My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up…
…and so is my dinner at the thought of walking through airports again.
Over the sidewalk and through the ropes
to TSA’s house we go.
The cops know the way to ruin our day,
they put on quite a show.
Fingers in places no one can see
and hands that grope my boobs
once in the plane, my baggage tucked,
I have to say getting there sucked.
AND THAT’S THE PLANE TRUTH!
Yep. It’s nearly time for a fate worse than death — going from the parking lot to the plane.
On longer flights, I’ll get my Starbuck’s Chai with honey and soy milk before boarding and sip on it – for 9 hours – to avoid having to use the airplane bathrooms.
I can stuff a carry-on full of crap so well, you’d think it was the inside of a Tardis.
If the airlines weren’t so blinded by the allure of making a buck, they’d understand we know the truth
Fortunately, I’ve only had this pilot once in my lifetime and lived to tell about it
We were over New York City when the plane went from upright to sideways in a matter of seconds. The buildings looked like this from the air
Oddly, I was stoic about the fact that if I was about to die, I had the worst possible view ever. Another name for this brand of stoicism is “Frozen in Fear.”
When you fly crunch class, doesn’t it seem that the flight attendants are a bit irritated at having to provide the drinks and peanuts to 300 people for a 1 hour flight?
I can’t imagine why.
The last time I took a plane, this was my flight attendant.
Really. I’m serious. I think he poked me with the end of his sword to force me off the plane and into
ANXIETY CENTRAL
Otherwise known as yet another airpit airport.
I’d rather endure this
Than go through THIS:
You only have to go through a catastrophic plane crash once.
If you don’t hear from me next month, you know where I’ll be.
The drinks picture reminds me of my biggest (well maybe not biggest) peeve/fear with flying – I have this image in my head of being sucked out the plane via the toilet. Plus, it’s very true – I have queued for the loo, desperate to pee, having tried for nearly the entire length of a long-haul flight to hold it in – my own worst enemy on that occasion. The queue was slooooow!

Reblogged this on Two on a Rant and commented:
I wrote this yesterday and am presently in Atlanta.
i.e.; I lived through it.
Enjoy. 🙂

My 4th husband had that happen to him when TSA first started. He had carried around an ivory-handled pocket knife given to him by his father (The knife was at least 50 years old). They confiscated it, said he could get it after his return flight, and it was never seen again..

I do not travel well on planes. Back in ‘94, I flew from Melbourne to London. 23 hours! Only an hour stop on the way. Then the day after I met my then bf’s dad, he flew us over Devon and Cornwall. I’m sure I’m known as the girl who threw up everywhere and went home in my boyfriends Kelvins. Nailed it! Cheers,H
