well wasn't that special

[Tide In Mind Out]

i'm back in maryland, finally! i flew out from dallas yesterday and had a connecting flight from houston. alright lets run down the list of crap that happened in houston.

4:00 pm- we were supposed to be on the plane already but they said the plane was too hot on the inside so we waited for them to cool it off. boarded at around 4:15

a long time after that- bad weather hits PART of the airport. they shut down the runways except for a couple that all the planes had to then share, putting so far back in line we'd be in the air in a couple HOURS.

a long time after that- plane runs out of gas from sitting too long. goes back to the gate to refuel.

a long time after that- they're done refueling but now the navigation system on the plane breaks! so we wait for maintenance to fix it.

a long time after that- they fixed the thingy but now the flight crew has gone over the allowed hours for the day! so they LEAVE! and we have to wait for a whole new flight crew!!

a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time after that- in fact, SEVEN HOURS after we were supposed to leave, the new flight crew shows up.

a little bit after that- we couldn't take off because the flight attendants "needed ice."

too long after that- they got their ice and we were off.

ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT!....and they'd lost one of my bags, which i'm waiting to hear the status on in a little while.:Smug:

GOOD TIMES ON CONTINENTAL AIRLINES YEAH!

but at least there was someone sexy still waiting for me

> IHOP for drunken hanging around.

I usually go here when I need to wait 3 hours for transit to start up, and just chain drink coffee (free refills ftw) so I don't pass out

kthxbye<3

haha! great story. love how the inside of the plane was "too hot". good one.
i hate flying.

*re-reads story*: holy shit. are you *in* the plane for the rest of these delays? that's absurd! i'd be getting a refund.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

yeah we were sitting in the plane most of the time. once there was an optional deboarding while we refueled but i stayed inside as not to have to push and shove my way back in. then we all HAD to deboard while we waited for the new flight crew. but yeah...a tight fit for the most part

and my bag that was supposed to be delivered to the house at 8:30 pm didn't get here til 1:45 am :Smug:

 

[dorian gray]

once again: i hate flying. flew to paris and back last year. on the way, i sat next a huge sweaty miltary dude who refused a swig of my whisky bottle. there was also some retard who kept saying - at full volume - "how many minutes are left? are we almost there?" she was serious. her dad or whatever just kept answering her. i was like, "motherfucker! tell her to shutup!" people are so damn rude.
