If by a few weeks, you mean since August, then yes.

Plane's delayed, everyone is fussy because the connections are ****, they're trying to get us out to salvage whatever they can, and people still can't get asses in seats.

Please, keep ****ing up. You don't suck at all.

Flying out out of Newark?

The wife and I were flying to ACK in 2018, our flight was supposed to leave Newark at noon.

At 5pm, they were disembarking the plane we were supposed to get on when United cancelled the flight.

The lady at the counter announces that the next available flight isn't until 5pm tomorrow, about a dozen people blow up at the same time saying "that's what you told us at yesterday!".

I get on the phone with United, to get what refund would could at that point, while the wife was on the phone booking Amtrak tickets to Boston.

The overnight stay in Boston, the bus to Hyannis, and the ferry to Nantucket cost us an entire day of our vacation but we still arrived at least 7 hours earlier than United *might* have gotten us there.

**** Newark
**** United
...and **** the entire airline industry now that I'm thinking about it

why not just rent car to get from NJ to Boston?
Also, people stuck there for two days?

I once got stuck for a while 24 hrs at the airport. It was JFK and I was flying to PR. Flight was canceled at 1am. We decided to hang around the airport till next flight at 12am.
Next time Ill just stay at a motel or anywhere else but the airport.

Yup, I missed my connection. I’m currently flying into Ft Myers when my original destination was Sarasota. It was that or get in at 11pm.

But it gets better. I put an AirTag in my luggage because why the hell not. I check my baggage tracker and notice it’s not loaded on my flight…but one headed to Dallas. Sure enough I check the AirTag and my bag is clearly on the runway while I am at the terminal.



And a few hours later:



Yup there it is. And they can’t do anything until I arrive at the airport I never intended to arrive at in the first place. Even though I tried to get the ball rolling before I left.

**** American Airlines.

There were no rental cars available that day and we wouldn't have made the last ferry for the day anyway.

Concur, American Airlines has been pretty ass lately. I haven't flown anyone else in the last year.

It used to take hours to find out your luggage went someplace you didn't. Now you know before you leave. Ain't technology grand?

We know we ****ed up immediately. We either can’t or won’t do anything about it but hey, we’re trying. Not that hard. But a little bit. Here, have a reward mile so you can experience even more of our incompetence.

I did something to the arch of my right foot and it’s been cramped all afternoon.

Also my normal morning route to work drastically changes for the worse from 630 weekdays to mid day on a weekend. It’s better when everyone knows exactly where there going and just trying to get there as quickly as possible. Bunch of Sunday drivers out there lollygagging in the left lane.

Washed the car for the first time in a long while.

Last year I made it a point to touch up all the rock chips and such on the front bumper & hood.

I was stunned at how many new rock chips I found. All new, and more than I'd accumulated in the previous 16yrs.

Probably something to do with the 3yr construction project I have to drive thru that at last estimate they said was going to end up taking 5yrs. They are so behind now they no longer put completion date estimates on the county website anymore. It's been 3+yrs already and they aren't even half done.

I have to wonder.

There have been 2 large cranes parked there for months. They haven't moved in so long that they were visibly rusting all over from lack of use.

Having assets like those sitting idle on a job site like that has to be costing a f**king fortune.

Gift bags with glitter on them. Nothing says "**** you" to a gift recipient quite like spreading microscopic reflective particles all over their home.

Glitter in general can **** right off. I'm irritated enough that I googled who invented it, and I hope Henry Ruschmann is burning in hell.

I once went out with a woman that had a dress with glitter.
I was still cleaning glitter months after.

There's a vid going around of a woman "getting even" with her ex by spreading spray glue and glitter all over his Land Rover's interior. No idea what the problem was but that's next level types of evil IMO.

Amazingly my kids have some glittery clothing but it makes it through the washer no problem. Not sure how that is possible.

You'll find out the way I did...at a conference when you pull your hand out of your pocket to shake some bigwig's hand, and realize your hand is covered in glitter that collected in your pocket in the wash.

Then you'll get to endure many jokes such as:

"I know where you went last night!"

And...

"What was her name? Sparkles?"

Reviews***8230;. I bought a new greens supplement.

Reviews - this stuff tastes like candy, Wow! , my favorite flavor.

Opened up the container. Smell test- oh wow this is going to be rough. Taste test - oh good god, gag, did they mix some sweaty balls and dirty ass in this as part of the recipe.

I once gifted my friend's daughters with some princess dresses. Its what 4-6 yr old wear.
These dresses had tons of glitter.

My friend was not amused when the glitter started showing up on anything that was washed in the washer :lol

If 1 project out of 99 is using glitter. How many projects have glitter on them.
All of them!
