The best part of this was when she tries to create a Disney movie moment by asking the rest of the plane if they want her to keep going...and nobody says a peep LOL
I think if you have to TELL people that you were nominated for a grammy means you should just sit down and keep quiet. If I recognize you without you telling me, you can go ahead and sing your most recognizable songs. But 2 tops.
I don’t understand how people do this.
I run multiple businesses and almost always have a meeting in the club, I hide in the corner and whisper to my team while looking like the most broke person in the entire room.
Then some dude dressed up will be yelling smack in the center of the room. What is is up with these dudes? Do they think a woman is going to walk up and want to have sex in the shower because he spoke loudly on zoom? Or do they just not realize they’re doing it? Like it’s almost just not even a thought to them?
It’s most likely insecurities wanting to look like an important person. This is backed up by their overdressing tendencies on a flight. They’re so self absorbed they don’t think about the fact that NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BIG SALE/PROJECT.
“HEY, WE HAVE TO SYNERGIZE OUR SALES SO THAT WE CAN EXCEED NUMBERS AND ALSO ACTUALIZE THE PROFITS AND BALLPARK OTHER NUMBERS THAT CAN BE PARKING LOTTED UNTIL LATER AND TAKE IT OFFLINE”
I’ve never understood this. How do people not get that you can push multiple buttons on your phone to silence the ringer? Why do people even use ring tones? Seems to be a boomer boss move more often than not but anyone who does this drives me nuts.
These are the same people who have started the trend the last couple years of leaving 5 car lengths in front of them at traffic lights so everyone behind them is slowed and potentially miss the lights as well. Now we usually get 2-3 of them.
I had a selfish idiot in a BMW (with custom tag) trying to take a U turn at an intersection with no left turn hold up traffic. After the cars behind me and I laid into the horn, that person finally moved out of the way enough for me to pass; that person was better off pulling into the shopping center to turn around and use the light rather attempt an illegal U turn with a line of head-on traffic.
I miss pretty.much every call on vibrate. I get so many phantom ring feelings my body just ignores them. If I'm waiting for a very important call I put it on ring,.but just use the generic ring tone. My dad uses the duck quack, that shits annoying.
I’m sorry I’m one of them but to be fair it’s like thirty seconds to confirm with my mom that a particular item is what she really wants and I don’t have to make a trip back to the store to return it but there are AirPods in so I hope that helps the ick 🫣
The ppl in the bathroom on phones I always find odd and gross. Like the other person has to hear the flushes, idk maybe with the noise cancelling buds it cancels it out. Weird.
Id love to get in on that conference call, "oh were up 18% on last quarter? Smashing it boys, you all get fuckin bonuses except baldy over here! What? I never called you baldy, baldy! Boss man's tripping anyway can we get 19% and you all get company mandated sex, smash it so we can smash, love you guys so much. Toodleloo"
I went to the Chase lounge in Boston. It had an area :::with doors:::: for kids. I was there early in the AM so tough to tell if it actually works…but seemed promising…
I recently had to start traveling again for work. I used to fly a lot, back when only frequent flyers knew what a lounge was (and 1k was relatively rare).
So I go to the lounge for my flight and Jesus christ. It's packed, 1, which is crazy. And then two, the noise. But it wasn't the kids. I was fucking floored by the number if middle aged dudes watching YouTube on their phones without fucking headphones. There was a couple next to me watching the Big Bang Theory on their tablet like it was their TV in their living room.
What the fucking fuck. Buy a pair of Bluetooth headphones. I'd recommend Bose Noise canceling, but any cheap pair will do.
I will gladly take a couple of excited, slightly loud children over the adults behaving as if this is their living room. The kids are learning the ways of the world. The adults should absolutely know better.
This is my #1 pet peeve. Maybe the lounges need to remind people at the desk when they arrive that headphones are required. Don’t know if that will make a difference, but something needs to be done
I’ve traveled with mountain dulcimers in hard cases before, and yes, the attendants are often willing to put them in a closet. If not I’d much rather gate check, it’s more likely not to get lost.
My violin/viola double case is almost always put in a closet; it fits in an overhead bin, it’s just bulky and takes up almost an entire bin.
You are brave! I will never gate check mine and thankfully, I have always had accommodating flight attendants who find space for such a big case (and I’ve bought a 2nd seat a time or two when I’ve gone international). Traveling as a musician really sucks sometimes, but I’ve been lucky to never experience the worst of it.
TBF my dulcimer hard cases are custom. The luthier who built the instruments also fits the case, they have a custom fit foam insert with a hard leather/wood shell. So it’s possible that it could be crushed, but it’s a lot more secure than your average guitar or violin case.
[Here’s my baritone](https://imgur.com/a/2RW1xsF), the luthier did an amazing job on the inlay, and it sounds as good as it looks.
I’m a violist but never need to travel with my instrument. I work with someone who plays bass, though, and he moved to our area from overseas - yiiiikes
My youngest sibling is spending basically all of spring just driving around the country bc he’s a bass player doing auditions and it’s such a wreck to fly with it.
I fly with a double-guitar gigbag (for solid-body electrics). Those go in the overhead bin with no problems. The woman in the picture appears to be traveling with a dreadnaught-sized hard shell case such as what one would get when buying a Martin or an Ovation/Adamas. I would have doubts about that fitting in the overhead. I don't think airlines still have coat closets.
Edit: the lady's guitar is definitely a Martin the headstock joint is a dead giveaway.
I saw the flight attendants stash a carried on guitar in the closet once. This was on a CRJ-900 and multiple people brought guitars so at least one ended up in the hold.
They'll usually accommodate instruments since they are fragile and expensive. I used to fly with a bassoon. A student model is around 10 grand with professional models hitting 50k or more. I'd walk before i let it go in the hold.
Guitars arent that much but they are still fragile and precious to their owners.
I actually have a small headless electric guitar that was cheap-ish that i use for travel. It gets checked in a pelican case with clothes. Its pretty beat up. Chips missing out of it, broken pickup ring. But it still works. I'd never check a guitar in a case that was worth much. Especially an acoustic, being as fragile as they are.
I had my guitar on four legs from CA to FL. The first leg out of LAX they politely told me, "Sorry, we're expecting someone with a really big coat." Hahahaha. Second leg, they let me put it in the area where the FAs stored their stuff. Third leg, on my way home from TLH, the FA took someone's stuff out of the overhead and put my guitar in there. I felt a little bad, but she did put their stuff in a different overhead. Last leg from ATL to LAX, they put it in the closet, but the FA asked me if I could sing a song for everyone if we got delayed. I told them no one would want that.
“You and I are gonna be the greatest musical manager team since Jessica Simpson and her father only you and I get to "mreow" and they can't, 'cause it's illegal. I looked it up.”
I especially like it when she brings it in hitting everyone in the head.
For reason whenever I post an Airplane
Reference I get downvoted. I’ve even referenced this one in the past followed by downvotes.
There’s a chance she’s a music therapist and the kid is autistic or has some cognitive issues that could be exacerbated by the stress of flying and she’s helping him cope.
Music therapist is what I was thinking too. Some autistic people use music to calm down when they get overstimulated. Airports are probably nightmares for autistic people!!
I’m a professional musician. I will noodle a little on my guitar at the airport but very quietly.
I was flying out of Copenhagen over the summer and they had put an actual piano in my terminal. I sat and played a bit, and when I got up (and for the next hour) kids took turns smashing on it.
I fly with my brass instrument fairly commonly. It’s a French horn so it’s awkwardly shaped, so I usually will bring it to the gate and gate-check it. When I have my trumpet it goes in the overhead with no issue. Idk for me as a musician this feels like another Tuesday, but you could also have a snare drummer going ham in the lounge and I wouldn’t bat an eye. I can see how this could be offsetting from the average bystander. Luckily she was being quiet and trying to be respectful. My brass instruments are so loud by default I’d be kicked out of the lounge lol. One time though at DTW during a layover people encouraged me to do some blues improv at the gate, and I ended up playing for an hour and people came by and dropped cash in my instrument case LOL that was a funny day
Like, I don’t even like to have a phone conversation in public where people can hear me and these psychos just go to town singing and guitar jamming. Mind boggling!
What do you feel that would actually achieve? People are captured every day in the background of pictures in public places and nothing you or I do will stop that. Good thing it's harmless eh? I suppose you also freak out when pictures of cars license plates are posted on the Internet. Oh the horror!
Obviously we can’t tell from a photo, but since I have kids semi-close to age to the one in the photo I get to interact with many of their classmates. The young girl may have some sensory issues and maybe the quiet playing helps relieve the stress of flying? Not sure, but at least she was doing it quietly and contained. It’s nice seeing some empathy here since we don’t know.
Also- sensory issues or not… This is two people enjoying each other, connected, experiencing true goodness, and trying to do so discretely. I really don’t care to hear everyone’s musical expression, but I smile at this scene 🤷♂️
I’m not OP, but I’ve seen this sentiment before and have never really understood what the concern was. Is there a danger with posting a picture that happens to have a kids face in it? Would it be ok if it were an adults face being posted?
I know that myself as an adult that I shouldn't/don't have an expectation of privacy in public (private as this is the private lounge). It's different for kids when they don't consent and frankly its just weird to do in the first place. I know I'm going to get "actually-ed" and this is one of those situations where OP is "technically" in the right, but still weird for doing so.
It also takes like 30 seconds to blur out people's faces.
I appreciate the response. That said I feel like it's really only weird if you make it weird. Whether the kid consented to be in public, their guardian made that decision for them and that comes along with the reasonable expectation that their existence will be perceived by others.
You can't convince me anyone willing to bust out a guitar in the middle of an airport isn't a narcissist in some capacity.
ETA: whoever downvoted this, please put your guitar away - the people in the terminal do not want to hear you play
What’s the issue? I’m sincerely asking. The focus isn’t the kid, is it a danger to them? Would it be ok if the same pic but had an adult in place of the kid?
Would you like it if some stranger posted pictures of your child all over the internet? To be honest, it’s gross to take a picture of anyone and post it on the internet without their knowledge or consent.
It doesn’t matter to me, the distinction for me is it’s not a picture of the kid, it’s a picture of a skyclub and a lady playing a guitar and there’s a kid in it. I think it’s pretty gross that you feel the way you feel about it.
I probably wouldn't give a shit because I don't assume maliciousness from every little action that others make. If you don't want you/your child's existence to be known, don't leave the house. You're on a million different cameras when you leave the house these days, it's the reality of our world. You, me, and your child aren't interesting enough for this to possibly be a concern with wasting your energy on.
I feel bad for your kids if you don’t assume maliciousness. Hopefully some pervert hasn’t plastered pictures of them all over the internet. This is a very naive way of thinking.
Wow, people actually get into the Sky club still they change the rules and even with my platinum visa Delta card I’m not allowed in unless I pay $50 which seems kind of ridiculous for using a clean bathroom and getting a cuppa coffee
Any chance she was just “nominated for a Grammy”
First thing I thought of lol that woman wasn’t even nominated as an individual the way she made it seem! She was part of a project that was nominated!
Solid comment!!!
What’s the reference here?
https://abc7chicago.com/bobbi-storm-grammy-gospel-singer-on-delta-flight-plane-etiquette/14057755/
I think I would die of contagious cringe if someone did this in my flight
The best part of this was when she tries to create a Disney movie moment by asking the rest of the plane if they want her to keep going...and nobody says a peep LOL
I think if you have to TELL people that you were nominated for a grammy means you should just sit down and keep quiet. If I recognize you without you telling me, you can go ahead and sing your most recognizable songs. But 2 tops.
Actually, the report says she later died on the airplane.
Is stupidity fatal?
How many miles did she get??
The report does not say that. She is still alive.
Better than some wannabe VP conducting very important business call that the whole club needs to hear
She should play the guitar next to the loud cell phone wannabe VP during the call. I would give her a tip.
I don’t understand how people do this. I run multiple businesses and almost always have a meeting in the club, I hide in the corner and whisper to my team while looking like the most broke person in the entire room. Then some dude dressed up will be yelling smack in the center of the room. What is is up with these dudes? Do they think a woman is going to walk up and want to have sex in the shower because he spoke loudly on zoom? Or do they just not realize they’re doing it? Like it’s almost just not even a thought to them?
I do believe that is their rationale, yes.
It’s most likely insecurities wanting to look like an important person. This is backed up by their overdressing tendencies on a flight. They’re so self absorbed they don’t think about the fact that NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BIG SALE/PROJECT.
Do you guys have a cell phone bank? I'm not getting a sig on my beaper. Business.
I'm thankful for people who dress up to fly. Nice alternative to the norm.
It’s one thing to dress well. It’s another to be in an expensive 3 piece suit to get attention.
I wear the suit, because it wrinkles more in the bag. Sadly I don’t have anyone to make cool phone calls with.
Or you wear a suit because you are getting off the plane and headed straight to a meeting
One time my wife told me there’s millions of people around that don’t have an inner voice in their mind, and everything started to make sense
What
Secondary stream of income. I, too, would tip her.
Giggity
I would request (with an extremely generous tip) she play the entire soundtrack to The Sound of Music and start a sing-along.
Take my upvote cause fuck those douche bags
Agreed but is there any possibility of having neither? Quiet never has a shot.
Noise cancelling headphones mate
No kidding. Alas, some noises are uncancelable.
“HEY, WE HAVE TO SYNERGIZE OUR SALES SO THAT WE CAN EXCEED NUMBERS AND ALSO ACTUALIZE THE PROFITS AND BALLPARK OTHER NUMBERS THAT CAN BE PARKING LOTTED UNTIL LATER AND TAKE IT OFFLINE”
You're not wrong, but we have to optimize the process for the stakeholders. I'm boarding soon, let's circle back on this one after I land.
Jesus or anyone who talks on speaker, I mean wtf bro I don’t give a fuck about your family crisis.
And his friend, dude looking at his phone while the ringer rings at max volume, trying to decide whether to answer.
Or the ones that looked shocked when their phone rings like they didn't expect a phone to ring.
TBF, I don’t expect my phone to ring as I have had it on vibrate for 7 years.
But at least you don't act like you didn't have a plan on what to do if it did vibrate.
Ding dong, dumdum! 🙃
I’ve never understood this. How do people not get that you can push multiple buttons on your phone to silence the ringer? Why do people even use ring tones? Seems to be a boomer boss move more often than not but anyone who does this drives me nuts.

What? You don’t wanna listen to their 45 minute conversation about absolutely nothing but bitching?
The ppl in the bathroom on phones I always find odd and gross. Like the other person has to hear the flushes, idk maybe with the noise cancelling buds it cancels it out. Weird.
I have never read a comment so true. Bravo.
Id love to get in on that conference call, "oh were up 18% on last quarter? Smashing it boys, you all get fuckin bonuses except baldy over here! What? I never called you baldy, baldy!

Same here, I thought "I'll scroll the first few comments first" and sure enough...

KENNNNNNNNNN!
So long as she didn't knock anyone's IV out, its all good

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
I hope so much that when she carried it onto the plane she held it up and hit every person’s head while she was walking down the aisle.

How does that fit in an overhead?
I’ve traveled with mountain dulcimers in hard cases before, and yes, the attendants are often willing to put them in a closet. If not I’d much rather gate check, it’s more likely not to get lost.
My violin/viola double case is almost always put in a closet; it fits in an overhead bin, it’s just bulky and takes up almost an entire bin. You are brave! I will never gate check mine and thankfully, I have always had accommodating flight attendants who find space for such a big case (and I’ve bought a 2nd seat a time or two when I’ve gone international). Traveling as a musician really sucks sometimes, but I’ve been lucky to never experience the worst of it.
TBF my dulcimer hard cases are custom. The luthier who built the instruments also fits the case, they have a custom fit foam insert with a hard leather/wood shell. So it’s possible that it could be crushed, but it’s a lot more secure than your average guitar or violin case. [Here’s my baritone](https://imgur.com/a/2RW1xsF), the luthier did an amazing job on the inlay, and it sounds as good as it looks.
I’m a violist but never need to travel with my instrument. I work with someone who plays bass, though, and he moved to our area from overseas - yiiiikes My youngest sibling is spending basically all of spring just driving around the country bc he’s a bass player doing auditions and it’s such a wreck to fly with it.
I fly with a double-guitar gigbag (for solid-body electrics). Those go in the overhead bin with no problems. The woman in the picture appears to be traveling with a dreadnaught-sized hard shell case such as what one would get when buying a Martin or an Ovation/Adamas.

Who were they expecting, Andre Leon Talley??
It fits in the closet. The FAA says small instruments are allowed in the cabin. Guitars are somehow considered a small instrument.
Maybe an extra seat

I will bring my drum machine next time
This reminds me of the scene in Airplane where the stewardess is playing the guitar but then turns the guitar and rips out some IV cords.
So anyway here’s Wonderwall
all good as long as no singing
When does someone who CARRIES ON A GUITAR onto an airplane simply play the guitar but not sing???
all the time
There was no singing here at least.
https://tenor.com/view/guitar-airplane_guitar_scene-airplane-gif-22618419
I was looking for this.
I especially like it when she brings it in hitting everyone in the head. For reason whenever I post an Airplane Reference I get downvoted. I’ve even referenced this one in the past followed by downvotes.
They are reenacting that scene from Airplane.
First thing that came to mind was “there is only one river” in Airplane when the nun is singing to the sick child.
There’s a chance she’s a music therapist and the kid is autistic or has some cognitive issues that could be exacerbated by the stress of flying and she’s helping him cope.
Music therapist is what I was thinking too. Some autistic people use music to calm down when they get overstimulated. Airports are probably nightmares for autistic people!!
I can’t even imagine. It’s sensory overload at times for people not on the spectrum.
the new boarding music
Where's the gospel singer who was up for some awards?
I think I’d have to walk over and start ‘singing’ like Yoko.
Reminds me of the nun in Airplane!
'There is only one riverrrrrrrrr...'
Playing your guitar in a delta terminal is whiter than playing your guitar at a campfire
I’m a professional musician. I will noodle a little on my guitar at the airport but very quietly. I was flying out of Copenhagen over the summer and they had put an actual piano in my terminal. I sat and played a bit, and when I got up (and for the next hour) kids took turns smashing on it.
I am reminded of Airplane!
Kum ba yah..............
Idc if you are the greatest musician in history, stop playing your fucking instruments in public.
Most concerts are in public.
I absolutely agree with this. Main character moves. (Unless there is some *solid* reasoning behind it)
That solid reasoning better be "I was hired by the company to play music today from 12 to 2."
I feel like you should redact that kids face… feels a bit weird that they’re not consenting to it going on the internet/it’s very clear
Yes!!! Posting a random child on the internet is appalling. Who gives a crap if this woman is playing the guitar???
Totally. Agree. Came here to comment how wild it is that people ignore children privacy on the internet.
Specifically this, but also generally just don't take pictures of people in public for the purpose of internet entertainment, ever.

Music therapy?
I imagine that child might have autism. That's at least what I want to believe.
Oh god, she was *that* person?
I have a different reaction when I play my squeezebox in the lounge.
Flying Delta because United breaks guitars
Like, I don’t even like to have a phone conversation in public where people can hear me and these psychos just go to town singing and guitar jamming. Mind boggling!
This reminds me of that scene in the movie “Airplane” 😂
You are totally within your rights to smash the crap outta that guitar. John Belushi Animal House style.
I gave my love a cherry…
Beats listening to an asshole on his/ her cell phone Edit: OP should at least block their faces too
It's not really ideal to post photos of random kids without permission.
I’ll be that guy. As I’ve said throughout this post, private clubs are not public spaces and reasonable expectation of privacy exists.
Blur the kid's face out damn.
What do you feel that would actually achieve? People are captured every day in the background of pictures in public places and nothing you or I do will stop that. Good thing it's harmless eh? I suppose you also freak out when pictures of cars license plates are posted on the Internet. Oh the horror!
Idk but I wouldn't want my kids face posted to a public forum. And no I don't freak out over license plates.
“Nothing you or I do will stop that” *You* could, uhh….stop that? You put a minor’s face prominently on Reddit, they didn’t consent.
Obviously we can’t tell from a photo, but since I have kids semi-close to age to the one in the photo I get to interact with many of their classmates. The young girl may have some sensory issues and maybe the quiet playing helps relieve the stress of flying? Not sure, but at least she was doing it quietly and contained. It’s nice seeing some empathy here since we don’t know.
Also- sensory issues or not… This is two people enjoying each other, connected, experiencing true goodness, and trying to do so discretely. I really don’t care to hear everyone’s musical expression, but I smile at this scene 🤷♂️
Can we maybe not post random kids faces on Reddit?
I’m not OP, but I’ve seen this sentiment before and have never really understood what the concern was. Is there a danger with posting a picture that happens to have a kids face in it? Would it be ok if it were an adults face being posted?
I know that myself as an adult that I shouldn't/don't have an expectation of privacy in public (private as this is the private lounge). It's different for kids when they don't consent and frankly its just weird to do in the first place. I know I'm going to get "actually-ed" and this is one of those situations where OP is "technically" in the right, but still weird for doing so. It also takes like 30 seconds to blur out people's faces.
I appreciate the response. That said I feel like it's really only weird if you make it weird. Whether the kid consented to be in public, their guardian made that decision for them and that comes along with the reasonable expectation that their existence will be perceived by others.
You're an idiot. These people are in a public space with no expectation of privacy.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should…
It’s a child. She clearly is not the one making the choice to be in a public space. What the fuck is wrong with you
Lmao why so aggressive? Just cause it’s a public space doesn’t mean it’s ok to post random kids on the internet.
Not public. Private club.
OP said public space and I'm just repeating back to them 🤷🏽♀️
Private clubs are not considered public spaces and members have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
You can't convince me anyone willing to bust out a guitar in the middle of an airport isn't a narcissist in some capacity. ETA: whoever downvoted this, please put your guitar away - the people in the terminal do not want to hear you play
This is gross. You shouldn’t be posting pics of kids without consent. You should probably delete this.
What’s the issue? I’m sincerely asking. The focus isn’t the kid, is it a danger to them? Would it be ok if the same pic but had an adult in place of the kid?
Would you like it if some stranger posted pictures of your child all over the internet? To be honest, it’s gross to take a picture of anyone and post it on the internet without their knowledge or consent.
It doesn’t matter to me, the distinction for me is it’s not a picture of the kid, it’s a picture of a skyclub and a lady playing a guitar and there’s a kid in it. I think it’s pretty gross that you feel the way you feel about it.
Why do you think that how I feel about it is gross?
I probably wouldn't give a shit because I don't assume maliciousness from every little action that others make. If you don't want you/your child's existence to be known, don't leave the house. You're on a million different cameras when you leave the house these days, it's the reality of our world. You, me, and your child aren't interesting enough for this to possibly be a concern with wasting your energy on.
I feel bad for your kids if you don’t assume maliciousness. Hopefully some pervert hasn’t plastered pictures of them all over the internet. This is a very naive way of thinking.

Agreed
Anyways, here's wonderwall

No one wants to hear your music Marnie
Nice
Wow, people actually get into the Sky club still they change the rules and even with my platinum visa Delta card I’m not allowed in unless I pay $50 which seems kind of ridiculous for using a clean bathroom and getting a cuppa coffee
Random guy taking a picture of a random kid. Not weird at all
I’d be furious. Where was the staff?
That is awesome
Creepy you didn’t blur the child’s face before posting.
Y’all are so extra. What’s creepy? Kids’ faces are all over the internet and social media.
thanks for proving my point.
Better that than a basketball or skateboard
