I am glad I don't fly first class… the leg room is nice but how is it a reward to get on the crowded, stinky plane early? I would rather wait in the airy, lovely airport instead of on the plane.

i've recently completed a 17.5 hour flight (with a stop in Dakar) to South Africa and back. I learned that i hate the in-flight exerciser.

this is the 52 year old lady who must stand up and stretch every hour on the hour. while stretching she must show me her flabby midriff and must place her warm up pants covered butt in my face for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Negative. Having to arrive early for security only to wind up waiting ages for your flight. Positive. Time for a drink, to calm me. Negative. Can't afford the drinks. Negative. You have to share an armrest with the passenger. Double negative. Some passengers spill over past the arm rest barrier into your seating area. So you wind up watching movie but the entire time you're thinking about shoving or dropping the elbow on sleeping beauty next to you.

Its amazing to me how many ways you could go about investing your money. I've found for me that best solution is both risky and low risk stocks. I often times put about half of my investments into low risk mutual funds that grow over time and the other half in high risk high gain stocks. I recently got into day trading and I discovered that software stock picks are the most reliable as they can automate a process that I cant do quickly enough. The fellows over at stockmarketsoftwareblog.com have a fantastic system. You might want to check them out!

Ha ha ha! Love this post! You forgot the people who hog the armrests. Hello? This is NOT a Barkolounger?!?! Also, the international families and/or first time fliers who don’t know to bring a pacifier or sucker/gum to keep their kids from screaming the entire flight. (On a recent flight to L.A., I handed a couple two suckers and pointed to their babies ears. I had three people on the plane thank me out loud.)

The “In-Seat Massager”
That six year old munchkin behind you that expends his excess energy through the incessant kicking of the back of your seat…. and the mother who sits by and watches this happen for an entire three hour flight.

I love this list…reading it made my day. I don’t think that it would ever happen, but I’ll make a note to never fly on a plane with Amy. The train ride is the best part by far…unless there’s acutally a little old lady sitting on the seat part on the front and/or back of the train car becayse then you have to grab that greasy pole so you don’t fall all over the dude standing next to you.

How bout the awkward head back on the “head rest”, eyes closed, doing that fake “I’m asleep” thing so you don’t have to talk to the lady next to you…all the while you can’t help but to open one eye every now and then to peek to see if they are still flipping through the tax free in-flight shopping mag…

The other thing is this…when that Bell Dings…and everyone is off to the races with 90 degree heads, there is a baggage area, with a carousel on the other end, waiting for luggage to arrive, that typically arrives about 10 mins after you have raced to it…Hurry up and wait…Good times.

Having to watch the flight attendant demonstrate the incredibly difficult task of fastening and unfastening a seat belt. Dude, if you don’t have that skill mastered by now, you probably had to ride the short bus to the airport.
