| And why does traveling involve people faring you? I’m PP and we don’t travel in a group; it’s just our family of four. |
| I think you don’t like the trip you are currently on and you’re having a bad day. Sorry to hear that. Not sure this needed to become a travel topic! |
| Why would people hate you? You sound like a real treat. |
Probably more appropriate in Family. |

My spouse just got yelled at by her siblings spouse. Rambles about 30 years of issues in a restaurant where 10 members of family gathered.
I am outsider and trying to support her. Something’s you can’t take back once yelled and spit in someone’s face |
| My main issue is missing my pets. I hate being away from them. |
Hmmm, I’ve had some of the best experiences and food of my life on my travels. Where are you going? |
| You dont want ti travel to see national parks in the US and elsewhere to hike etc? |
| I love it but I can now pay for better seats, lounges, rooms, etc. Makes a big difference. |
| I hate flying. I hate feeling like cattle, lied to about boarding, delayed, waiting and waiting...Find it exhausts me and takes away the joy. This summer we flew Air France and it was a million times better than my usual experience and redeemed travel for me a little. |
| OP, I want details. Where are you? Why are you being forced to interact with strangers? |
|
Sounds like OP married someone from another country and the visit to their FOO isn't going well.

I wonder how much the quality of a person’s daily life affects how they feel about flying and other aspects of travel. I work in the federal government and often feel like cattle, am lied to, delayed and left waiting. These features of flying have never even entered my consciousness. I don’t know why I’ve never thought about it in this way before. DH has a similar job and when we fly we just look around wondering why everyone is whining so much. I used to date a guy with an awesome job in finance that gave him a lot of freedom. We flew business or first and were able to use the nice lounges and he still complained about everything. Maybe the secret to loving travel is having kind of a borderline crappy daily existence. |
| Same PP as above. I’ll also say my son enters ANY hotel room and says, ”Beautiful room!!” |
Funny, I am not from the US and I think Americans are SO nice: they smile to you, are helpful, chatty. |
