You know what really aggravates me about flying? It's the storage space above the seats. I believe when you purchase a ticket, you also "rent" a percentage of the "storage space" which correlates to the number of seats below. Two seats - 50%, for example.

I can't tell you how many times I've boarded an aircraft (with a seat in the front (fore)) and all of the storage is taken. The benefit of sitting fore is you get to disembark first, unless some idiot sitting in the back (aft) has used your space. Then you have to take your luggage aft and store it above the idiot who stole your space. This means you have to wait until everyone has left the plane before you can retrieve your bag, which defeats the purpose of sitting fore. This has caused me to miss connections as well.

Speaking of connections: If the flight is late, why don't they allow everyone in danger of missing their connection to get off the damn plane first. Not doing this has also caused me to miss connections.

You might say, "check your luggage". I say, "it's a pain in the ass and you shouldn't have to because someone steals your space".

Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe - pick a seat we gotta go.

I feel better now
