I see!
Me, boarding surprisingly mobbed 8:50 plane back to Hartford, to flight attendent:  I am stunned this flight is so crowded!  I expected it to be totally empty.

Flight Attendant:  Dr. Seuss!

I'm laughing at that, but I'm sure for the wrong reason.

Sounds like a Southwest Airlines flight attendent found a job with a different airline.

Now it all makes sense.

I think they all drop acid before each flight.

HONEST TO GOD, there is something very weird about all of them. I've never flown Southwest before, but it's like they all ate a bowl of uppers, including the pilots. There is no need for the amount of information they share about the most MUNDANE things. NONE!

Yes, I am stupid.

I fly SW all the time. All the time. I have some weird Southwest addiction, like I think I won't die if I fly Southwest, and they have awesome Maryland flags on their planes. (I'm kind of crazy, apparently?)
Anyway, their jokes are starting to get on my nerves...like, "if the plane goes down, take the kid you like the least and help him down the aisle." One male flight attendant who rocked those jokes, he was cool, but the last one out of new orleans, i just thought like he wanted those kids to die. BLAH. Ease up on the jokes, Southwest.

I'm an increasingly nervous flyer, btw. ;)

I have absolutely no idea what he meant, it was a total non sequitur with no followup and no context. I don't really feel like I need such an intense level of CONSTANT! AMUSEMENT! as Southwest seems to insist on ramming down my throat. My flight needs are simple: get me where I'm going on time, don't lose my bags, and keep the plane up in the air when it's supposed to be up there.

I mean, I'm all for laid back and jokey, but on a jammed plane heading to someone as un-awesome as HARTFORD at 9:00 on a Sunday morning, cram it with the talk-fest, I just want to sleep.

There was a (very seemingly sweet) older man on the flight from New Orleans who was sitting up front across the aisle from me, and he was howling laughing at everything the guy said, like it was the funniest shit ever. He was wiping tears from his eyes. And the guy was the bitchiest, most bored person ever. I can't ever sleep on planes, but I shut my eyes and burrowed into my seat, sending him vibes to please please stop laughing and encouraging him.

"If this plane should unexpectedly turn into the Love Boat."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

"If you are traveling with someone who is a child, or acts like a child...:

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Sucks. Thanks for this, though, apparently I needed to vent about it and didn't know it. It'll also give me a special place to go in my mind the next time I fly Southwest as I KNOW I WILL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

rubyslipper, i did giggle uncontrollably and annoy the crap out of my boss on a southwest flight once. the steward unexpectedly sang happy birthday to someone in the style of marilyn monroe to jfk, and i just lost my shit.

so i guess if you see a brown haired, 150 lb irish-looking woman sitting in your vicinity, just turn around and leave. she could be one of the giggly pod people.
