I disagree. Nearly half of voting Americans did the dumbest thing ever three years ago.

I’m 6'6", I have many stories on this subject. My favorite was when an older lady (Grade A Boomer) in front of me did not understand that the only way she could recline was if I broke my femurs. At some point I went to bathroom, and returned to a fully reclined seat. I asked her politely and apologetically if she…

Dear lord

Former airline pilot. Worst thing(s)?

I’ve told this one before, but it’s worth repeating.

yo what the fuck

I remember this post. It is perhaps the greatest content ever generated in the history of Gawker, GMG, Gizmodo Media, or whatever-the-hell this place calls itself now. It should be optioned for a film, possibly directed by Adam McKay and starring Christian Bale, with Al Pacino as the Old World carpenter, and Danny…

For me, it would have to be my flight into Baghdad International Airport in April of 2004 on a C-130 Hercules. At that point I’d been in the military very close to 6 years, so I’d done some stuff and had knew a landing in a combat zone wasn’t going to be routine, but the plane was filled with National Guard troops…

It’s rare for people to experience Virgin a 2nd time.

If they’re going to spend 2.5 hours in the air just to burn off fuel, why not spend some of that time getting closer to the destination?  If things really go to shit, does it really matter if the plane crashes outside of Philly or St Louis?

Person next to me pulls out a whole avocado from his bag; bites into it and tears a ~1" hole in the outer skin (spits/discards skin somewhere); then proceeds to eat the entire avocado by a combination of squeezing and sucking the insides out through this hole. This is in the first 15 minutes of a 5 hour flight.

Oh, The judgemental faces. I know EXACTLY what you mean. My pregnant wife and I were at Heathrow hours before a flight but almost missed it due to morning sickness. We ate breakfast and then my wife headed off to the bathroom to you know... be sick. It was so bad that I had to go buy crackers to try to help. As we’re…

Normally a T-bone isn't finger food tho. That's the weirdest part

+1 Cleveland Steamer. Seems legit.

Technically this wasn’t while flying, but one time while walking through the Cleveland airport to catch a connecting flight, I came upon a kids playhouse like this in the middle of a departure lounge.

I don’t think it’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but the weirdest. I was in the Lincoln NE airport, past security, and this dude in business wear shows up with a to go container, pulls out a t-bone, absolutely houses it with just his hands, then cleans up with a newspaper that was just sitting on the chairs. There…

Gen X’ers need to get over their phobia of wagons. They’re cool AND practical.

That’s great- I don’t like any new capability they’ve given me.  If it would just play the video I ask it to play and not auto-preview or auto-play something I didn’t ask it to do I would be much happier.

By brother drives a dually because he works construction and hauls heavy equipment. You know what else? He can park that bastard perfectly between the white lines in a parking lot. I was with him when he parked and we both mocked all the big SUVs and lifted bro-trucks who were taking up two spaces or out in the lane…

Classic rock.
