    F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...
    Cash my inversely correlate to misery in general, but it's way more pronounced with air travel. I hate airports and flying more than almost anything. Truly a miserable way to spend half your day.

    People not prepared for the TSA line. It's akin to people not being prepared to pump their gas at Costco. You had 5 minutes to put your incidentals in your pants pocket in nook of your carry on. Loosen your shoes. That being said some of the bullshit TSA requires from one location to the next, or even continues to require is baffling. Oh and people travelling with animals. Also check your bags.

    I'm not picking on you @whlinder, because quite a few people use the term "rollerboard". It's actually rollaboard.

    Had to get that off my chest. Now, I can sleep at night.

    Yeah, fuck dogs on planes other than a REAL service animal. If you need an emotional support dog to leave the house then stay home.

    Pets don’t belong on planes unless you’re blind. I can maybe make a case for our veterans but if you dyed your hair blue… ok I’ve made my point… TITTT!

    Carry on luggage / overhead bin shit shows
    Toss up on the carryon luggage nonsense. The Throbber is a fashionista and needs more than one little bag for his apparel.

    But the biggest fuck you is for the assholes who have no fucking idea on how to disembark. It’s like a wedding or a funeral, you fucking idiots. Don't dash out in front of the bride. Go row by row. Wait your goddamned turn.

    The Throbber has put more than a few elbows into the chests of line jumpers.

    That and the jackwads who crowd around the luggage carousel. GTFO of the way so other people can get their bags.

    @MrsSnow legit threw a fucking D1 4/5 spot elbow into IU getting off the plane in Incheon on a connection for our Honeymoon.

    @DerekJohnson the view afterwards

    Living in Lexington, I’m used to going out of a small airport often with only one X-ray machine. Since I’m precheck, I get a big laminated card so the X-ray people know I’m not taking off my shoes or removing my laptop. I’ve had the same experience flying out of Kauai.

    Fly out of Palm Beach 2 years ago and they had minimum staffing and only one line so I get the big laminated card. Send my bag through and the fucking idiots pull it and ask if I have any electronics. I’m like yup. Fucking idiots starry nearly yelling at me that it’s supposed to come out. I reply that I’m precheck and they keep nearly yelling, it doesn’t matter.

    That episode made my blood pressure go up a couple points.

    White Wakanda International Airport works in the similar fashion @CFetters_Nacho_Lover - i.e., one line, but placard to indicate you don't need to remove shoes and laptops.
