Going out to eat now…with the lack of workers it’s now a minimum 90 min deal to get a burger and a beer and it all costs 20% more than it did 20 months ago.

Eating outside a restaurant in a separated off area of the parking lot. There's a car parked right next to us. Lady comes out of the restaurant, gets in the car, turns on the engine, and starts texting and otherwise playing with her phone. I gave her the evil eye. It worked. I should be used to it booting up on the back of my car next to assholes who need to leave the engine on for who knows what reason. But I'm not.Quote:

These are normally the people who also dilly-dally while exiting the plane. Which is infinitely worse.Quote:

Especially when you've got a tight connection and you're towards the back of the plane.Quote:

I assume there were more people than just me that needed to make the flight and that was back when if you missed a connection or your connection was canceled they would put you on another airline so it cost them money. That was back when there were empty seats on airplanes. I've told all this to my kids but they just laugh and think I'm senile. Which I am, but it's still true.Quote:

Agreed. Idiots sitting in their seats as the people in seats in front of them are getting out instead of them getting their carry on and being ready to go. They should forfeit their turn and go to the end of the line. No reason for such stupidity.Quote:

Maybe try that next time you got a tight connection?Quote:

Also cool was how we were delayed a bit in departing, so the pilots straight put the pedal to the metal to make up for lost time and we ended up on time. United's too cheap to splurge on the extra fuel burned, so those jerks are ALWAYS late. Haha.Quote:

Annoying as fuck...
When you are working in the basement, and it dawns on you that the dog is not where she normally is keepin your toes warm. So right when you begin to wonder where she is, you hear it... heauuughack! dog barf in the hallway. FACK!
Guess those TPS reports will have to wait a bit longer.
this still happens on flights from SLC into JH on Delta.Quote:

this has saved me many times. maybe my luggage won’t make it, but nbd.
I’m guessing it also has to do with us having no connecting flights in Jackson so it’s not impacting more flights to wait a bit.
Seriously. Those guys are late. Every. Damn. Time. SO many missed connections. SO many unnecessary overnight stays in the layover cities. And they always try and screw you on accommodations when possible. Lately they've been giving Spirit a run for their money. Avoid at all costs. Delta's not perfect by any means, but they've definitely been "better" than the others for whatever that's worth. Still, they're just winner of the airline Special Olympics.Quote:

United breaks guitars.
Thanks for a valuable suggestion.Quote:

My sister got to fly in formation with him for part of the time in a Texan (Harvard) trainer.
I can't imagine what it must mean to someone who grew up in London during the war watching these things in combat overhead. He'll probably take the grin to his grave.

That’s awesome �� (the flight, not that you can’t be there)
First time I went to JH was back in the 80's I think. They had just cranked up security because of hijackings. It was funny to see a bunch of security theater in SLC being done on the handful of passengers of our little plane, all of us in ski clothes. It didn't seem likely our flight would be a target.Quote:
