anyone else fockin hate flying?

[miplank]

I wish I could get over the anxiety. I force myself to do it and get over it, but I never enjoy it.

Flying at night helps for some reason.

I don't mind flying at all...Except long flights cuz the seats are so damn uncomfortable for me.

I love the physical act of flying. It's all the other stuff that goes with it that drives me mad. Going to the airport, checking in, security, full cavity searches, boarding and de-planing, waiting for the Waitress In The Sky to get all the way back to me with the drink cart, the bad food, the fat guy in the next seat, the stale air.

Everything you said, and more.

If I'm not in first class (which I'm usually not cuz I'm a cheap bastard) then I can't fit in the fuckin seat. Oh my ass fits, but that's it. Shoulders and arms hang into the other seat and the aisle. Yes, every motherfucker coming down that aisle bumps into me, and a non aisle seat is NOT an option!

Let's not forget it's impossible to eat properly when you're flying. Gotta eat before you go and be there at least an hour early. Oh, but you have to leave way before that to drop your car off at the park and ride, and the airport's a half-hour away from home as it is. Plus I gotta drop off the dogs at the dogsitter. All that stuff is an extra hour. Now I have to get food at the airport cuz I need to eat again. That's assuming I've made it through that bullshit security with enough time to spare, and they're not giving away my seat by now. But if I miss that $8 5 inch pizza, or $10 6" sub, I can always look forward to those fucking 0.25 ounce bags of peanuts or pretzles on the plane!

Oh, and of course I am always drinking water and thirsty as hell. But nooooo! I can't bring a fucking bottle of WATER past security! Like I'm Macguyver and can make a bomb out of WATER! So now I'm buying that $4 bottle of water at Starbucks too (again, assuming I still have time).

Yeah, I guess I hate flying the way it is. If I had a private jet I think I'd enjoy it more.

I don't hate to fly but the older I get the more I dread takeoffs and turbulence. I just look down the aisle and tell myself I'm on a bus.

CM needs to be a flight attendant for peeps like us
U 2 Cindy Lou, Nimbus, and that's all I can remember.

The thought of being in close spaces for an extended period of time makes me want to punch my computer in the balls.

That's cause its a PC.

i can't handle the idea of plummeting from the sky, and i'm not feeling super excited about flying into shitty chicago weather for thanksgiving. My plan is currently to obliterate myself with a cocktail of xannies and motion sickness pills, and possibly pound some brews on the flight if necessary. Can i do better, legally?

I was a bit of a white knuckler until I actually looked at the statistics of what will kill you.

You're at MUCH bigger risk walking across the street. Put another way, your odds of dying in a plane crash are roughly equivalent to being accidentally strangled in bed (seriously, look it up). Puts an entirely different perspective on things.

Now being cooped up with a gang of strangers, breathing canned air, yeah, that I really hate.
