When she said don’t worry, and you’ll be fine
It’s only a matter, a matter of time
As she sits back and finishes her wine
She prays to the Lord I’ll be fine
Mother’s Prayer by Mest

Jessica Zafra: How Not To Be In An Airport Altercation
09-May-12, 7:07 PM | Jessica Zafra, InterAksyon.com
This is a compendium of tips that used to fall under “common sense”, but that was back when “common sense” wasn’t ironic.
1. Airlines suck, so be prepared.
1.1. Do people still say “suck”? In this case we mean it literally. They suck up your money and blow out bad service, confident in the knowledge that at some point you will have no choice but to fly with them again.
1.2. Airlines suck everywhere, not just in the Philippines. At least the food on our airlines tastes like food. If they serve food at all.
1.2.1. When you complain about budget airlines screwing up, people shrug and say, “Well, you get what you paid for.” But expensive airlines also screw up. What’s their excuse?
1.2.2. If you do not want to endure the cramped conditions and perfunctory service in cattle class, fly business or first class. Flying business class doesn’t guarantee good service either, but the staff is prepared to deal with your complaints. Or to ply you with liquor until you shut up. By paying twice the price of economy, you become a valued customer they don’t want to offend.
1.2.2.1. Yes, life sucks. People are not judged on merit but according to how much money they have.
1.2.2.2. Correction: On how much money they seem to have. Humanity is not only unfair but shallow.
1.2.2.3. Even if the in-flight service is good, you still have to contend with the ground staff at the airport.
1.2.2.3.1. It’s popular to beat up on NAIA (as opposed to getting beaten up at NAIA) but it is not the worst airport on earth. For sheer awfulness visit Charles De Gaulle in Paris (Impressive architecture will not ensure that you and your luggage land at the same time, and well-designed bathrooms don’t clean themselves) and many American airports. Places that are supposed to be the height of civilization. So what’s their excuse?
1.3. There are a few ways to ensure excellent service when you fly.
1.3.1. Be a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist and have your own jet. Or construct your own armored exo-suit so you can fly whenever you want.
1.3.2. Be the crown prince of Asgard and go around looking like the super-muscled vocalist of a heavy metal hair band. To fly, just swing your hammer.
1.3.3. Expose yourself to massive doses of gamma radiation, unleashing the giant green rage monster within you. You won’t be able to fly, but you can leap vast distances.
1.3.4. Their D.C. Comics equivalents. (Which, with the exception of Batman, haven’t been doing working on the big screen.)
1.3.5. In short, none.
1.4. Minimize the amount of aggravation the airline can cause you.
1.4.1. Delayed or lost luggage is a frequent problem. If you can manage it, travel light and bring only cabin baggage. Yes, hand-carry everything.
1.4.2. How much luggage do you need to go to the beach anyway?
1.4.3. Put your valuables and your medication in your cabin baggage. Duh.
1.4.4. If you have a foul temper or anger management issues, make like Dr. Banner and remove yourself from the source of aggravation. Let someone else talk to the ground staff.
2. If you are taking photos or video of famous people making a public spectacle of themselves, be discreet.
2.1. You may have good reason to photograph them, but if they spot you they will get even more pissed off than they already are.
2.1.1. If you’re using your phone, pretend to be shooting someone else, or surfing the net, or reading a long text message. Even if you are fearless. The intention is to keep the peace.
2.1.2. However, if you are offended at the way celebrities maltreat and verbally assault the common people, and you do not fear physical confrontation, go ahead and wade into the fray. Tell the celebrities what asses they are being. It would help if you’ve had martial arts training. The direct approach plays better than the paparazzi approach.
2.1.2.1. To celebrities, people who take their picture are automatically fans or paparazzi scum. They will scream “invasion of privacy”, forgetting that their celebrity was built on aforementioned fans and paparazzi.
2.1.2.2. Pity the famous people who are getting more attention for their bad behavior than for any of their recent work.
2.2. If you have a reputation as a fearless crusader for justice to maintain, you probably have to get involved. To avoid confusion as to your motives, wear a cape embroidered with your superhero logo.
3. What does it mean when a celebrity fistfight at the airport is the big news of the day?
3.1. No news is good news, so is the country doing all right?
3.2. Naah, artista news trumps territorial disputes any time.
