Turtle's Nightmare

Forums:

-  had to wake up at 4:30am to make it to the airport for a 7am flight only to have it delayed due to a flight attendant who "suddenly became ill upon arriving at the airport" (coughcoughbottleflucough)

- 2 flight's worth of people crammed into one terminal with not enough seats for one flight's worth... both flights were going to Hawaii during Thanksgiving week, so tons of kids running wild.

- Finally boarded the plane only to find an obese dude with nasty BO literally taking up half of my seat (completely full flight, so nowhere to move).  Single aisle plane with above mentioned kids and parents everywhere, so no place to escape to.

- No gate available when we arrived, so had to sit on the tarmac for close to an hour.

And I didn't take any booze/rugs, plus I listened to Phi8h throughout the whole ordeal.

Turtle's Nightmare.

That is what Valium is made for

Don't fly without it

If children playing all around
To you is noise not pleasant sound

I'm anything but lost on a playground,

but I still don't like running screaming kids at dawn

At least Turtle would have fit better next to obese guy.

Good to see you posting Hall.

lol

what's up, Lance!  See ya Friday at the Warfield?

 

 

I'll be there. Row BB in the balcony, stage left side.

Hey Hall!  I'll keep an eye out for a couple of tall trees and will probably find the likes of you and Lance.

 

I'll be in Row B Seat 105 (not sure what side that's on).

Right on guys, I'm in row A of the Lower Balcony (left side as you're looking at the stage)

>>>Row B Seat 105<<<

5th row up from lower walkway, 5th seat in, dead center stage.

- Finally boarded the plane only to find an obese dude with nasty BO literally taking up half of my seat (completely full flight, so nowhere to move).  Single aisle plane with above mentioned kids and parents everywhere, so no place to escape to.<<<

If the airlines typically compel someone who isn't able to fit into a single seat to purchase an additional seat, shouldn't a neighboring passenger be able to make a monetary claim (perhaps based upon the percentage of space being taken over by neighbor) against airline if they refuse to move said passenger for not making available the full space / service agreed upon at point of purchase?

Not saying I would've made scene ... wouldn't want to put anyone through that unless it was just simply not going to work.    However, if the airlines are literally going to nickel and dime passengers to death, shouldn't they be held to the highest possible standards with respect to the provision of contracted space/service?

when i fly standby, i often get the middle seat...

see you sunday hall?

If I was sitting next to an open middle seat, I would be overjoyed if Turtle was the stander-byer. He could hold my cocktail. 

Obese dude had the middle seat, which I guess from his perspective makes sense... he gets to slosh into the seats on either side without either being crammed against the window, or getting banged around out in the aisle. 

I gotta say it put things into perspective... I'll always be grateful just to have my own seat from now on.

 

>>>see you sunday hall?

I would like to go to the show, but I missed out on tickets (I don't do much interwebbing when I'm in the tropics), so if anyone's got an extra, lemme know.

 

i sent an inquiry about an extra hall

cool

you're in, if ya wanna be!

 

Thanks, see ya there!

Sweet!
