To add to the tired rant topic of flying…
Interesting flight home last night.
People behind us were grabbing and wrenching our headrests every time they got up or sat down, and they couldn’t seem to decide what they wanted out of their bags in the overhead compartment. This interrupted my slumber multiple times.
Person behind my wife was aggressively playing a screen tap based video game built into the back of her seat. Whoever came up and allowed the idea of embedding tap-based games with timing and urgency built into the interactions into your neighbor’s seat back is extremely stupid—this is a patently obvious outcome and problem with that decision. Passengers could just watch or listen to content, sleep, read (they should really add books and periodicals to these screens), raw dog it, or if they must have games they could design them not to encourage hammering on the seat in front of you.
One of the flight attendants was wearing a cologne that smelled like bug spray, and so much of it that it made you cough and your eyes water whenever he was coming down the aisle. This individual skipped us when delivering snacks, and skipped me when we politely summoned him back to take care of my wife and child. I just wanted his cologne out of my sinuses so I let it go.

People have all sorts of fetishes these days. Japan has had used underwear vending machines for decades.

@Giles I've always wondered why airports have silent bathrooms. They need some fans or music and fragrances present. Most people have been holding in gas for however long their flight time is, the bathrooms are absolute fart festivals at the airport.

@Giles a direct fart to face lane for the person behind me would have been welcome last night
You sure.....

Oh yeah, I’m sure that’s how it happened…

@Giles I was prepared to feel bad for the victim until I saw the term “influencer” attached to them.

@Giles now that’s a role that would get my respect. I suppose they’d seek out sponsorships from Bush’s baked beans, cabbage farms, breweries, and the like.

@mclaincausey Kimchi for some extra spice

I would happily fly now, with or without farting.
Always best to adjust your cabin pressure as required on the flight.

@mclaincausey There's an alpine town about 3 hours from San Diego that's about a mile high, and we always notice the same phenomenon with bags of chips when we go.

Hi guys! I would like to discuss this topic with you. The sound of Russian and other languages. How my language sounds to a foreign ear. I heard an opinion that the Russian language sounds like the creaking of an unlubricated cart with a pile of chaotic sounds. I got interested. Portuguese and Scandinavian languages sound similar to me. What do you think?
