The woman seated next to me on the flight didn’t talk until we landed on the runway. Then she unloaded. “That pilot was horrible. The plane was rocking back and forth so bad I thought I was going to throw up.” Upon questioning her, I found she had only flown once before and that she also gets car sick.

I offered an explanation: “There are thunderstorms in the area, causing turbulence. My flight before this one was just as bad.”
