Everything that could possibly go wrong on a flight ever
As I am preparing to fly overseas in a month or so with the boy, my thoughts have been on travel lately. And as I am a natural worrier, my thoughts (and dreams) have been mostly lingering on the possible things that could go wrong with the flight, with the holiday, with every single little thing.
1.) That Stupid Volcano
Some of my friends are currently in Ireland and are meant to be coming home today. Not 100% sure if they will, as that sodding volcano that was bothering the UK, Ireland and most of Europe a while back is still causing a few mishaps weeks down the line. I, of course, am obviously fretting that it will affect my journey plans and mess up everything for me.
2.) The flight gets cancelled in any other way
I NEED this holiday. I haven't had a holiday for years. That flights needs to not be cancelled or I will personally frown very harshly at whoever or whatever is the cause of cancelling.
3.) Crashing
Of all the thousands of flights that take place each and every day, it is so very, very rare that anything really, really bad happens to any of them. This will be what is repeated in my head throughout the 15 hour (at least) flight.
4.) Terrorists
THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
5.) We're late
If you know me at all, you will know I have an absolute phobia of being late. I hate being late. It doesn't matter if it's for work or even just meeting a friend, I despise being late, and it makes me one of those annoying people who always needs to know what the time is. The thought of being late for something as important as this flight actually makes me feel a little sick. I've had approximately four dreams (that I can remember) where I've been late for the flight. My subconscious needs to get some more material.
6.) We're late
7.) We're late
8.) We're late
I really hate being late.
9.) I pack something dodgy
I've checked the airline's 'what you can take, what you can't, what will make the plane explode, etc' lists quite a few times and I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to bring hairspray, cameras, earphones, hair dye, etc, without getting into too much trouble. But what if the rules ~suddenly~ change. I may have to leave behind something nice or may be BANNED FROM FLYING FOREVER. Maybe my bags will be too heavy or too big. This will most likely end up with me being BANNED FROM FLYING FOREVER.
10.) Someone plants something dodgy on me
Popping to the loo ? Someone will definitely put a bomb in your bag while you're turned to the sink washing your hands. Everyone knows this happens ALL the time.
11.) Anything could happen to your tickets or passport at any time
We have our tickets and our passports are in date. But we could lose any of them or they could spontaneously combust at ANY moment.
12.) Something's wrong with the left filanji.
Remember that episode of Friends ? Could totally happen.
I need to chill out.
