In a lot of ways I agree.

Some people have deemed me as a complainer but, I think the majority of my complaints are observations.

Like the lack of courtesy at the airport at times. I wonder why there are usually only 1 or 2 people per flight that do not hover over the baggage claim. The rest of the 100+ people desperately conquer the perimeter of the baggage carousal like their luggage is food coming out of a red cross truck. What makes these 1 or 2 people different? Why do they realize that if they stand there that they would be in other peoples way? Its similar with getting on and off the plane, people will try and jet in front of you whenever they can, like its a really fast crit, where a guy can only pass one guy at a time but, he’s gotta be a real dick to do it, and there is really no way for him to make it to the front anyway.

These people seem to be the same people who are always in a hurry but, they will jump in a Star bucks line of 20 or so people no problem.

And these Fat Asses! That’s right I said it. I get charged for bringing a 20 pound bike on the plane but, there is no charge for people caring on 200 plus extra pounds? You know I’ve learned a thing or two from considerate guys like Nydam, Schmatz, and Tim Larkin. And I realize that everyone has their own issues as human beings and deserve some understanding, sympathy, and respect. However, when you come on my plane sit in the middle of me and some normal sized lady in the isle seat, smelling like a cigarette factory that caught fire, and looking like something that was genetically cloned with a meatball and some type of seal blubber, I start to have a hard time with that consideration concept. And then you shoe horn your ass into that middle seat and your, what would be called, hips and stomach swallow the armrest that separate our seats, whole, leaving the remainder of you squeezing me into the side of the airplane, I again question my considerate-ness. But, then, within minutes, you pull out a stank super sized double cheeseburger and fries!………that’s when the gloves come off!!! I’m not making this up, this happen to me a half an hour ago.

I think there is a humane natural reason for such things and I am pretty sure Scott Nydam could give me the answers if he spent sometime on it. He might have to make a few phone calls but, he would end up with an explanation and maybe some KOM points in the process.
