AA really “tick”ed me off
 
After a three-hour delay on Friday morning, we push back from the gate and begin taxiing only to learn we’ll be waiting another 45 min before takeoff. The back of my neck begins to itch, and I discover that I’m sharing my seat with a tick.

Let the puns begin… :p

Yeah, that bites!

  • That's for sure worse than gate lice
  • That's no way to refer to a Plat
  • Unaccompanied miner
  • Pre Departure Bite

Did they offer Lyme with your pdb?

The delay was clearly because the corresponding tock was missing

Those dog ticks and the resulting meat allergy are a new in flight meal cost saving program.

Let's not give Dougie any ideas (ok ok I know he retired but ...)

Just curious, where was this? ...And do you know where the aircraft came from?

<shudder> Yech. Ticks.

All the best, James

I'm surprised you didn't flea the plane

I think the incoming flight was from the East coast. I rarely see ticks in the DFW area, but if they’re akin to cockroaches, they’re built to survive the apocalypse and could easily survive a 108 degree drought.

Looking forward to seeing the video on TikTok.

I would be really ticked off

Is this thread for real or a joke?
