Me as a random passenger, 10 minutes after take-off, and crawling up on the shoreline...

[–] SuperCub 11 points 6 days ago

I mean, that's... the implication, right?

"Please say yes, for fucks sake!"

He’s winging it. It’ll be a turbulent relationship.

^God^ ^dammit.^

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Makes sense, couldn't afford to take time off to do it somewhere nice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Some people like to do it somewhere important, or that has a special relevance to their relationship.

So really it was there or the delta Business lounge bathrooms.

And don't forget the coffee!

You should never propose if you are not 100% sure the answer is yes. You talk about it before. The only thing that should be a surprise is where and how you propose.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree, but I would also add "the particulars of when" to the list of surprising qualities.

I don’t understand public proposals intentionally done before a crowd. Proposals at other people’s weddings are downright bizarre.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I was at a hockey game last weekend where a guy proposed. The camera man couldn’t even be bothered to walk down and catch their faces so all we saw was the back of their heads on the Jumbotron, I thought it was hilarious.

At other peoples’ wedding, that’s just rude.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They are only bizare if they didn't get permission from the couple that's having their wedding.

Otherwise they can be a nice suprise for the wedding.

As for public one's in general they are 100% bizarre.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I think this only makes sense if the engaging couple are like super close with the wedding pair. And even then it depends a lot on the personalities of the couple getting married

Because marriages and weddings are to show the community you're together. That's the whole point. Some people are a bit more extrovert about it than others, as in all things.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah but community pressure shouldn't factor into the equation when making the decison

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah except people do care about this.

Not me though!

Unless others also care about this? In which case yeah I agree.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Chances are, they've talked about it beforehand and it's only a matter of making the decision public...

the more people are watching, the harder it is to say no

“No one’s in any danger! How could I make that any more clear to you? Okay. It’s an implication of danger.”

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I imagine things would take a nosedive

"Ehhh, this is your captain speaking, ehhh, we're gonna be experiencing some turbulence as the plane heads straight down into the ocean, ehhh, please remain seated while the seat belt light is on."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

"ALRIGHT! I"LL SAY YES BUT PLEASE GET BACK INTO THE COCKPIT AND FLY THE PLANE!"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you get clearance, Clarence?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

What’s my vector Victor?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's an implication for sure

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Because if the girl said 'no', then the answer is obviously 'no'. But the thing is she is not gonna say no. She would never say 'no', because of the implication.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really makes you think, was this what happened with MH370? Was this theory ever put out there

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure Russia tried that excuse at one point

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I heard the pilot had three copies of The Sims 3

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The other day we were playing a video game and my 5 year old shouted "DO AN AILERON ROLL!!"

We must be doing something right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Honestly I thought it said pilot proposed to "my" girlfriend.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 2 points 6 days ago

To be fair, it doesn't specify whose girlfriend it was, so it could be yours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

"Babe you have to take this one for the team"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

"Based on the fact you called V1 too early, I'm going to say no."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

That doesn't sound like good crew resource management...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

@ooli2

if i can't have you, nobody will !!!

Gordon Lightfoot plays softly in the background

🎶This old airport's got me down. It's no earthly good to me. And I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be🎶

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

@ooli2 girls are smart, she's on the plane too. Yes, now, second thoughts when we're all on the ground 😉
