so, I just had a terrible flight

[Sarky Devotchka]

from las vegas to chicago. I was sitting in the middle of a church choir group coming back from a performance. There was a lot of yelling and singing. Like, inside jokes, hand gestures, dancing, AND TONS OF YELLING! also, the lady next to me was very fat and her leg kept touching my leg. but the lady on the other side of her was even fatter and had to have seat belt extender slipped to her on the sly because she didn't have her belt fastened and the steward was like, "you have to fasten your belt" and she said, "I'm too fat" and so he came back with the extender.

here's an all caps summary of the sounds and topics:

STOP THE PLANE! I LEFT MY CELL PHONE IN THE HOTEL! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! MOVE THIS PLANE OUT OF THE SUN, CHOCOLATE MELTS! WOOOOO HOOOO! HEY WHITE CHOCOLATE MELTS TOO! HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THANKYAVERRAMUCH! CHI CHI CHI CHI CHIIIIII CHICAGOOOOOOOO! NO REHEARSAL UNTIL NEXT MONDAY! TELL TRINA! NUH UH! NUH UH! NUH UH! WE ALL CHRISTIANS! HEY GUYS HEY GUYS HEY GUYS HEY GUYS! HALLELUIAH!

and an Indian girl talking in a pronounced Indian accent (her real accent was american) saying, "would you like a jelly donut?" and "thank you, come again" to make people laugh. and black people mocking the way white people talk and white people trying to pretend like they down.


I nearly jumped.

Yeah, sometimes you nearly wish some badass terrorist would really hijack your plane. Happened to me on a flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, with about 30 forty-years old german guys, they were so drunk that they kept shouting and some moron even puked in the central lane :mad:
I was ready for some throat cutting action, at one moment I thought that a hostess was really about to kill one of them :)

Wooooaah, that reminds me...

I've been to Las Vegas in 2002 and my husband and we booked one of
those Grand-Canyon-Flight-Trip in a small airplane. I would have liked
it a lot, but there was one guy who seemed to have a real fear of flying
and I still don't know why the fuck he had to do this tour.

Well, about 5 minutes after the take-off he got really white and put his
head down (instead of focusing the wing for example). And another 5
minutes later he started puking and dind't stop until we landed 1:30 h
later. It was sooooooooo disgusting as he sat right behind my husband
acroos the aisle. The whole plane smelled terrible and you can imagine
the sounds. About 5 other people started puking just because of this guy
and it was the worst thing I could imagine as I'm really!!! puke-o-phobic.
This guy filled at least two of his barf-bags. And I was really afraid he
would not be able to hold them tight while we landed. Thank god he did!
But then everybody had to get past him because he refused to get out.

So, don't go and waste your money on a trip like that if you are, like me,
a puke-o-phobic :(

ahahahahah, seat belt extender!
thats the funniest thing ive ever heard.
did she have to buy a whole row of seats?

I love travel stories.

I've got one where a guy hocked a loogie on the back of my neck during a particularly steep takeoff. I climbed to the bathroom rather than sit there and let the thing dry. The flight attendant was upset but otherwise, I probably would have spit on the guy behind me. COVER YOUR MOUTH!

[cookiepuss]

when I first read the title I thought it said you had a terrible FIGHT. and I read it and was like where are the punches and hair pulling?:o

Ah worst flight I was on was a red eye from NY to SF. there was nice gal sitting next to me who was an editor or sumthin for "In Style" magazine. and sitting behind her was a very tall black man. well about 45 minutes into the flight she tries to tilt her seat back a bit like any normal person would and get some sleep. But apparently this was uncomfortable for the man behind her. but instead of working on a comprimise with her he just keep pounding against her seat so she turns around and is like what the heck? and the guy starts pissing and moaning about not having anyleg room and it turns into a big deal. So eventually the flight attendants move him to a different seat. but he doesn't stop there, in fact he pulls the race card and complains to the flight attendant that she's racisit and harrasing him. So they come over and tell her he's filed a formal complaint with them and that they may press charges against her and a bunch of bull shit. it was a nightmare. I even had to vouch for her that she hadn't done or said half the things the guy was claiming. no one got any sleep on that red eye that's for sure.:rolleyes:

I am fat, but if I was so fat that I needed a seatbelt extender I would never fly. That's not fair to others, and I would die of embarrassment. :(

I think it's wrong to recline your seat unless it's a red eye and everyone is sleeping. On my last flight, the girl in front of me reclined the entire way even though she never slept, and it was dark in the cabin because everyone pulled the shades on this daytime flight to watch the crappy movies and so my little light shined on the back of her headrest instead of on my tray table. If I wanted to read my book, I had to lean my book on her headrest or hold the book way up in the air (which I couldn't do forever because I have no upper arm strength).

It's too bad they can't separate the plane into sections based upon whether you're going to want to recline or not. :)

I had some lovely experiences on trains in the UK though. Mostly with foreignors, including some cute kids. I usually cringe when I see a kid sit near me, but these were well behaved and had parents who stayed on top of it.

My favorite flight ever was when I flew to Seattle next to Rachel, who was three and a half. Rachel had a huge collection of ponies and hair supplies. I was so relieved that she was a good kid that I happily picked up all the things she dropped on the floor and did all the ponies' hair multiple times while mom and the brother slept. We also read a book and exhausted my repertoire of playdough animals and people. Good times!

My worst recent flight was also to Seattle, when I sat next to two strangers who discovered their mutual crunchy-granolaishness and compared stories about their sickening kids and the exciting things you can make out of odd products that don't sound edible. That doesn't sound bad (and the recipes were interesting for a while), but one of their kids raises chickens (for the eggs only!) and "longs to be Amish" yet surprisingly does not enjoy the companionship of her contemporaries and is now going to be homeschooled. It was torture for me to hold my tongue.
