Traveling Sucks

Some random thoughts on traveling in this day and age:

• Young(er) people don't know how to turn off their fancy smart phones. (Hint: putting it in airplane mode is not turning it off. Turning it off is turning it off.)
• An $8 fruit and cheese platter that sounds ridiculous on the ground is a luxurious feast halfway through a 4-hour flight
• If you have a bladder the size of a walnut, request an aisle seat
• Zone 2 people don't like having to wade through a crowd of zone 4 and 5 people to board the plane
• Your bag will come back around; no need to bowl people over trying to get it. It's called a carrousel for a reason
• I will shed no tears when you have to check your suitcase because the overhead bins are full after I paid $60 to check my bags at check-in
  
• No one has to use the lavatory until the seat belt sign comes on
• No one has any problem calling the bathroom a lavatory because it's on an airplane
