genuinely the worst flight i've gone through

``` > be me > flying back from shanghai > like 11 hours or so, can't be that bad > after i get through security feel the symptoms of a cold > oh no.jpg > eh whatever i'll rest on the plane surely > go on plane, sleep for 2 hours, sure > wake up to awful back pain > i stand up, take walks, it does NOT go away > i see an empty aisle at the head of the cabin > screw it, my back is worth more than my dignity > lie down there before a flight attendant notices me and says "hey you can't do that" > well it was fun while it lasted > go back to seat, feeling like i'm boutta die > want to go to sleep > but the backpain prevents me from relaxing in any manner > incredible > get up to go to the bathroom > see that some lavatories have a considerable amount of floor space > "anon don't do it", i tell myself > after a couple hours the pain gets way too fucking much to bear > i throw away what's left of my sanity > begrudgingly get some sheets of paper towels > wipe the floor as much as i can > lie down in like a kind of rotated sitting position > back on the floor, legs & feet on the toilet lid > it's the only thing that makes me feel better > sigh ```
