@beyoncegarden Very “Mom” coded. (Dads usually have too much pride to do this.) If a family is $ struggling & disclosed this up front? Prob tolerated. If a family is well off, this is a bit of cheapskate-y thing to do & trains kids that friendships are bought not genuine.
@markhlyon@jbarro The cameras are kind of lazy safety enforcement. The equivalent of a “Beware of Dog” sign w/o the dog. Some understand what’s really being sought & comply ($) others take it as a dare & go barreling along (🏎️💨)
@BarredinDC Depends on who I’m talking to: Use “National” among friends, “DCA” if communicating with airline/airport staff; use “Washington National” with out of towners (versus “Washington Dulles”).
@Mathilde_Lucky@awkwardgoogle Maybe he was taking the high road. If someone is unhinged or under the influence, it’s best to step back and let karma solve things.
@Liv_Boeree Be thankful for any safe flight. As Louis C.K. once said: “Everybody on the plane should just constantly be going ‘Oh my G-d! Wow!’ You are flying! You’re sitting in a chair…in the sky!”
