Sweaty and sticky with Hawaiian Tropic and sand. Who’d want to sit next to that, yuck.

This looks like a mad dash to not miss a flight.

 

Good on them, they made it just in time -- or we would have another nauseatingly boring 10 pages thread about people sunbathing on the wrong lawn and Thais all being upset about having foreign tourists spending money in their country?!

   It would have taken them a minute to get dressed and they would have been aware of their flight time , its not as if the airlines captain called them up an hour before departure and told them about the flight time

As you might note from the article, they did, immediately after jumping out from their taxi.

   I have put clothes on enough times to know how long it takes , 1 minute at most , which is plenty of time for the taxi to wait

[worgeordie]

One minute can be too long... had to bail out of the window a couple of times in my youth... lucky it was ground floor.

You're over egging the defence of stupidity there Nan...    Can you really think of any example where the guys could get their bags but not get dressed before getting in the taxi ?... 

Its not as if they were caught by a Tsunami and thats all they had with them...

   OK, how many times in your whole life have you gone somewhere and didn't have enough time to get dressed and you went in your underwear ?

   How many times have you seen anyone go anywhere in their underwear because they didn't have time to put clothes in ?

  Never, it just doesn't ever happen
