As I sit here in various planes and airports on my way home from Toronto, I guess I'll write a post and save it to upload when I get home.
First, I declare war on automatically flushing toilets. I was taking a dump at Pearson in Toronto, and while I was on the toilet it flushed no fewer than three times. And this was one of those violent flushers — it spewed shitwater all over me each time. After I got up, I had to spend a minute just drying myself off. Why can't they do something like, oh, put a sensor in the door frame instead of behind the toilet, and flush when it detects a person exiting? Or does that make too much sense? I'm going to file a patent on that and cut Pearson's toilet bills by 75%.
On the same note, why are there electronic sensors for faucets? They are so annoying to use and everybody has to do the stupid hand-waving dance under them, which wastes time. Would it not be cheaper and more effective to have a mechanical foot pedal (which some bathrooms do)?Currently I'm on a flight from Toronto to DC. The middle-aged woman sitting in front of me was standing in the aisle like a fool, blocking everybody's way when we were boarding. She was crying for whatever reason, and after she sat down she continued sobbing for the next 25 minutes or so. I love sitting near people/babies who make annoying noises on flights. At least this isn't a redeye with an interview one hour later.
Speaking of stupid noises, I think this plane has a huge hole about 10 feet to my front-right. There's this gigantic whistling noise like the window is open or something.
The SkyMall is a fun and entertaining, and by that I mean completely ripping off rich people, thing to read when on boring flights. Here are two of my favorite items, neither of which I'd seen before:
First, this $200 device sure reminds me of a $1 device I know of... that's it, I'm going to start a business selling the "2-in-1 Enhanced Ant Cooker With Bonus Text Enlarging Capability"!
This next one is retarded too. Now some geezer is going to try to have a conversation with some tard who will think said geezer is obnoxiously speaking to somebody on the phone. The geezer will think the tard can't hear him, so he will repeat it louder. Tard will think reception is bad. Rinse & repeat.
Finally, one last random thing: my flight from DC to Atlanta sat on the ground an extra hour because some moron ran a baggage cart into the plane and dented it. Seriously.

I'd appreciate it if you ordered those 2 items for me next time you fly.
