More poor roommate communication

H and I are going to the east coast except I am heading to NY and H is going to North Carolina.  We've talked about our trips for the last few months.  We booked our flights separately and never showed the other person any flight schedules

3 weeks before the flight
Me: I'm leaving on Friday (whatever the date was) too, what time is your flight?
H: 11
Me: mine is at noon but I can go early so we can go together

Week of the flight
Me: what airline are you flying?
H:  American airline.  My flight is actually 11:55 so it's closer to yours.

Day of the flight
H:  my layover is in Texas
Me: oh mine is in Dallas... Wait.
H and me in unison:  Are we on the same flight???

The answer was yes.

Is it serendipity or simply poor communication?  Who knows but it turns out that I had an empty seat next to me so I was able to sit with a homie for the first leg of the flight instead of flying solo.

Bad hair day

C: is that paint in your hair?
Me: *checks ponytail*
Me: nope, just dried toothpaste from this morning

Bay Area humor

Me: where's home for you?
A: San Fran
Me:  ...You sure about that?

(Only ppl from the bay would understand the irony)
