So I'm leaving Philly now, all banged and bruised from my very physical match against the former ECW Champion Jerry Lynn. The flight is very much full and all YOUR Pope wants to do is get to his seat, rest his head upon the window, and catch some z's. Well, when I finally get to my seat, I noticed that this "Not So Small Lady" is sitting in my seat. Ok, so she moved; But the big issue here was that she had on the floor next to her, her roller suitcase, ya know, the one that your supposed to check if it can't fit into the overhead compartment? So here I am, sitting in my lil cramped space, with this "Not so small lady" (who by the way doesn't speak English THAT well) and between us on the floor is her roller bag that for some reason she refused to check. So I figured I'd just wait and be patient as the flight attendant would be coming down the isle soon to do her inspection at which time she'll make the woman check her bag....Well, she came, the woman covered her bag with he jacket, even though half her body and both legs were obstructing the walk way, and nothing was ever said. I even had my bag in my lap and didn't buckle my seat belt in order to draw attention to our seat (I was gonna try to do the eye signals, lol)... Nope, nothing!
So by now I'm steaming and I'm just praying that this flight gets me to my destination quick and safely. While in the air, I'm watching this movie on my Ipod called, "Death Sentence" starring, Kevin Bacon. I truly recommend this movie to all of you as I was completely blown away by his performance and the overall story of this film, so much that when I got home I had to put it on and watch it to see the dramatic ending. But ok, So I'm watching this movie when I notice that this woman, who had no consideration for no one but herself is BLATANTLY watching my movie. Then she starts trying to ask me questions about it while I have my earplugs in my ear. Well, me being Pope, I explained the movie to her, then gave her one of my ear pieces so that she could not only watch, but listen to the movie as well. Boy I tells ya, the things I must endure, why? Because If I don't, then who will!?~ YOUR Pope has Spoken
P.S. I just returned from the gym and I forgot to wipe off the earplug she used....YUCK!
LOL what a ride,ever thought about getting your own private jet?im sure the fam will pay for it(ha),but this reminds me of a time i was on a plane to Florida and i was sitting next to this lady who's breath smelled like sh... well lets just say it smelled really bad and for the whole plane ride she was talking in my face,dont know how i survived but i did
ROFLMBO!!!!!!
Okay... in all seriousness... How many policy rules were violated on your flight? I mean really?
I can only image how cramped up you and that "not so small" lady looked sharing headphones and the movie on an iPod. It's classic moments like these that are truly unforgettable.
You're a class act. I can not stand when people are not courteous to others and their personal space! Especially in compact areas! I don't know if I would've done the same.
I'm sorry, but I must admit. I got a good laugh out of this story.
I can see why you feel Philadelphia is the ANAL of PA. I grew up less than 30 minutes from there and I must say that I agree 100%.
Old School, How did you know that I considered Philly the "Anal" of PA????
Well, I heard how you had your tights stolen the last time you were in Philadelphia. There's that and the time you were in the forum getting ready to leave for Philly and you left that little gift for us on the TEE Chat.
Lol. Forgot about that, I thought I was going crazy for a sec, or that you were a Gypsy!
Pope, you have a good heart and patience. I would have said something to her since she felt comfortable enough to violate your personal space.
Pope, you handled that situation very well although it might have irked you about the lady's bag and the cramped space you had to deal with. And it was really thoughtful and very nice of you to share the movie you were watching despite what you had to endure around this lady. Kudos to you Pope for being courteous and civil:)
that is a scary and crazy experience to much for my heart and soul.lol wow
That chica grande probably didn't wanna cough up the cash to check that bag. Can i blame her? Yes! Would i have done the same thing? No, BUT i definitely will think about it in the future.
Death Sentence is a really good movie, but Aisha Tyler tried her DANGdest to ruin it for me. Would i have shared the experience of Death Sentence with a Chica Grande Scam Artist, HECK NO! Would i have made eyes at the flight attendant even if there was nothing wrong with my seat or surroundings, HECK YES!
