Never let it be said that I'm ungrateful

Sep 21, 2013 02:23

I went to Iceland with a buddy and had a good time! That's the short version. If you want the long version, you know I can give it to you--haaay. But first I'll make an entry solely about my experience at the airport; something so terrible it doesn't deserve to share the same space as Icelandic adventure.

( did I mention this was my first time on a plane? it was my first time on a plane )

Try not to be late????? FUCK OFF OH MY GOD. I hate airports. Everyone's always talking about whether they hate flying or not but no, it's not the flying that sucks, it's the damned airports.

I have a fear of being in a plane crash but the actual flying doesn't bother me. I wasn't nearly as nervous as I thought I'd be! And yeah some people just equate the word "flying" with airports, but after living it I think that's an unfair comparison. At least in my future conversations a distinction will be made!

After all was said and done, ticket dude left me with this helpful nugget of advice: "Try not to be late next time."

I think the guy said that because I look underage and people treat me like it most of the time :\ OKAY DAD I WON'T MISS AIRPORT CURFEW AGAIN

As if underage! I don't really keep track of these things (I forget the exact date of my own brother's birthday EVERY. YEAR.) but surely you must be at least 25 or something by now?

Close, I'm 27! But yeah, I actually get remarks about it in daily life. The last culprits being my ex-coworkers, of whom half threw a collective shit-fit upon discovering my age, a dental assistant ("WOW I WISH I STILL LOOKED LIKE A TEEN"), and a guy giving out samples for Spanish beer ("oh, you look much younger! I guess that's a good thing, though!").

??? ok thanks guys I guess

Ticket dude actually didn't sound like he was trying to be rude about it though. Just patronizing. But still, he needed to pause and really think about what he was saying, unless his alter ego is Captain Obvious.
