Aircraft Advisory: boarding edition

I will take this opportunity to discuss my feelings about aircraft boarding. This list is in no way exhaustive-just a few items that came to mind over the weekend:

1)I'm sorry to interrupt your novel on Kindle, it's really awesome that you brought your whole clan on the plane including four young children and a baby! If it's not too much trouble, maybe we could get them into their seats rather than letting them run up and down the aisle while people are trying to board.

2)I'm really sorry you couldn't stow your carry on luggage and huge souvenir bag in the overhead bin directly above your seat, make peace with it and move along to the next one so we can board.

3)I noticed you are assigned to seat 11A. It's interesting that you are trying to locate it at seat 23F..It's fairly obvious how one might get those two confused.

4)Listen guy in Airtran business class: I can see you are gloating about your seat assignment. I know that last night you upgraded yourself online by paying $99 extra because you are travelling alone and they had a seat available. Anyone can do it. It doesn't make you special or elite. So wipe the smug look off your face while I wait here for 11A to find her seat.

5)Those are great socks you bought at Brookstone a minute ago..if it's OK with you, would you mind actually putting them on your feet as opposed to going barefoot so they can "breathe" first.

sorry, it was a hectic weekend;-)

perhaps, but trust me, if you had felt the way I did boarding that plane you would have shared the sentiments

Airtran...ahhh. Yeah, that's what I've been flying back and forth to FL, and it's like it's an entirely different breed of people, for the most part.

Diet coke just came out of my nose when I read the part about upgrading to business class. I giggle every time I walk past those punks.
