After partying in Las Vegas New Year’s Eve, I was hungover and had not slept for 48 hours. I was not going to pay for an overpriced hotel, so I curled up on a seat at the airport with my jacket over my head and napped until they announced boarding. We were stopping over in Albuquerque before heading home. I sleepily gathered my party hat and canvas bag, then hoped to doze quietly on the plane for the rest of the flight.
After boarding, I sat by a window and tried to get comfortable. Suddenly two bimbos (not attractive, one had a beer gut and the other was anorexic) introduced themselves and plopped down next to me. I opened one eye to acknowledge their presence and closed it again.
Then the giggling started. They were giggling over the stupidest conversation. It was like two Tickle Me Elmo dolls in stereo. They talked about making out at some guy’s party, sex, how much they drink, and how fun it is to get drunk. Giggle. Giggle. Giggle.
Then, the airline stewardess began to crack jokes over the speaker and egged them on. Awful puns, horrible stand up comedy right on the plane. The only people laughing were the bimbos. I reluctantly drank tomato juice and wished this nightmare would end.
No, they weren’t Vegas bimbos either. They were small town sluts who escaped for a weekend. By the time the flight ended and we were leaving the plane, the bimbos complimented that wretched stewardess for being so entertaining. I gave them all a dirty glare. When the girls were ahead of me at the airport, I called out, “I hope you both get pregnant, happy new year!” They turned to see who said that but I hid behind some tall guy.
The flight was delayed at Albuquerque because of a technical malfunction. However it was a quiet flight en route home.

I was feeling some sympathy until you showed your true colors. Sounds like you would have had a problem with them no matter how they behaved.
I bet you're a devote Rush Limbaugh fanboi, OP.
So getting annoyed at two tarts and an idiotic flight attendant cracking jokes for the entire flight makes the poster mean and a rush limbaugh fan? Wow. There are people who would have made a real stink about that one. Demanding to be moved and having the flight attendant stop her comedy routine. This person put up with it untill the very end. I would have told them to shut up right off the bat. Bug off trolls.
Sounds like a rough flight but to feel better in the knowledge mine was worse between Qatar and London. I had managed to find myself amongst screaming Somalian kids that seen their fat mother sit there oblivious to the screaming for hours.
Next trip will involve sleeping tablets for sure! About to do the same route next month.
Wow, how the heck did Rush Limbaugh get involved in this? Belle, leave uninvolved politics out of this. I think we both agree the OP was a jerk about this. Sure he was hung over and not at his best, but these two girls did nothing wrong, they simply were enjoying themselves. Shouting that, and then hiding, shows what a coward he was. Rush Limbaugh had nothing to do with it, and before you shout any partisan taunts, neither did Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or Sarah Palin.
The poster's misogyny disgusts me. He calls them bimbos and sluts, he comments on their appearance when it's completely irrelevant. I think he should post a photo of himself so we can judge him.
That's what I was thinking too. I mean, why is it that men can go to Vegas and have as many prostitutes that they want or pick up whatever slut will have them and it's hilarious? And yeah, I'm sure he's a real looker too.
So pretty much because you can't hold your liquor and stayed up too late, the rest of the world sucks and you have to write about it, how long after the fact? Geesh, you caused this not them. GROW UP.
Hey, Horatio Hungover, I wonder how you'd stack up if anyone decided to talk about your appearance? "My sister and I were on a flight from Vegas, and this stinky, smelly, drunken lardass with a jacket over his head was slumped in the window seat like a corpse–really, we thought he was dead, he smelled so foul! He woke up to burp, fart and drink tomato juice so we realized he was still breathing, but sitting next to him was worse than sitting next to a screaming baby! It was all we could do to keep our spirits up with such an unpleasant travel companion, but fortunately we kept up a patter with the flight attendant, which was enjoyed by the rest of the people on the flight, save the drunken 'dead body' in the window seat!"
You're not special and it's all about perspective. Having a hungover person next to you while flying is no picnic–hungover people STINK, and they usually are too hungover to realize it. Try treating people decently. For a CHANGE. It might reap you a few benefits. Zero sympathy for you.
you could have quietly got up and spoken to the flight attendant and they then would have addressed the problem in a kind and efficient manner, (if not ask the girls nicely if they could be quieter) Oh my God that may just work!
Hiding behind the tall man after insulting someone? Coward.
Wow I'm thinking anyone or anything would have provoked you, guess it's everyone Else's fault you had a hangover poor baby.
