    Years ago I was flying back east for my grandma's funeral. My flight was very early on Saturday morning so I stayed up all night drinking, with breakfast at the airport, on the first leg, and all the way through my several hour layover at CLT. Between the drinking and not sleeping at all I was a mess. I got lost looking for my gate, panicked, and somehow ended up taking a ride on one of those carts to it. Somehow they let me board (they really shouldn't have tbh) and I had been upgraded to first. I tried to order another drink but they cut me off. I think I got snippy at them or something but I fell asleep/passed out for most of the flight. I wake up and I'm being guided off the plane by one or two security guards or cops. We get to the end of the jet bridge and I see a "Welcome to Albany" sign. I was supposed to land in Scranton. All of a sudden I start panicking that I did something to divert the flight. Well apparently I got up and pissed all over the bathroom at some point during the flight so the flight attendants thought I was absolutely obliterated.

    The nap did me some good I guess. I was able to coherently tell them why I was traveling and explained I was really tired, upset, and apologized for my behavior and they just let me go. Also while I was passed out/sleeping they had announced we were being diverted to Albany because of weather in Scranton.

    I ended up having to spend a night at a shitty airport Best Western but I was not banned from flying American. So this is where my bar is at.

    My only memory of the Scranton airport was some guy bolting off the plane the second the door opened and some chick shouting to stop him because he grabbed her ass or something. He got away physically. Obviously very easy to figure out who he was but I wasn’t involved so no clue how things were handled.

    I was the last person to board the plane on a flight home from Vegas. Middle seat with a hangover from being drunk for 4 days straight and coming down from taking a bunch of Molly wasn't fun

    I think if I could be sober and have someone punch me in the face before I got on the plane, I would have had a better time

    Toy Story 4 is the best one! Keanu Reeves as Duke Kaboom is an awesome character addition! We’ve been wearing it out in our house too.

    I like to think they created Forky as an attempt at inclusion for children who watch the movie but parents can't afford or choose not to buy them toys.

    Also thought a read they’re making a Toy Story 5 and Andy is the parent.

    This was part of the problem. I didn't know wtf I was doing, and I had re-dosed at least 3 times at that point. My friends told me to do one hit, whatever I felt comfortable with, and that's it. Obviously drunk me knew better.

    First and last time I ever messed with it. It was incredible for like the first 12 hours but the comedown was so bad that I'll never do it again.

    His anxiety dictates that he get there that early to get through security, but now he’s getting anxious about flying, so he’ll probably drink too much

    Meeting I came here for was supposed to last till 3, it was over at 10. Had to check out of hotel and not sure what else to do other than get to airport. I ain’t going to a bar and getting hammered and having to drive here.

    I enjoy killing time at bars in random places (and airports) as much as anyone but there's nothing else you could do wherever you are? That much time at the airport seems like a bad time.

    I’m on standby for an earlier flight. I didn’t even think about that due to never have done it but one of the guys at the meeting said he was on a 2:30 flight so I asked them if I could get on that one. I’ve had a ranch water and a crown and Diet Coke which normally wouldn’t be much for me but it’s the most I’ve drank in awhile.

    Made it at 5:53. Left a little early just in case rush hour was bad. People from Kentucky can’t drive.
