F, even in the future nothing works!

One fire in Aurora and flights the next day still delayed an hour! Our air traffic control system is a joke! I think air traffic control should be outsourced to The Muppets or SNL. At least then it might be funny!

We have a really full flight today..

United flight attendants (They all say this but the definition of full is "completely filled.. containing all that can be held".. The qualifier "really" is unnecessary and illogical)

This would be the holy grail for these terrorists..

CNN (I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be since most terrorists of the Islamic persuasion don't believe in the holy grail...)

CTA example of reasons why I'd hate phones on airplanes

It's always going to be guy right next to you. It'll always be the most ignorant person on the plane speaking. They'll always find the most obnoxious way to give their opinion (hateful speech, bad grammar, super loud)

I wish the CTA would ban cell phone usage as well! That'd be great.

People in general look a lot more ominous when wearing masks. Everyone on the street is a suspect now!

Men of Chicago! Get a hat!

Dudes. Men. Brothers. It's freezing cold outside. It's snowing like crazy. Your perfectly sculpted, gelled hair will not stand-up to an inch of snow and 20 mph winds. Do us all a favor - get a hat. Do your hair when you get to the office.

2014 New Year prediction: 2014 is the year that the phrase "hashtag (insert witty adjective or noun)" dies.. It will be replaced by cooler names for the symbol, such as: Poundsign... Shift3... 4Lines... RailroadCrossing...

The biggest question on Obamacare is - how does Kathleen Sebelius still have her job?

Me

This is what is bothersome about government "accountability". You completely botch enacting the president's signature legislation and everything goes on like normal.

United can't manage itself out of a paper bag

Our plane has been in Denver since 9 AM. They find mechanical issues 10 minutes before we're going to board (at 3 pm) and delay 2 hours. Clearly no one thought to check a plane that is sitting around for 6 hours. That would be too logical ("oh gee we found a problem, now we can fix it before needing to delay a flight").

No wonder these guys don't make much profit.

United still isn't customer-first

Any airline that allows its uniformed employees to take exit row seats for FREE before paying passengers is NOT customer-first. No matter how much advertising they put out to the contrary..

I work 7:30 to 5. And then when I get home I'm too tired to do anything. This sucks.

Millennial getting his hair cut by me complaining about working. Tough life kid..

Pink nfl.. you've gone too far

Is anyone else thoroughly over all of the pink in the NFL currently?

It kind of feels like the league is your girlfriend’s obnoxious do-good friend who won’t stop talking about how much she volunteers at the homeless shelter..

Shut up already. And lets just play some football!

Unintended Consequences

Do you think United foresaw that by putting zone 1-5 signs at the gate that people would start lining up well before boarding? People love lines here. And you could guess they'd line up across the terminal blocking other travelers...

Many hard-working Americans are missing their paychecks right now!

President Obama

(My response, per Spaceballs, “welcome to real life!”. Now you can all feel like what the rest of the world faces when working for an entity that can actually go out of business, doesn’t provide world-leading benefits, doesn't guarantee life-long employment,  etc. In other words, welcome to feeling how all non-government employees feel everyday!)

Personal space

Clearly personal space is less of an issue in this city..  I was waiting in line for food at the Mart and 2 people squeezed within 2 inches of my face to get by the line..

No excuse us, no sorry, just so close I could smell the guy's hair gel...

In the big city now!

My first thoughts on living in Chicago…

1. Bicyclists are crazy.  No rules, just go. And everyone wants to say the divvy riders are an issue; I’d say it’s bikers in general not following road rules

2. There is no shortage of car horn juice here

3. My new favorite thing is to walk directly at people who are walking and texting/looking at their phones. It’s good fun to scare people like that!
