Fastball

Ok. So I am a white Eastern European by origin who’s been to America like two times. And I felt empowered by that video and that performance - even if it has literally zero to do with me or my “struggle”.

I’ve read every single post you’ve made in this thread and I still can’t figure out why the hell you care this much if other people wear PJs or Uggs or whatever. Like, I understand the individual words that you have written about rising tides lifting all boats and the Decline of Modern Etiquette and how ridiculous you…

I’ll look business formal/business casual all through the airport and boarding (and often get upgraded on account of looking like a business traveler even when I’m traveling for leisure). As soon as those fasten seatbelt signs are off, I’m in the bathroom changing into my pjs or a sweatsuit for the duration of the…

I always do this. If I don’t get Pre, it’s easier to go through security with all of my stuff in the blazer. I’m also saving room in my carry-on, if I’m in a crunch, because I’m dressed for work(ish) already.

I also wonder about the day when we all just give up and wear unitards. Otherwise, I follow the same rules you do with the one extra caveat of “Do I not look like a total schlub in this?” I like to feel relatively presentable when I get off the plane just in case I run smack into ... Tom Hiddleston, or someone similar…

My airport-dressing plan takes into account two things:

You’ll have to pry my flip flops from my cold, dead feet.

Sorry, you’re on your own. I mean, I’m against pajama attire but (and personally I loathe this whole ath leisure trend. I do not want to see your camel toe in your spandex gym pants) but jeans and a t shirt is fine by me

Word.

I fly like this! It makes me happier.

My husband feels VERY strongly about this which has totally raised my flying-outfit game. I dress nicer to fly than I do to go to work.

Business casual? Only if I’m traveling for work and have a meeting right when I land. If I’m traveling for leisure, ESPECIALLY if I’m on a long-haul flight with tons of layovers and brisk jogs across giant airports to make connections, no way in hell am wearing jeans or slacks (which wrinkle and don’t breath).

Don’t worry, I don’t think you’re the weird one in this scenario. I just have a thing about people looking over my shoulder.

Generally, I get anxious when people are reading/watching over my shoulder even if I know them.

>Airplane armrests are to be split evenly between passengers. One person takes the front half of the armrest, the other person takes the back half.

A plane is not your living room.

As a huge Bernie fan I totally love Clinton too.

I’m confused. If they were where the port authority told them to be, right away pulled up the anchor to make sure reef was protected and are fully cooperating with the investigation, how is that “shirking responsibility”?
