"Am I the only one wondering if Thanksgiving is going to be 2020 flavored? Will the TSA walk out on the job? Will PDX become a holiday romcom of strangers-connecting-that-normally-never-would-otherwise giddily bonding over their shared serendipitous misery, or will it be more of a Lynchian dystopia of infinity lines with nobody willing to hold your place when you inevitably have to use the bathroom? How long will they circle the tarmac? Pass the digital gravy, just two more weeks or something"
"Will PDX become a holiday romcom of strangers-connecting-that-normally-never-would-otherwise giddily bonding over their shared serendipitous misery, or will it be more of a Lynchian dystopia of infinity lines with nobody willing to hold your place when you inevitably have to use the bathroom?"
Travel expectations for Thanksgiving combine anxiety and dark humor. Concerns include potential TSA walkouts and staffing problems that could disrupt security and boarding. Airport scenes are imagined as either spontaneous, giddy connections among stranded strangers or as a Lynchian dystopia with endless lines and nobody willing to hold a place for bathroom breaks. Tarmac circling and extended delays add logistical uncertainty and frustration. Small digital comforts are framed as insufficient consolation amid a tense countdown to the holiday. Anticipation blends with resignation as travelers brace for unpredictable, 2020-like conditions.
