  you mean other than the delayed flights, canceled flights, overbooked flights, luggage limits, luggage fees, lost luggage, destroyed luggage, airport “limos,” airport parking, absurdly overpriced everything, hourslong layovers, tiny seats that are filthy with dried up mystery condiments, screaming infants, and whatever else i might have left out? there’s also the people who, for some reason i can’t begin to fathom, seem to feel the need to come to poor flying’s rescue and “but…the time you save by flying!!!”

  nope. if i can’t get there in time by driving, then i’m not getting there. sorry not sorry

    You’re free to do whatever you like, but I really can’t imagine cutting myself off of seeing most of the world, simply because of a bunch of theoreticals. I fly fairly often for work and I’ve not even experienced half of those (I’m not even sure what problem you might have with airport limos). Most of those issues are easily avoided anyway, since they are a product of your own planning.

      lol there’s always at least one who simply can’t comprehend it

      yea. i avoid all of it by NOT FLYING. i’ve seen enough of the world that i don’t need to see anymore, certainly not by flying there. we all make decisions about what we’ll allow to be a part of our lives, and flying is not one of those things for me. i’m glad you’re fine with all the insufferable bullshit associated with it. and you get paid to do it. good for you. i don’t know how much money it would take to get me to ever get on a plane again, but i can guarantee it would be a lot more than you’re getting

  Security which is an invasive sham, being crammed into a tiny seat, all the waiting and lines, buckle and dining everything, expensive drinks, all sorts of wonderful options!
