Some are in a hurry to go no place fast, like the pin head that's in such a rush to climb over you to get into the aisle. Mean while you are in the last row of a jumbo, probably row 100 in the way back of the jet. And guess what... The jet bridge has not arrived at the jet yet!

TOTD goes to all the engineers who designed hotel rooms with no plugs near the beds. Seriously?! At least one outlet near the bed!
