Kinds Of People You See On The Plane

I travel a bit more now so I didn't have to think too hard about this one. You see some people you wouldn't consider sitting next to because of how they are in public and yet, you're plopped right next to them. Oh don't worry, I'm one of the culprits but only because I get travel sickness so whoever is placed next to me - get ready for me. It's only on planes though and I try to be as polite as possible when hurling. Being ladylike while your gut is on fire is a skill. 

The Hogger
They take up the whole compartment space, stops in the middle of the aisle to place their things away first even though there is a queueing of people behind them. Oh, and the occasional (and accidental) smack to another passenger.

The Hurler
Yeah...that's me. Well, I've grown out of it now (sort-of) so I don't really consider myself in this section even though I do have that horrible nostalgic feeling now and again. I usually turn myself away if there is a person next to me but if I'm in the middle aisle and each side had one family member and one stranger - the family member would get the burden. They're lumped with me.

The Rebel
The ones that don't put their seat belt on. The ones that go to the toilet when turbulence is happening. The ones that undo their belt and start walking to get their stuff, even though the plane had just landed a second ago. Some Asian airlines maaaaaan. 

The Snorer
Self-explanatory. The loudest snorer on the plane. Is it possible for them to be louder than the actual plane?? Well, guess it's possible if you're sitting right next to them. 

The Sleeping Beauty
They can sleep anywhere and anytime. Mainly kids really, although I'm guilty of this too. No joke - from Hong Kong to UK - 12hr flight, I slept for 9hrs straight. Obviously the more you sleep, the more beautiful you are is a lie because I wake up looking like Shrek every time.

The Baby
And I mean, the screaming baby. The parents are tired. The baby is cranky and so is everyone else. I don't mind this one because I can imagine it being tough as the parent. However, if the child is being a demon - no thank you.

The Over-Thinkers
Paranoia can set in easily with them which is understandable because planes can be hella scary. Especially on a long haul flight - you have so much time to think that your imagination goes wild. Pleasedontcrashpleasedontcrash.

The Weak Bladder
Ever had that person next to you who always has to say excuse me because they need the toilet about 40 times? That's my mum. 

The Instagrammer
Again, guilty of this but seriously, if you're lucky enough to have a window seat - take the shot! Being up in the air is such an experience and the marshmallows are just fascinating. 

The Nose Picker
This is absolutely gross. I have seen this on every plane. THERE IS BOUND TO BE ONE PERSON NEAR YOU SCAVENGING FOR GOLD! I don't know whether being in the air causes an overproduction of the green little monsters but don't be doing that activity near me. It's not even dainty or discreet, they get their finger lost trying to find something. Go dig out your public manners, I think you lost that too!

Things I Say Sorry To

I say sorry to a lot of things. Sometimes because the things that happened were an accident, the other times - not so much. Oops. The important factor is who or what I've said sorry to which has made me question how weird or terrible I am.

Here is a list of things I have said sorry to and their reasons.

1.The table leg, because I thought I kicked a human.

2. The Toy Story 3 'Peas' plushie because they fell down the side of the bed.

3. A Chinese woman on the train because I went to uncross my legs in a crowded area and decided to full on kick her. Accident, of course. I ain't that mean.

4. A hungry bird while eating food because I didn't want to get into trouble for feeding things that poop on us.

5. To a woman for grabbing her t-shirt and hair while I was falling backwards on a moving train. She was the first thing I saw to grab because I panicked.

6. To my grandma for eating the last bun after finally telling me she had never tried those buns before, even though she encouraged me to eat it. Eh? My guilty conscience is bad.

7. This is a bad one, pouring a bit of orange squash over my sister when we were younger because she was annoying me. REALLY AM SORRY FOBO!

8. To a cat because I had to put it down on the ground after cuddling it and it was still purring. 

9. To my cousin for dropping her after she was climbing on me. 

10. To locals in Hong Kong because I don't speak Cantonese. Actually they say sorry to me too for not speaking English which shouldn't be the case.

11. To anyone I'm speaking to before my phone battery dies.

12. To people I'm walking with in a group because I've got little legs and I'm slow. But seriously, they need to slow their long legs down. Tiny over here can't keep up.

13. To my boyfriend because I didn't feel like having sex - for the third day in a row...

14. To family and friends because I'm not drinking alcohol on a night out...or enough of it

15. My eyelids after pinching the skin with an eyelash curler.

I'm sure there are plenty more but for now, this is all I can remember. You get the gist, I say it to random objects and people. To be honest, I sound really clumsy.
