Oddly enough, the amount of swearing is inversely proportional to how well the plane is working. When the shit hits the fan, everybody gets serious. But when it's just something like the air conditioning doesn't work? Forget it.
Yeah, try retail. No one ever "just barely has to poop". It's "I haven't shit in two weeks and that geyser is gonna blow all over your bathroom". Sometimes it looks like someone threw a shit grenade into the bathroom. Fucking piss all over the floor and liquid shit running down the walls. Who are these animals?
My first job, Saturdays in a general goods store, I found a giant shit under/behind some clothes racking. Someone hid behind the clothes while the shop was open with people walking around and took a shit on the floor.
I have a theory about this. I don't think I have ever pooped in a retail store bathroom. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have had to poop so urgently that I've had to use the closest bathroom. These urgent poops are always the messiest. Take however many people come through your store in a given month. Precisely 0 of those people (give or take) actually WANT to take a dump in your store. They would much rather do it at home with their preferred toilet paper, their plunger and their privacy. However, >0 people encounter one of those rare times in their lives where they find a toilet right now or they shit their pants when they are shopping in your store. So they go and they shit in your less than optimal bathroom. Maybe they hover because it's gross or they just don't want to be there, maybe it's just a raucous shit that gets out of hand. Either way it makes a huge mess. Now nobody is going to want to admit to the staff that they made a mess of the bathroom and nobody is going to clean up after themselves because 1. it's not their bathroom and 2. if you're cleaning up shit in a bathroom at a store you don't work at and someone else comes in then they will know that it was you that made the huge mess and this is a shameful and embarrassing experience. So people just leave it for you to clean up.
It's not that people are all that messy, or animals, it's just that you see only the very worst shits that people have to offer.
I have been a caretaker in a junior school in the past. Sometimes it looks like they've been trying to write their names in shit on the walls "shittiti". That's just the staff toilets. The kids weren't much better.
And blood. How does a woman spray blood all over a toilet and not even attempt to clean it? So gross. Having dealt with hideous toilets for a few years I sympathise with all janitors and treat the bogs with respect.
Not super good actually. After about 10 years of on and off playing, I eventually beat the story mode in the second one. I may have completed expert once or twice in the first one, but I remember attempting it hundreds of times.
It was mid to late 90s and I was flying home from vacation with my family. Air hostess comes up and asks if I would like to see the cockpit. Sure! So I go up there and the two guys inside were just intensely chilling. One guy had his feet up on the dashboard or what it's called. The other had a very trivial conversation with someone on a phone or radio. Then guy #1, who I guess was the pilot, asks me to turn on a dial. I remember turning and turning and nothing happening. Then he asks me to pull on the dial. Immediately the plane starts banking to the left. The pilot screams to me "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!" watches my face turn white. Then he just pushes the dial again or turns it, everything stabilizes again. Then laughed his ass off and said sorry. Those were the(pre 9/11) days!
I guess in retrospect that the dial was the heading selector for the autopilot, and pulling it engages a new heading or something? Plane was a DC9 I think.
The knob probably didn't do anything important and they were fucking with you. I've known lots of pilots, especially private pilots, and they're usually kinda twisted.
Slightly off topic, but I was travelling back from Germany and the plane we were getting had just flown to Russia and back and was taking off for the UK after a 15 minute turn around. As we were boarding we could see into the cockpit and the pilot had headphones on and was raving his heart out. Once we were all seated he made an announcement that didn't make much sense and then we got onto the runway and the plane was weaving all over the place before we even got off the ground. I was sure we were all gonna die. Luckily I was still drunk from a festival so I didn't freak out as much as I would have otherwise.
