Flying can easily be called one of man’s greatest inventions. Being able to fly from Atlanta to Paris in nine hours, or from New York to San Francisco in six hours has transformed our culture as a whole, but it has caused us a whole new type of stress that we never had back in the 1800s.

During my most recent flight home I encountered all of these thoughts through out the process of getting to the airport, flying, and landing. Flying is defiantly its own special kind of adventure. Here are some thoughts that everyone has had while flying.

Arriving at the airport.

Okay, do I have everything? Yes I do! Oh, crap, I forgot my laptop.

Oh, wait; never mind -- I’m holding it.

I hope I’m not over 50 pounds.

Wonder what they do with my bag once I drop it off

Must find gate A, and I’m at Z -- perfect.

Omg, my flight is in less than an hour.

What if I miss it?

Calm down, security should go by quickly.

Going through security.

I hope this doesn’t take long.

Why do I have to take my shoes off?

I have to separate everything?

I’m walking barefoot on this nasty floor; I better not get something.

Why do I have to put my hands up for this machine?

This is so uncomfortable. He can probably see I haven’t worked out in two years.

Time to grab my stuff that is separated in 43 different containers.

Why did I wear gladiator sandals these are so freaking hard to get back on?

Now everyone is staring at me because I’m taking so long -- great.

Let’s just get to the plane.

On the plane waiting for boarding to finish.

Yes! Window seat and no one sitting next to me.

Please person walking by, let this not be your seat.

Oh, you're row 3? No, thank god this is 2.

Yes! No more people coming on; plane is full. Let's go.

Wait; there is one more person.

Oh, god, let their seat not be this one.

Yep, this their seat.

There goes what could’ve been the greatest flight ever.

It’s downhill from here.

During the flight.

-OMG, a bump. The plane is going down!

Wait. No, never mind; we’re good.

Are they gonna have snacks?

I wonder what kind of snacks they’ll have.

Do they have drinks?

Better question, do they have alcoholic drinks?

Why do my ears pop?

Oh, I’ll Google it!

Damn it, no Wi-Fi.

They should play a movie.

Why is that guy coughing so much?

What disease does he have?

Omg, I’m gonna get the plague.

-This plane needs to land.

I didn’t pay attention during the safe demonstration, oh my gosh, what if the plane lands in water?

I didn’t listen to that part!

I’m gonna die.

Only 40 more minutes, I got this.

Why is it so cold?

Seriously, when are they bringing snacks?

Yes! Snacks!

Seriously, only peanuts?

I don’t even like peanuts.

Note to self: write a letter of complaint once I have Wi-Fi.

Okay, good; we’re landing.

After the flight.

I’m never flying again.

Until my return flight.
