March 30, - The Plane Clap

Ah, the famous ✈️ plane landing clap! 👏 Why does it spark such strong opinions?

Just so you know—I clap every time.And no, I am not a first-time flyer. 😌

Imagine this: You willingly enter a giant metal burrito with wings 🌯🛩️, piloted by a stranger you never meet 👨‍✈️, filled with hundreds of other humans all packed together like sentient sardines 🐟. Then this mechanical beast defies gravity, shoots into the sky at 500+ miles per hour 💨, and you just... sit there. Sipping lukewarm ginger ale 🥤. Above the clouds ☁️. Thirty thousand feet in the air 🚀.

Oh, and the best part? At the end of this miracle, some people don’t even clap 🙄. They just get up and complain about the pretzels 🥨.

Have you ever clapped when a plane landed? Or are you more of a silent “phew, we're alive” kind of traveler? 😅
