Well then that wasn't you sitting next to me then on the flight back from Charlotte the other day. I hate it when people ooze out of their seat into my personal space. Especially on a full flight. If they're on the aisle, and I have to reach across to get drinks and what not, I make sure to order several, and spill liberally.
Tell me about it. I used to love to fly, now I can't stand it anymore. Flight delays (1.5 and 2 hours) in both directions, the airlines cram the planes to capacity so there's never any room to spread out, and there's always someone who feels the need to tell everyone within thirty feet their entire life story. Loudly. Funny thing happened last time I flew. Plane is announced as full, and some old crotchety guy, like one of the dudes from Grumpy old men, but not nearly as funny, is in my seat. So gently explain to him he's in my seat, show him my ticket, and he blows a gasket, and gets pretty nasty. "I'm not getting up, I'm settled in, blah, blah blah." The stewardess comes over, and was going to get him to move, and I tell her it's all good, just find out where he was supposed to sit, I'll move there. And I do. Then, 30 seconds later, in the two seats next to him, sit a mother and her 3 month old screaming infant, which with the new seating arrangements, was a sonically comfortable 12 rows or so away from me now... He turns around demanding his original seat, and I just smiled and said "No thanks, I'm good"... Stewardess was laughing so hard I thought she might break something. Kid screamed the entire flight, without me needing to come over and pinch him, which I would've the second he dropped below 100 decibels. God bless him. I love poetic justice.
I fly every week for business.....I periodically look in the mirror to see if I LOOK like a head of cattle!!
Way to go Nathan! With all you have been through and to have accomplished what you have! YOU ARE THE MAN!!! And on a side not I love to fly. The flight always leaves when I want. The seats are sheep skin covered and roomy and I have a great view. :devil:
..... and only in one seat? :lol: :lol: :rolleyes5: Sorry Nate that was just too easy to pass up. You can punch me in the arm at the Dragon. Have a safe trip and enjoy your weekend in the warmth.
Only issue is we go where the company sends us.... Not where we WANT to go... That being said, I can't wait to get back in the seat....sucks working for a living!! I'd trade a ton of bs just to be flying again, ice, thunderstorms, traffic, etc...
I was going to throw in an irreverent comment about sheep here, but I'm afraid it may be interpreted inappropriately. Especially since a few people here are rumored to still be dating an ewe on occasion. Not that there's anything wrong with that, at least in certain parts of the Appalachians.

Why on the plane you ask... My nephew, seen here in the center with the yellow shirt, just turned 7 I had them stick out their tongues for this group shop. I tried to get them all to chew on a cookie then open their mouths for another picture. My sister-in-law put the kibosh on that one...grrrr...
