Long-haul flights ain’t easy. You’re forced to sit on your arse for hours on end, your mid-flight hobby is watching crappy movies on repeat, and eating even crappier food, and more often than not, listen to a 6-month old wailing while the passenger in front reclines right into your lap.
Unless you’ve got some strong sleeping pills or an industrial strength eye mask, it can be a real struggle. However, for this clever passenger, expressing her mid-flight frustrations was a simple as picking up a needle and thread.
A photo of a woman casually cross-stitching the phrase “Eat A Bag Of Dicks” into a piece of fabric mid-flight has hit the Internet and (unsurprisingly) gone viral.
Facebook account Shut The Front Door posted the hilarious photo with the caption: “I love how this lady is passing the time,” and YES – I have to agree.
Instead of passive aggressively huffing and puffing about her flight-related gripes, this absolute genius is using therapeutic embroidery as a means of blowing off some steam.
While most of us are still in awe of this craftswoman’s mid-flight hobby, other Facebook users have taken to the comments section to ask more important questions, like, “By what magic did she get a needle onto the plane?”
And it’s fair enough! According to the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs, “sharp items that are not weapons but are capable (with or without modification) of causing harm by penetration” are not permitted on flights.
However, in the fine print of items that are permitted, you will find “knitting and crochet needles” – which we can only assume is what this talented high-flying embroiderer is using.
The good news is, there is dickloads of “Eat A Bag Of Dicks” merch available online – mugs, cushions, tote bags, hoodies, and even a literal bag of gummy dicks.
Who would’ve thought crafting insults into beautiful works of art could be so satisfying?
