Captivity post script

I am being punished for recent bad behavior.

The formerly mentioned elderly and senile mother and daughter reunion have made my trip hell.

The older one stinks for starters.

As the plane started descending the older one decided a toilet stop was necessary. It took her ten minutes to get out of her chair. I timed it.

I then spent yet another next ten minutes standing and eventually took her inside seat in the interests of public good – the seat belt sign had come on.

Now I am trapped … They are waiting for all to deplane before getting up and then I have another ten minutes waiting for enough energy to coarse through the aging muscular-skeletal system.

I have just suggested that she starts rising now. This irony was lost on them.
