Airplanes

You know, I love traveling by airplane. First you get to hunt around online to find the best deal (which in most cases takes days to months). Then you get to try and pack a butt load of closes into a very small bag so that you don't have to check your bag and then wait with the masses and watch people grab your bag because it looks like theirs.

Then you get to find a ride to the airport because parking cost about as much as the ticket itself, and arrive at least an hour early. Over the next five minutes you'll stand in line between a large man with sweaty pits and a woman with WAY too much perfume while you strip off items of clothing and are poked and prodded.

Then you get to get re-dressed and carry your bag to the very end of the terminal because if you hunted for months for the best price, you are most likely flying southwest. Once you arrive at your terminal, with 45 min to spare, you think, "well at least i can sit down and rest for a little bit." But you would be mistaken because as soon as the plane arrives, everyone stands up and pushes themselves into boarding groups one and two, even though it will take 30 minutes for the current passengers to unload and for the flight attendants (don't call them stewardess or they will duct tape you to the wing) to do a quick clean.

So you find yourself standing in a line once again between the sweaty guy and the stinky lady, waiting to board a plane for a trip your not sure you still want to take.

Finally, they wave you in, and you rush to the emergency exit row so you can enjoy the extra 5 inches of leg room. As you sit back with your set belt on and your tray table in its upright and locked position, with your luggage safely stored in the overhead compartment on under the set in front of you, you prepare yourself for your hopefully short flight.

But before you know it, here comes the very large man with the sweaty pits who squeezes his way into the seat right next to you even though it is not a full flight and there are plenty of available seats. So you quietly open your bag, pull out your laptop and turn it on. You then take a deep breath while looking at the ceiling, close your eyes and then open this site
