As many of you may not know but I went to Iceland and back about two weeks ago and I just wanted to share some random thoughts while I was on the aircraft home....
- People really do lose whatever intelligence they had on land, once they get into the sky. --If there are already 3 people standing up waiting for the bathroom do YOU really have to stand up and crowd the aisle and continuously bump the passenger sitting in the last row, aisle seat?
-Were you raised in a barn? Cut your food like normal people do! The seats are small enough as it is, MUST you cut food, wiggle, dance, and fidget so that my space is also yours? Do not impose on your neighbors space!
-D-I-Y. Yes, do-it-yourself flying! Those economy passengers who finish their meal early bring their own tray of food and trash to the flight attendants in the back galley or to the counter in the back galley to be disposed of. Brilliant!
-Yoga/Stretching classes mid-flight, in the middle of the aisle. Travel and Exercise in one. Amazing. Great idea -- passenger in 24C! Not.
-Being a flight attendant sucks. Not only do you have to be pleasant and kind to morons faces but you have to push a heavy cart around and serve them. Oh and god forbid you interrupt the yoga class in the aisle while trying to do your job.
-Yoga passenger: Has been standing in the middle of the aisle and stretching for 12 minutes and 34 seconds while the flight attendants have been trying to maneuver around her with their carts and trays of coffee & tea.
-9 passengers standing in the aisle forming a line for 1 bathroom in the back. Does this make sense? I am ducking and dodging these ignorant passengers for.... 2 hrs and 40 minutes so far. Oh and in the span of 3 seconds the number in line has increased to 12! 12! This is not a stadium with stalls and urinals in a row.... 1 bathroom! 1 aisle! Sit the hell down and wait!
-One passenger and his young son must be members of the "frequent bathroom trip club." Not only have they been to the bathroom 3 times in 2 hrs and 40 minutes but they also have a severe case of B.O.! I've had to smell it 3 times. Sit down!
-I should charge or be charged for the amount of ass and frontal genitalia I've had touch my elbow and shoulder for the past 2 hrs and 51 minutes.
-I wish I could take a picture of the line right now. It is from the back galley of the aircraft halfway up to the overwing emergency exit rows. There is something wrong with this picture and I think bathroom usage should be controlled. Charge on board per use? Brilliant!
-Gotta love smirking as these poor fools and getting confused/dirty looks. Ah! Beverage service is no longer offered! Out! No more! No more potty breaks! No more.
-I may be missing out on something back there. I wonder if there is a party or a disco of some kind going on in the bathrooms? Prize giveaway to the most frequent user? There must be a store or a shop in there that I don't know about. Maybe I should join the bandwagon....
-I'm so glad I put my carry on filled with gifts under the seat in front of me so the marching band could stomp, kick, drag it to the bathroom or up to the middle of the aircraft with them.
-An entire aircraft suffering from overactive bladder syndrome? Interesting.
-Motion sickness from the amount of people buzzing back and forth.
