You know what really grinds my gears?!

Re: flying, since I was just on a bunch of airplanes (took a trip to Phoenix to visit a friend).

Each way I had a connection, so four planes total. Three of the four planes did not involve having someone in the middle seat (I was on the aisle, which I prefer). The fourth saw me wedged in next to some lady who was too wide for the seat. I sat sideways for the two hours and it sucked. I felt worse for the guy across the aisle from me, who was sat next to a guy who had to use a seatbelt extender. And there was a lady in the next row back who appeared to poof up to twice her size once seated.

If the trip wasn't 2,000 miles and only involved 3 days of visiting, I almost would have considered driving. At least my flight times meant I didn't have any line waiting for security.
