Humiliation
 

There is a wonderful parlor game called Humiliation. The goal of the game is to name something that you haven’t done that everybody else in the room has done. To win you have to embarrass yourself, hence the name: Humiliation. For example, at a social gathering of English professors, admitting that you have never read Hamlet would glean you a lot of points--one for each person who had read Hamlet (and you might also earn the disdain of your colleagues). At a Fraternity party you could score big points by confessing to your Brothers that you never got drunk and threw up.

So, in context of Flyertalk, what rudimentary travel skill or feat do you lack that everybody else has accomplished?

I’ll Narc myself out first: I have logged more miles in cars than in airplanes.

Never used a travel agent in my life.

Never made a mileage run.

Never redeemed an upgrade coupon, since I was too lazy to keep track of them! If everyone who reads this flies UA, I'm going to win this game! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Never lost my luggage.

Never got bumped, but I've been trying! (Any pointers?)

My best kept FlyerTalk secret. I've never spent a single mile on a flight award for myself, business or personal! I just can't cope without earning miles.

I am ashamed of you people! Keep ‘em coming.

Never used a skycap. My Midwest upbringing won't allow anyone else but me schlep my own luggage. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

I never get the max miles possible out of trips. When a non-stop is available, I just can't bring myself to book the miles-rich multi-seg itinerary instead. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redface.gif

I've never bought an unrestricted ticket. Just do the best I can if plans end up changing. Ever spend 3 days in Kalamazoo?

I've never traveled for business.

opus17, fly by night, essxjay, letiole...

Dorian: So no points for me, huh?

How about this ...

Never been questioned by US Customs.

This is travel related:

*Never been to Thailand and had a thai Massage.

*Never flown southwest.

It's not travel related but...

*NEVER been to an "IN and OUT" burger joint and NEVER been to Taco Bell.

DO I WIN???

I have never had an airline affinity credit card.

I have been to ORD but I have never been to Chicago. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I have been to IAD but I have never been to DC. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Pretty pathetic huh?

Do I win?

I have never placed myself on a waitlist to upgrade using certificates.

LOL! Great stuff people. Keep it comin'!

I've never bought flight insurance.

BTW, essxjay, midwesterners do not schlep, they carry. I schlep. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Never had a Krispy Kreme

Never had a Samuel Adams

Never bought a ticket except the cheapest coach available - and if it wasn't cheap enough found a reason not to go.

Never been outside North America (but that will change soon!)

I've also never had an affinity card.

my (swiss) IRS declaration shows that I never did any non-business-flights ...

I never wanted to do any of this anyway.......


I wanted to be...... A LUMBERJACK!!!

I also never been to Portland! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

And I've never flown Northwest! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif or http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I've never met Rudi. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

CATMAN- And I've never flown Northwest! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif or http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Tough choice, especially since NWA serves pepsi! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I've paid for an upgrade instead of earning it.

I didn’t want to have to admit this, but with the bar being set so high, I need to bring out my trump card: I’m NOT a member of the mile high club.

Nor am I a member of this distingushed club! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Car, bus, train (and all many years ago) but NEVER on an aircraft! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

"I've been to Paradise, but I've never been to me..."

This is Commander Catcop, and I think this thread is borderline adult related and I think we should shift back to some g-rated things...

Like: I have never been to Amsterdam but I heard they have nice windmills there.

Thank you.

I have been to CDG (and all over Europe!), but I've never been to Paris.

I have also never been to Mexico. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I always feel some kind of sick obligation to declear every single penny of my purchases abroad if it exceeds the regular $400 custom allowance. Like a fool, I am known for listing a $5 souvenier in my declaration and paying a duty on it. Custom officers probably have a good laugh every time I dutifully march to the window to make my $1.00 or so payment for exceeding the $400 exemption. Sick !

Being a serious wine collector with prohibitive prices in my own country:
1.
-Never taken an international flight with less than 20kg's of hand-luggage..
(But: Almost always within the max. size limits; now that's efficient packing!)
2.
-Always declared my wine purchases with customs. (You don't want to see a grown man cry.)

I never did read the Hamlet.

I never got drunk and threw up at the party (and I was in a fraternity).

But I am an honorary member of the Mile High Club (TM).

kyklin:
What's the difference between an honorary and a regular member of the Mile High Club; being caught? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
