Ten hours is my cutoff. If I can drive to a place in 10 hours I'll do so.
For some reason, the very worst of society are the ones that need to get on an airplane. I kissed the passenger side of aviation goodby years ago. I hope never to go back. I've scrubbed puke out of carpet and off of seats enough.
Take it from me, passenger planes are cesspools and yet people insist on eating from tray tables, walking about barefoot, and entering the bathroom without a thought in the world as to how much fecal matter is smeared on every surface in there. They're greyhound busses that go up in the air.
I can't blame those who can afford it for having their own planes. I only wish they didn't point their excessively pedicured finger at me for running my gas lawn mower and fly their private jet to a celebrity event where they speak about the evils of cow farts.

I actually had someone tell me, at the height of covid, when no sane person would seal themselves in a tube with strangers for hours at a time, that airplanes were one of the cleanest spaces around because they're scrubbed clean between flights and the air is constantly filtered.

A guy at the site in Co Springs where I sometimes have a job told me just that. His company manufactures and supplies the air filters.

It's Keto Coffee. 40 pounds of Keto Coffee in 4 different flavors.

Killed the charge on the credit card.

Asked the shipper to send me a return shipping label so they would not be out of product and cash. Crickets.

How long do I need to wait until I just chuck it all into the trash?
Update: Today I received the books and materials for a Real Estate School that I had already killed off the payment for about 450.

Pretty sure my ID has been compromised. My bank put a halt to it.

Anyone willing to cover shipping on half a ton of BS coffee supplement with books on how to do shady real estate deals?

You must cover shipping.

PM if interested.

You MUST cover shipping.

They're right back to being cesspools.

The whole experience stinks these days. From the lowest rung of employable society barking orders and pawing their misshapen fingers through your personal items in the security line, to the horrendously low-quality food available in the airports, to the rudeness of the glorified waitresses of the sky once you board, the whole experience is abysmal. I find my fellow travellers to be easily the least annoying thing about air travel. I find that they're far more dignified as a whole than any of the rest of the airport/air travel experience.

Now that said, I fly without complaint because it's simply the fastest and most efficient way of getting where I need to go. Modern travel is completely without charm.

Harrumph. Get off my lawn. Kids these days.

Following up on this item.
The ManBun Coffee Company place was not interested in sending me a return label. 40 pounds of keto flavored coffee lie in 2 boxes in my kitchen.

Yesterday, delivery of Real Estate educational booklets. Already knew it'd be too much of a bend up to try and return. Besides, it's paid for educational junk. I leave it wrapped and toss it into a paper recycle can and my conscience is clean.

Today, I was able to get a return label for:

So, whoever has your ID has ordered specialty coffee, real estate materials, and hemp based sleep aids. I'm trying to picture a trend here.
