Find one that's on the thinner side and wear it backwards and under the thicker one. Then you have a hood for the front and back of your head. Great for sleeping.

I remember being four years old, 12 years old, etc and not at all noticing what people were wearing on flights.

Yeah, I'm jealous of guys that can just buy regular flight seats due to lack of height. They're made for like 6' max dudes. 6'2 and above is ****ed unless you get premium/exit row.

Haha hey I said premium not business class.

Plus I try to break even with the free booze

Although I have done upgrades to business class a few times. Which was a bad idea because it's hard to go back to scum class after that

At the airport right now waiting for my 12:45AM flight to Toronto, a kid has been scream crying for the past 20 mins nonstop at an insane decibel level. Holy fuvk, better not be getting my flight.

Why the hell would you travel with a kid at this hour?

The magic of videocameras and the internet means we don’t have to rely on our memories of what people wore on planes in the 80s.

Spoiler!


I see people in buttoned-up, collared shirts, slacks, skirts, sports jackets, and some in suits. I don’t see anyone in sweat pants.

Which matches my memories. I don’t know where Sliver is getting this from (assuming he isn’t just trolling us). Maybe the passengers he remembered were 17-20 year olds going to a hockey tournament? Because middle-class, grown-ass adults in the 1980s and early 90s didn’t wear sweat pants on planes - or anywhere else in public, for that matter.

We flew to the Caribbean on a red eye when my boy was just under 2. One of the easiest flights he did. Slept the whole time.

I always appreciate the classic internet troll move of remembering what people wore in an airport you were in 45 years ago at the tender age of four.

Don't be jealous of us midgets. Airlines and gymnastics and horse racing are basically the only thing where its better, every single thing other than that is better to be tall as fata. Jobs, poontang, respect, reaching for things all better to be taller.

You can fit comfortably in sports cars, so you've got that going for you too.

I actually feel kind of bad Cliff had to interrupt board game night to dig up those old videos to prove me wrong. I hope they didn't skip his turn.

Tall people don't live as long. You can laugh at us when we're all dead and you're banging our chicks.
