On the flight home this morning, I was unfortunate enough to have a bleeder sit next to me. By bleeder, I mean he was invading my space because he was large and his body was spilling over into my seat. I've seen worse cases than what I had today but let's hear your experiences.
We don't have these problems in 1st Class.
Speaking of hungover...
I had a flight from Manchester, Eng to DC a couple years ago. Well the night before I had a few too many, and by the time I woke up at the airport the slight case of alcohol poisoning kicked in. To put it lightly, after not getting to "distress bag" in time, a bit landed on my future girlfriend.
That was my worst flight, and her's too.
I hate you.

Hey, go back to DU, newbie! :-)
/piling on from other thread
Lordy, you sure do travel overseas a lot. Ever consider seeing the Grand Canyon? Going to Wally World?
Speaking of Southwest, I miss the comedy routines the crew would perform before, during and after a flight. Another thing 9/11 tood from us.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Southwest flight *** from Los Angeles to Houston. Our flying time is 3 hours and 15 minutes. The weather condition in Houston is expected to be... etc.
This is a non-smoking, non-complaining, non-whining flight. Please keep your seat in an upright position during take-off and landing. If you are not sure that your seat is upright, just adjust it to the most uncomfortable position. Keep your seat belts fastened when the seat belt sign is on and preferably at all times. Seat belts should be fastened low and tight - just as J.Lo wears her pants.
In case of a sudden fall in air pressure in the cabin, oxygen masks will drop from an overhead compartment. We of course don't expect air pressure to fall - otherwise we would have stayed home. But just in case this happens, please attach your own mask and breathe normally -yeah, right! Then help your "husband" and children to put on their masks.
If the aircraft should land in water and evacuation becomes necessary, the seat cushion under your seat can be used as a flotation device. Please strap it on and "kick, paddle, kick, paddle" to the nearest shore. A Southwest employee will follow closely with complimentary peanuts and drinks. If you have more than one child accompanying you, pick up the one with most potential.
Now please relax and enjoy your flight. Remember, you are very sleepy (snore), you are not at all thirsty (snore) and peanuts give you gas (snore).... Thank you for flying Southwest."
Aaahhh man, now I'm drooling.......
Go down few drinks with Millee and come back and tell us your best ones.
When my daughter was 18 months, we flew back from Chicago to Phoenix. My daughter threw up and screamed for the entire flight. I've never taken her back on a plane since and that was 9 years ago.
I'm a big guy, maybe if you're a runt you may think me a 'bleeder', and on this flight a mother was separated from her youngster. I gave up my seat for seat unseen. I found I'd traded my nice isle/bulkhead seat for one in-between two dudes who made me look shrimpish. I took my lumps and sat without complaint. Just before launch the stew invited me to a fresh seat, in business class. I was treated so nicely on that flight, and feed kosher meals, of which heretofore I had been unaware. Since then, everytime I booked a flight I've requested the kosher meals and find them much better than normal airline fare.
Nah, I'm a giggly drunk, people will probably just want to smack us! :-)
That would be fun. We could line up like they did in "Airplane!"
LOL !!
Red eye from Minneapolis-St Paul to Tampa Bay. Stuck in the middle seat between to 300 pounders. They were so large I couldn't even sit back in my chair. I had to sleeping bent over with my elbows on my legs and my head down between my knees....
