That last post is proof positive IMHO that Dobby is an adult having a laugh.

I'm still confused by the whole you can go thing. Could someone explain that again?

Lucky OZ.

"That last post is proof positive IMHO that Dobby is an adult having a laugh."

Absolutely.

No, sm, I cannot. I did a piss poor job the first time around.

I don't think those TSA people give those of us carrying salt enough respect. I feel your pain Dobby. I mean, who wants to waste salt?? Seriously.

Keep posting Dobby, you have to have some stories about the flight at least. How were your seatmates??

Try the vegemite. I think you're going to like it!

Josser- I am an adult, I'm 19. And this actually happened. It's easy to laugh at it looking back but at the time I thought the TSA weren't going to let me fly. That old man scared me and I was tipsy cause of alcohol but didn't bring too much attention to myself, thank God. He just dropped me off and I took the rest of the way by train. When I told my parents, my step dad was so angry and told me I was stupid and to just take a cab next time :(

santamonica - Huh?

My flight was delayed and I ended up missing my connection, but the airport gave me a free hotel for the night at the Hilton. I'm pretty sure the blonde working there was a bimbo. As for the people in the plane there were these nice Christian guys...and yeah nothing much happened. At least not until this flight attendant kept bugging my about if I filled out my travel card. She kept treating me like a 10 year old or someone who was mentally disabled. She even made a comment saying that she was ''nervous'' cause I was so quiet. Of course I'm quiet, I'm there on the plane by myself! -.-

By the way this was all like a month ago. :]

Whew! Thank goodness, that wasn't your last post.

I understand exactly about the TSA. Salt is at the top of their no-no list.

BTW, how was the brunette?

Dobby sounds a lot like Clara to me. Since when do 19 year olds use terms like "keep quiet", "catty", "tipsy", "Buzz off" and "typing"?

cathies May 9th, 2013 01:45 AM

Dobby, you are SO not an adult!

suewoo May 9th, 2013 04:28 AM

Adults pay their own bills.

nanabee May 9th, 2013 04:40 AM

clark, I don't know what other screen name Dobby uses, but his "voice" is not that of a 19 year old.

DobbyTheTurtle May 9th, 2013 09:54 AM

Yes I am 19 and this my only account :D And I do pay my own bills, I am independent.

mlgb May 9th, 2013 10:09 AM

I was hoping for some more trip reporting.

schlegal1 May 9th, 2013 11:29 AM

Man oh man, I have to say I am thrilled that Dobby made the cut to keep posting in the Lounge.

clarkgriswold May 9th, 2013 12:29 PM

Mommy and Daddy will handle my $4000 per month rent in NYC. But "I am independent".

nytraveler May 9th, 2013 05:58 PM

Have been trying to figure out who Dobby really is.

Agree the language is not that of a 19 year old (at least nothing like our 21 year old). But then she's about to complete college - and is independent.

laurieco May 9th, 2013 06:15 PM

Who cares who Dobby really is. He's so entertaining. Even more entertaining are the responses to his posts.

gomiki May 9th, 2013 06:33 PM

laurie, lol. And so true!

amer_can May 9th, 2013 10:16 PM

Saw this creature's new comments on United States Forum and am sure glad we will have an entertaining summer of woe and whining posts from this subsidized wanderer!! NY will undoubtedly be very welcoming to this new kid in the hood!!! Just don't let your prospective neighbors see you au natural in your windows or think you might be stalking them or you freak out when you are expected to pay your light and water bills..NY may not be as tolerant as England was!!
