I read the story and smell a lawsuit. At least a bid to get lifetime business class upgrade, maybe some free tickets. I mean sure, people can be traumatised by all kinds of things, but man… “terror and helplessness?” She’d called her friend who knew where she was. She got around the plane, found a flashlight, even tried the radio, signalled for help in quite an ingenious way. Sure, waking up like that would be freaky but then haven’t we all been disoriented and a bit scared waking up in the dark in a strange place? Wouldn’t have been pitch dark, like in a cave. Can understand the opportunistic nature of it, but man, it pisses me off on some level. For the waste of a good yarn told with a cool and funny spin, and for the way it … yeah nah, maybe it makes me feel better that I’m not such a pussy for how I deal with long term clock spider attack trauma. Those bastards can jump a long way, and I’d never claim night terrors over it. If I was stuck on a plane like that, and had called a friend, oh boy, they would find me in the cockpit, drink from the bar cupboard in hand, and wearing the captain’s hat if it hadn’t been taken home. ‘Course, if I really was in the situation, might it be tempting to exploit it? Hmmm. Nah, pretty sure not. “Recurring night terrors”, lool couldn’t keep a straight face, and on TV too, then look myself in the eye afterwards. If it’s real, my apologies Tiffani, and all the best with your recovery.
