  Things I hate about flying: 1) People who take way too long at the checkin counter, who then give you dirty looks for waiting patiently behind them. 2) Ticket counter agents who make you take textbooks out of your 1 piece of checked luggage because it is 4 pounds over the wimpy 50-pound weight limit.
Hello, my empty suitcase weighs at least 25 pounds on its own, I swear. 3) People who mill around the ticket counter while waiting to board the flight.. and then when their row is called, just cut in even though you've been waiting patiently for the past 15 minutes. 4) People who get in the boarding line even when their seat number hasn't been called, just so they can be at the head of the line when it's finally their turn, some 30 minutes later. 5) Flying in general. It's bad for the skin. And even in first class, it's so damn hard to get comfortable.. 6) Parents who meet you and ask w/i five minutes if you have a drinking problem, because you have charged 6 bottles of wine to the credit card in the last 2 months.
That is *not enough upon which to base alcoholism... and sigh, if they only knew the real amount of booze being consumed. Things I like about flying: 1) Nice ticket counter agents who praise you on what they think is patience, although it is in reality silent fuming. And who let you stick your textbooks back into your checked luggage because 4 pounds is nothing. 2) Getting upgraded to 1st class even though when you called 2 months ago to attempt to upgrade, you were told that 1st class was full. 3) All the free booze in 1st class. 4) The extra leg room in 1st class, even though it's still hard to get comfortable. 5) Flying into LA at night. There's nothing like the sea of lights. You don't get it anywhere else.
