Not so funny....

So, here is my soapbox for the week. If you are sitting in an airplane seat next to someone and they are asleep - do NOT wake them up when the flight attendant comes by with drinks. I repeat, DO NOT wake the person up!!!!!!!! I know you mean well, but the person is sleeping for a reason!! If said sleeping person wants a beverage when they wake up, said person can ring the call button!! Also, another helpful hint for you - if you have to poke the sleeping person more than once, he or she does not want to be bothered. Do NOT keep poking them!!!!

While I am on my rant, one other issue. Crying babies - if your baby keeps screaming at the top of his/her lungs for an ENTIRE flight, you may want to think about alternative modes of transportation. The other 200 people on board don't want to spend 3 hours listening to that!!  Now, before you get mad at me, I traveled many years and many times with my kids when they were babies. I never allowed my kids to act like that for more than a couple of minutes. Maybe I lucked out with great kids, I don't know, but for the love of god, please find a way to quiet them down!! 

The kid thing has happened on every flight of mine this week so far, and as I type his, there is one more screaming in the waiting area.  It may be a perfect record this week!!!

Not so funny thing...

So I've only been scared twice while flying........until today. Make it three times now!!!! I normally don't freak out during rough turbulence, but when I see the flight attendant freaking out, I freak out!!! Anyone flying into ORD today, beware, it may be VERY rough on the decent in!!!!!!!

White Girls with Cornrows??

What is it with white girls with cornrows on this flight??? EVERY young girl under 20 on this flight has cornrows!!! I AM headed to Seattle, so it must be a treehugger thing!!! Oh yeah, I also don't think any of these treehuggers use soap when/if they bathe!!!!!

2013 - Are you ready for it?

Not traveling for a few weeks kind of slows this blog down a bit, but be prepared, the travel resumes this week........stay tuned!!!

Sorta kinda maybe ish...

Can someone please tell me what "kinda medium well-ish" means? Someone in the restaurant just made a big deal that her steak needs to be cooked this way

FINALLY - Some Honesty in this world!!

Getting off of the plane in Phoenix tonight, the lady sitting next to me wanted to get off of the plane right away. Since I was sitting on the aisle, she wanted to go before me. No problem I thought, she must have a right connection. As soon as she stepped in front of me, she says that she just REALLY needs a beer and wants to get to the bar!!!! I love it - at least she was honest!!!

United Sucks United Sucks United Sucks!!!!!

Not only is their customer service well below subpar (legacy United employees, not legacy Continental employees,) their customer complaint site is down. Now I have two complaints - customer service sucks AND now I can't even complain about it!!!!

My Internal Struggle for the Morning......

To tell the woman sitting behind me that her body odor is so bad, that people are nearly gagging. I'm not exaggerating either. The girl next to me has her hand over her nose and mouth. Should I say something to this woman or not???? I'll decide before the end of the flight

Update: decided not to say anything, but seriously, how could you NOT smell yourself?!?!

PLEASE use the restroom........

So a few weeks ago I land in Dallas and am headed to the rental car counter.  In Dallas, a common shuttle takes you to a rental car center where all of the rental car companies are located, so the shuttle is usually packed.  This particular day, it was REALLY packed.  As I'm standing crammed on the shuttle like a sardine, I start to notice a very bad smell - one that literally smelled like crap. As we get closer to the rental car center, the smell gets worse - almost sickening.  As everyone exits the shuttle, very happy to get off I mind you, I notice a guy walking funny.  As I look closer at his khaki pants, I notice a very large wet spot on the back side of his pants and it goes down one leg.  I just figured out what the smell was!!!!!! Apparently this guy sharted in his pants - if you don't know what a shart is, feel free to ask. All guys will know for sure! To make matters worse, he keeps picking at his rear like he has a wedgie.  The bigger problem though, is that he DOESN'T go straight to the restroom - he gets on the phone in the lobby!!!

Just so you know, not all my blogs will be this gross.....I actually felt bad for the guy!!

Welcome!!

So I decided to create a blog to detail the funny things that I have witnessed while traveling.  I travel quite a bit for work and there is always an abundance of crazy things that I seem to see happen.  To help alleviate the insanity, I decided to start writing them all down, so that when I am old and develop CRS, I can read about all of the interesting things I have seen.

No worries, this will NOT be a daily chronicle of my life - I don't have time to write all of that down.  Rather, I will post things here during the week when I have time or when I get home from each trip.  If I don't witness anything interesting, there won't be a post that week.  Enjoy!!
