If it weren’t frowned upon, I’d John Matrix the fuck out of you in the very seat you’re occupying.
My left eye is offficly blind and I’m forcing he right eye closed to salvage what’s left. Hopefully this blind posting works.

Throat punches may ensue.

From the minute I get out of the car to walk into the airport until I land and get my rental is a ducking shit show from beginning to end. I loathe it. It’s almost as bad as moving.....



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Bose noise canceling earbuds, sunglasses and hat. I don’t even know I’m on a plane with the window shade down and seat kicked back.

Yep. I've fly flown business/first class to Asia a LOT. 10 hours in the air and my company will allow business class which is nice. It's mostly very frequent flyers and there are certain unspoken rules that are just understood by most.

- Don't open the shades when the lights are off and it is sleeping time
- Don't get up and down all throughout the flight to get stuff from your bag in the overhead compartment. A few times is OK.
- Putting on headphones of any kind means you are not available to chat.

The worst is when even the business/first bathrooms are a mess with wet floors. If you can't use a toilet and a sink without getting the floor wet, what the hell are you doing in there?
