Today, after being terrified for years, I went on a plane for the first time. It was also the first time I "emergency landed." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I traveled by plane for the first time. Once in the air, I was absolutely terrorized by the whole experience. Luckily, they had free booze on board, so I necked some to steady my nerves. Unfortunately, the vodka mixed with air turbulence made me spurt some vomit into my lap. FML
Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML
Today, I flew to Mexico with my (now ex) boyfriend of two years. It was my first time flying, and apparently I have a fear. I had a panic attack on the plane. When we landed, I got dumped for "causing a scene." I am now stranded in Mexico alone for two weeks with no hotel room booked. FML
Today, my ex looked at me for the first time in months. I felt like I could fly. Seconds later my flight ended. I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, after 10 years of frequent international air travel, I got my seat upgraded for the very first time. Also, for the very first time in 10 years, the airline lost my luggage. FML
Today, I went on my first ever assisted skydive. I fainted after we jumped, and only came to as we touched the ground. FML
Today, after spending the night anxiously waiting for a negative COVID test result which would allow me to travel, I got to the airport in the morning, despite delays, and finally realized that my wallet is sitting on my couch at home. I'm on the plane now. There's no going back. FML
Today, I left on my honeymoon with my wife who is terrified of flying. The pilot announced incoming storms in the flight path, and the man next to me starts saying it's "probably fate" and "we all have to go sometime." My wife went into a full panic attack. We hadn't even left the ground yet. FML
Today, I was on an airplane, riding in first class for the first time in my life. The man next to me turned to me just before takeoff, stared at my chest, and said that he hoped there would be severe turbulence. FML
Today, I'd booked a window seat for my first flight because I wanted to enjoy the view. A few minutes after takeoff, I fell asleep. I woke up just as we were about to land, with a dead phone, a stiff neck, and absolutely no idea what the clouds looked like. FML

Ydi for being afraid of something without ever having experienced it.

are you afraid of being stabbed? well you shouldn't be because you've never experienced it right?

Dude just because a person hasn't tried something before doesn't mean they can't be scared of it. For example most people are scared of car accidents occurring (major ones) even though they haven't experienced one.

Regardless if whether or not she was afraid of planes, if she took the same plane, it still would have "emergency landed".

So, you're not afraid of dying, being in a coma, getting shot, or getting stabbed? Assuming you've never experienced any of those.

ya like when 9/11 hit and i was in lockdown in Pearson International for 19 hours
mjninety 9
Wow... Hundreds of people died that day and you are bitching about a 19 hour lockdown?

Yes, your lockdown is so much worse than thousands of innocent people losing their lives.

the emergency landing wasn't because of you was it?
