Sir, Please Buckle your Seat Belt!

Fasten Seat Belt While Seated

So I just took my seat on a flight from St. Louis to Minneapolis. Nothing new or glamorous about that. The flight attendants are making their rounds up and down the isles, and one in particular seems about as condescending as could be. I realize I’m not in first class and I know perfectly well that all my luggage needs to fit in the overhead compartment or underneath the seat in front of me THANK YOU!

So as others are still getting situated and hoisting luggage into the overhead bins.. one the finest attendants on a trip past me says, “Sir, please buckle your seat belt!” in a rather snotty tone, if I do say myself. Never being one for a loss of words I reply “With all do respect, you have yet to show me how to properly buckle. Once you show me how to do it, I’ll give it a shot.”

And with that… you could hear snickers and laughs coming from the peanut gallery aka other passengers and she scoffed off.  I think I may have heard an audible “DING” but I’m not 100% sure about that.

When was the last time someone gave you a test before you were shown the material? Seriously

Lesson learned I say…

Day 2 for Tommy in good old St. Louis, Mo. What a day of meeting, meetings and more meetings. met some super customers and internal sales people. But still no arch… rats. Does not look good for Tommy seeing the arch. When looking at my HD today, found and old old old Clifford kid movie… its at the end of the video… enjoy.

Tommylog St. Louis Day 1

Tommy takes a business trip to beautiful St. Louis Mo. Yeah for St. Louis. Never been here before. Home of the Cardinals and the Arch, not to mention one large adult beverage maker that uses horses to pull a big wagon. Lots to see and do here in St Louis, but still haven’t seen the arch…
