Travel tip: It's time to stop air travel when you can't hold your poop!

Ewwwwwwww.....poor you!!


I think what kept me from loosing it was the
woman sitting next to the old dude sat there
with the biggest smile on her face.
I am sure she had ta have severe nasal congestion to get through it.

You just said a mouthful Shasta! I couldn't agree more.

This brings me back to the days when I was payroll manager at Montgomery Ward. Somebody blew loose inside one of the men's restroom stalls. It was BAD ya'll! All over the floor, walls.... the toilet stool...it was just EVERYWHERE. Somebody had a major bowel explosion in there. I decided to go ahead and offered to clean it up (mostly because nobody else wanted to) but I had a flight up to Grand Rapids Michigan later that day, and I didn't have time to return home between work and the time my flight departed. So.... I cleaned it up, then cleaned off my clothes the best I could, finished work and then headed to the airport. I have often times wondered what I smelled like during the flight. I don't remember anyone looking at me weird, but then again, that might just be my selective memory! :P

Children. As soon as I see children in any form or shape when traveling, I turn and go the other way. They are evil.

On one end of the spectrum, the muffuletta.  On the other end of the spectrum, the, um, other posts.

I'm in a physical tizzy from going from delectation to revulsion.  And all I was going to do was apologize for my kid kicking the back of your seat.  Or leaning on her tray table so that she jostled your seat.

K, didn't you once tell me a very funny name you had for the rigors of traveling with children?

ROTFLMAO!  :laugh: I have been literally screaming with laughter here. I'm positive I wouldn't be laughing if those things had happened to me. But as they didn't  happen to me . . . . .  :laugh:

Thanks for posting your funny (appalling?) travel stories, everyone. I'm heading off to bed with a big ole smile on my face tonight.  :laugh:

Still laughing . . . . .  :laugh:

Flightmare.

When my sons were 1 and 2 we went to the Virgin Islands. It required an all-day, several-legged flight. We made it, but I so dreaded the return trip that I was tempted to call home and have them sell all our stuff and we'd just settle there in idyllic St. John (I was tempted to do this for other reasons, as well).




Back to the other end of the spectrum. This actually happened not to me but to a friend of mine. Someone on her flight threw up all over the place. So the flight attendant went over, looked at the mess, flung up her hands, cried, "I can't handle this!" turned around and ran away!

Flightmare, that's it!  :)  Good one.

Mini-Meno has matured so much now, that I'm thinking of taking a 32 hour train trip with her.

I have always wondered if people traveling with children notice that people try to not sit close to them etc?

I always try to be descrete with my childrenphobia ;D when traveling, but I somtimes wonder if they notice anyways :P

I try to notice the people who wish we weren't nearby, and try to accommodate them.
