This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition and 2018 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

I just watched someone spend a solid 3 minutes furiously trying to get her 110 volt iPhone plug into a 220 socket. I really wish I was kidding.

My friend traded her dildo for a tattoo on Bunz. She then referred me (to join Bunz)... I guess this is not an atypical Bunz transaction, having read up on various things and "services" being traded.

Sure, with the proper adapter. It's thoroughly amusing (and discouraging) to watch someone attempt to plug the "wrong" one in without said adapter. For 3 minutes. Furiously.
I got nothing. (ETA: I don't know how to top that)

Soft Contact Lenses - expired
I have a pack of unopened but expired contact lenses (by a couple years)... they are still airtight sealed and unopened in their individual saline pockets.
If I open them and clean them by soaking them in contact lens disinfecting solution overnight, do you think/know if it will be OK to wear them the next day? (read: I'm not going to get an eye infection or go blind)

Yay Rap! Solid 9-point victory in Game 1 for a notoriously slow starting team.
