| Airline Travel |
I don't understand people's penchant for air travel. To me, it is the absolute worst way to spend your time. It's tedious, boring, annoying and uncomfortable. According to the above graph, half the people in the country are with me, though I expect that the reason they aren't flying is they don't have any money, much less enough to blow on airline tickets. So I am kind of an outlier. I can certainly afford a plane ticket, but I would rather go to the dentist than go to the airport. A visit to the dentist, while annoying, is going to be over in an hour, while a trip on an airplane is going consume the entire day. Anyway, I don't have any sympathy for people waiting in line for hours because of the TSA snafu. I suspect most of them are line-waiters by nature. If they weren't in line there, they would be looking for another line they could get in and wait. Herd animals is what they are. Sheep in other words. Guess that's nothing new.

I love seeing the world, but air travel is so miserable my limit to switch to flying is 14 hours of driving. An hour to the airport, 2 hours of waiting, flight, connection with one hour wait, flight, rental car line. At 10 hours drive, I am ahead, 14 since so many flight delays and missed connections.
Can't wait for the tunnels under oceans. Hurry up, Elon.
I am 100% on board with Anonymous above, but if it's just me going, my limit to switch is closer to 20 hours. I'll even ride 20 hours in a day on a motorcycle to avoid flying.
