    I remember when airlines would just take your fucking bag, no charge. Then everyone got fucking pissy about fuel prices during the great recession and suddenly it’s $15 a bag, and today it’s $30. But carry-ons are free, of course, so now I get to watch two hundred idiots take five minutes apiece to shove their entire wardrobe in an overstuffed bag the wrong way in the overhead bins and miss my connection because every fucking airline is the worst goddamn airline, and nobody cares anymore.
