My Lakefront Neighbors Kept Docking Their Boat on My Private Pier. I Waited Until Their Weekend Trip to Have It Towed.

Lightbulb moment

That’s when a lightbulb moment struck: I recalled a segment from the in-flight magazine about ‘unwritten rules of flying’ that could be bent creatively.

These guidelines, usually meant to ensure a pleasant experience for all, could be interpreted in ways that would make their journey less enjoyable.

I smiled to myself, flipping through the magazine and re-reading the section. My next moves would hinge on these rules, wielding them in unexpected ways.
