Um no, you can like the idea of getting somewhere, and parts of the process, without liking the bumpy side of the process.

I love Japan, I love Australia, I'd love to see Pompeii. I love the restaurants and shops in airports, even with the delays. But I fucking hate turbulence. 

So all I really hate is turbulence, not travel, not delays.

It does no good for any human to bitch about delays in air travel if that bitching causes the business to lead the crew and pilot to make deadly mistakes. 

I sat in Brisbane's airport coming home this last time expecting an AM flight, but didn't take off until 9pm.  I still had fun because I had a mall and bunch of food courts and designated smoking areas to go to.  I actually hated the bouncing around for almost 13 hours once the flight to LA from  Brisbane took off.

You mistake my meaning.

And I’ve seen Pompeii. It’s not that great.

Last year I had my Redneck friend John buy and send me an Amazon copy of this original magazine above. I don't care what you personally think of Pompeii. I do know the pictures of the dead in that issue haunted me as a child.

This is the most haunting picture in a magazine marketed to kids.

That was nice of John to do that for you.

Yes, it was, but considering that both of us were best friends with Bob, our late friend from Australia, I think paying for John's airfare so he could see where our late friend lived in Brisbane was worth the investment.

Ok, you just ruined it. Well done.

What the fuck did I ruin?  Mentioning I paid for his trip? 

I doubt you 'd get him to agree with that. But you are welcome to ask him personally if you like. Pretty sure my pointing this out to you, isn't going to piss him off. 

Maybe your perpetual looking for flaws in me, must piss you off that I am capable of giving and compassion.

Wait...what does Bob have to do with wanting to see Pompeii?

I didn't point that out to you to make him feel bad. John knows he doesn't owe me. You simply reject every damned thing I do and say. And that is the only reason I brought it up.

Let’s just say it’s very financially philadelphic of you.

You have mentioned it before.  More than once.
