What’s that old saying? You never know what you miss till it’s gone….

WTH Canada? I thought you were our nice neighbors to the north.

Just… wow. More vomit bags is not suitable compensation. Nope. Uh uh.

Yes. It’s not because I’m lazy and don’t want to tackle that mountain of laundry. It’s genetic.

I have a lot of ideas on this topic. Too much screen time, junk television, the quality of our leadership, social media … but turns out it’s just collective intelligence. We don’t need to know everything, we can just ask someone else.

  1. The travel section in Sunday’s Washington Post had an entire article on just that subject – filthy airplanes and passengers forced to sit in them – there were more instances of more gross situations. Also an article on “Who has the best lobster roll in Maine” -https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/09/20/best-lobster-roll-maine/

    2. I knew before looking they were going to say Red’s.. where no true Mainer ever eats. Their lobster rolls are ridiculously overpriced… last I knew, $39.50… and they source most of their meat from Canada which doesn’t go over well with Maine lobstermen. It’s a tourist attraction but locals avoid it. There’s even a FB page devoted to hating it called Give Red’s The Finger where you drive by and take a photo of yourself flipping them off. Juvenile and crude, but people really hate that place.

      1. I must admit I only scanned the article but thought of you when I saw it. Supposedly they asked locals? These articles usually feature tourist traps, NOT where the locals eat and enjoy. When I saw the featured photo I thought “Can I have that without the bread?” I’m not a fan of lobster, prefer crab – more tasty to me.

    3. Maine lobster spot was probably a paid advertorial. Ads are where they make their money but they make the ads look like an opinion to make it look legit. Misinformation and bullshit – and vomit – is everywhere money is to be made

  2. It’s genetic? I guess I’m not to blame. Thanks Mom!

    I was on a Southwest flight from Hartford to Salt Lake City. It had three stops, but I never had to get off the plane. The “cleaning” crew came on at each waypoint. I no longer feel bad about not doing a good job cleaning anything. The crew was one guy, and the cleaning consisted of shoving a mop back and forth across the bathroom floor. They never looked at the rest of the plane.

      1. I was taking medication at the time. I asked the flight attendant if I could have a cup of water. She looked at me with wide eyes, “Oh my God, don’t ever drink the water on an airplane. Always ask for a bottle of water!” Then she handed me a small bottle of water.

  3. Just saying, but Air Canada doesn’t care about passengers anymore. I’m betting the clean-up crew either felt they weren’t being paid enough to clean that up, or they didn’t have the right cleaning supplues and left to get them, and the airline couldn’t wait to get the plane back in the air. Either way, I wouod never fly Air Canada, even if it wax the only airline going where I want to go! They have lost all sense of customer comfort. Money! Money! Money! Money! MONEY!!!!!

    1. I think that’s probably true of all airlines. We pay more but get less. I can remember when flying was fun… big seats, plenty of leg room and yes, full meals. Most of them were awful, but still…

  4. Your last paragraph makes “a lot of” sense — the last sentence reminded me of this quote:
    “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble — it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” –Mark Twain

  5. Seriously Canada? I guess its only fair since I read somewhere that some Canadians think they live upwind from a country sized meth lab. As for the last story, I agree with this, the younger generations are obsessed with 30 second topics they lose interest if it’s any longer than that.
