Willing to go halfsies? I’ll supply the drab dresses and you can bring the port. We can take turns being moody and tortured!

I laughed at that, too. “I’m all in, but, you know, can’t commit to anything like going somewhere or standing up or whatnot. But I’m armed and dangerous with this keyboard! (SFX: Ding Dong!). Could you get the door? My pizza’s here.

I’m more of a Keyboard Hoplite, myself.

I’ve moved for couples to sit together many times and I’ve never asked someone to switch seats when I’ve been separated from my traveling companion. But the one time I declined to move (b/c I felt really sick and felt like I was better off staying in the seat I had bothered to choose in advance vs. the one they wanted…

The advice is the wooooorst. I have psoriasis that has been severe in the past, and worked a customer-facing job with a short-sleeved uniform for a long time. Several times a week, I got to hear about all the things I should do because they worked SO well for somebody’s cousin’s neighbor’s roommate’s boyfriend.…

You’re an asshole. Lol

One of my best friends has ichthyosis, and the amount of unsolicited comments and “advice” she gets from fucking strangers enrages me.  It blows my mind what people think is okay to say to a complete stranger.  When we were on a trip to Mexico years ago, some woman walked up to her and made a rude comment about…

You didn’t prebook your seats, and when the person next to you didn’t move, you stared at them like a creep for an entire flight.

No.

so, a single person is in the wrong for not wishing to give up their preferred seat for you? So you were snotty to them the entire flight? Wow.

If if a person picks their seat, and is happy with it, why should someone switch with you because you’re not happy with yours? I don’t understand the feeling that people are entitled to sit next to their significant other. 

so what you’re saying is that it's ok to discriminate against people because you're ignorant and afraid. how about no. 

If airlines are going to have policies of denying service to anyone suspected of having a contagious health issue, they need to hire medical professionals to make the call.

She sounds pretty amazing!!!

My sister in-law has ichthyosis and I’ve also been on flights where people are hacking and coughing and who knows if they have the common cold or an infections disease. Oh and fuck these people. I’m not going to blame the whole airline, I’m going to blame these specific employees and the a-holes who probably…

skin conditions, disabilities, you name it. they’re awful, but so are people in general. this woman’s story is heartbreaking with everything she’s endured through her life  https://www.lovewhatmatters.com/i-asked-my-husband-if-he-had-it-he-said-yes-one-nurse-even-said-i-think-he-has-what-mommy-has-he-had-white-chunks-o…

“ ‘well she doesn’t have a letter from a doctor, so...’””

Huh.  I looked it up and one time I was on a flight with a child who had this.  I didn’t know what it was.  Strangely, we all smiled at the little girl who was excited to be on a trip and then minded our own business, as did the flight crew. 

I was blissfully unaware of the reality of airlines removing passengers with skin conditions, genetic or not. What the fuck? Also googled ichthyosis - it must be incredibly difficult dealing with the inherent medical issues associated with that condition, not to mention assholes who will stare, mock, and even remove…
