On my flight home from NYC on Monday, I spent the first 45 minutes trying to access the plane's wifi. The instructions onscreen led to a webpage that said the plane's ISP was down: "Corrupt." Meanwhile, my wife landed on some phishing site that immediately spammed her phone with ads. She literally had to power off her phone to escape the shitshow. I showed the flight attendant the error message, and she rolled her eyes so hard, the pilot had to re-level the aircraft.

"You have to turn on Cellular." Okay. "But turn *off* Wifi." Oh, off. "But now turn on Airplane Mode." Okay. "But now open a webpage and type 'Wi-fi' with a hyphen." Okay, but the network doesn't have a hyphen? "Right. And now that you've opened the page, turn *off* Airplane Mode. God, you're so old."

This airline was in the news today, BTW.

And if you need to take a shit - don’t. Hold it or pay us $15 per log to dispose of your waste. 💩
