SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Houston? kind of Plausible - St George Utah, it is more likely. You could be working or recreating in the desert then head out for a flight with the airport 5 miles away. This could happen if someone was working in the "sticks" with a bag of some sort that they set on the ground then went straight to the airport afterwords.

Houston to Calgary is the corridor between the U.S. oil industry epicenter and the Canadian counterpart. Straight to airport? Heck could have been a roughneck on an oil derrick, they are out in the sticks of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I guess they won't have any overbooked flights for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do try to bump you, just remember: vouchers or other remuneration are capped at $1300 by federal law. But not civil suits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 They're pretty common in Georgia. They'll crawl into bags, blankets, shoes left on the ground. Occasionally they get in the house for the cats to torture. I've been stung a couple times. I know we don't have the " bad@ versions, but it's similar to a wasp sting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Never been stung by a wasp, either. Can you put this in power tool terms? It depends on the wasp. I've been stung by a yellowjacket - it felt like a tetanus booster shot or a flu shot, and only hurt for a few minutes. But last year in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I got stung by a kind of wasp I've never seen before. It felt much the same as a yellowjacket, but the pain lasted for several hours and it was swollen for almost a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I didn't even know they were still together, much less on tour.I saw them live last year. They were fantastic. Schenker and Jabs can still shred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 It fell out of the overhead compartment and onto his head, so he put it on his plate? And then it stung him? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ual-passenger-couple-idUSKBN17J05Q United is quietly quadrupling down on their stellar customer service culture. "No." it's our favorite word. Something has to be eating @ the rank and file, is it the way they are managed? Honestly, who knows what really happened with this above story? When it rains it pours. They have a target on their head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
