what don't you like that low level hum of anxiety like margarine scraped across cold toast
as everyone around you becomes steadily more stressed and tense as you are all funnelled through increasingly closed-in spaces with ever more densely packed queues governed by progressively more arcane rules of behaviour as your personal effects are removed from you in stages until finally you ascend, blank-eyed, grey, nearly possessionless, up some tin-can-tip-tappety steps and meet the make-up masked face of someone who smiles at you like death and lets you fold yourself into your seat, 3.5cm x 4cm on the upgrade you paid for, is that what you're saying here

OTOH, it's socially acceptable to get a pint at 7:30 a.m.
So there's that.

Ex-colleage once drank two bottles of red wine by 11 am
Caused the rest of us to miss the first plane.
He blagged some stupid sob story lies about the taxi fucking us over to the boss by phone, and got told to order some wine while the next flight was arranged.
By the time we got on the plane, he was staggering drunk and covered in red wine stains.
We got upgraded to alternate seats so we could get the fuck away from him.
After he "lost" his receipts for the expenses, the company took away all the company credit cards.
Fucking cunt.

But flying is just a series of queues
and I despise queuing.
