[...] If you’re a traveler, this laptop is sweet. It’s so light and small and easy to travel with! It fits in a big purse. Although this is a petite laptop, the keyboard doesn’t feel all scrunched together. And if you’re using it on an airport tray table, it’s small enough that you won’t be terrified some jerk will crack it if you wind up sitting behind someone completely lacking in airplane etiquette, like this guy.

I used to travel a lot and here are the 3 things that ate me up EVERY time!

Bathrooms: 2 things here…the bathrooms are small as is…please clean up behind yourselves people. I hardly use them as is. But its nice when its clean. (travel tip:carry baby wipes) and the other thing if you must blow up the bathroom, there is a little something called courtesy flushing. Stop knocking out the flight attendants and people in the back rows with your foolishness.

Just because I smile and say hello doesn’t mean I am trying to have a conversation with you the entire flight. No. I’m southern. I’m being polite. When you see the ear buds in do not tap me to ask me a question especially when the headphones are IN the ear!

The other thing is when deplaning…I wish people would just please sit in your seat. Why must it be a cattle call when the captain turns off the fasten seat belt sign. We still have to wait. I can understand you needing to stretch…I’m 6’0. I understand, but to everyone else who feels the need to stand I the aisle when you are in 22f and the cabin door hasn’t been opened yet with bags in hand, have a seat.

Okay, so I see I ain’t the only one that goes to the airports ready to whip out the windmill…. WHYYYYYYY????? I remember when I could show up for my flight 20 minutes before it was time to leave. I had no issue with the above folks and I had a darn full lunch/dinner in flight. Now I get rude TSA agents, obnoxious passengers, bratty kids, and tired flight attendants. Is riding a horse an option?

Usually, I’m smokin hot before I ever reach the gate.Once I was at the self-serve checkin and a woman and her boyfriend at the next machine were having trouble using it. They were yelling at the ticket agent and when I bent down to pick up my bag that fell the woman stepped in front of me and cleared my screen and started using it. I was so shocked I couldn’t believe it. I said to her, “Did you not see me using this?” She replied nasty, “Oh really.” I explained to her that just because she wasn’t smart enough to use the machine it was no excuse for me to get arrested for mauling her in the airport. Then there was the one who flat out walked in front of me in the screening line and then held up the line because of all her hair pins and jewelry. But my favorite is the woman who was sitting in my seat on the plane and when I politely said to her she had the wrong seat she snapped back, “Can’t you go sit somewhere else?!” Before I go through the airport doors I remind myself 1) I’m a “practicing” Christian and 2) Catching a federal charge would be bad for my business. Breath, relax, cocktail.

I don’t think the recliners are totally to blame. It used to be that if the person reclined, the person in the rear was only slightly affected. Space limitations and capacity issues have taken the luxury out of flying. The supposed benefit of sleeping on the plane is muddied by one jacking up someone else’s comfort. I stick to large planes and fly business when I can.

I am amazed daily by people in restaurants and public spaces who refuse to say “please and thank you.” Rarely I will even I say it for them in their presence. I know this is obnoxious but I sometimes can’t help myself. Entitlment attitudes drive me crazy!

I have a friend who flies only when there is no other way.His usual transpo mode is Amtrak. So, he boards a train w/ a sleeper in PA in the evening and is in Chicago @ 9am ready to roll. It’s about the same for the return trip.

When he’s asked why he travels by train, his response is “I don’t have to be next to angry people.” Can’t argue with that!
