Am I the only one who does this? - Page 2 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I frequently pee in the shower. But at my age, I can't tell if I'm still peeing, or if it's just the water streaming off the end of my perpetually flaccid penis.

It is something I associate frequently with Americans their love for peeing in the shower

I cant be the only one but when i fly i always wait to be the last one or very last few on the plane? I've never understood why people are always so eager to be first on the plane

Pointless side note- I just flew to Miami about a month ago and Alex Foxen and his wife were on the same Spirit flight... Obviously busto

On some budget airlines you can't reserve seats so you need to be first on to ensure you get to sit with your family

I've heard that the flight crew actually pre-selects people who could be of assistance. I was asked by a stewardess once if I was willing to help out if they had a 'situation'. I'm guessing they are trained to size up potential allies, so they don't have to engage bad actors alone, or move heavy luggage/passengers, or open the emergency exits by themselves. I did assist once with a handicapped passenger that had trouble walking and the flight crew was thankful. This would be a good question for the AMA thread by a pilot.

I once heard someone say that they always travel with a gun - reasoning being that the odds of one person on the plane with a gun has got to be very, very slim, but 2 people with a gun has got to be astronomically huge...

"What would be the odds of two serial killers in this car?"

But I can't remember the rest of the joke...

I think gate checking a bag due to space restrictions is free, but definitely an inconvenience. I definitely board early if I'm on an airline without an assigned seat (like Southwest currently, until they go to assigned seating). I like getting off the plane as quickly as possible, especially if I don't check a bag.

Wasn't it something like:

A hitchhiker finally gets picked up and given a ride after a few hours of trying. He starts talking to the guy who stopped for him, and mentions how long it took for someone to stop. He then asks if the guy wasn't scared that he might be a serial killer, and the driver says what are the odds there would be 2 serial killers in this car right now?

When I am boarding a plane, I size up the other passengers to see which ones look like they would be the best to eat, in case we crash in the mountains and I'm forced into cannibalism to survive.

weak. that is like a weak visual read that we set aside as soon as we see how they actually play a hand - in this case we get to observe their choice of diet, too, so we should reserve judgment for who we eat when we see what they eat.

The strongest part of the plane is where the wings attach to the fuselage, that's where I like to sit. If a plane does go down in the mountains, passengers have only a small chance of survival so don't worry about food.

Well, at least you never hear about a plane backing into a mountain.

If only people would think about these things before they stepped into their cars, since if you have an accident on the highway in a car doing 80mph you have an even bigger chance of dying than flying.

Last year in the United States there were around 45,000 death from car accidents and zero deaths in commercial aviation out of 820 million people who flew. However, I wouldn't suggest walking outside in the rain ever again because in 2023 14 people died from being struck by lightning (I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news).
