Cruise ships themselves are festering, floating, piles of germs. Having said that, if cruise lines got rid of the dreaded “single supplement”, I’d be a face mask wearing cruise queen.

Early 90s; Tower Air; LGA>MIA.

Oh, I was the problem on a flight once, too. My husband and I had been on a 5-day boat trip to see orangutans in Borneo, and there wasn’t a way to bathe on the boat; the river, where one would usually bathe, was full of crocodiles. So we’d been jungle-sweating 24/7 in the same clothes, and we went to get on our flight…

Yes I fly United

One time I was on a flight from the east coast to the west coast and the plane was pretty empty. The fight attendant said when the plane reaches cruising altitude, people can sit wherever they want. My row was full though and I had a window seat, which I did not want to give up. We reached cruising altitude and…

I definitely was The Problem on a flight. I was 21, had been farming in Europe for six months, and came home for a holiday. For the past few weeks on the farm, my scalp had been itchy but I attributed it to sunburn—long hours in the fields, no hat, nothing to think about, right? Idiot.

No thank goodness but holy crap on chairs in restaurants???

You win and I saw someone die on a plane once.

I travel at least three weeks out of the month or work. I have seen things that make me hate people. (That coupled with people actually voted for Trump, make it difficult to leave my house if I don’t have too)

Who the fuck would do try to take some kid from a flight attendant????

It’s incidents like this that make me lose faith in humanity (more so the response than what happened, because I can’t be surprised when a man reacts violently when he perceives a woman as entering “his” space).

And the flight attendant's threatening response was worse. The airline needs to fire that person ASAP.

Pretty furious that there are still people saying that the woman was in the wrong for that seat incident. First of all, she did have a disability (fused neck), but besides that, she paid for and selected a seat that reclines. She’s allowed to use it, full stop. If you’re mad, be mad at the airline that keeps squeezing…

I once sat next to a filthy man who thumbed through a stack of Asian porn mags for the entire five hours.  Interrupted only by shouting “TOMATO JUICE!” every time a flight attendant passed us. 

People who whine constantly about the already well known and pre-established indignities and frustrations of air travel?

And not only that, but the women’s soccer team brought in over $1.5M more in revenue than the men’s soccer team over the last few years. So maybe the men should be taking a pay cut if it’s just about revenue?

E. Jean said something ages and ages ago that has stuck with me like no other advice column words ever have.

Excellent point. But I think your last one is most important. This is a very bad look for Elle. People in the publishing world might understand the million reasons why someone is let go. But all the average reader is going to know is that a writer who accused the President of rape lost her job. Very bad optics for the…

Thank you for reporting on this. Ask E. Jean was always a hilarious romp. I once questioned her advice to someone and she and I had a weeks-long dialogue as to the situation (which I believed might be risky to the querent). She was thoughtful and extremely concerned: not merely witty but truly wishing to do the right…

So Elle stands with accused rapists over their victims? Good to know...
