... don't know when i'll feel well again ...
I once had the misfortune to be seated on a very full plane next to a big, hairy man with a fear of flying.
Being that Neanderthals are not in my target demographic, (and I women minus obvious upfront attractions were outside his), we did not initially engage in conversation. Instead, big hairy man attempted to gain himself the attention of a more brightly-plumed member of the fairer sex seated across the aisle, and I happily immersed myself in my book.
Then the plane took off.
Big hairy man suddenly turned an unbecoming shade of green and began to grip my forearm. I tried politely, then just plain rudely, to shake his hand off, but he merely leaned towards me and whispered desperately "I'm not the worlds' best flyer", upon which he grabbed an airsick bag and honked up the contents of his (quite considerable) stomach.
Appalled, and just resisting the temptation the tell the guy that he was in all probability not the worlds' best anything, I forgot the feelings of my fellow man and all that crapola and smashed the hell out of the call button until a trolley dolly came to deal with big hairy mans' copious emissions.
I endured three hours on a plane packed to the gills sitting eight inches away from a man who made noises that would startle your average Orangutan. I've never seen anyone puke that hard. I wouldn't have been surprised if I saw his shoes come out of his mouth. Headphones on, earplugs stuffed in my ears, sleep mask on in broad daylight to avoid seeing it, there I sat.
I should explain that I hate puking. I hate myself puking. I hate other people puking. I hate puke !. Despite being generally well mannered and usually quite kind, if anybody pukes I leave skid marks in my haste to get away from them. I swear I still have nightmares about big hairy man and his 'bleuuurrrghhh' 'bleuuuuchh' 'blaaaaaaawgh' noises. Ugh !.
I've never understood people who want someone to pat their back while they honk. The last thing I want is for anyone to see any more of me with my head in a toilet (and that's the best case scenario) than is absolutely necessary. Puking is not a group activity. And unless you happen to be a child, it shouldn’t require moral support. .
