I feel like this is one of those AITA posts where the user probably knows what the judgment will be before they even ask. Still, whether or not they were in the wrong was decided when they chose to use a term like “manspreading” in the title. After that, the conversation was only going to go in one direction. I'm going to go ahead here and say that I don't agree with Reddit's decision. Yes, dear reader, that might surprise you, but I don't think this Original Poster was in the wrong. This state…

Houston, we've got 99 problems, but cute ears ain't one

A woman purchased herself an extra seat on her flight for her own comfort and security. She explains in her story that she is a fairly large gal and prefers using this method when she travels so that she can have a comfortable distance from other people. Unfortunately, not everyone is so careful and considerate, and it wasn't long before an entitled couple showed up and decided to help themselves to the extra seat. The girlfriend was seated next to Large Gal's second seat, and the boyfriend dec…

I love going to the airport. I know I'm in the minority, but there's something so relaxing about going through security, finding my gate, getting a little snack, walking around the terminal, and finally getting on an airplane. I don't have any flying anxiety because if the plane crashes, there is nothing I can do about it. Of all the ways to die, death by flying machine is definitely in my top 3. Unfortunately, most people do not enjoy flying as much as I do, and I understand why! Airports are…

Very few of us know what it's like to control a giant metal tube flying through the sky at incredible heights and lengths. That is probably for the best, seeing how most people behave on planes. I'm no exception to this rule! After having heard it too many times, I can barely stay awake to listen to the pre-flight safety announcement. At least I'm not someone who takes my shoes off on the plane. Starting your career as a pilot isn't always glamorous. You might begin flying corpses across the co…

Let's fly together

The joys of TSA

I understand the skeptics of the hottest new social media phenomenon BeReal . After all, we are constantly bombarded with companies wanting us to just download one more app. Sure, there might not be as many hot new social media platforms coming out every year as there were in the 2010s, but they do keep on coming. At this point in my life, I refuse to engage with the Tumblr app any longer. It was too much in 2013 when the triple combo of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram were at their peak and a…

Nothing more awkward

If it seems to you like everyone is experiencing flight cancellations this summer, you're not alone. My in-laws, cousins, and some friends all had flights cancelled on them within the last week, and though my flight wasn't cancelled, flying to San Francisco was a total nightmare. Due to staffing cuts at both airlines and airports, and more Americans feeling comfortable traveling during the pandemic, airports are a shitshow. And they're not getting any better. We need to travel smart. And that's…

"I am tired of these mutha fudgin' Karens on this mutha fudgin' plane."

But actually… How do these giant metal contraptions that weigh tons of pounds lightly float above the waves??

Pouring diet coke in the sky comes with responsibilities

The miracle of this story is that the plane was only two hours late.
