plane ride

I had the flying experience from hell today.

First I almost missed my flight, I was stuck in security and had to beg people to let me cut them because they were announcing my name on the loud speaker for last boarding call. so I run from security with my laptop and belt in hand- make the flight. so I go to my seat and I am between two old men. They both stink like smoke, gross. then the guy to my right keeps fidgeting and putting his arm on the whole arm rest and putting his feet in my feet space. We all of the sudden the guy to my right take a plastic bag out of his stuff and puts it to his face and starts puking. puking, spitting, couching, gagging...for like 5 minutes. It was HORRIBLE. so I looked to the guy to my left and was like "what do we do?!?" so we got the flight attendants attention after a bit and he got out and went to the bathroom. telling me he was sorry but he has food poisoning.
WHO GETS ON A PLANE WITH FOOD POISONING AND SITS IN THE WINDOW SEAT?!

anyways I got moved to first class so this guy could have his own row. That was a nice concession, but however I think I would have rather just sat next to someone without food poisoning from the beginning.
