WINKMAN


Yesterday, while I only worked three hours, a lot of craziness happened.

First, a tiny very skinny woman I could have easily smashed with one hand threw the F word at me like there was no tomorrow, in front of her 5 year-old child and her totally whipped husband. Why? Well because I had the audacity of telling her to put her luggage in the bin over row 27 while she was in row 28. I wasn't trying to keep row 28 for myself - I promise. It was just full.

 "And what do I do with the stroller?" she asked while she continued cursing.

Well the stroller should have been taken at the door, so very nicely, and with a fake smile plastered on my face, I said she could take her seat and I would take care of it. More cursing! Really? Maybe I will stop being nice.

Then another woman kept turning towards me anytime I would sit down in my seat and stare. Really stare. Like turning around and looking at me for a minute kind of stare.

Seriously, if you are going to stare - we all do sometimes - at least smile. It will make the situation a little less weird, for me at least.

Then came Winkman.


This is what winking translates into guys, so just don't. 


I gave him a Coke, he winked. I gave him pretzels, he winked again. Then I picked up his empty can of coke, and yes he winked again.  And so on during the entire three hour flight.

Gentlemen, even if you are as hot as Leonardo Dicaprio or George Clooney - which is almost impossible anyways - winking is not going to work out. If you don't believe me, here is proof:

Weird

Super hot

If you really like to wink, you can wink to a girl you already know, to a friend, to a girlfriend, but that's pretty much it. But do NOT wink at any stranger, under any circumstances. It's creepy. Look:

The Hawaiian shirt is not helping either. 



Or maybe it's just me.

Agree or disagree?

    I've had far too many long haul flights lately, and I've noticed just how rude people are when they're on planes and in airports. I always feel for the flight attendants- it's tiring enough having to be in an enclosed space, without it having to be your job to deal with the twats!
    Sorry you had to deal with a rude, inconsiderate lady & a kinda creepy dudebro.

      Thanks for stoping by Rishaaaa ... And yes people lose their manners as soon as they step foot at an airport ... They also seem to lose all common sense. A guy threatened to call the police on me for kidnapping him because I wouldn't let him off the plane in the middle of the runway in the middle of a tornado.. Now that's really a bad day. Good luck with your flying.

    Winking is weird, any way you slice it. Its like Tourette's of the eye to me. It should never be done multiple times in a day, especially to a stranger! I only see winking working if you know the person, and were making a joke to them. Otherwise, no. Just no.

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
