Every once in a while I need to write something that may have nothing to do with providing resources, information or tips. My travels tend to have some sort of “adventure” component to them, somewhere along the line. In the past, except for a select few (i.e. family and best friends), all the craziness has stayed locked in my head. This time I thought I’d share.
On a recent flight, I had the opportunity of putting all my thoughts to paper while certain experiences were happening to me. Here’s what I was thinking while on a Southwest flight – you know, all the thoughts that are running through your head that you wish the other person would hear?
Why in the world would someone bring any type of food on a plane that has onions in it? I mean, come on. Really? I love onions too but you don’t see me unraveling a tuna fish sandwich!
Lady, you’re in the aisle seat, I’m in the middle seat. Maybe it’s the New Yorker in me, but I don’t think asking for a centimeter of personal space is too much to ask.
Southwest, if I order coffee with sweetener, please don’t assume that I need just one. Ask me how many I’d like. Your “LIFT” coffee needs more than one packet. Talk about rocket fuel!
Southwest, thank you for not charging me for the mini pretzels but would it be alright if you could make those bags a little bigger or how about giving me 2 bags? All this air pressure (and those stinky onions) are making me hungry.
Hey Southwest, here’s an idea: do open seating with your planes that just have 4 seats in a row. That way everybody’s happy. Window or aisle? Window or aisle? Easy.
It’s a good thing no one can hear my thoughts. How would you handle any of these situations on the plane? Would you keep your thoughts to yourself?
