Enough of that sappy happy holiday crap. Time to get back to being Grumpy McGrumperson.
In this episode:
* I mock an Indian moron that got caught posing as a Lufthansa pilot
* Lots of bare feet on planes
* From our friends at Passenger Shaming, one dude has been seen drying his socks using the air vent above his seat.
* Retired Aussie pilot recounts the crazy shizz he's seen over his 30+ years in commercial aviation. (Hint, bare feet, and lots of personal grooming)
* I recount a story about a passenger eating his own toenail clippings.
* And then I regale you with the story of my last, and worst, Thanksgiving trip.
