There are two kinds of flights: decent ones and flightmares. If you're someone who genuinely enjoys getting on a plane, you're probably kidding yourself or perhaps you didn't have to pay for your own ticket. Now, if I seem jaded or pessimistic about all of this, let's be clear about a couple of things: (1) without fail, I am always in the last boarding group; it doesn't matter how much I have paid for these tickets because this always happens to be the case; (2) I am also always seated next to…

This flight attendant had an interesting way of keeping her passengers from tiring her out. Being a flight attendant is a job that's often glorified. Flight attendants can travel anywhere in the world with their job. And how hard could it be to serve people chips and sodas? Pretty hard, as it turns out, thanks to passengers who don't respect flight attendants and treat them like they're just there to serve the almighty passenger. There's a specific order that flight attendants have to do their…

Flight attendants are usually pretty smiley, nice, and overall helpful, as long as you don't do something to leave them with a sour taste in their mouths. The same goes for anyone working in customer service, or hosting, of any kind. I can tell you that back when I was a waitress, a big grin and a kind word went a long way. If an entitled Karen showed up, I would not go out of my way to do a good job, but rather, I might have opted to be petty, and he or she would have been none the wiser. One…

Airport security is full of arbitrary rules. Having to pay ridiculous fees in order to make your luggage ever so slightly lighter is just one of many. Let's not forget that there is also all the TSA nonsense, and sometimes, the rules are wildly different depending on the airport. Sometimes you have to put all your bags in one cart, sometimes you have to separate everything, and sometimes they're so backed up that no one has to take their shoes off (which makes you question the effectiveness of…

Flying is stressful enough already — but these airline passengers just couldn't agree on their seating arrangements. When you're taking a vacation or a work trip, often times you'll need to book a flight. It can make it way faster to get to your destination, but it's not a perfect system. Flying is pricey, so you want to get the best experience possible after paying hundreds of dollars for your seat. That's what u/DinckinFlikka was expecting when he flew for a work trip. He had a good reason fo…

Being stuck on a plane with a screaming baby is certainly headache-inducing, but it is never reason enough to throw your own tantrum. Babies get a free pass when it comes to sobbing uncontrollably because most of the time, they have no idea what's even happening. Grown men, on the other hand, do not get to make everyone's flight experience a complex mess and a half. But that's exactly what this Kevin did in this viral video . You can even see the passenger seated next to him, who appears to be…

If you've ever had a roommate who doesn't know how to cook or clean since their mom always did that for them, these stories are for you. Some people are born into entitled families , or are born with an immense amount of privilege. As a kid, their parents do everything for them. Then, when the kid grows up and embarks upon their journey into adulthood, it's clear that they're spoiled and clueless about how the real world actually works. I knew a dude in college who was only failing classes beca…

You might have heard from a wise person once that the golden rule of life is: “Don't be a jerk." Well, we agree with that person and is applies to many other life experiences. For example, flying. When you are going on a trip and have to fly, going to the airport can be stressful for everyone involved. You don't know the situation of each passenger or employee. So, it's best to approach it with kindness and patience, or else everybody, including yourself, is going to have a bad time. A perfect…

If you comply with company rules, then you're all set and good to go, right? Well, not always. Sometimes your circumstances change, and what I mean by that is there can be a metamorphosis, a transformation, from old, to new, to ugly. In even simpler terms, new authority sucks. One person got a set of instructions, hot off the press, that didn't resemble the instructions they were used to in the past, and those instructions led to a whole lot of cash being extracted from company expenses. u/Impo…

When you have an annoying few moments , don't let it ruin your whole day. You only have so many minutes in a day, and if you spend it ruminating on something that ticked you off, you're wasting your precious time. Instead, do what these folks did: share your mildly infuriating moment with the internet. Misery loves company, and there's plenty of different infuriating moments that people have brought to the table lately. One that sparked lots of attention was the person who was stuck at a rainy…

People you work with will have certain expectations of you, and when given the opportunity, can cause a few inconveniences if and when you don't meet said expectations… in other words, people like to be petty. In this case, OP got as petty as petty can get, when she got a shot at making a former coworker's life a little harder than it needed to be. Back in the day, OP was working as a supervisor at a company, and her job included a lot of travel. There was a conference she needed to get to, so…

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high.

Everyone wishes and hopes for an empty seat next to them on a flight. If you're traveling alone and it's not a full flight, you immediately find yourself praying to whomever and thinking about all the reasons in your head about why you deserve this, that you've been good this year… Yes, getting the row to yourself on a plane is the adult version of a Christmas miracle. Now, the level of predictability when it comes to how full your flight might be obviously varies. This larger passenger insiste…

There is nothing joyful about a 12-hour flight, but this guy's seatmate certainly made things worse for everyone.

Bureaucratic bean-counting threatens every employee's work-life balance, for none more than the traveling salesmen of the world. To be totally frank, there's always a disconnect between the bean-counters of a company and the footmen because financial decisions are made in an office whereas the salespeople are out there in the trenches. The man in the field can see a bit more clearly than the man on the sidelines...

Good afternoon passengers, this is the pre-boarding announcement for all travelers heading to GetWrecked City. Please fasten your seatbelts for this in-flight entertainment.
