Flying and airlines are terrible

I couldn't have a career that required flying every week. I set my bag down and ran real quickly to get a Coke before the flight. When I got back the desk agent chewed me out for leaving my bag unattended. I gave it right back to him and told him sternly, "I had to go get a coke. The bag passed security." Stared right in his eyes when I said it like I was about to hop the desk and end him. Other stupid things: Cant bring anything over 3 oz. Gotta take off all your shoes jacket belt laptops everything for security. Can't have your tray down or seat back on flights. If I really wanted to make a liquid bomb, I could just get 20 other people on a flight and combine our 3 oz of liquid to get enough. Everything they do is just so fricking stupid.
How in the hell am I supposed to utilize this? 1 sq ft of bathroom space. Nothing shittier than knowing I have to take a flight

You don’t deserve this name.
And only pussies talk about ending people. A real captain just does it.

Your old lady didn't mind the tight quarters when I was banging her head on the no smoking in lavatory sign.

Reconsider posting on TD and take a bus.

Airports make it clear that this is a no-no. You would have been pissed if they would've had two armed guards waiting with M-16's on your return to take you to a backroom for questioning, ultimately causing you to miss your flight.
Take your bag with you.

If you had TSA pre check you wouldn't have to take stuff off. And before you say it isn't worth it since you don't fly much, I may fly twice a year without my wife, who I can piggy back with since she has it, and that 100 bucks is so worth it.

Try getting to Iceland in a hurry without one. One can even get to Los Angeles or New York in three hours. Get a Subaru Legacy and drive the distance. Despite a small shitey bathroom and seatbelt fasten sign, I'll continue to fly.

Leaving your bag unattended isn't smart. Even pre 9/11, this was a no-no.

I just want to get from point A to point B. I don’t need anything other than the opinion to buy a beverage.

First time flying baw?
Posted on 11/10/19 at 7:51 am to Shreveport Captains
I don't enjoy it at all either.

I hate flying too.
- Going through security
- Worrying about flights being on time to make my connection
- Overhearing a hundred asinine conversations at once
- No fresh air from the time you step into your first airport to the time you leave your last
- Nothing to look at or do
- Shitty overpriced food and drinks
If it’s 9-10 hours or less I’ll usually drive.
Direct flights ease the annoyance of a lot of those items above but unless you live in a hub city (I don’t) those are rare.

I don't mind flying 
Don't be high-
maintenance.
Don't be an a-hole.
You'll probably have an ok time.
Yeah we're all bitched about this in fricking 2002. We deal with it (and now with pre it doesn't matter).

Modern airlines have gone to great lengths to handle people like cargo.
Cargo carriers use as little space as possible per unit of cargo, and cram as much cargo as they can into each plane. They strap the cargo down and hope that it won’t move around too much during the flight. If there’s no room for the cargo on the current airplane, they set it aside for the next airplane.
Commercial airlines do the same things with human beings. I believe they’d sedate passengers prior to takeoff if it were legal and the drugs were cheap enough. Then they could pack small passengers into the overhead bins, stack some on top of each other on the floor, and eliminate the galley and bathrooms for more cargo space.

Hold your breath, suck in your stomach and squeeze in. Nature will take care of the rest.
As you were.
