I have been traveling a lot lately. I don't really like it much, but I have to do it, so I tolerate it. Since I have to tolerate it, I figure I should take it all in. Here are some things I have noticed while I have been seeing the U.S. lately.
Most Asian people bring enormous carry on bags with half of Hong Kong stuffed into them, yet most of them can't reach the over head bin. This is a problem, since they expect you to help them get it into the bin for them. If you find yourself in this situation, don't do it. Make them follow the golden rule, if you can't lift it, check it. That way I don't have to wait for your stupid ass to get help to get it down when we land. Do us all a favor.
Everyone has an iPod. Everyone. And they insist on using it right until the last possible second, forcing the flight attendant to make them turn it off. I seriously doubt that they have ever tracked the cause of a plane crashing to the use of an iPod, but they want them turned off, so do it early so I don't have to watch the flight attendant tap your stupid ass since you can't hear them.
*As a side note, I have found great fun in mouthing words to people in the terminal or on the plane, without actually saying anything, forcing them to jack with their volume. Nothing is more fun than forcing someone zoned out with an iPod into conversation. Try it.
Airlines Suck. Now that they are finally figuring out that they have a failing business model, they are giving you less and less service for more money. The newest profitability craze is to charge you for checked bags, which in turn lends itself to half of Hong Kong making it's way into the carry on section as we have previously discussed. With this rise in costs, people are now resorting to putting their kids in the overhead bins so that they can actually afford to get to Grandma's.
Where is America headed?
