I get that he didn't feel like he needed help. But he told his family he'd be back before sundown so wouldn't the thought to call or even text your family to let them know you're ok cross your mind? That's the part that seems strange to me.

I mean, most of them are if you consider a coffin "locked up."

You're so close to your 1 year chip! We're all proud of you!

Food? What food? I didn't even know they had food...

Man I've done this before but maybe spent 15 minutes and that felt like an hour. A whole hour must have felt like a whole day.

My problem is that I AM buying something but I stand there analyzing all the options just walk out with 1 thing. As I'm checking out I start to wonder if anybody realized that I've just spent 15 minutes standing at one shelf to end up buying 1 bottle of infant cough syrup.

Damn it, man! I just bought a big pack of those little boxes of raisins for my toddler yesterday. Now I'm gonna remember this and instinctively check the damn box before I give them to her. Thanks a lot!!

Interesting. Not saying you're wrong because, sure, I can hear some crying with mine too but with music or a podcast playing its a distant background noise that my brain just kind of ignores, I guess. But I like to do work on planes so now I'm wondering if I just got used to tuning it out when I'm zoned in. I'm also one of those weirdos that can sleep on planes. So... I Might be in a small group of outliers on this one.

The likelihood of each of us dying goes up every day we wake up. So by your logic we might as well just all kill ourselves now and get it over with? As much as I agree with your list of real concerns, your suggesting we should put an end to human kind altogether because life is getting harder each generation?

I had a man in his 60s tell me "if you board a flight without noise canceling headphones in 2023, that's on you."

We were flying to Italy (from US) with our 5 month old to visit my Aunt one last time before she passed away a few months later. Baby cried here and there for a total of maybe 1.5 out of the 9 hours. We felt so guilty but people were incredibly nice at the end when we apologized for disturbing their flight.

She's a pretty good flyer overall but will throw her occasional 5 minute fits. I think about that man's joke after working our asses off to calm her down.

Don't have vacations or visit family even if it's for a wedding or funeral. Stay inside your house until your kids graduate high school to be sure. Having a life is not worth the possibility of inconveniencing other people for a few hours every so often. You're ruining other people's lives if you do so.
