Shoulda taken requests instead

I hear you and I like your optimistic and slow to judge take on it. But the keyboard commando in me really wants to lash out about the musical choice. But you have set a good example, and I will grit my teeth and follow your lead.

You're my wonder waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pretty sure that’s been classified as an act of terrorism.

He would get stabbed with a broken toothbrush

Or Freebird

Maroon 5 was his boarding group.

I don't have a musical instrument, but if I did you bet your ass I'd be keeping it in my sight rather than let the cargo handlers beat the absolute shit out of it.

If overhead bins are for anything, they should be for important things like that.

The reason overhead space is so crowded in the first place is because airlines have created a perverse pricing structure which charges extortionately for checked luggage and encourages everyone to take the biggest carry-ons they can.

Would you trust your instrument to be stored under the plane? I don't have a problem with people bringing fragile items into the cabin. That doesn't mean it's his main character moment to pull it out and dazzle a (literally) captive audience.

I have seen instruments on board but I dont think you can just "take a whole overhead bin" without having permission to take something larger then a normal carry-on with you. I bet they charge you more than double what a normal carry-on would set you back.

You’re kinda a dick if you do. A guitar will take up an entire bin that is for a row of three people.

If you ask nicely, you might get a flight attendant who can put it in the closet at the front of the aircraft usually reserved for business class.

Otherwise get a hard case and check it with your fingers crossed.

I took my travel guitar on my latest flight. Not as small as a Traveler-brand one, but I was able to put it behind 2 other roller-bag carry-ons that were rotated length-wise instead of depth-wise along with my partner's CPAP. Still meant 4 bags in the overhead slot like normal. I just put my CPAP bag under the seat in front of me and didn't bring a backpack, instead. Same net result.

But that's with a travel guitar, specifically the Enya Nova GO SP1 which is much smaller than my mini-jumbo Washburn (EA15). I don't know how on earth I'd fly with that short of making arrangements to put it in a special location besides the luggage compartment. I'd be too worried about it being damaged even in a hard case, especially from the atmospheric changes.

What the hell? That deserves a fly-tackle, for sure!

We've already heard about Jesus, now shut the hell up.

Solution: (but put some tape over it's mouth too)

Bro should've known to start with covers from the Doom Eternal soundtrack.

What, do you think the crew is just going to sit there when this guy is the only thing keeping them from leaving? As soon as everything else keeping them from taking off is resolved they'll politely tap him on the shoulder to let him know to put the guitar away.

Flights don't get delayed because someone is standing or unbuckled.

Edit: to anyone that disagrees, you are wrong. I travel for work and fly all the time. There have been plenty of flights where someone was standing to get something as were taxing. And after the crew has walked by there is literally nothing stopping you from unbuckling. They don't even stay and stare at you to buckle. It's just a passing comment.

If you think otherwise you are wrong. I'm editing this because I don't need to reply and correct every dumbass that think they know better and have never fucking flown.

The stages of forum disbelief:

1. Wait, some of this stuff is fake?!
2. That's fake!
3. That's fake too!
4. That's FAKE, well, it's a funny scenario. Who cares if the OP is fake? Look at the discussion it spawned.
5. Haha, another fake post, let's see what they're saying about it anyway, lol those silly fakers.

and then everyone fucked

Right. With today's coverage of events this would have been posted on tiktok and YouTube from 4 different point of views.

Nothing ever happens.

He may have. You can't tell from this post.

The old guy probably would have yelled at him to take it off anyways.
