Ryanair = Ridiculous

So you go to the airport, your flight is delayed, your flight takes off - where do you expect to end up?

Apparently for Ryanair, a European low-cost airline, it doesn't really matter. There is no way that the airline didn't know the length of the flight time and that taking off at the time they did that their destination airport would be closed! But, that is what they did anyway!

OK, so that is pretty strange/weird/stupid of Ryanair right? What else could they do to botch this? It wouldn't seem like much more but that is when the incredible Ryanair flight crew sprung into action - or rather inaction! They apparently didn't notify passengers during the flight that the destination airport closed for the night so they just stopped flying and landed at a different airport - in a different country even!

What? You might be asking what is going on, is this some crazy story he is making up? NO, I am not making it up and it gets even better! Upon landing at the new airport (not the destination) the flight crew left the plane but the passengers protested and didn't leave because they weren't notified of this change of events or what else was going to happen. The passengers stayed on the plane for 4 hours until the middle of the night after the crew left the plane and turned off the power and lights. Way to go Ryanair! That is customer service! So the toilets were locked and there was no food or water for the passengers, another win - or collossal fail for Ryanair!

OK, I didn't make this up but here is the article I read about it and Ryanair didn't have a comment (surprise) but hopefully they will be in true form when they do comment and have something so idiotic that it rivals this story of repetitive failures. I love to write about stupid people (in this case an entire company and their employees).

Kardashian Kard

So from the land of ridiculous, now apparently a hybrid of Wall Street and Hollywood, comes one fo the silliest products EVER! I read an article today about this and thought how incredibly silly anyone who gets one of these is and how savvy the Kardashian agent who set this up is. Yes, even the spelling in the blog title is correct, yet makes me shake my head at its level of WTF factor.

Here is the website for the Kardashian Kard. Even with The Human Show being amenable to editorializing, I try to just present the silliness that is in the world without my own opinions but I can do nothing but state emphatically that this is insane. Oh well, maybe I will be in the majority on this one, or more likely, I will be proven to be out of touch with what the masses want to waste money on.

Dreamhome?

I found and read this article today and was interested in looking at the house because the initial picture looked very nice. There was also a catchy headline - $400000 house costs $6 million.

Apparently this couple really had their hearts set on what they wanted. They started with a $400000 budget and an architect and now over 7 years later and nearly (but not yet) completed they are over $6million spent and on architect #4. There are several parts of the article that made me laugh out loud, literally! Here is one of them, the house is set against a hill and at their insistence the windows open up toward the hill unlike nearly all other houses in similar environs. The owner maintains that this provides the best views of the forest!

How many microwaves would you like in your kitchen? You will have to read the article to see how many were requested and what the end result in the kitchen is.

Soon there will also be some very cool treehouses that will be solar powered as well.

Overall it looks like a pretty cool house even if the quirks came to be pretty darn expensive.
