re: Airport Madness......Weirdest thing you've ever seen at the airport/while flying

I haven't seen anything too weird. There was a couple in the Houston airport that were carrying on a giant piñata. It was very sparkly. Another time I was going through TSA and the agent started yelling at me "MAM REMOVE YOUR CAMISOLE!" I look questioningly at him so confused and he just gets louder and more panicked. "REMOVE YOUR CAMISOLE!" Turns out, he meant cardigan. Luckily, I wasn't stripped searched.

I've been to Europe before, and India. I think I know how it goes for stink potential.

If possible, splurge on first class. Wish I had.

Too late. Was using some extra miles I had. I did check the seat map to book me some advantageous seats on the way there. Way back I get a stupid plane without that option. Probably will be terrible.

About 20 years ago was changing planes at DFW one evening. As I was checking my voice mail on a pay phone this lady next to be is absolutely working somebody over on the phone...screaming, cussing, the whole deal. After a while I just hung up because I could barely hear and didn't want to talk with that in the background. Just as I hang up this lady slams the phone down and turns around. It's Dionne Warwick!
Lord she was pissed at somebody .

The first time I flew to Kuwait it was also the first time ever flying international by myself. So there I am freaking out as its my first time in the Middle East. I land and get off the plane with no idea where to go scared as hell. Then I see this 300+lbs American in overalls with a southern pride hat on. I instantly figured everything has to be ok if he can get away with wearing that

Flying through Chicago and this kid was sitting in the departure lounge with a band hat and jacket on with all sorts of homemade alterations that looked rough.
So he gets up and takes his band hat off and he has hair that was dark brown, but had like a nasty black gel in it so it looked awful, like oil was in his hair.
He went and bought an overpriced coffee and when he walked back I realized that his wallet was stuffed with money. He had enough change to have used a L note or even a C. He had to have had a ton of money on him. It was weird.
Weird, weird, werid. He just sat there and pretended to nap while waiting for the plane. Later I just assumed he was a musician or artist of some kind all things considered, still gave me the creeps.

I was a "road warrior" style business traveler in my last job. Flying every other day and I cannot recall and so called madness. After 911 everything is so monitored that anything weird would be shutdown fast.
I did have a lady smoke cigarettes the entire flight from Denver to DFW be arrested at the gate in DFW.
I spent my layovers in DFW or ATL. DFW had hotter latina eye candy while ATL had hotter sorostitute/southern girl eye candy.

I had a lady pulled off my flight before take off because she made some anti gay remark to the flight attendant. She was drunk as hell
Also had a flight cancelled and everyone had to get off the plane because the pilot smelled like booze

Flew from Amsterdam to Karachi, Pakistan via the UAE. It was the same plane and a short connect time. 90% of the passengers got off and the plane filled with bottom of the rung Pakistanis. They turned out to be "guest workers", Pakistani laborers who do menail work in the UAE and go home maybe once a year. They were pretty much all illiterate. One of them spoke a little English and asked me to fill out his immigration form for Pakistani customs. No problem, the info was on his passport and I knew the airline info. After I was done with him the next guy hands me his paperwork and passport. This went on most of the way to Karachi, I must have filled out 25 forms. The odor on the plane as pretty incredible as well.
The return flight 2 weeks later was direct from Karachi to London. While I was in Pakistan the US had shot cruise missiles at Bin Laden in Afghanistan (this was late 1990's). The security getting off that plane was like nothing I've ever seen. Everyone getting off was looked over by at least 10 officials from probably a variety of nations. I'd be surprised if there wasn't CIA/FBI on the jetway. This was not a bunch of TSA types. They were expecting retaliation from Bin Laden and a flight from Karachi to London was an obvious route for terrorists to take. Most Americans had already been evacuated from Pakistan.

I had to fly to West Texas regularly on business. I would always buy my tickets at the last minute (Southwest). So, I got the full search. On four trips, this really stacked Mexican girl on the same flight I was on.
The last time we were both waiting to get searched, I commented "I may need to quit buying my tickets at the last minute." She said "I buy my tickets early, don't know why I'm getting searched."

The weirdest thing was traveling to Germany and getting on a DC10 that aborted its takeoff. Scared the shite out of me. No one was killed but it totaled the plane.

I thought I saw this thing on the wing one time. I was sure I was seeing things, but I kept seeing it. Like a little person, just walking around. Then it started messing with the engine. So I told a stewardess. She looked and it was gone. Then it reappeared outside my window. Then it went back to wrecking the engine, so I tried to get it's attention by attempting to bash on the window. I was then detained but we landed safe. I like to think it was because of me.
I think I saw Captain Kirk and the guy from Harry and the Hendersons too.

(The little lady from Poltergeist in the elevator at Newark airport. Looked at me and said "I'd be very careful if I was you." Freaked me out.
