The silent prayer during boarding - eyes locked on every stranger coming down the aisle: please keep walking, please keep walking. The middle seat's armrest rage. The long walk through first class. The guy who visits the bathroom every twenty minutes. The single cough, four rows up, that turns forty adults into amateur doctors.
We all think it. Nobody says it. This book says it.
Twenty-one hilarious confessions, one from every seat on the airplane:
- The Boarding Prayer - the roulette wheel of please not me
- The Middle Seat Manifesto - both armrests. It's the law.
- The Flight Attendant Smiles - what that smile is holding back
- The Pilot Would Like to Get There Too - announcements, decoded
- The First-Class Gauntlet - the walk-through, from both directions
- The Cougher in 14C - one tickle, forty verdicts
- The Phantom of Row 21 - someone farted. Silently. They are among us.
- Turbulence Theology - everyone finds God at the first bump
- The Deplaning Stampede - stand up instantly, go absolutely nowhere
...plus the Talker, the Sleepers, the Recline War, the Overhead Bin Hunger Games, the baby in 9B, the landing clappers, and the final boss: baggage claim.
Laugh-out-loud funny, surprisingly warm, and 100% true - the perfect gift for frequent flyers, nervous flyers, flight crews, and anyone who has ever whispered please don't sit next to me and then smiled warmly when they did.
Read it at the gate. Laugh on the plane. Apologize to no one.
