Complaining about air travel
Monday, April 9th, 2007Well, some people just make me nervous… like people who wear black pants and leather jackets, walk into the plane, sit down, and have this tense forehead and just look downright antisocial. AFAIK it’s just etiquette to at least say a simple “hi” or nod politely before you take your seat next to someone. Most people do. It makes people comfortable. Others just stare at you, stare at random parts of the aircraft, and have the tense wrinkles on their forehead. They just look sketchy.
Yeah, those darn kids with their black pants and leather jackets, not saying hi to strangers on the plane and staring at random parts of the aircraft. It’s even worse when they wear dark glasses on the plane and listen to music on their “I-Pod”. You know, I actually sat on a plane next to nice people who said hi and smiled at me and let me past them to go use the bathroom. Bastards stole my phone.
Honestly, I’ve heard lots of complaints about air travel. Screaming kids, depressurized cabins, being groped by airport security, flight delays and cancellations, 2 hour layovers, 20 hour layovers, 20 hour flights, bad food, having to taste your own breast milk to prove it isn’t a bomb, loud engines, claustrophobia, I’ve heard it all. Many of these are legitimate complaints. Which makes it all the more puzzling why black pants and leather jackets figure so heavily into this guy’s fear level.
