Love the Airport/Hate the Airport

I just love the airport. The funniest people get on airplanes. Some dress up like they are going to the Prom, while others look like they just got out of bed. I can sit here for hours and look at everyone.

Things I hate about flying are people getting through TSA check points. Let's get a few things cleared up.

1. Take your shoes off first.
2. Take all of the Sh$% out of your pockets first.
3. You do not need to take everything on the plane with you, that is why airlines have check bags.
4. Be ready for it, I hate when people get to the front of the line and then start getting ready and take for $%$%^$$%^^%$%% ever to go through. Those of us that fly a lot just want to slap you stupid, oh yah, you are already there.
5. When getting on the plane, you can not fit a 6 cubic foot square bag into a 3 cubic foot round storage compartment. Do not move my stuff, don't look at me for help because you are a dumb ass. My furry little butt just does not care.
6. People that want to talk on the plane. I don't care about your life story, I want to sleep. Don't invade my space, if you are fatter than me, buy 2 seats and leave me alone.

Side note, question? As I'm sitting at the airport right now working on free internet, what is with these "ugg" boots? At least that's what I think they are called. Young lady somewhere around mid 20s, dressed nice with these ugly white furry boots. I have permanent furry boots, does that mean I'm in style?

7. If you don't know what you are doing, stay out of the way and learn, ask questions, but don't and I mean don't hold me up just because you think the airline should change things just to accommodate your fat ass.

8. Peanut pushers are not slaves. Treat them with respect and be nice. (peanut pushers=Flight Attendants)

9. And last for this post, Keep you kids on a short chain. Kids running around like the airport is a flipping play ground is wrong. I have duct tape and am not afraid to use it.

When you fly more than 50,000 mile a year you kind of get punchey over some things. So if you see a grumpy Woodchuck at the airport, tread softly.

Remember to be nice to the rental car agents, I bet that Suzuki Swift is still waiting for someone who is not nice.

At one airport the TSC supervisor would move anyone not ready for screening to the back of the line.

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!! Great post and so on the money. It never ceases to amaze...after watching 15 people in front of them remove shoes, coats, pocket contents, there are those that reach the front and still have no grasp of concept...and if I appear less than enthusiastic about sharing "what I do for a living" with you when you ask please take that as a hint that the flight long conversation you have in mind might not be good idea! Bravo!

So, what car would you buy your kid???

There seems to be a general discussion running rampant around here about what type of car you should by a kid. And when said car should appear around the house. As I only have 4 years to pull this off, better start now. Things to consider before buying the car: 1. DD must complete 12 hours of flight time before taking test for permit. 2. Complete at least one driving school, Skip Barber , Bondurant Racing School , and so on. 3. DD must be able to change a tire, change the oil, do basic maintance on the car. I would like them to be able to strip down an engine and do a rebuild , however that may be just to much at this point. 4.DD must understand that I will not under any circumstance have or allow a pink car to park in front of my house. Cars come in four colors only, Red, Blue, Black, and British Racing Green. 5. Just what is the perfect Horse power to weight ratio? 6. Only one passenger in the car at a time. This is a good argument for a older British sports car that only has two s...

When do you take a Vacation?

I don't really take vacations, instead I take a lot of small trips with my family. I put the two little rodents in the back and we drive and enjoy time with each other. Although no one in the family is a road warrior like me, they do enjoy the destinations. I have not taken any days off this year and will take my "Vacation time" in December and have fun with the rodents. I guess I will never understand someone who needs to leave the kids with the Grandparents and go away for two weeks to some place expensive for a break. I mean, shouldn't you home life and family be where you want to go when you need a break. However, I do understand that this does not apply to my MIL....not going there.....not going there........We teach our kids to live and breathe in this world, don't do that, don't do this. But, do we ever teach our kids to have fun. Does anyone ever say do this, do that, or run wild and have fun? Next time you are driving down the road and you pass one of...

Starbucks everywhere

SEMA.... There was a Starbucks not to far from the booth, but what is up with the price of everything almost double what it is at a normal Starbucks? And when I tried to order a Venti Americano in a Tall cup, the guy just gave me that " I'm soooo confused " look. So I tried to order it in more simple terms, "four shots with just a little water for color". This just made matters worse. In the end I just received a Venti. I as a rule don't like the Venti as it's as tall as I am and makes it hard to drink. And in support of the glorious Hamster, please go vote for him and his new World Order at the Ellen Degeneres web site. vote: Hamster Write in: Wicked Hamster As the TKW says "Vote now and Vote often"
