Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

[Timsup2nothin]

What do you mean? Are you suggesting I don't deserve first class treatment?

You know that we are living in a material world ...

Not suggesting that in the least...just trying to temper down the burning jealousy I hold against Mr KB any way that I can.

 

[Takhisis]

OTOH Mr. KB has to compete with Mr. Snerk…

I mean, they didn't even give me a blanket and a pillow, and offer me a glass of wine while I wait for the others to board and get settled. I need to be pampered, sheesh.

Planes should have some kind of cabin boy who gives you a foot massage. I think I'll write to Delta (don't fly with anyone else)

…speaking of which, Delta could hire Mr. Snerk to give people foot massages. Or generally work in an airline as a random handsome Scandinavian member of staff.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

No !!!

I've also never seen Game of Thrones.

 

[choxorn]

Takh, your numerals are bad and you should feel bad.

I'm never going to pay for first class on a flight - that is way too bougie for me.
Now if I ever fly international again, upgrading out of economy might be in the cards. Flying to Poland in economy, now that was a miserable experience.

Trust me, first class is always worth it!

Oh dear, I think you're terribly confused ... I make more money than Mr KB, and I pay for my own luxuries.

 

[Kyriakos]

You can't both be old and crotchety and dislike the thread title.

Look ΠΑ, no hands.

 

[Arakhor]

Go home, Kyriakos, you're punning.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

The thread title is atrocious and Greek numerals are dumb.

How long was the flight to North Africa anyways?

Rant: Elijah Cummings (D-MD) died today. He was one of the first heavy-hitters in congress to come out in favor of impeachment and has been a fighter for civil rights for decades. RIP

Well, you missed the point there, but that's probably for the best.

 

[Lexicus]

Trust me, first class is always worth it!

I don't make enough money for this to be even remotely true.

 

[MaryKB]

Well, you missed the point there, but that's probably for the best.

Hmmmm I'm afraid I did, would you please kindly explain?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I haven't been on a plane in...twenty years?

 

[MaryKB]

My experience is that it's not too bad, only a little bit more than Comfort+. The most I've ever paid for a single round-trip ticket was $3000, but that was for international ultra-luxury.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Hmmmm I'm afraid I did, would you please kindly explain?

Thinking "well, she's probably too high maintenance for me anyway" keeps me from plotting about how to supplant Mr KB when I see your beautiful pictures...or at least limits my plotting to a brief reflexive moment.

If you make mid six figures, you make around ten times as much money as I do, and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

It's packing day for me. Also, cardboard boxes are extremely stinky.

 

[MaryKB]

So I have an appointment with my beauty stylist this morning (after a bunch of reschedules), and so I spend time getting all ready and go down there ... and she didn't come in today. Eek okay, well it's partly my fault anyway since I've had to reschedule so many times, but still my heart sank from putting myself all together for nothing. I drive home, and as soon as I get in my driveway my phone rings, it's her and she just wrote down the wrong time and asks if I can come back. Of course right when I'm at home! Well all's well that ends well I guess, right?

Thinking "well, she's probably too high maintenance for me anyway" keeps me from plotting about how to supplant Mr KB when I see your beautiful pictures...or at least limits my plotting to a brief reflexive moment.

Oh I see ... well you'd have to battle @Snerk anyway, and as an invincible Disney Prince I'm sure he won't have any difficulty dispatching you XD

But as for being high maintenance ... sure I like nice things, but I pay for my own lifestyle, and I'm also rather generous with people around me, so I'm probably like on the negative end of the maintenance spectrum XD

If you make mid six figures, you make around ten times as much money as I do, and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the country.

Oh dear, I'm sorry ... I'm fortunate that mid-Michigan's cost of living is so low! I still think it's worth saving up for, since you're going to spend your money on something anyway, why not make it enhancing your experience?

It's packing day for me. Also, cardboard boxes are extremely stinky.

Good luck with your move! I remember you said something about booking a moving company ... are you still using them just to carry your things downstairs?

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Why do you have to get yourself together to meet a beauty stylist? Isn't that kind of their job?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

@MaryKB Thanks. Yeah, I'm paying movers because we have a lot of heavy wooden furniture and I have a bad back that I don't want to throw out. We're packing everything ourselves and normally I would move most of the boxes between apartments myself to save money but there is a three-hour minimum for the movers that we likely won't hit given the short distances involved so I'm going to let them move almost everything.

Moving is going to be very fast but unpacking is going to take a long time, especially since we have to go through and get rid of most of our stuff to fit in the smaller apartment. There's a ton of stuff we've been wanting to get rid of anyways so it's kind of a blessing in disguise but not really because who likes having to downgrade your living situation?

Taking bets on how long it takes Hobbs to "be helpful" and throw his back out anyways.
