Not if you're a smoker! (Yeah, go ahead and flame me for that - it's
my choice and it doesn't affect you, so STFU.)

If you've flown much, you don't check baggage at all.

That all depends.....last time I checked baggage it was on the
carousel before I got there, and I walk fast and went directly to
baggage claim.

That's part of the problem. Most luggage has handles. Simply reach
up, grab handle, pull....no struggling needed.

If I can be in a car leaving the airport instead of just deplaning,
that's where I want to be.

No **** - so let the people who have to catch connecting flights or
simply don't like hanging around airports get the **** off the plane.

Good thing since they can't fly at 55MPH...and we all know that you soil
yourself when ever the speed in the vehicle you're riding in exceeds 60.

I smoke like a chimney myself, numbnuts. Don't assume you're the last
smoker on the planet who wants a butt at the end of a 4-5 hour flight.
I've waited that long, a few minutes more is tolerable... for me.

That works great going to Hawaii. A little tough to carry on what you
need to travel to a less temperate climate or for an extended stay.
I've shipped stuff to a hotel a few days in advance. They'll usually
pick it up and store it, no charge. Always, if they know you tip well.

Sometimes it happens that way. Nothing's always true. Even the speed of
light varies.

The "struggle" is to get the carry-ons from the bin FIRST... not
necessarily with the baggage weight or cumbersome-ness. Interpreting
everything literally... how's that working out for ya...?

I've made and saved quite a bit of money being comped for airlines'
incompetence. Fly First Class... they'll usually have a cart to drive
you to the next gate if they think they'll have to comp you for missing
a connection. Plus, you get off the plane first!

I don't think many people enjoy hanging out in the airport.

Just for the record, how is a sloth a MFFY? Doesn't the sloth
designation indicate they're going *slower* than you? I suspect
everyone is going slower than you.

I used to be like you, Type-A, wound up tighter than a 2 dollar watch
and the biggest asshole you can imagine. I got professional assistance
because I wanted to change... and it worked... (most of the time). Cost
about a grand and took just one session to begin to calm down. Total of
8 weekly sessions. I highly recommend it.

Ah, but if you hurry and push/shove your way off you get the pleasure
of waiting just that much longer at the baggage claim. I've never ever
found the baggage waiting when I got thee.

No LBMHBF is that guy on the side of the road with his thumb sticking
out. You know the guy that you would have given a ride except for that
he's dirty and sticky and you just plain don't ride with creeps.
