The Centurion Lounge in Philadelphia is the only airport lounge I’ve been in where the staff needed to make a public announcement to implore people to stop taking off their shoes and putting up their feet in the furniture.

Me, to guy leaving the airport lounge: "Sir, you left your Man U hat on the table." Man, turning around: "Oh, thanks." Me: "If you want, I can throw it in the garbage for you."

I started playing “Wannabe” on the plane without realizing the sound was coming out of my phone, not my headphones. Based on the looks I got, my fellow passengers really, really, really do not want to zig-a-zig-ah.

Me, after eating all the pudding cups: “I just noticed the date on these. I figured I should eat them before they expire.” Husband: “What was the date?” Me: “April 2025.” Husband, exasperatedly: “It’s February.”

In 2010, a New Zealand seal fur pup befriended me and trailed me around the coast of the Otago peninsula. He was a playful toddler on flippers. It was one of the best days of my life. I named him Alex. Yesterday, I learned male NZ fur seals live about 15 years. I'm not crying. You're crying.

When the time comes, and it will, I expect these companies will abandon their anti-diversity initiatives with the same speed and enthusiasm they did with their pro-diversity initiatives. That’s what happens when you make spineless opportunism a best practice.
