That moment when your boyfriend is added to the 'No Fly' list

Los Angeles Times — I begged him to stop, but he just kept hitting his call button. He even yelled, "WiFi," at one point. When the poor flight attendants were at our seats, I mouthed the words, "I'm so sorry," as he scolded them. During the flight, he went up to the front of the plane.

HuffPost — I was set up on a date by a matchmaker and let me tell you, no match was made. My date showed up with a stain on his shirt, a big ol' mess of brown lower teeth and the personality of the antichrist. Just kidding, it was more like Hitler's BFF.

HuffPost — I had been online dating for a while but I hadn't met my soulmate so I decided I needed to make some changes to my approach.
