Flight Attendant Reveals the Best Times to Visit the Airplane Restroom

There's no two ways about it: traveling can be stressful. From lost luggage to changes in weather, there are lots of unknowns at play and, thus, a wide room for error.

Not everyone enjoys flying. The level of non-enjoyment can range from mild discomfort to full blown Aerophobia, which is defined as an extreme fear of flying.

A passenger flying from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina to JFK International Airport in New York confronted that fear while flying with Delta. The woman, who is currently still unidentified expressed that she was nervous to fly according to Molly Simonson Lee, a passenger seated behind the woman who witnessed the encounter. Tight spaces don't make for much privacy, but in this case, the world is better for knowing this took place.

Thrift stores have become a popular destination for people hoping to find branded products or iconic designer dresses at a low price, especially since people started flaunting their discoveries on the internet. Some have even bumped into ancient artifacts that had gone missing and could fetch a fortune. Although finding an actual diamond while looking for hidden gems among used products sounds like a dream, but it turned into reality for a woman at a garage sale. It all started when a woman went to a car boot sale in the late 1980s where bangles from a box of costume jewelry caught her eye and she bought the whole box for the bangles.
