billion) property empire includes iconic race courses, grand hotels, historic castles, and even an offshore energy portfolio.

She also happens to own a franchise of McDonald's in Oxfordshire. Well, sort of. The McDonald's at the Banbury Gateway Shopping Park sits on land that forms part of the Crown Estate.

It's not the first time the fast food giant has been on the Queen's turf. She used to own a branch on the Bath Road Retail Park in Slough before selling the land last year for £177 million. But the Banbury branch, which opened in 2015, is definitely hers.

Naturally, Business Insider went to investigate...

We made the 80-mile journey out of London to take Her Majesty for breakfast. What we found was a McDonald's fit for a Queen, stuffed full of the fanciest mod-cons the chain has to offer.

First, we caught a train from Marylebone station to Banbury in Oxfordshire. In total, the journey took two hours via two trains, two tubes, and a bus.

Her Majesty came for the ride. Sadly, we couldn't stretch to first class, but she perked up once we reached our destination.

Inside, it immediately felt different to most McDonald's. There were leather sofas and booth-like seats, laminate floors, and white Eames chairs. Beats benches and swivel stools.

Customers are greeted by digital menu boards, while free Samsung tablets sit on some tables. So even the Queen can send a tweet or two.

If Samsung's not your thing, there's free WiFi and air charging ports.

There was also table service. So once you've picked and paid for your food you can just chill out and soak up the ambience.

To mark the occasion, we decided to order a royally British breakfast consisting of a bacon butty, hash brown, and cup of tea...

...all eaten under Her Majesty's watchful eye, of course.

The manager and franchise owner declined to comment, but were aware that the branch is part of the Crown Estate. We also spoke to customers, who were blissfully ignorant that they were scoffing Big Macs on the Queen's land.

So now the secret's out, next time you're in Banbury McDonald's remember to raise a glass and toast the Queen.

Cheers!

NOW WATCH: Mt. Everest is not the hardest mountain to climb — here's what makes K2 so much worse

• Wasps and England star James Haskell eats 3,500 calories a day.
• Breakfast is his favourite meal and involves a protein shake, porridge, egg whites, and toast
• He told Business Insider he hasn't had a cheat day in eight weeks.

32-year-old James Haskell is a rugby powerhouse.

Currently playing for Wasps in the Aviva Premiership and internationally for England, Haskell has an insane training schedule — and a 3,500-calorie-a-day diet to match it.

Speaking to Business Insider at an event held by peanut butter brand Meridian — for which Haskell is an ambassador (and big fan) — the Windsor-born athlete said he's currently trying to hit 9% body fat and 117kg. While that's currently his weight, he said he's closer to 11% body fat.

"Last year, I was a bit heavier, and I was probably eating about 4,000 calories," he said. "I’m just constantly on that kind of cusp of being slightly in deficit at the moment."

And he's incredibly committed. He said he hasn't even had a cheat day in eight weeks. Yes, that's two entire months without one unhealthy day.

Here's everything Haskell eats and drinks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and in between.

Breakfast.

Haskell told Business Insider he starts his day at 7 a.m.

"First thing on my agenda is always hydration," he said, adding that he puts a hydration tablet into his two-litre water bottle. 

"At the moment, because we have to be in the club a bit earlier, I end up having an Actimel, [and] I make myself a couple of coffees to go on the way," he said. He added that breakfast is his favourite meal of the day.

"My girlfriend makes me a protein shake which is protein powder, greens powder, a banana, oats, Meridian nut butter, and then [she] makes me some oats — some porridge oats, some more nut butter, and something called Choc Shot which is a calorie-free fake chocolate thing.

"I take all of that in the car, drink it in the car, get to training, and then I have four egg whites and two pieces of toast. Depending on how I feel maybe some more porridge, but probably not."

Lunch.

After training, it's lunchtime. Haskell said the team has on site, but he usually has 200g of fish, 200g of brown rice, 200g of green vegetables, and "a load of water."

"I train again in the afternoon, have a protein shake once I’ve finished training, go home, and have another meal," he said. This often involves chicken and jalapenos with more brown rice, along with more water. 

"I probably drink about eight litres of water a day," he said.

Dinner.

"I’ll have dinner later on in the evening," he said. While this is often something similar to his lunch, he added: "The other night I had 5% oven cooked chips — there’s no fat in them — and some breaded fish."

However, he still wasn't satisfied. "I ended up having a protein mug cake," he said. "My girlfriend makes it — it’s got protein powder and nut butter in a mug or a container with a bit of almond milk."

"And that’s me done — about 3,500 calories a day."

Consistency is key.

Even on a match day, Haskell said he tries to stay "very consistent as opposed to doing a carb cycle or adding more carbs," he said. "My whole week looks exactly the same.

"The only thing that might change slightly is after a game, while I won’t drink in the week at all, I may have a couple of glasses of red wine," he added, joking: "Especially as Wasps are losing at the moment."

However, he isn't too fussed about the timing of his meals.

"The most important thing for me is to be hitting my macro count," he said. "I would say make sure you eat [at least an] hour before training to digest, but always fuel your training." He added that post-training hydration and refueling are also crucial.

He doesn't believe in cheat days.

"I haven’t had a cheat day in eight weeks," Haskell said. "But the thing for me is that I get to eat a lot of carbs anyway because of what I do. There's a distinct difference between trying to get in unbelievable shape and being a performance athlete. I’m able to have calories, [because] I need to fuel what I’m doing, I need to fuel my recovery.

"I just haven’t had a cheat day because I like the dedication, focus until I see the results, I don't want to do that.

"In the past, I would let my hair down and have a pizza and stuff, but at the moment I’m trying my best to stay in really good shape so I’m not even doing that."

After Foster Huntington left his corporate job in Manhattan, he spent three years living in a van.

He traveled the US, backpacking, surfing, and connecting with a nomadic community who'd left their own stationary lives behind for something different.

In his fourth book, "Van Life: Your Home on the Road," Huntington gathers photos from the community, and interviews some of its members to learn more about their lives — and their vans.

Here, see 12 of the photos featured in Huntington's dreamy depiction of van life, a world unto itself.

Foster Huntington is credited with creating the viral hashtag #vanlife, which people use to showcase minimalist lives based in vans, constantly on the move.

The pictures generally depict a lifestyle punctuated by dawn yoga on the beach and clear desert nights stargazing through the sunroof.

"I knew that I wanted to have this book be really authentic stories," Huntington told Business Insider. "I wanted it to be an expanded perspective that wasn't just mine."

What do you picture when you imagine a hedge-fund office? A noisy trading floor full of hedge-fund guys in fleece vests?

Two Sigma, a $45 billion hedge-fund firm that uses advanced technologies to find investment opportunities, is a little different. The firm, which says it has seen head count grow by more than 400% in the past seven years, is as much a technology company as it is a finance company, analyzing over 10,000 data sources to find patterns in markets.

That approach seems to have paid off. Two Sigma ranked as the fifth-biggest hedge fund in the world in Institutional Investor's Alpha's 2017 Hedge Fund 100 list, while cofounders David Siegel and John Overdeck each made $750 million last year, according to the magazine's list of the top-earning hedge-fund managers. The firm also runs an insurance business, Two Sigma Insurance Quantified, a market-making arm called Two Sigma Securities, and a venture-capital arm.

In August, Business Insider took a tour of the firm's two New York offices, which are across the road from each other in the SoHo neighborhood. The offices are stashed with arcade games, computing memorabilia, gyms, a hacker space, and a music room.

• The world's largest cities, called megacities, have more than 10 million residents. 
• By 2030 the UN predicts there will be 41 megacities, up from 31 now.
• Finding affordable housing can be a challenge in large cities.
  

In 1975, just three of the world's urban centers — Tokyo, New York, and Mexico City — had more than 10 million residents.

Now, about 7% of people live in cities with eight-figure populations, according to the United Nations. They even have a special name: megacities.

The UN projects the global number of megacities to grow from 31 to 41 by 2030, housing some 8.7% of the global population.

Tokyo, Japan, is the largest city in the world with 38 million residents. That's about 12 million more people than New Delhi, India, the second-largest. Although Tokyo is projected to lose approximately 1 million residents by 2030, it's expected to remain the top megacity, according to the UN.

But with rapidly increasing populations, many of these urban centers face major housing shortages. By 2025, 1.6 billion people could struggle to find decent housing that doesn't eat up more than 30% of their income, the standard measure of housing affordability, according to a report by McKinsey. Ultimately, there could be 106 million more low-income households in cities by 2025.

Below is a list of the 10 largest megacities in the world. For each, we've included population in 1975, population projections for 2030, GDP per capita, and the cost of monthly rent and utilities in the city.

• In 2015, Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer decided to eliminate tipping at his restaurants.
• He hoped that the policy would give employees higher and more stable wages.
• The experiment has reportedly decreased wages and increased turnover, according to current and former employees.

Danny Meyer doesn't like tipping. He has said that the practice lets restaurants get away with paying servers insufficient wages, and in January, he called it "one of the biggest hoaxes pulled on [American] culture."

In 2015, Meyer, who also owns Shake Shack, decided to eliminate tipping at restaurants in his Union Square Hospitality Group — which includes Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, and The Modern — and raise prices in an attempt to give his employees more stable and equitable wages. 

While the policy has not been implemented at all of his restaurants yet, those that have removed tips have experienced some turmoil, according to Grubstreet, which interviewed current and former employees of Meyer's restaurants. Some say that the policy has resulted in lower wages and higher turnover.

While many employees continue to appreciate the generous benefits and flexible scheduling that the restaurants provide, even some of Meyer's most loyal employees said they couldn't afford to live with lower pay. After working at Union Square Cafe for over three years, Danielle Carroll quit just two months after she stopped receiving tips.

"That place was my New York home and the way I made my living, and it's no longer a sustainable place to do that," she told Grubstreet.

Since Maialino eliminated tips in 2016, nearly all of its front-of-house employees have reportedly quit and been replaced twice. North End Grill, Gramercy Tavern, and Union Square Cafe have faced similar rates of turnover.

Many of these problems stem from Meyer's insistence that employees would take home pay that was equal or greater to what they received with tips. But this prediction relied on stable business across his restaurants, a forecast that has not held.

Current and former servers at Gramercy Tavern and Maialino said they took home around $100 less per week than they had with tips. One Union Square Cafe employee reported a $10,000 annual decrease in pay.

Some have benefitted from the no-tip experiment, including entry-level cooks, who have seen hourly wages increase from around $11 to $13, but most employees are waiting for it to pay off.

Still, many remain hopeful and recognize that, while the intentions behind Meyer's decision are noble, it may take time for them to produce their desired effect. Whatever the result, Meyer's decision to eliminate tips will likely have a profound effect on the restaurant industry.

Union Square Hospitality Group did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

WeWork — now the most valuable startup in New York City— continues to grow.

After raising $4.4 billion in funding from SoftBank Group and SoftBank Vision Fund in August, the new-age real estate firm just branched out into fitness with its first gym and wellness center, located at the WeWork FiDi facility in Manhattan.

The new center, called Rise by We, is open to both existing WeWork members and non-members. For those who are not already part of the WeWork system, a Rise by We membership provides access to WeWork's digital member network, plus two credits per month to book conference rooms or workspace in select WeWork locations. Prices start at $100 for four visits a month and go up to $180 for an unlimited number of visits.

Take a look at what the new studio spaces have to offer.

Rise by We is located at 85 Broad Street in Manhattan. On weekdays, it opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. On the weekends, its hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The gym's pink-and-black color scheme, along with its wall art and wood-panel accent walls, create a relaxed atmosphere that's unlike most fitness centers.

The general workout space, called "Turf," has all the essentials: kettlebells, free weights, sleds, and ropes.

• The Honda Odyssey is the superior minivan.
• But the Toyota Sienna is an aging design due for an update.
• For many consumers, the choice between these minvans is the only one they'll make — the Chrysler Pacifica isn't in the picture.

It's one of the longest-running competitions in the automotive world. Not Ferrari vs. Lamborghini or Ford vs. Chevy.

Nope, it's the Honda Odyssey minivan versus its fellow Japanese counterpart, the Toyota Sienna (for the record, both vehicles, popular with Americans, are made in the USA).

We've reviewed both minivans, and we put them up against the other family hauler in the market, the superb Chrysler Pacifica, the only minivan in the US market that's available as a hybrid.

Now we're going to stand back and watch as the Odyssey and the Sienna duke it out.

SEE ALSO: FOLLOW US on Facebook for more car and transportation content!

Let's start with the Sienna and a caveat: this 2017 model is the third-generation, which has been around since 2010. It's looking aged next to the Odyssey.

DESIGN: No one will call the Sienna exciting. It's a somewhat shapely rectangle with sliding door, a sloping front, and four wheels at the corners.

It is, in the final analysis, a visually bland machine that doesn't try to hide its mission in life: to haul people and stuff.

When Disney River Country opened in 1976, visitors flocked to Orange County, Florida, to ride the winding slides and traverse the wooden bridges.

The park closed down 25 years later. After leaving the park empty and abandoned for 15 years, Disney finally drained and filled River Country's 330,000-gallon pool in 2016.

As the Orlando Sentinel reported, the Upstream Plunge pool was filled with concrete, since standing water can attract mosquitoes — a growing concern because of the Zika virus. Disney said that the work was not related to Zika and that it didn't plan to reopen the long-closed park, the rest of which is still decaying.

A Cleveland-based photographer who works under the pseudonym Seph Lawless documented the abandoned park in his photo series "Dismaland." (This is also the name of Banksy's 2015 art exhibition, a fake apocalyptic theme park near Bristol, England.)

Lawless captured ghostly portraits of the once busy attraction. Take a look.

Pink is at the top of her game.

The 38-year-old pop star will release her seventh studio album, "Beautiful Trauma," on Friday, October 13. She is preparing for a 40-date North American arena tour kicking off in March 2018.

In August, she was presented with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award at the MTV Music awards, a title shared among entertainment greats like the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Beyoncé.

This week, Pink will make her third appearance on Saturday Night Live as the show's musical guest.

With nearly two decades of stardom under her belt, earning countless accolades and millions of dollars from hit albums and sold-out tours, Pink seems to have one thing many artists and bands can't quite master: Staying power.

Here's what we know about how Pink built a nine-figure net worth and spends her fortune:

It's been 17 years since Pink — whose birth name is Alecia Beth Moore — released her first studio album, "Can't Take Me Home." That year, she took home the award for female new artist of the year at the Billboard Music Awards. Since then, she's amassed an estimated fortune of $110 million.

Pink has sold more than 16 million albums and minted four No. 1 Billboard hits. She's had 11 songs in the top 10 and released a single every year (except one) since 2000. "She doesn't disappear for five years," Tom Poleman, the chief programming officer for iHeartMedia, told the New York Times. "She always stays in the forefront, so people have been able to move and grow with her."

For just the third time in nearly a century, the enormous Salutation Island has hit the market. For $125 million, you'd own the island's six homes and over 85 acres of land and water, according to Bloomberg.

The estate is located on the North Shore of Long Island and was first owned by J.P. Morgan's grandson, Junius Spencer Morgan III. Its most recent owner was socialite and real estate broker Margo Walker.

Nearly 17 years ago, an episode of "The Simpsons" predicted that Donald Trump would one day become US president.

And this wasn't the only time the writers have managed to predict the future.

"The Simpsons" has been running for over 27 years, so it's inevitable that some themes that crop up in the show might occur in real life. But some of the plotlines are eerily close to events that have happened throughout the world.

We've listed some of the strangest predictions the cartoon's writers have made since the show's launch in 1989.

From Homer discovering the Higgs boson to animators drawing The Shard in London almost 20 years before it was built.

Here are 15 times "The Simpsons" predicted the future:

In 2012, Lady Gaga performed for the town of Springfield hanging in midair. Five years later, she flew off the Houston NRG Stadium roof in real life to perform her Super Bowl halftime show. 

Anyone who saw the documentary or Broadway play would likely balk at living in the actual home that "Grey Gardens" inspired. After all, the home was in poor shape during the filming of the documentary, and it's even rumored to be haunted.

But eight months after being put onto the market, the home has finally found a buyer, the Washington Post reported. It was originally listed for just shy of $20 million in February, though that price was reduced to $17.995 million in April. 

The East Hampton, New York, mansion now looks nothing like it did in the 1975 documentary showcasing the lives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' ex-socialite relatives. 

Journalist and author Sally Quinn purchased the mansion with her husband, the late Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, for $220,000 in 1979. They completely rehabilitated it to the current splendor that it now shows, according to The New York Times.

Quinn would not diclose the name of the buyer or what he or she paid, though she told the Post that this individual "really understands the house." She added that she will be holding an estate sale of many of the home's furniture pieces, including things she found when she first bought the house.

The Corcoran Group had the listing.

No one has more insider knowledge about flying than airline workers.

To unearth 14 lesser-known facts about flying, Business Insider surveyed more than 80 airline workers including flight attendants, gate agents, ticket agents, and other airport customer service reps and scoured the web including Reddit and Quora for more.

Whether you want more attentive service or to avoid getting kicked off your flight, read on for the inside scoop:

You can't physically open a door mid-flight — though trying could get you kicked off the plane

Annette Long, a flight attendant with 13 years of experience, tells Business Insider that, though opening a door mid-flight is impossible to do, trying it will still get you into trouble. As we've seen in previous incidents, passengers who try to make a jump for it while the plane is in the air usually wind up restrained mid-flight and in handcuffs once the plane lands. In some cases, pilots will make an emergency landing to get the passenger off the flight.

"I don't make those decisions," Long says. "I convey the information to the cockpit and the chief flight attendant, and they make the decision about whether or not we're going to land and get someone off the plane.

"Most of the pilots say to us, 'If you've got a problem with them, I've got a problem with them,' and they will back us up 100%," Long says.

Airplanes aren't nearly as clean as they might look

As Business Insider previously reported, microbiologists have found tray tables to be the least hygienic surface on an airplane.

As one flight attendant writes on Reddit, people change their babies' diapers on their tray tables all the time. And then, not every tray table gets wiped thoroughly between each flight. 

What's more, "remember, they're using a rag to start row one, and when they end up in row 35, that rag has wiped a lot of tables," Long says.

The flight attendant writing on Reddit also says that many unsanitary incidents occur on the plane that passengers rarely see or consider, like accidents in the lavatory or a passenger's seat. "Just so you know, when you go to the bathroom and you're barefoot or you're in your socks, that's not water on the floor," Long says.

"It's just not the cleanest environment," she says.

You can bring your e-cigs, but the plane won't take off with a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on board

A few exploding items have been banned from airplanes in recent years, though some not in their entirety.

Last March, a Delta Air Lines flight was delayed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after an e-cigarette belonging to a passenger ignited on board the flight.

But while the lithium ion batteries in e-cigarettes have shown a propensity to ignite if they are damaged, battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices are permitted on planes as long as they're not checked or being used.

Your exploding Galaxy Note 7, however, is a different story. These smartphone devices are completely banned by the Department of Transportation from air transportation to, from, or in the US.
