   Dear colm:ers and ap:ers,   
      
   As regular readers of my posts know, I had the unpleasant opportunity   
   to fly with ryanair, back to my refuge from the wokeness of western   
   europe.   
      
   I generally do not like people, and I like male flight attendants hellbent   
   on charming me even less.   
      
   Why on earth, would you as a flight attendant, when I clearly do not want   
   to engage and do my best to stare at the ceiling, the wall over his head   
   or shoulder, loudly scream "HELLLOOOOO!" and try to blind me with beaming   
   laser smile?   
      
   My main goal on a flight is to interact with as few people as possible,   
   and to get off the plane as quick as possible.   
      
   Thankfully he was quiet during the flight, but tried the same thing when I   
   tried to leave. I responded by ignoring him even more.   
      
   Add to that a toddler from hell screaming about 25% of the flight, and it   
   was very unpleasant.   
      
   There was one saving grace... a very beautiful female flight attendant who   
   let me sit next to my wife, so she could decrease my suffering. Before   
   landing she shooed me away so as not to affect the balance of the 737   
   (BS!) and I said that of course I have to take my bag and coat so as not   
   to "affect the balance" or else I would be afraid of the plane crashing.   
      
   To my great surprise she smiled at my joke, and said, "well, I don't think   
   it would be that serious".   
      
   I liked that! =D   
      
   But my 1 hour ride throug hell is now over, and I'm happily back in my   
   apartment and not in a long metal tube full of people I do not like or do   
   not want to meet! All is good now!
