I'm 6'2. I make sure whenever I fly I get an aisle because its comfortable. If I fly from Phila to LA, its not "a couple hours." Like I said, I'll trade an aisle for an aisle, but its offensive for anyone to even ask me to trade an aisle for a middle or wondow seat. I'm being forced to sacrifice my comfort that I worked to ensure so some guy who didn't work to ensure his own comfort can relax in an aisle seat? WTF? Thats fucking offensive.

Comfort is overrated. What are you, some candy-ass Metrosexual? Be a mensch.

ETA: And you're short, too! 6'2" on the internet. Sheesh. I'm 6'2" in real life, never less than 6'6' on the internet.

That was fun trip. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

Fuck that. I'm not sitting in a middle seat (or some other shitty seat) because you want to sit next to your wife. Kiss my ass. Unless you have the same or better to offer, pound sand.

2. If sitting apart from your beloved for a few hours is going to kill you, you need a life.

The only exception is if they are newlyweds. Ya' gotta have some sentiment.

Kids who kick seats

Don't ever turn around and glare when a kid kicks your seat. Smart kids observe it and treat you like Pavlov.

Shit man. It's a fucking seat. A place your ass rests for a couple of hours of total or near-total unproductiveness. Time that you have already agreed to surrender never to recover again.

I put this in the category of giving your seat to someone who is pregnant or elderly. It's courtesy. It's nice required, but decent people do it.

Fuck you. Book your seats together, in advance.

Or - as mentioned earlier - take the fucking bus.

Or the ones who talk in a high, sing songy, repetive voice for the whole fucking flight. Does Taylor want a piece of cheese? Honey, can you get me some cheese for Taylor? Oh, how about an apple, Taylor? Do you want Mommy to give you an apple? Mommy just has to find the apple. Mommy's looking for the apple!. Here's the apple! Yay, apple! Oh, Taylor doesn't want the apple? Okay, then, how about some goldfish? Does Taylor want goldfish? Look at the goldfish, Taylor!!! Honey, look, Taylor's eating goldfish!

Someone is in for a surprise (maybe pleasant, maybe not -- YMMV).

If Taylor is over (say) 2, or if Mommy chooses to belt that shit out over the plane, I'm with ya, RP.

But I remember reading once that for the very early ages, high, sing songy, repetitive voices make a difference. My wife and I mocked my MIL with all that shit because it made her sound like the fifth Tellitubbie, but we noticed it had an effect, and then we read some such shit that suggested that it actually helps communication.

Like I say, it should be used only in moderation, and only with infants or with Sidd. And in public it should be whispered, so the chances of looking like a fucking idiot are raised no more than necessary.

But what if the plane crashes? You won't be able to say goodbye!

Not at all. They are invited to join me at Taylor's pre-school production of "A Streetcar Named Desire," too.

Why is it that people can take time/days off by pleading "children" issues, yet I can't waltz in on Monday at 11 and say "Well, I was feeling rather toxic after the weekend and figured I'd sleep in late and hit the gym before coming in." If we're both missing the same time, why is one excuse A OK but the other not? Shouldn't the childless get equal "personal time" to put them on even footing with the free time parents get?*

* And don't say its not "free time" when you're dealing with kid issues. Any time for personal issues outside of work is "free time." You choose how to spend it.

Because if you have to pick your kid up from school because her mother is sick or some shit, it can't be avoided. Your hangover can be suffered through.

And this is a bullshit post anyway. When you don't want to work, you make up something to get you out of it just like everyone else. So, stop whining.

I'd have taken the job for their sake if they had been hotter.

If she's cute and next to Sidd, don't worry, he'll say good-bye.
