You know what sucks?

You know what sucks? Getting on a two hour flight after only having slept 2 hours the night before and discovering that your seat has no recline function. You know what sucks even more? When the person in front of you does have a recline function and uses it ambitiously. Naturally your reaction is to search harder as it couldn’t possibly be the case that theirs reclines and yours doesn’t. You know what sucks? Discovering that you were right the first time and after half an hour of searching, you don’t in fact have a recline function. You know what else sucks? Having a baby scream in pain during the entire flight because their ears won’t pop. You know what sucks even more? Having three of them. And finally, do you what makes you just giggle? Asking the stewardess if someone is sitting in the empty seats accross the aisle when she responds, “No, but there will be.” What the hell are we gonna do? Pick someone up on the way?
