I was rather selfish once on a CRJ when there was a non-English speaking 70+ year old woman who looked rather frail assigned to an exit-row aisle seat. I had an aisle seat a few rows back. I ratted her out to the flight attendant and offered to trade seats since this woman clearly had multiple reasons she didn't meet the exit row qualifications. I ended up in the exit row aisle seat on that completely full Skywest CRJ flight across Colorado.

I'll be honest. I was a lot more concerned about my personal comfort than I was for the safety of all of us on board in the very unlikely event that the emergency exits would need to be opened. But, we all won out. Exit row ended up with someone capable of understanding directions from the flight attendant and taking charge in an emergency if needed, and my knees got that cherished extra ½" of space that the CRJ exit row has.

I do not understand having a loving, gorgeous wife at home and taking it up with some skank(s). :confused:

Mackieman, can I change that request that I made in the SPG DO thread from Waffle House to Whataburger? :p

They got plenty Waffle Houses in the Midwest where I work but I have never tried a Whataburger. Since I was not impressed by In'n'Out nor Five Guys, I am ready to find one of those places that I might like. :rolleyes:

I had a massage today and the massage therapist told me about her 16 year old son, who she was dismayed to hear was dating an 18 year old baby mama. She said she had a convo with the girl and said "Do you know my son has you in his cell under Whataburger?" It was all I could do to not start lmao.

Yikes! I know that there is a major masonry/decking project in my future!:(:rolleyes: It's not gonna be pretty, budget-wise!:eek: I also want to re-do my kitchen at some point -- but that is a ways off, due to the urgency of the aforementioned project!:rolleyes:

^ for you! I was kicked out of some Chinese carrier's exit row for not speaking Mandarin. I said I didn't speak much, but I was good for an exit row. Didn't work.

Absolutely; after our trip to Whataburger at CO Do IV, I believe I shall become the FT Whataburger Ambassador.

Unfortunately, any heretofore 'unscheduled' travel is totally :rolleyes: right now -- however, I could really use an escape w/you gals!:-: May need to do an NYC-based fling!;)

Maybe you gals need to join me in Costa Rica in Jan.! (previously booked!)^

It's all good, then!^

I've never been to a Whataburger, even with visits to Killeen, Temple, and various other Texas cities.

A travesty you must remedy at your earliest opportunity. Or, come party with us in February. ^
