-You end up not getting the upgrade after being 1/5 for 4 seats an hour before the flight

-The contract gate agent does not know how to add a diamond medallion to the upgrade list so she suggests he calls the 800 number. Also she gives you a blank stare when you ask her to look at how many seats are left on a flight

-You get into Atlanta 35 minutes early only to taxi around the airport and arrive at your scheduled time because there's a plane at your gate

-You get to the gate of an earlier flight and there's 1 seat left, but after the gate agent asks if you're a diamond, platinum or gold medallion and you say no, she says sorry frick off the $4500 you spent last year doesn't mean shite

-You end up on a CRJ200 next to a large man with a flight attendant that has an arse wider than the aisle

Please fill in the blank, these were all just from today (I know they're first world problems but I have to bitch somewhere). The contract gate agents and the CRJ200 got to me, cannot believe a station as big as Buffalo had 0 DL agents around. Same shite happened on American at EGE last january, that's why I switched over to DL. The CRJ200 thread on the OT made me realize today was the first flight I've had on one in probably a year and a half, will avoid like the plague. Got 4 more flights over the next few days, will update accordingly

Got stuck between 2 mouth breathers on a 15hr flight from ORD to HKG, due to a last minute schedule change. To top it off, my screen was horrible and I could only get the audio to work in both ears if I held the headphone jack tightly in place.

Most recently my flight from BTR to DCA a couple of weeks ago. My BTR/ATL leg on the afore mentioned CRJ200, got the aisle (good), seated next to an older gentleman that appeared to have been an NFL DE or NBA PF earlier in life. He was a giant. The curve of the tiny tube that plane is made from had him taking at least half the space allocated to my seat. And I've had that same flight attendant OP mentioned. At least 2 axe handles wide. Luckily she wasn't working this flight

A father was traveling with five kids. About 20 minutes before landing the five year old starts crying because his ear hurts. The teenager then proceeds to yell into his ear that the plane is going down and we're all going to die. He does this for pretty much the remaining duration of the flight. The two year old then shits his pants and the entire cabin smells like shite.

The fricking imbecile father sits in his seat like everything is business as usual and does nothing. This was in the first class cabin.

-the plane goes down. A small horde of us make it into a life raft, only after pushing past bodies and severed limbs and watching helplessly as the pilot goes down with the plane as a sign of honor. For days we float, waiting to be rescued. The sun has crisped our flesh and each of us are so hungry that the other passengers start to look delicious. But then I wonder...if I’m thinking that about them, they have to be thinking the same about me...especially Todd - I see that look in his eye. So when it’s my turn to stand watch for a rescue plane, I kill Todd. At first everyone is mad, but then they agree that we shouldn’t let Todd die in vain and we all eat him piece by piece, only to spot land 6 hours later. We, all but Todd, are eventually found and rescued, but we will never be the same...

-Also, landing at the airport only to find that your luggage was lost.

Your post made me think of the little kid in the shining "redrum, redrum, redrum!". The shite pants sounds awful

Yeah especially after you checked in 2 hours early just to be on the safe side with the luggage

Having the only empty seat on the plane right next to you, only to be filled by the last straggler to board.

My coworker sat next to someone on a cross country flight that in the first 20 minutes the colostomy bag bursted.

I was on an emergency landing in BTR in 2010 where we skid down the runway on the left wing.

Every dang time! I'm sitting there looking at my watch thinking, "close the door! It's too late for them."

Flight to FCO via Philly—we all board the transatlantic flight, only to have the captain announce that the AC needs a minor repair, so we will sit at the gate for “a bit”.....which he says will be 1/2 hour, which turns into 3(!!) hours AT THE GATE, with all of us sitting in a plane with no AC. Flight attendants are passing out cups of water, nothing else. We finally get airborne 3.5 hrs late, the restrooms are trashed and filthy by the 1/2 way point of the flight. Never been so happy to get out of a plane.

Only had one flight from hell. Got seated on a flight from Philly to Atlanta next to a chatty alcoholic lady. Would not shut up the entire flight except to slosh back more gin & tonics.

Everytime this happens to me it is always a 50-60 year old lady who had a flight delayed or cancelled and she is just trying to get home from visiting her sister.

We were corkscrewing down into Jackson Hole and the wind was so bad were getting tossed all around. One and only time I got sick on a plane.

It was equal parts turbulence and fear.
