How to Know You're an Out of Control Miles ****
Went for dinner to a really great sushi place in South Beach that I used to go to often when I lived in that neighborhood. I've gone less recently, because the parking is the pits.. BUT they're on AA I-Dine, 10 miles per dollar spent onc a month. The proprietor was so happy to see my partner and me that he gave us a 20 per cent "VIP Customer Discount." And all I could think of when the check arrived was "fewer miles."

Duh, I guess I wrote a bad word in the headline since it was censored. Suffice to say that I'm a hooker for miles.

You know you think about miles too much when...
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/005051.html Examples: <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> ...you hear the words "mile a minute", & find yourself reinterpreting the meaning (& futilely pondering the concept of earning bonus miles as a function of time)... </font> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> ... when you unthinkingly ask your non-FF friend why s/he is taking the nonstop flight to London instead of the connection through Syracuse. </font> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> When your teen learns that the best way to ask for something is "It's on sale, and you'll still earn XX miles for it!" </font> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> You add segments to your short weekend trips justifying that all flights DCA-BOS must connect in JFK or PHL. </font> |
Your front closet is full of cereal boxes with little rectangular holes cut out of
them where the mileage certs use to be. enough said. |
When you go to sleep at night, you count your flown and booked segments instead of sheep.
|
... when you scold your boss for missing out on double miles on flights through Memphis (espicially when flying to Europe and Asia).
|
...you have 340 magazine subscriptions that you'll never *ever* read
|
You actually ate 12 boxes of Poptarts Toaster Pastry Swirls. Echhh!
|
You ate those toaster strudels in ONE SITTING because you thought, to earn the miles you had to CONSUME the product. RIGHT!
Shesh, what a stomach ache I had that day. |
You have STILL have two freezers full of Eggos. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

...when getting sporting event or concert tickets you ask for "exit row aisle".
...you refer to your desk chair at work as "good old 4B" ..your laptop bag has more than 10 tags hanging off of it SteveH |
You "offer" to pick-up cereal for a friend whenever it is on sale at Target. She wants the cereal and (do I dare say this) doesn't care about the miles. That way you can "make sure" the boxes are the "right" ones! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
