THE SMELLY CROTCH LADY

This is my new most embarrassing moment. Me, my daughter and my son flew from LA to North Carolina. It was an all day trip on the worst airline ever – US Airways. Day started at 6am and after going through 3 airports, we finally arrived at 1am! So 19 hours of traveling. And as most of you know, when you travel, you just feel dirty afterwards. Maybe all the millions of peeps that have been in the same seats, the dirty airports. We were on the last leg of our journey, waiting for our last plane to leave and it was 10pm at night. We had to run from one gate to the next. It took us 15 minutes to run through the airport and I have my backpack, my kids two backpacks plus my purse all strung across my body while running so I got a little sweaty. If you’ve read my blog before, you know I sweat. A lot. So finally after the ditz at the US Airways counter tells us that our plane has not arrived and ‘it will not arrive until 8:30 and then it will take at least another 20 – 30 minutes for don’t come back till then’, we decided to go eat. We come back at 8:20 and are promptly told that the plane just left without us. Okay, so after finding out that now we have to fly into a different airport over an hour away from my sis’s house instead of the airport we were going to go into which was 15 minutes and it wasn't leaving until midnight, I am so pissed off. Oh wait, this was supposed to be a story about an embarrassing moment. Okay, so we sit down. We are defeated and tired and I am so mad at US Airways, otherwise known as U suck airways, US Worst airways, whatever, they suck. So many people have bad US Airways stories. SO we are sitting to wait for 2 hours and the seats are all crowded. People sitting next to me on each side. My 5 year old son puts his head into my lap to rest. He promptly jumps up and says VERY LOUDLY, “ewwww, it’s smelly down there!” Of course everyone within earshot heard which was at least 5 people and they were all going on the flight with us. At that point, there is nothing to say. I just kept looking straight ahead and thanked God that I was not in my own hometown. Great, now I am not only the woman who told the US Airways gate agent she’s "an idiot and I fucking hate this airline", I am now the smelly crotch lady too. Thank you son!
