DISQUS

And that's why I don't fly, amongst other various reasons. We have guys like that in the mall here. When you walk by, and I'm male first off, but they want to demonstrate some home-manicurist thingie to me. I'm like Jesus H. Christ God Almighty, do you realize who you're talking to? I just simply reply I'm late for a meeting or someother off-the-wall excuse. And they reply, "It won't take long." It's so intrusive. What's worse is, they have no sense of remorse after the fact. It's like, do you realize that you just kicked out a tune that was playing in my head? I don't know what the penalty of this should be. Perhaps just the mere fact that their ears should be burning right about now. The funny thing about this is, it happened around Christmas time, so I'm pretty much over it.

I hope you are planting a lot of trees for all the greenhouses gases you are emitting...


From all flying that is.



I get a Chia Pet for every time I go for a car ride. That way the world gets a carbon offset, and I get a new friend.

Flying these days really sucks. The planes are almost always crammed full and you're lucky if you leave/arrive anywhere near the scheduled time - IF the flight isn't cancelled altogether. Last week alone, American cancelled over 3,000 flights because of wiring inspections.


MIM needs to watch some of Delta's "Planeguage" videos to learn proper airplane etiquette - except it probably wouldn't do any good. People like that always think their behavior is perfect and it's everyone else who has problems. Did you steal her peanuts? That would have really pissed her off.



But hey -- you're in Sun Valley! How cool is that??



Yeah, the Starbucks incident is crazy. They should know better than to block people on the street. They probably have a quota to bring in so many people per hour or day. The next time it happens, pour the rest of the coffee over the guy's head and spoil HIS day.



Great post, Alison!

Wow, "Aly meets Robin Williams" sure was an interesting read. Let's see..."HAHA" at the trivia game, "Well, shit" at the sick baby and silverback on the plane, and "You have a lot more restraint than I" to the street jerk. I think that about covers it.


TO THE BATCAVE!

A star like you shouldn't have to contend with plane mates and street jerks like this. Don't they recognize you and feel intimidated? I think you are not putting out that too cool celebrity vibe that you have earned through deadlines, early mornings and late nights. Come on Alison you are a STAR!!!
