Shmeng of the Week: I am not a bird. |
Posted by

Flying. or airports. or airport delays. or TURBULANCE. or storms while you are flying. or smelly people on the plane. or the fact that no matter where you are on the plane, the smelly people's smell gets blown right in your face. or when you hear a sound like something smacking the side of the plane and you're sure it must be part of the engine.
I never really had a problem with flying - but either I've gotten less tolerant or the whole deal just sucks! I have been thinking about going to Europe this Fall - but each time I fly it feels less worth it.I may be a superhero - but the whole flying in a tin can thing just isn't working for me.

Note: I got in this morning from New York City. I flew from NYC to St. Louis and then from St. Louis to Seattle. Turbulance from hell, I couldn't get a drink to save my life, AND they didn't feed us. |

I think being in a hunk of metal hurtling through the air, filled with stinky people has always sucked to some extent or other. The worst i've experienced with that was when my flight from San Diego to Kansas City was delayed for eight hours, and I was stuck with my mom and little sister in the airport, waiting on our flight, dealing with the nagging and whining. Finally our plane came, and my family was separated on the plane(which I promptly thanked every god ever invented for), but my mom and sister were heavily griping about. I was seated between two giant people with severe halitosis, and just as we got to the point that the plane was supposed to take off, they had technical difficulties and had to restart the entire process a total of four times. In addition to the 3 hour flight already scheduled was 2 hours of going back and forth from the loading area to the beginning of the runway, and they seemed to think that giving us a few peanuts was going to fix everything.
I suppose if I was flying to somewhere even remotely exciting it would've been worth it. I have a feeling that your possible trip to Europe would be worth whatever shmeng you'd have to deal with on the plane or in the airport.
