Dealing with AC-induced stress
Traveling can be a burden at times.
Delayed flights and missed connections
Crappy lounge food
Rude lounge agents
Assumptions about your cabin/status based on age/gender/dress
Wrong agents who insist they're right because they work at the airport
Broken upgrade systems
Gate agents incorrectly upgrading non-revs while revenue passengers are on the list
FAs substituting drinks, with the potential for medical issues
FAs refusing to serve drinks, inventing a policy around the matter
Broken seats puncturing your skin, requiring first aid
IDB due to reservations screw-ups
Artificial and ineffective limits on IKK
Serious issues with the website
Having to wait through stupid messages on the phone when you call the SE line because the website's broken
etc.
It really gets me at times. Sometimes I get a little anxious, and even depressed. So I went to this great website that asked me a bunch of questions, and it suggested I start traveling with an Emotional Support Animal.
So I went out and bought a pup. And an ESA vest for him.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the newest FF in my household, Ace.

Not even close. I named him Ace so that he's always at the top of any alphabetically sorted list.
He's #1 .

EXAAAAACTLY. LOL
I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the crews or airport staff, should a group of people show up to board, all with the same ACE ESA in tow.
Quick, someone call the CBC.
@Cow, any chance you'd be interested in a group order?
