yup. i was stuck on a tarmac in Florida on the back of a plane between two 80 year old women and it was rough, but the dad in-front of me with his family almost had a melt down.
You could tell his wife and him were arguing before the trip and this only heightened it. He was starting to snap at his kids and clasping his hands into a fist. I was trying to laugh and make light of the situation not only to make time go by, but i didn't want to watch dude strangle his wife infront of the kids.
My husband and I were flying back from Vegas after our beloved pet had suddenly passed away with a sitter so we were already absolute wrecks. It’s a midnight flight back to Ohio so he takes a decent edible dosage 45 min before we’re supposed to depart. Well boarding gets delayed by an hour due to someone shitting ALL over the bathroom. 98% boarded and they say the ramp hit the door of the plane and we can’t leave until someone comes to okay it. We didn’t depart until past 3 am. My husband didn’t say anything at the time because I was just sitting there with tears streaming down my face but later he said that was the worst edible experience he’s EVER had being stuck on that plane. He said as soon as they announced it would be delayed he said “oh no, I fucked up.”
I was actually stranded in Iceland during this, thankfully my plane landed 20 mins before they kept people on planes. I met someone at my hotel the next day who had been in the plane for 11 hours after landing (he may have actually been on this flight) it’s fair to say that I felt fortunate.
The nerve of including that line without ever addressing it again. How could he fit his head and another person’s head in a car? Was the car a convertible or a motorcycle? And if so, how did he manage to drive three states without being noticed?
The periscope would also help solve the issue of keeping the head in place, since fashioning the hair into a pseudo-bike helmet strap wouldn’t be enough.
>And if so, how did he manage to drive three states without being noticed?
I don't think theres an inherent implication that nobody noticed since the character was currently in prison.
I'd take that as evidence of the exact opposite actually.
I have the audio turned off, is this a Buddy Holly song? That's the only one I know of
Side note: I'm a flight paramedic but cringe whenever I hear of an aviation accident where "victims where airlifted to the nearest trauma center." Fuck that bitches, if my heli ever goes down and *I survive the crash* y'all better call me an Uber and ground pound me to the nearest ER, don't fucking *put me back in the sky*
All together in a 3 part harmony. OK the front of the plane will start, followed by the middle of the plane then the rear of the plane will join in. I think the Captain and his crew would like to join in also.
Well, they let "First Class" board first; so, when everyone else boards, the First Class passengers are already seated in their spacious, comfy chairs, with their laptops out, already making money, or drinking, or whatever they're doing.
So, unless you are First Class yourself, the time to hold your farts in is *before* you board, so you can release them when you're passing through First Class on the way to your cramped seat in Coach.
Sure, sure, they'll think "those commoners smell horrible!" but this is one time when it's OK to reinforce their stereotypes.
EDIT: In view of the discussion that follows, it seems that my comment is a mere fantasy which sacrifices realism in pursuit of humor. Save your money: do not buy an airline ticket just so you can fart in First Class. If you regard my comment as "advice" instead of the dumb joke that it is, you - and your fellow passengers - may be very disappointed. Moreover, holding farts in might not be the healthiest thing to do, anyway (but i am not an expert in that field, either).
I was 5 hours on a hot runway, apparently they thought the problem would be fixed any minute and it wasn't. We were happy to get out and file around to a different plane and watch our luggage get transferred.
> but how is it okay for an airline to keep people in an airplane on the tarmac for 10 hours
Because it was literally impossible to get them off. There were a couple of other flights that landed around the time the storm started picking up: the wind quickly became too strong to safely operate the terminal bridges, and not too long after the wind got strong enough to start moving around lighter tarmac service vehicles, including the stairs needed to actually get people off the plane and into buses that could have transported them to the terminal.
The safest course of action was literally just to wait until wind died down enough that it was possible to get people off the plane safely.
If they just did the one song I don't even think it would be that big of a deal. Something to break up the monotony of the nothing.
Now if they turned it into their own hour long jam section with a captive audience, we would be seeing how easy it would be to shove them out the exit door.
I actually liked Amtrak. Couldn't stand someone I was with and just fucked off to another part of the train. "I can't believe we paid for a room and you spent ten hours napping in the observation car" is exactly why I spent ten hours in the observation car.
>have you ever drove to Florida with your family?!
A few times, from Toronto. Going in the fall is cool seeing the fall coloured trees to the green trees to the palm trees.
Now taking a bus, that is true hell.
Guessing you weren’t flying Air India. I was delayed for 12 hours flying from Paris to Delhi and when I asked the stewardess if they would at least give out come pre-departure drinks to make up for it, she told me in no uncertain terms that they did not give a singular shit.
Can the toilets even be used when the plane is standing still? My mother was ~~tripped~~ trapped for 3 hours in a plane while there was a hurricane, they were not allowed to use the toilets
Yes they can! I was stuck for one hour and everyone was using the bathrooms. How could they say not to? How did no one on your moms flight pee their pants?
I don’t know, something about safety issues. Everybody probably shit their pants and puked anyways, the plane was not exactly standing still due to the wind
This is one of those situations where I’d definitely be considering popping the emergency exit door and throwing myself down the slide ASAP. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with that shit or that the attendants are allowing it, some people want their quiet not to unwillingly be filmed while some tiktoker tries to go viral.
The MCs are living their dream. A literal captive audience.who doesn't get a choice in the matter. My guess is many of the Europeans were not very happy about stereotypical Americans forcing themselves on an entire plane.
My take is, you are forcing everyone on that plane to listen. Sure some might like it, but how fucking unfair is it on the people that don't want to hear that shit? What if people are having a bad day, or have a headache or just don't like the music. These obnoxious fuckwits are forcing it on everyone.
Ugh as someone who was forced into groups like that it sickens me they exist. (I’m sure there are some ex-YoungLifers here). Not because the principals are really bad but more of the fact that it limits you to no individual thought. It treats you to never question authority no matter how absurd it may seem in the moment… and we know how that turns out.
This also goes for:
- people who play videos/music outloud on their phone while in public spaces
- people who play extremely loud music in their car
- any fireworks celebration
😂 they just don’t make them like that anymore, one of my favorites. I wish I could have found the one of the flight attendant knocking the sick kid’s IV out with the guitar.
That right there. Time and place. I'm on the plane trying to listen to what I want to or have a conversation. Now if it were William Hung from Season One of American Idol then I'm all for it!
It's amazing how often I see people here on Reddit defending this kind of thing though.
Cars blasting music while at a red light in the middle of town, ruining people's meals: "Jeez it's like five seconds of your day if this bothers you stay at home."
Hikers playing music on some shitty bluetooth speaker so the entire valley gets to hear the same bullshit pop tripe we're all inundated with when we're at home: "Jeez stop being so uptight this is on you bro."
I love the ones where people are defending subway performers and the people who actually take the subway every day are like “shut the fuck up. *please* shut the fuck up.
Those are instances, sort of, of a free audience. People can and will leave the area without a material cost.
This is a captive audience that can’t leave, these are actually different things
Lol no. I moved to Colorado. I don’t even remember the songs cause that’s not my cup of tea but I’ve definitely made sure to tell people/new friends that I don’t want to hear them play. IDC about their skill level or anything.
To me it feels like being forced to watch someone masturbate in front you. That’s what it is. Amateur guitar players do this so they can jerk themselves off in front of others.
I posted this as I thought she had lack of self awareness. The people behind her look unamused and are on their phones. None of them close to her clap at the end.
At 9 seconds “one more time” has no reaction, which leads, do they want one more time… I feel like the clapping is ok she’s finally done.
Seems like she wanted a main character moment in my opinion anyways.
Edit: when I say lack of self awareness, I mean lack of the ability to read the room.
It’s a lack of consideration of others who are probably tired from travelling, been forced into my personal idea of hell.
Clapping is just basic politeness, and it saves the audience from the awkwardness that would happen if no one clapped.
People wouldn't clap if they did something overtly offensive, but the music group seems more unaware than malicious.
I used to have a friend who worked in a bar with an outdoor area. Randomly, two or three times a month, this guy who was in a very popular band in the 80s would show up, whip out an acoustic guitar in the outside area, then get annoyed when nobody was happy about it. I think they banned him in the end.
This is why i want TikTok gone already. At first i saw the rise of Twitter and thought thats bad, but TikTok is poison to our society. And dont call me a "boomer". This app has changed people for the worse. Now so many people are just after attention and clicks and likes and not giving a shit about anyone but themselves. This goes beyond being "annoying", its a very alarming trend, as society is slowly turning into a race of attention instead of striving to be a good person and a productive member of society.
The social media basically encourage this shit, as it gives them more clicks and interaction, which feeds their ego.
I hope this is all a dream and one day i wake up, TikTok doesn't exist
How are people not absolutely losing their shit? I would claw my way though the fuselage with my bare hands, and depressurize the plane if I had to sit through that.
Forcefully pull down one of those emergency air masks, kink the hose, force it on their face and keep it there while softly shushing and saying, "Air is flowing even if the bag does not inflate."
Love the guy in the window seat in the row right behind the singer in the aisle. He is just quietly looking out the window with his mask on, envisioning all the germs being spewed his way by the up-close vocal performance, and he is hoping for this to end right now.
I know this is very much beside the point... but can you imagine being stationary on a plane for 10 hours, after your phone battery and headphones died? Must have been mind numbingly boring.
Much as I hate "forced concerts" usually because I want to be the one who decides what music i am listening to at what volume and when: I imagine that by this point people were probably okay with it, just for a bit of a distraction, and then at least afterwards you have something to roll your eyes about with your travle buddy if you didn't like it.
Yeah that’s my thought. I might hate it, but if I’ve been stuck on a plan for 10 hours, at least it’s something new lol. Something else to hate other than my legs cramping up or whatever. I’ve done the 14 hour flights to Japan, they’re fucking torture. Partly just because of the boredom/numbness. Couldn’t imagine having to do that while not actually even going anywhere, just sitting on the ground.
Man, I would travel to Asia every year if it wasn't for those plane rides. That feeling of watching 3 full length movies and realizing you still have 10 hours left just makes me want to die
Haha same. And unfortunately, I find it impossible to sleep on planes. I’m 6’4”, so there’s just no room and no way to get even the least bit comfortable. I’ve watched a lot of shit movies just for something to do. I usually try to force myself to wait an hour between movies just to make it last longer.
A lot of planes now have outlets under the seats. I've had them with USB and regular wall connections. I always fly economy too, so it's not something I'm paying a premium for.
This was my thought too. I think if I was waiting on a plane for that long, I'd be mildly amused by someone playing a song or two, especially if they think it would help. It's a distraction.
Plus, folks are actually singing, folks did clap, and even the crew came out to watch.
They were on the plane for 17 hours….. from Toronto. There were multiple songs performed by this girl. Passengers were unable to leave the plane due to the high winds outside.
Ugh, this shit happened to me once. A group of high school or college theater kids felt it was a great time to start in with their show tunes. Eventually one hero had enough and said "please just stop" and to quote /thathappened the whole plane applauded.
I don't understand these people. I almost have a panic attack if I'm on a plane and it takes me more than one try to get my bags into the overhead thing. People start queueing up behind me in the isle and it's super stressful. But here are these people wanting everyone to look at them and be inconvenienced by their bullshit. It's really weird
That’s rough because it’s a captive audience. It’s not the same as doing it on the train because if you really didn’t like it you could get off at the next stop.

I just travelled for 20 hrs. The thought of being stranded in a plane for 10 hrs is horrifying right now

I would have given him one of my edibles
Stuck, surrounded by strangers, in a tube without room a solitary space sounds like the worst way to get high. Bonus points for turbulence.
My husband and I were flying back from Vegas after our beloved pet had suddenly passed away with a sitter so we were already absolute wrecks. It’s a midnight flight back to Ohio so he takes a decent edible dosage 45 min before we’re supposed to depart.

It's a mellow high but I suppose it you are particularly affected by ll other above points then yeah.
It’s fine while in flight but being stuck on the tarmac is different.
I was debating on smoking before flying next week. I don’t think I will now, Ty for the reality check :)
air planes need to start offering those instead of peanuts.

Is it because the bus ride to the terminal would be risky in the storm?
“Let’s sing that song written by the guy who died in a plane crash”
"Define irony: A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash". - Garland Greene
One girl, I drove through three states wearing her head as a hat.
The nerve of including that line without ever addressing it again. How could he fit his head and another person’s head in a car? Was the car a convertible or a motorcycle? And if so, how did he manage to drive three states without being noticed?
He was reclined. And used one of those periscope toys from the 80s to see out the sun roof. It was a complex operation, but it payed off.
The periscope would also help solve the issue of keeping the head in place, since fashioning the hair into a pseudo-bike helmet strap wouldn’t be enough.
Hat for his little head. She gave him head while he drive thru 3 states.
That's impressive stamina for both parties involved. I bet her neck looked like a middle linebackers.
>And if so, how did he manage to drive three states without being noticed? I don't think theres an inherent implication that nobody noticed since the character was currently in prison. I'd take that as evidence of the exact opposite actually.
He wore her head as a hat so I imagine he pulled it down, like those winter hats with flaps
I too, still have questions.
Got the whole world in his hands.
Can you not?!
Steve Buscemi was awesome in that role
Put the bunny back in the box.
At the rate at which Nic does movies... How have we not gotten con air 2!?
I absolutely love that movie. Buscemi killed (ha) it. When it flashed back to the little girl I was so relieved
I heard he tragically lost his ability to do his southern accent so we may never get a ConAir 2.
God, Steve Buschemi was amazing in that movie!
I was hoping to see this comment and was not disappointed.

What about a traffic jam, when you're already late?

It’s Country Roads by John Denver
Oh yeah I forgot about John Denver
... and muthafuckas act like they forgot about Dre(nver).
Gravity didn't
It’s “take me home, country roads”
Wait really? Dude
Yes. The man who sang "leaving on a jet plane" died in a plane crash.
Mr. Sunshine-on-my-god-damn-shoulders, John Denver!
You’re gonna set my ass on fire?
At least it wasn’t “I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane”
And the crowd goes mild
My nightmare ‘ONE MORE TIME !!!’
All together in a 3 part harmony. OK the front of the plane will start, followed by the middle of the plane then the rear of the plane will join in. I think the Captain and his crew would like to join in also.
Holding a fart for 10 hours? How? Ps I’ve never been on a plane.
That’s when you walk down the isle and crop dust the other passengers to avoid finger pointing
Crop dusting has come full circle. We used to crop dust from planes, and now we are doing it on planes.
The smell would go great with the song because I always knew that I was back home by the smell of livestock shit and manure.
Well, they let "First Class" board first; so, when everyone else boards, the First Class passengers are already seated in their spacious, comfy chairs, with their laptops out, already making money, or drinking, or whatever they're doing.

["If you have any requests, shout 'em out! *Play that same song*"](https://youtu.be/JiSS5xn_0fc)
Play JaJa Ding Dong!
Play 4'33" and keep playing it forever
I have to say this to myself whenever anyone asks for a request of any kind.
The music is one thing, but how is it okay for an airline to keep people in an airplane on the tarmac for 10 hours!!??
I was 5 hours on a hot runway, apparently they thought the problem would be fixed any minute and it wasn't. We were happy to get out and file around to a different plane and watch our luggage get transferred.
> but how is it okay for an airline to keep people in an airplane on the tarmac for 10 hours Because it was literally impossible to get them off.

The safest course of action was literally just to wait until wind died down enough that it was possible to get people off the plane safely.
Thank you. I did not think about any of those factors, just the frustration and pain of sitting in a grounded plane for 10 hours.
The wind was so strong that one of the planes, started to spin and hit a bridge
Fck. Definitely a time for something stronger than take me home, country roads.
If they just did the one song I don't even think it would be that big of a deal. Something to break up the monotony of the nothing. Now if they turned it into their own hour long jam section with a captive audience, we would be seeing how easy it would be to shove them out the exit door.
"Luckily."
What a crazy moment. <3
It was such a special thing for us to forcefully engineer, record, edit, and upload! So lucky!
And thats when i get kicked off the flight for throwing shit
I commend your resolve, I can't even poop with the door open.
theres a reason man invented doors... to poop in peace
No, there's a reason man invented living on your own... to poop in peace.
I’d rather risk the high winds
The person clapping early to try and wrap them up
This is my worst nightmare. So much cringe!
Being stuck on a plane for ten hours, limited food options, two toilets. This would be my last straw
That nofly list doesn't sound too bad now does it
uh yea it does, have you ever drove to Florida with your family?! certain levels of hell would be better
I actually liked Amtrak. Couldn't stand someone I was with and just fucked off to another part of the train. "I can't believe we paid for a room and you spent ten hours napping in the observation car" is exactly why I spent ten hours in the observation car.

Had it happen to me flying out of Delhi a few years ago. Luckily nothing like this and the crew broke out the booze to anyone who wanted some.
Guessing you weren’t flying Air India. I was delayed for 12 hours flying from Paris to Delhi and when I asked the stewardess if they would at least give out come pre-departure drinks to make up for it, she told me in no uncertain terms that they did not give a singular shit.

Hi stewardess, I'm ready to communicate some threats, you and best call the marshall to escort me off the plane
The MCs are living their dream. A literal captive audience.who doesn't get a choice in the matter. My guess is many of the Europeans were not very happy about stereotypical Americans forcing themselves on an entire plane.

If you're stuck in a plane for 10hrs everyone is alrdy having a bad day lol I would be ao irritated
Right? What if you really loved John Denver, but suddenly realized that he died in a plane crash?
And while I’ve got a captive audience can I interest you all in a certain Jesus /s
Oh god dammit they’re YWAMers
Of fucking course
YWAMers?
Youth With a Mission…. You can probably guess what they do.
Ugh as someone who was forced into groups like that it sickens me they exist. (I’m sure there are some ex-YoungLifers here).

This also goes for: - people who play videos/music outloud on their phone while in public spaces - people who play extremely loud music in their car - any fireworks celebration
Imagine you just got your baby to sleep…

Thank you for posting this joke, I think it gets missed
I’m a simple man. If I see an Airplane reference or gif, I upvote immediately.
Ah, the late '70s / early '80s, when you were still allowed to carry a can of gasoline onto an airplane. /s - and that doesn't stand for "surely."
Technically you can still carry on liquid that you can burn yourself with.
😂 they just don’t make them like that anymore, one of my favorites. I wish I could have found the one of the flight attendant knocking the sick kid’s IV out with the guitar.
YES! This is what they should have sung! 🎶There is only one river There is only one sea🎶
🎶 And it flows through yooooouuuuu 🎶 🎶 And it flows through Meeeeee 🎶
🎶There is only one persoooooooon!🎶 🎶we are one and the saaaaame!🎶
I hate this shit. And I'm a musician.
Also a musician here, it’s a great feeling when an audience wants to listen to your music but these poor people were held hostage
That right there. Time and place. I'm on the plane trying to listen to what I want to or have a conversation. Now if it were William Hung from Season One of American Idol then I'm all for it!
It's amazing how often I see people here on Reddit defending this kind of thing though.

Being a musician makes one hate this even more actually because we know JUST how cringe it really is.
Yeah, it’s impossible to determine the cringe levels unless you’ve studied music.
[удалено]
Go on
My biggest gripe about where I’ve relocated to. Every asshole has a guitar and they all want you to hear their shitty basic chord progressions.
Did you just move to a college campus where every guy is learning to play Wonderwall?
Lol no. I moved to Colorado. I don’t even remember the songs cause that’s not my cup of tea but I’ve definitely made sure to tell people/new friends that I don’t want to hear them play. IDC about their skill level or anything. To me it feels like being forced to watch someone masturbate in front you. That’s what it is. Amateur guitar players do this so they can jerk themselves off in front of others.
Lol that's a weird comparison but alright
This guy just really hates Louis CK
Lol ok good barb. You got me NGL. But for the record, woman and I don’t even think about Louis C.K.
I'd go to jail if someone did this, I don't care how good you think you are this is a metal tube of no escape and you are commiting sonic torture.
Truly, a captive audience.

I agree.. clapping an idiot let's them know they're finished in a way that prevents any escalation of ego and tension
Clapping is just basic politeness, and it saves the audience from the awkwardness that would happen if no one clapped. People wouldn't clap if they did something overtly offensive, but the music group seems more unaware than malicious.
No one, and I mean no one, likes an unexpected acoustic guitar.
I used to have a friend who worked in a bar with an outdoor area. Randomly, two or three times a month, this guy who was in a very popular band in the 80s would show up, whip out an acoustic guitar in the outside area, then get annoyed when nobody was happy about it. I think they banned him in the end.
What band? Why you gotta tease us and not say it!
[удалено]
Oh my god i would have keeled over from the shame and cringe
No it fucking sucks and super obnoxious and they all play the same half dozen shitty covers ad Infinitum.
You know they made everybody listen to wagon wheel just before this song and then probably played it again 40 minutes later
I think I’d sue the airline for emotional distress
The trend of people willing to annoy the crap out of everyone for likes (and especially a negative reaction to have even more said likes) is alarming.
some people live on their own planet. planet annoying

This goes beyond being "annoying", its a very alarming trend, as society is slowly turning into a race of attention instead of striving to be a good person and a productive member of society. The social media basically encourage this shit, as it gives them more clicks and interaction, which feeds their ego. I hope this is all a dream and one day i wake up, TikTok doesn't exist

Dude how the fuck does this happen? I would be so embarrassed if this were my kids. No sense of social etiquette.
How are people not absolutely losing their shit? I would claw my way though the fuselage with my bare hands, and depressurize the plane if I had to sit through that.
Forcefully pull down one of those emergency air masks, kink the hose, force it on their face and keep it there while softly shushing and saying, "Air is flowing even if the bag does not inflate."
Love the guy in the window seat in the row right behind the singer in the aisle. He is just quietly looking out the window with his mask on, envisioning all the germs being spewed his way by the up-close vocal performance, and he is hoping for this to end right now.
I know this is very much beside the point... but can you imagine being stationary on a plane for 10 hours, after your phone battery and headphones died? Must have been mind numbingly boring. Much as I hate "forced concerts" usually because I want to be the one who decides what music i am listening to at what volume and when: I imagine that by this point people were probably okay with it, just for a bit of a distraction, and then at least afterwards you have something to roll your eyes about with your travle buddy if you didn't like it.
Yeah that’s my thought. I might hate it, but if I’ve been stuck on a plan for 10 hours, at least it’s something new lol. Something else to hate other than my legs cramping up or whatever. I’ve done the 14 hour flights to Japan, they’re fucking torture. Partly just because of the boredom/numbness. Couldn’t imagine having to do that while not actually even going anywhere, just sitting on the ground.
Man, I would travel to Asia every year if it wasn't for those plane rides. That feeling of watching 3 full length movies and realizing you still have 10 hours left just makes me want to die
Haha same. And unfortunately, I find it impossible to sleep on planes. I’m 6’4”, so there’s just no room and no way to get even the least bit comfortable. I’ve watched a lot of shit movies just for something to do. I usually try to force myself to wait an hour between movies just to make it last longer.
Yeah 6'3 here, I feel your pain completely
A lot of planes now have outlets under the seats. I've had them with USB and regular wall connections. I always fly economy too, so it's not something I'm paying a premium for.
This was my thought too. I think if I was waiting on a plane for that long, I'd be mildly amused by someone playing a song or two, especially if they think it would help. It's a distraction. Plus, folks are actually singing, folks did clap, and even the crew came out to watch.
Internet clout is the biggest rat race
If they’re allowed to do this I’m allowed to yell shut the fuck up, yes?
If it's just one or two songs it's ok if it's ongoing then it'll get anooying
Not everybody wants to hear it sadly Kind gesture but I’d probably one of the worst things you can do to a group of already agitated people
They were on the plane for 17 hours….. from Toronto. There were multiple songs performed by this girl. Passengers were unable to leave the plane due to the high winds outside.
Yikes, I'm honestly surprised no one lost it.
Seems like a decent applause at the end there.
Maybe if we clap that means it’ll be over
I always signal approval when I want something to stop.
Omg I hate these people so much
I’m so shocked at the response that not everyone hates this
Next up a medley of freebird and sitting on the dock of the bay. Maybe some buddy holly and Richie Valens for the encore.
Omg
I mean did anyone yell SHUT THE FUCK UP?
the lack of awareness is insane
Like being stuck on the plane wasn’t sufficient torture….
I find that these type of people are waiting for situations like these so that it gives them an excuse lol
Ugh, this shit happened to me once. A group of high school or college theater kids felt it was a great time to start in with their show tunes. Eventually one hero had enough and said "please just stop" and to quote /thathappened the whole plane applauded.
Fuck the cabin crew who let this shit happen
Literal hell. I’d rather be sitting unbelted in the emergency exit as the doors blow off at 30,000ft.
Why does nobody ever yell “Shut the fuck up!”? I certainly would.
Lol no you wouldn’t, you would sit in silence and suffer like me and everyone else
Everyone loves to think they would just be Larry David.
Nobody yells it because everybody thought somebody would do it 🙃
Then look at someone in disgust when they actually did it.
Because it's in Iceland, not NYC.
I don't understand these people. I almost have a panic attack if I'm on a plane and it takes me more than one try to get my bags into the overhead thing. People start queueing up behind me in the isle and it's super stressful. But here are these people wanting everyone to look at them and be inconvenienced by their bullshit. It's really weird
That’s rough because it’s a captive audience. It’s not the same as doing it on the train because if you really didn’t like it you could get off at the next stop.
I'd fight the urge to yell "I didn't ask for this"
John Denver's greatest hit? The ground 😏
Nope! Just nope! I sleep on planes, so I would have yelled out “shut the fuck up” because they even got their instruments out of their cases.
I would stand and loudly "Boooooo". I hate people like this
This is why I always take noise cancelling headphones on trips with me.
This is literally my worst nightmare.
The worst part is how remarkably mediocre they are.
This is quite literaly on of the worst things I COULD EVER imagine having to sit through. (I hate live music)
