It’s also an advantage of being relatively unimportant and never being sent anywhere. They did threaten to make me drive across town for software training once, but I dodged that bullet by simply learning it myself.

How do you know they haven’t worked out the math? In what way are they showing that “numbers aren’t their fried?” What if they have flown a total of 10 times and either 7 or 8, they can’t be quite sure, they were selected. That’s 70-80%. Short answer, no, you’re probably not the only one reading this that is an…

I care more about the contents of my luggage being unpacked, shoved back in carelessly, and broken than I do about the additional screening.  That happens far more often to me.

I get it if she is mandated to go through the explanation - I know similar monologues that either can’t legally be waived, or voluntarily waived. But, I mean, she could have EXPLAINED that to you, rather than freak out about it. 

The last time I flew (last month), I got treated to front row seats for the TSA screaming at and berating the guy in front of me in line to go through the scanners. His offense: he needed a belt to keep his pants up, they demanded (at a yell) that he remove it, and then commenced yelling at him for not being able to…

I went off on a TSA agent for threatening to make me walk outside and throw away my multi-use water bottle all because it barely had more than the 3.4fl oz limit. She wouldn’t let me just take a small swig of it nor was I allowed to just dump it out into the trash can, since it was clearly an accident seeing how…

I just figured it was because I was the polar opposite of profiling. Well over 6 feet tall, blond, blue eyed, etc. I kinda assumed I was being used to “even the scales”. The only time its really bad is when the some metal screws in my terminator skeleton set off metal detectors.

bow to the Tushy Salivating Agents

And you said you got pissed because it was 4:45 in the morning.

My wife recently overheard one of the agents get upset with me after I left the body scanner because I stood there and stared at her. Apparently my face said “come on wtf is going on” because she didn’t say shit to me despite her being in the position to tell me to stay or go. And she was the upset one...

This happens with small minded people all the time. They’ve greatly inflated their self importance despite having a totally arbitrary and mostly useless job function.

They’re paid shit for the job. Consequently, all the people willing to take the job are shitty people who suck and life and take it out on you.

When did we get to the point where we asking for plot devices in commercial? It’s a fucking commercial for an exercise bike- not woman in a hostage marriage, not making fun of fat people (note, she wasn’t fat- but I assume it also has to do with her broken marriage that her husband thinks she is fat?), it’s nothing-…

Absolutely valid, but giving an unsolicited compound miter saw as a gift probably wouldn’t risk being as insulting compared to an unsolicited gym membership.

I hope you stay equally cool if men start deciding to hang dong at sports games. It’s just skin.

Aww hell no. 

Probably because it is gross and gross can never apply to Lizzo.

Yeah, I really love Lizzo, but I can’t help but imagine how different the tone would’ve been if it had been Miley.

Plus, there’s zero chance Jezebel would take a charitable tone toward a woman doing this if she were smaller than Lizzo.

She should be able to trot around with her butt out at a family-friendly event; Americans could stand to be less prudish.
