The ones who hold up the evacuation of a plane when its ON FIRE! because they want their overhead luggage. It happens all the time. WTF are they thinking?! I’d punch you right in the face if you did that in front of me. Its easier/faster to step over your unconscious body than to wait while you fiddle with your bag full of underwear or whatever.:smack:
Ok, Mr left-his-undies-on-the-plane, but don’t you dare ask me if you can borrow a clean pair when we’re stuck waiting in the terminal building for 6 hours waiting for them to repair the burned bits of the plane so we can finally leave.
Meanwhile, the rest of the people on the plane are burning to death as the OP finishes posting his complaint…
Hey, c’mon, he’s gotta get that nice Snapchat photo of the asshole grabbing his bag. What’s your hurry, anyway, you got a plane to flee screaming from or something?
Hey, I paid over twenty bucks for that Dale Brown novel and bag of trail mix. Like hell I’m just going to leave them there.
I especially hate the ones who put their adjectives into odd places in sentences.
I want to know what recent experience prompted this pitting.
This is why I’m thinking of henceforth travelling with a photographer’s vest on, to have in it my medications and other hard-to-replace things and just be able to run for it.
However, other times one gets seated next to a cute sorority girl with a small nose …
I wasn’t getting my bag. I was taking the bags the others left behind. I make quite a lot of money that way. The hard part is getting the planes to “burn all the time.” Other than that, it’s EZ money.
Reminds me of a safety meeting we had at work once. The safety coordinator was asking questions, and when it came to me, “Morgenstern, what steps do you take in the event of a fire?”
Apparently “Giant fucking steps, sir,” was the wrong answer.
I agree. Personally, I try to remain airline uncertain. I makes it difficult to be sure I’m on the right plane, but it keeps me from getting pitted.
Or more likely Emirates flight EK521, which crash-landed in Dubai in August. A video shows passengers blocking the aisles to retrieve their overhead luggage while smoke fills the cabin.
Reminds me of that time the sarge asked me who discovered the concept of asexual reproduction.
Now you know why women carry purses. Medication and a change of undies in one small bag!
When I fly, I wear pants with cargo pockets. Seriously. With all the limits on carry-ons, I want to carry as much stuff on me as possible, not just so I can have them on me, but so I can have more stuff. If I have medication, I keep the labeled bottle in a pocket (this happened to me the last time I flew-- that I had medications, that is), and I also kept a list in ball-point ink (doesn’t run) in a baggie, of the medications, the name and number of the doctor who prescribed them, and my name.
I think if we bail out in a fire, we’ll all be checked by doctors. If I lose my medication somehow, or if I bail out into water, or if I am unconscious, The stuff can be represcribed.
It’s a little paranoid, but if I have to bail, I can get up and run.
FWIW, I don’t care how dorky they are, especially on someone my age. I love my cargo pockets. I never carry a purse. Except when I fly, because I’m allowed to.
That’s not fair, your undies are smaller.
As for the OP, you do realize we’re now going to be stuck here for hours; how is one supposed to keep occupied if one’s phone charger is stuck in one’s bag on the plane? You’re being really inconsiderate. :mad:
Yup, it’s unbelievable how long it takes the bloody airlines to remove the bodies of the people from the back rows of economy who die of smoke inhalation and clear the foam off the runway. If they could do that kind of thing quicker, then maybe I’d consider leaving my phone charger behind. It’s basically the airlines’ fault.
Just saw Sully last night. The plane is sinking and Capt. Sully spends time grabbing overcoats out of the overhead!
