After safely returning from a flight from the Twin Cities, we were intrigued by this article about the common practice of loony people attempting to open airplane doors during flights. Thankfully, we have never encountered anyone who has attempted do to this, nor would we ever consider doing it (we can barely figure out how to open the bathroom doors on planes). We suspect the “blabby” flight attendants might have something to do with this, as they are always quick to point out where all the doors can be found.
We actually don’t like sitting anywhere near airplane doors,especially since we found out they usually come with added responsibilities. “Look, I don’t want the responsibility of sitting in this wing seat. I’m a Libra and indecisive,” said Patty on our last flight after learning she would be responsible for opening the doors in a crisis.
Personally, neither of us enjoying flying; we just like to get it over with. Patty especially. “Alright, close the door. Let’s get this human petri dish in the air so we can get home.”
What do you hate most about flying?
I thought of both of you when I was hearing several different news storied on people attempting strange things on planes. One was a person trying to get in the cockpit (thought maybe Gina was going to help the pilot since she drives so well). Then, considered one sister trying to escape the other when you couldn”t decide who the smart one was (I have no opinion in that matter, lol). Gad to hear neither of you were the person of interest in those stories!
btw…who would want to use an airplane bathroom???
I hate that the service has deteriorated so much since I first got on an airplane all those years ago. It used to be a luxurious experience with GOOD food and pampering! Now you not only pay for that bag, you have to carry it yourself. And if you get hungry? Tough.
Haha- the few times I’ve flown I’ve always thought I didn’t want the added stress and responsibility of that seat, either.
