Fuck flying anytime anymore. Fucking TSA and all that bullshit x 10 at xmas. Then you have the cattle car thing now barely an empty seat. Smaller seats too it seems than before with virtually no leg room. Bunch of entitled assholes that lay their seat back to the max. Or, you got some kid kicking the back of your seat. The air in a plane is so unhealthy it's a guarantee of disease, at least for me. I always get sick after flying.
Fuck flying.

Tried flying across Canada a number of years ago for Christmas to see my family, except there was a snow storm so after getting to Toronto my connecting flight had been grounded, and I got shipped off to the Hilton hotel courtesy of Air Canada.
Except when I got to the Hilton, they refused to give me a room because I didn't have a credit card for the sake of a damage deposit even though Air Canada was paying for the room. Argued with the front desk for a number of hours while everyone else got checked in, eventually they let me use the phone to call Air Canada and some nice lady on the customer service line ended up negotiating a room for me.
By the time I got there, got about 2 hours sleep then up again at 4 am to be shuttled back to the airport to catch my new flight.
Upon arriving out west, my luggage had been shipped off to somewhere else in Canada when the planes were grounded and rerouted.
Also, Air Canada gave me an 8 dollar meal voucher for breakfast at the Hilton, and the cheapest thing they had on the menu was a bottle of orange juice for $8.50. 
And that's how I spent most of my christmas eve/christmas in the airport and at the Toronto Hilton lobby. And why I say Fuck Hilton, and sometimes Fuck Toronto airport just by association.

That's the plan. You suck at getting to the airport in time.

It's actually pretty slow now. The main problem was finding a place to park. All parking rides were full and needed reservations. Btw, you can see downtown Houston From the top of the parking garage at IAH.

Fuck flying.
People putting their seats back(which is a legitimate function of the seat) and kids kicking chairs?
How often has a kid kicked your chair in a plane?
That one time I visited the cinema where that punk was chewing his popcorn so loud, I bust a tit.
Never been to a cinema since.
