| Signs you weren't meant to go to business meeting |

I am in Baltimore this evening for a sales meeting that starts tomorrow. In light of the past 24 hours, I am starting to think I should have stayed home in Georgia.
1) 2am food poisoning from eating undercooked meat. Next time I wil not try to be polite and will just simply throw the hamburger back on the grill myself. I haven't paid that much homage to the porcelain god since I was in college >=P
2) Right as you are boarding the plane, security pulls you away and tells you that your name was flagged as a security risk. My bags are then completely searched in front of everyone. Apparently the lock on my laptop case made me even more suspicious to those guys. I politely unlocked it and let them pilfer through my stuff, and display my underwear to every passenger boarding the plane. As they ran the metal detector over me, it picked up my cell phone on my side. I took it off, and then the detector went off on my middle. The man looked at me real suspiciously, and I told him in my most sweet southern voice, "would you like for me to take my belt off honey?" He turned red and let me go. Could be worse I guess. The lady behind me had to take her shoes off so they could search them.
3) I have never been on a plane that came to a complete stop within 400 feet of landing. It felt like hitting a brick wall. The flight attendant then instructs us to evacuate the plane immediately because one of the engines caught fire. Against her protests, I did grab my laptop case. Some things are just too important. I couldn't help but think of what I was going to say to my boss at the sales meeting: "sorry I am dressed this way, but the plane ate my clothes." I spent the next 45 minutes standing in the middle of the runway at Atlanta Hartsfield International airport in the middle of a Georgia Summer. It was kinda cool to be able to watch planes take off and land that close to them. But that quickly wore off after my clothes were drenched in sweat.
4) I am stuck in the middle seat of my new flight, and both of my seat mates are very very large. There wasnt' even room to sit.
5) Remember that food poisoning? Let's just say it came back to haunt me upon landing when I couldn't visit the water closet on the plane.
Anybody else got any good flying horror stories? |
