We missed our original flight leaving for Vegas (our fault - actually we were there within time but due to a 45min baggage call wait they wouldnt let us board) anyways after much drama and running around we were able to get on the next flight out (a little poorer i might add ... funny how what was a free flight ended up costing us!)
So we thought that was bad enough but we certainly werent ready for what came next!
Everything was great until the person seated next to me arrived. He had such an awful body odor that I had to bury my head into J's back to keep from gagging. When he woke up from his nap, he tried to have small conversion with me and usually I'm totally ok with that but every time he spoke he moved in closer to me and I honestly had NO clue what he was saying and of cos his breath stunk so bad! He ordered several bottles of bourbon and drank them straight with just sips of coke in between bottles. Needless to say he was pretty drunk within minutes.
Heres some of the audible bits of the conversation that went on for about 40mins or so. I wish I had a way to record it. It was funny but also very annoying. He was so drunk (and just reeked of alcohol) that everything he said was pure jibberish - my only response was 'ok, thats great, mmm'
'I lived in Vegas. I got your back here so we cool right?' Alright straight... Yea you feeling me right?'
'You know a lot of people dont know this but I'm bilingual. I speak Spanish but yea I dont like to abuse it. Just use it if I need to. You feeling me?'
'Yea yea I got your back, everythings cool'
I kept thinking he was gonna throw up on me!!! He asked the flight attendant for 2 more bottles of bourbon and she got it for him. Once he downed those he wanted more but she couldnt give it to him cos she had already locked everything.
When J got back into his seat (he was walking around) he shook his hand and said 'oh man didnt mean to disrespect your girl but we just talking' He started leaning into me so I leaned forward and I think it upset him cos then he wanted to pick a fight with J. 'You wanna box, you wanna box me. we can box right now' Then he started using foul language at J at which point we got the flight attendants attention. He came over and asked the guy if everything was fine and he kinda blew the flight attendant off. He refused to give him the empty bottles.
I asked to get my seat changed but couldnt cos the flight was full. So J switched seats with me. He started leaning on J and propped his arm up on J's shoulder and then passed out a few mins later. J leaned forward in his seat and this guy practically slumped into J's seat. By this point we had arrived and we were on the tarmac for about 35mins. He was out cold. All the passengers were getting of the plane and he didnt move at all. The passenger in front of us said he was at the bar before the flight and was already drunk.
We were so glad to not have any of that drama on the way back ... everything was going smoothly. That is until we waited forever at baggage claim and one of our bags didnt arrive! J went over to enquire about this and the lady very nonchalantly says 'oh yea that ones arriving on the 9:20pm flight' It was 7pm when we got in to Atlanta. Ugh. so we waited for our bag and only arrived in Cleveland just before midnight. What a long day.
