this morning i was trapped next to a nervous farter

[Deleted]

on a plane.  and there was a lot of turbulence.  and it was the CRACK OF DAWN.  and i hadn't eaten yet (because of the stupid thyroid medicine).  and i am pregnant.  i wanted to die.

or, actually, to kill.

also, the chair i'm sitting in right now has a back at like a 90 degree angle to the seat which is making me and the baby jesus cry because it hurts so much.  i've tried adjusting it like 10,000 times.  i hate this chair.



other than those two things, i'm fine today.  no need to alert the authorities.

lol! He had a bomb in his ass - throw him off the plane!

it was a woman.  she was french (well, spoke french).  she later hit me with her duffel bag getting it out of the overhead bin.


also, i have finally fixed my chair.  i'm so much happier now.

:*( that blows. literally!

I had a stinky cramped seat on the way out to Las Vegas the other week. My friends got lucky and got emergency exit seats. I was suitably jealous.

Oh, and since we're all newer moms.... the emergency row was a super big treat b/c we were flying sans kids. You NEVER get that row once you have a kid and have to fly with them!

[LLL]

what do you mean nervous farter? was he dispensing his farts out in teeny, tiny, increments? like little whisper farts?

[malibu]

OMG. I'm sorry for the awful flight, cville, but I'm dying laughing. At least at the farter. Not at the uncomfortable chair. That's not funny.

silent but deadly farts emitted at take off, landing, whenever the seatbelt sign turned on and off, and with all non-infinitesimal turbulence bumps.

I'm pretty sure that's against current FAA rules. You should have alerted the proper authorities.
next time.

Sorry. I am totally a nervous farter on planes. Damn fear of flying.

I always fart more on planes and it has nothing to do with nerves. I mean, the gas inside expands with the altitude and it has to go somewhere, right. Generally, they are quiet and non-stinky though.
