8 People You Don’t Want to Sit Near on the Way Home for Thanksgiving

"people you don't want to sit next to on public transportation"

Thanksgiving is this week, ya’ll! WHOOP WHOOP! And while many people (like myself) are very excited to go home for a few days to parlay and relax with family and old friends, many (like me again) are not looking forward to what it takes to get our behinds back home. Whether that means six hours or more in a car, more on a bus, or just a few hours (yet grueling ones) on an airplane, everyone and their mothers will be out on the road, or sitting on a plane trying to get to who-knows-where. With that, here are a few of the people you should look out for when looking for a place to sit or trying to hitch a ride to get home for the holidays. Don’t even give them eye contact. Trust me.

    Negroes. Never sit next to one. Around blacks, never relax.

    How ‘bout that self centered and entitled person, who rather
    than rest in their own bed, chooses to get on PUBLIC transportation and expects
    the world to hit pause so that they can get some shut eye.

     

    Yes other folk’s habits can grate the nerves, but leaving
    home with the expectation that you can control them is a recipe for a stressful
    day. Instead of watching them, plan for you. Need dark and silence, bring a
    mask and some ear plugs. Happy people get on your nerves, ear buds and an MP3
    player go a long way. Can’t take the funk, a little Vicks on the edge of the
    nostrils will take care of it. That “fool” dressed like an INUIT (FYI there is
    no such culture as Eskimo except in the minds of colonizers!) is prepared to
    adjust as need be. How ‘bout you? Reach up turn off the air over you and throw
    that extra sweater you brought along just in case.   

     

    Can some of these habits pop my nerves? YES. Perspective
    however keeps me from reacting like the seemingly entitled wench who penned this whiny
    “article”.

    What about the person who sit next to you on bus/train blasting music from their cellphones without headphones? What about the person who talks so loudly on their phone telling their business while you trying to read a book, newspaper, playing Angry Birds or trying sleep?! What about the person who sits next to you who smells so bad your eyes water and your nose bleeds?! What about the morbidly obese person who sits next to you and takes all the room that you’re sandwiched between fatso and the window?! I can relate to 2 and 3.

      The smelly, snoring, big guy is who I experienced on a flight. I was sitting right next to him. It was so bad that the other guy on the other side of me had to request to move. He even asked me, u’re not moving, well, good luck, I can’t do this anymore. Big dude was loud and funky though. Lol.

    What about the sleeper who isn’t considerate of the arm rest (I.e. Personal space). They’re all but booing up with your shoulder!

    You forgot one… The sleepy *ss person on the plane/in the car/on the bus who falls fast asleep before everyone else then….. SNORES LOUDLY. Commercial transportation is not the place to be trying to get some zzzz’s if you can’t fall asleep amid all the distraction. You’re assed out boo.
