Airline travel is a great way to people watch. You can be whatever you want to be. Too bad it's usually a total a--hole! On my 5 hr trip from Texas to Wash DC, my neighbor and I picked out 5 terrorists on our flight. This stemmed from a man who was in line to use the bathroom and would not move for me to get into my seat- terrorist #1. I did squeeze into the seat, suffering a good bump on my noggin in the process. This game was my neighbors attempt to make me feel better... and me being a good sport!We even had a consular from Nigeria and the Air Marshall who had ear plugs in, but no volume, that sat behind us. So eventually we thwart the intended destruction and was shadowed into the airport by the USAF! Congratulations all around.
After 2 days of travel and numerous delays, we finally made it to KAF. My flight was 19 hrs, 13 spent from Wash DC to Dubai, where lucky lady mooned me again and I was mysteriously bumped from my choosen window seat to a spot between 2 big, hairy and smelly guys. Big guy #1 swore that he never sleeps and I could get up as much as I wanted to...he totally understood my predictament. Then, after knocking off a few cocktails, decided that he didn't feel like getting up, (8 hrs into the trip and only my 2nd request). I told him that I totally understood his choice and that I was very sorry to be a such a bother. Then I stood on my seat prepared to jump over him...he looked up in shock, ( oh to have a camera ready for moments as these), and said, "what are you doing?' I replied, " Honey, I have to pee and I'm going whether you like it or not. He jumped up in disgust and told me that if he had known that I was going to have to get up constantly, (??? 1 trips in 8 hrs. This was my 2nd request??) he would've have changed seats with me. So I said, there's still time! He wouldn't change seats but I took that opportunity from my prison to go and visit my friends in other sections and get a huge coffee!
Talk again soon...
