I'd bought a brand new putter while I was at school, and was planning on bringing it back to get it fitted by my guy back home over break. Got to the airport to find that they wouldn't let me carry it onto the plane. This was before 2001, back in the easier days, but they still wouldn't budge. I spent about an hour trying to get them to let me do it--tie it up, keep it locked and unaccessible, etc., 'cuz I wasn't bringing any other clubs back, so I had nowhere to put it. Finally, they directed me to a post office a couple blocks away. I had to walk over there, find a box to put it in. The biggest one they had wasn't long enough, so I had to break the shaft over my leg to put it in the box. In the meantime, I had to call to change flights to one a couple hours later. FINALLY got done at the post office, which took a good hour or so, walked back to the airport, checked in, got to the terminal. Flight gets delayed for 3 hours due to some mechanical issue in Phoenix. Got back home at about 3 AM, without the putter.
goddamn..do i seem, like i care what you were shortening..
this is just some bad bad bad writing..
yeah, it was designed to get the point across. If I had been writing it for the purpose of making any sort of point, it would have been composed in a far different manner. Had you read anything I've written on here, you'd have known that your statement was so misguided that it's comical.

Not really a horror story...
I had a flight scheduled for September 12th 2001 which obviously got canceled. When I finally rescheduled my flight around December I think it was, I had a woman behind me who was in tear almost the whole flight. The man sitting beside me was of Afghani decent, but was really cool we talked the whole flight and shared stories, anyway this scared the woman behind me because she thought he was going to blow the plane up.
When I went to the bathroom she got up and followed me to tell me he was a terrorist and was going to blow up the plane. I looked at her like " Are you fuckin' kidding me? With the 4 security checks we went through you really think he got his bombs past all that?. C'mon" (FYI never say bomb on a plane)
After we got back to our seats she was still mumbling and teared up. He heard what she said to the man beside her and turned around to say, " Hi. I notice you think I'm a terrorist.( at this point the woman is scared) I'm a lawyer, a father of 3 kids ,a husband to a beautiful wife of 15 years and I've never even gotten a speeding ticket and I've lived here my entire life as well have my parents, If I was going to do anything I would have not it by now. Relax. By the way, I see you're Asian does that mean you eat cats for dinner?"
When we got off the plane she kissed the floor. I under stand being ....alarmed? but to the point where you almost shit your pants...if anyone should have been scared it should have been me, I was the one sitting beside him.
me and my vodka bottle do not agree..
sry about being a dick:
I'm chalking that one up to blurry vision, then, especially since there's nothing with which to agree or disagree. Aaaaanyways.
there was a typhoon over asia and we had to stop in some country i cant even pronounce, we werent allowed to get off the plane and their army jumped on the plane with their machine guns... we were stuck on the tarmac for 8 hours until we could take off again, then missed the connecting flight back to oz.
Also its hard buying a ticket from dresden to prague when no one can speak english and they had no fkn idea i was saying prague...... who knew it was called praha

walking out late from my office in Randburg (outside Johannesburg, South Africa) to the hotel which was 2 miles away. Randburg is known for robbery, mugging, car theft etc. That was creepiest walk, as it was not a pleasant experience walking between hookers and muggers. Gladly i made it with out any problems. I could feel my heart in my mouth that night.

Was travelling in a local indian bus downhill when this mofo bus driver started racing with some other bus driver. At the turn the driver pushed the brakes too hard and bus slided over cliff and finally we were tumbing over. After 5-6 turns the bus hit some big tree and stopped. We all were hurt, some localites came and took us out from the bus. woof
I've generally had great traveling experiences. only bad one was coming back from iowa down to mississippi one time....i had a layover in memphis, and my flight from memphis to biloxi was overbooked.
so i got rerouted to dallas, then to new orleans. drove from new orleans to biloxi. got home @ 2am, had class @ 7am. didn't have a clean uniform, and all my luggage was stuck @ new orleans, because the airport was closed when i arrived, and my luggage was on the previous flight there.
so on my way home, i had to stop @ walmart and buy stuff like shaving cream, toothbrush, etc...
pain in the ass.
next day , went to get my luggage @ new orleans, but they were going to ship it to gulfport (20 min drive instead of 1.5 hrs). well, weather delayed the shipping, so i sat @ gulfport for 6 hours. it would have been faster to drive to NOLA and back.
that's about it.
