Pilot Problems

Having to fly 4 legs in a day for the second time all year.

Having to play golf for 3 days in the mountains while we waited to go back home.
 
Always forgetting to grab a towel when you go to shower at home because you're used to the rack being within arm's reach of the shower in hotel rooms.

Not uncommon for people confused in the night to walk into the hall wearing their underwear or less. Before they realize what they did the door closes and locks behind them.

I'd laugh, but I walked out of my hotel room a couple times with only my underwear on.

If I were to take it, I would be the classic example of "Dude, I was on Ambien, I have no idea why I'm in a stolen police car three-hundred miles away and it's pushback time".
 
How about the hotels always hanging all those dry cleaning bags and paperwork on the hangers in your closet? I only need a few hangers and every time I have to unclip all that crap and toss it out of the way. How much dry cleaning do I need done on a 9 hour layover?

The other thing that annoys me is having no AC plugs on or near your night stands. The only available plug is 30 feet away behind or under a desk. And then, they have six things plugged into a two plug outlet via an adapter - no fire hazard there....roll eyes.

I think the longer you fly the more annoying these little dumb things become.

And then there is the housekeeping staff that start jabbering in the hall right outside your room at 6 AM despite you having a "do not disturb" sign on your door" after getting to your room at midnight.

There's hundreds more but I'll save the morning stress.
 
The Jackwagon™ who comes into the crashpad bedroom at midnight talking to someone on the phone and turns on the lights to rummage around in his bag.

"Oh, hey, sorry man. You don't have an early show do you?"
 
I've only had one flying job but...


Getting a pat on the back from the skydivers for deciding to put fuel in the airplane...
 
Getting called out for a flight, only to be just pulling into the hangar and being told it's cancelled.

Twice today...

With that....

I'm a married man. I leave the toilet seat and lid down at home. On a trip - not so much. It has carried over a few times and my wife has a couple paragraphs worth of words for me ;)
 
Or getting to the hotel late and walking into your room, using the bathroom, slipping off your shoes, slipping the tie off and then you suddenly notice a suitcase and some odds and end personal effects just as you turn on the room light to investigate. It's all good until the lady next to her sleeping husband lifts her head and starts screaming as you come out of the shadows taking your uniform off. I swear to God I thought I was going to get killed by her husband who looked like a bodybuilder. I'm throwing crap out in the hall as fast as I can trying to explain the mix-up with my pants down around my knees. I left my socks in the room but it just didn't seem worth banging on the door to ask for them back.

Suffice to say the desk clerk heard a few choice words from me. I got a nice suite out of the deal but since that day, every time I walk into a hotel room, I do a little recon so as not to surprised by the room snatchers. :eek2:
