Post-Travel

Note to airports: If I am not allowed to carry on anything liquid in a bottle, then don't sell it to me! Seriously, did you really have to confiscate the olive oil I had just bought at the duty free shop not 5 minutes before?

Note to passengers: Crowding around the gate the second that they start boarding the elderly and people with small children will not get the plane off the ground any quicker. Even if you are the first one on, you will have to sit there and wait for the rest of us to board. There is a reason they board a plane from back to front; that is so you impatient idiots don't stand in the aisle blocking the way for the rest of us while you hog up the overhead compartment, placing your belongings just so!!

Note to Swiss Air: Thank you! That was truly a great flying experience. From the choice of movies to video games and even the food.

HOLY CRAP I've been making that argument about the moron passengers for YEARS now.

I'm not so sure it's because they think they'll get off the ground faster. I think they're just selfish assholes who want to reserve some overhead compartment space for their oversized luggage.

Welcome back, by the way.

I think it is either they are:

a) nervous wrecks who feel they must board the plane as early as possible because what if the flight is overbooked, what if somebody else sits in their seat, what if there isn't any room left in the bin immediately above their seat, etc.

b) people who feel so entitled that they don't need to wait for anything. They don't care if they are in Group B and only Group D is now boarding. They will try and sneak on past the ticket-takers, and show us who's boss.

c) total assholes.
