I laughed harder at this comment than I care to admit.

There wasn't a sign against it. And now there will be.

It's the new first class experience: it allows you to shit in the economy section.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

Southwest doesn't have classes. Everyone's third class.

Anyone else remember when flying was such a big deal people actually dressed up for it?

"Ears weren't the only thing popping..." What else was popping?

[–] Lazhward@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe 'popping a squat'?

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess someone thought "popping" and "pooping" were the same word.

Or maybe there's a naked joke to "popping"? Like, uh... maybe something like... popping open button-fly jeans?

[–] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Perhaps eyes popping in disbelief? I didn't get it either.

Average Southwest flight experience

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

I've never had a bad Southwest experience. I guess it's just like retail stores, fast food, or package delivery - who you love and hate varies with the people there. And no one ever agrees on the rankings.

This being Southwest Airlines, are we sure it wasn't a flight attendant?

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Is Southwest basically the Walmart of airlines?
