And let's crack on with today's first story.

Much love, guys.

Now today's first story comes from a throwaway account.

And there is a whole bunch of trigger warnings on this one.

Thank you.

my dad paid for after he embarrassed me on the flight. My dad of 52 male had planned a holiday

for him and me, 26 female. He had paid for the holiday

and said it was his treat and given me spending money. The plan was that I was to fly over to

meet him in his home country and spend a few days with him and my granddad before flying out

for the two weeks of holiday. The next day when we got the flight, he had a few drinks before we got on the plane, as he's a nervous flyer. I decided to just have a few Diet Coke, as it was too early for me to drink. When we got on the plane, he took the window seat and I sat in the middle seat. Then a man I'd never met was on the aisle seat, and his family were across the aisle. front of us were a family, mom, dad and young child maybe about three.

Before the plane took off, four and a half hours flight, he was talking a lot about the

physics of planes and what can go wrong.

The man next to me told him, you're going to scare your daughter.

My dad kind of joked it off and then continued.

During the safety briefing, he kept talking over it and prodding me when I was trying to listen.
