Large And In Charge
In my post about
essential travel items, I recommended wearing sweatpants on an airplane, under the logic that there's no point in sacrificing comfort for fashion when both are in such short supply in economy air travel. I probably should have written in some sort of exception for an outfit like this, which manages to be staggeringly offensive to both.
Of course, plenty of people can dress like they don't know the difference between "M" and "XXXL," but to be that uniquely airport
Large And In Charge person, you also need to be about four seconds away from biting a stranger and/or gate agent's head off at all times, for offenses ranging from bumping into you in the boarding line to telling you that your gigantic leopard-print roller-bag won't fit under the seat in front of you.
Should I Talk To This Gal? No, unless you have a perfectly timed snarky comment about some third party that she is also clearly annoyed with, in which case you can make a new, intimidating friend.
