A Rodent on Board? Seriously?!
Let’s just sit here and contemplate the sheer absurdity of modern air travel, shall we? Apparently, a rat – yes, an actual, scurrying rodent – decided to join passengers on a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Aruba. And what was the response? The pilot bravely pressed onward! Because, you know, a furry little hitchhiker is totally just a minor inconvenience compared to, say, rescheduling hundreds of people and potentially dealing with panicked passengers.
Honestly, I’m not even surprised. It seems like every aspect of our lives has been optimized for minimal effort and maximum corporate profit. Safety? Comfort? A basic level of hygiene? Apparently those are luxuries we can no longer expect. Instead, we get rats roaming the aisles and explanations that somehow justify continuing a flight with an unscheduled wildlife guest.
I picture the meeting: A rat! What do we do? Fly on! Think of the scheduling costs! It’s breathtaking in its lack of common sense. I mean, whats next? A family of squirrels taking up residence in first class? A badger demanding peanuts? At some point, someone needs to remember that transporting humans isn’t a game of budgetary gymnastics. Its about people. And apparently, people are expendable in the grand scheme of airline efficiency. Wonderful.
