I had a buddy that, when his family was moving back to the US from a country in South America, had the brilliant idea of packing all his toy guns into one suitcase. He'd gotten the guns abroad which meant they didn't have that bit of orange on the barrel tip required in the US to tell people this gun is a fake. He…
Your own wedding is a good time to be sexually receptive, isn't it?
It's true. I wore a red dress to work the other day - you know, in order to signal my sexual receptivity to all of the men I work with - and none of the other gals in the steno pool would talk to me. They gave me the cut-direct, I tell you.
I definitely once accidentally brought a knife through security at two different airports. But then another time they took my husband's suitcase apart because there were tentpoles in it. Whatever, TSA.
"BLOWIN' A KISS TO ALL THE HATERZ."
So was there a pancake party or what?? You can't leave me hanging like this!
Me too, it's my favorite color. Scarlet women for life!
Coming home from vacation a few years ago (New Hampshire? Rhode Island? The airport was hella tiny), like a dozen TSA agents were all manning the only open security line. The entire line came to a screeching halt when the family in front of had the following items:
i worked inside and outside of security at an airport, and i can promise that a huge portion of travelers are fucking idiots. when i would be posted outside, people would get water from the cooler with A BIG ASS SIGN SAYING THESE BOTTLES CANT GO THROUGH SECURITY, then come in line where there are signs saying CANT…
Gah, I love Peggy Carter so hard, and that dress is aaaaahhhhhhmazing.
Plus, how bitchy would you get if you pulled a meat cleaver out of a suitcase, said "umm, dude, you can't bring this" and then got screamed at for being evil incarnate? Or, you had to throw away someone's lotion/shampoo/etc that is too big for carry on, only to, once again, be screamed at, despite the rules being well…
inside a vibrator's battery compartment. They generally don't want to touch those.
"Gnife" made me lol.
Yeah, it's such a stubborn stereotype in the West, but as someone else pointed out, it's the traditional color of wedding dresses elsewhere. Humans and their cultural signifiers, man.
HAAAAAAAA, my mom gave those gun-knives to the dudes in our family for Christmas. She must have gotten them in those catalogs old people get, because they're "collectors items" and each gnife has a different old west person on it. When my husband opened the blade on the bullet and I saw that was ALSO a knife, I nearly…
I'm usually more on the side of 50-50 nature vs nurture, but if there's anything that screams "culturally learned behaviour" is the symbolism of the colour red. It's been assigned to sexual outwardness since a long time ago, but it isn't necessarily like that in non-european cultures.
I always thought someone could rake in the money by opening a service in the airport to let you mail yourself things TSA won't let you check. I know there was at least one time I would have used it (I forgot about a brand new and kind of pricey lipgloss in my purse and they made me throw it away.)
