United flight 236 from Newark to Palma de Mallorca on Saturday night was forced to turn around just an hour after takeoff due to security concerns around a Bluetooth signal. Multiple Redditors claimed to be on the flight and reported that the crew repeatedly requested passengers to turn off their Bluetooth. According to one poster, […]
I suspect the personality profiles of people with who would make the joke of calling their bluetooth device “bomb” and people who would blow up an airplane full of people is almost diametrically opposite.
My mother used to have a Bluetooth speaker in our car that she took with her. It wasn’t deliberately shaped that way, but with the silhouette, the color, and the volume it produced, we ended up dubbing it ‘the hand grenade’.
After the hand grenade finally broke, my mother got a nice JVC speaker, a long cylinder. It was promptly named ‘the pipe bomb’.
For context, my mother is the most bland, inoffensive Midwest Christian white lady you will ever meet. She has an unusual sense of humor that comes out in the strangest ways. She laughed her ass off all the way through the FNAF games because she thought the animatronics were funny.
I think the TSA just hates people with a personality, period.
One time a TSA guy started to open my wife’s carry-on, which she had packed VERY tightly. She said, “Careful, it might explode.” This got a raised eyebrow.
I like to believe that people with quirky senses of humour see the various social conventions and other broadly treated as “this is the way things are done” patterns of behavior in human societies with a different perspective so often see the silly side of many such things (hence the quirky sense of humour), making them significantly less likely to simply submit to arbitrary orders from those in positions of authority than the average person.
People that don’t just meekly comply are more disliked by “little dictators” - people in positions were they have a little bit of power which they use to push others around to satisfying petty personal needs to feel powerful.
Sounds about right.
Christians are rather offensive people. Especially the ones that force religion and their laws on people.
And she loves her Atheist kid.
Don’t you fucking dare pin that on my mother.
