2 Twisters: Overpriced Coffee

I had to travel for work again last week. If you know me at all you know that I’m not a particular fan of traveling because of the process. First you are herded like cattle in line after line to get through security (and don’t even talk to be about the grossness that is taking your shoes off) and then you have to sit on an airplane for hours with a bunch of strangers. On this trip three of the most common traveling annoyances happened to me. 1) When merging two lines (you drivers out there that don’t know how to merge this is for you too) the order goes like this: person in line A, person in line B, person in line A, person in line B. It does not go like this or any other variation: person in line A, person in line A, person in line A, person in line A, person in line B squeezes through, person in line A. 2) When boarding an airplane you should never stand in the aisle and sort through your luggage. Always place your luggage in the overhead bin and sit down immediately so other passengers may take their seats in a timely orderly fashion. If you have items that you need during your flight, be sure you put them in a bag that you can easily store under your seat. 3) Never ever under ANY circumstance eat Tuna on an airplane or any other such item that has a less than pleasant odor to it (this also applies to bodily functions. Hold it in.) To the guy sitting in the row next to me, I have two words. Epic. Fail. (on the tuna, not the bodily functions, but it’s pretty much the same thing)

Other than the actually traveling part of traveling I did enjoy my trip to Seattle. If you have not been you must add it to your “oh the places you’ll go” list. It is an absolutely beautiful (and clean) city. I love how environmentally self-conscious the city is with their recycle bins and five cent bag tax to cut down on unnecessary shopping bag usage. I also love the fact that there truly is a Starbucks on every block of the city, what can I say I’m a sucker for overpriced fancy coffee drinks.
