Really, Southwest? Really?
Clearly, I am not the first person to blog about the shortcomings of Southwest Airlines. It’s just that I had a particular experience on Sunday night flying home to Chicago from Baltimore, the details of which I would rather not go into, so I will bullet-point summarize:
- overhead compartment above my seat filled with flight attendant’s bag, which could only fit horizontally; really, flight attendant? rainbow flag sticker on there, eh?
- took me about 2.8 minutes to find a place for my carry-on bag, due to situation outlined above; passenger waiting to board behind me tells me, “You’re real intelligent!”; really, guy in overalls? really?
- flight attendant mentioned above did safety lecture, and quipped, “if our flight should turn into a cruise, your seat can be used to flotation, so just kick to shore!”; really, clay aiken in a red vest? plane crash jokes on a plane? while giving the safety lecture?
- peanuts were dropped, suspiciously, directly onto and in the middle of the document i was reading by – you guessed it – the aforementioned in-flight-waiter; i’m picking up your contempt, kajagoogoo.
- woman seated next to me opted for not ONLY the Sbarro slice of supreme, but the caesar salad too. mmm, sbarro – italian for goodness.
I’m sure I’ll continue to fly with these assholes, despite this experience. I really just can’t stand the in-flight jokes.
