This is going to be a bit of a convoluted story, but hear me out, please. Because I am at my wits' end at this point.

So recently, I had to take a return flight from Fort Lauderdale to Dallas, and I decided to take Southwest Airlines because they offered me a pretty good rate. The original trajectory was a flight from Fort Lauderdale to New Orleans and from New Orleans to Dallas. Pretty straightforward, right? Unfortunately, the first flight got delayed, making it impossible to make it to the second, so the airline changed the trajectory from a layover in New Orleans to a layover in Baltimore. Totally fine by the time the flight was changed I wasn't even at the airport so all good. The real problem started at the gate.

So when I first got there, I got informed that my personal item was too big and needed to be checked as a carry-on. But additionally, I was told that I could check that bag in at no charge since the plane had a deficit of checked bags and needed volunteers. I thought damn, that's great! I can avoid both the fees of a carry-on and the hassle of carrying that huge bag everywhere. So I passed over my bag, they tagged it, and off it went. For context, inside that bag I put a tiny fanny pack that had my car and apartment keys, plus some medication I had to take daily, so I needed to keep it safe. Unfortunately, I also missed the flight to Baltimore (which admittedly was my fault) and my checked bag and I were separated. That bag ended up going to Baltimore, while I had to wait until the next day to take a flight to Houston to then take back to Dallas. Southwest informed me that the bag was still making it to the final destination, just that it would arrive first and I had to pick it up from the baggage office. Fine whatever.

When I finally made it back to Dallas to pick up my bag, I noticed that it was significantly less stuffed. I opened it to find that the little, yet very important, fanny pack was missing. I questioned the receptionist at the office, and they said that they didn't know anything about it, but recommended I file a report through their website (which fun fact is their only available complaint line, not even an email :)) So I did, gave them all of this information and them some while also explaining that if the bag was not found, I would like a reimbursement since as apart of the bag I lost my keys which is not only incredible inconvienet but do you have any idea how expencive it can be to replace just the car keys? I didn't.

All the correspondence I got, after a week mind you, was this image above. A backhanded dismissal of my claim and they didn't even let me know if there was a search for that bag, let alone if it was found. Livid would be an understatement. I also contacted each individual airport that the bag passed through, but I had no luck either. I don't know what else to do at this point since the Southwest complaint line seems to be engineered to be as difficult as possible for the consumer. Why can I not hold an airline responsible for losing an item that was under their care? Christ.

Hey I’m a 21M that’s trying to optimize my workout routine. I’ve kinda developed this program through trial and error over a year and I have seen good results. I’ve gone from (116-154lb) over that to time frame. But I really want to take my muscle journey more seriously so I wrote and recorded my workouts over a single week to share and research if there’s anything I can improve on.

For context:

Anything marked in green is a workout where i count the weight individually instead of as a whole. So for example I’m counting the weight each cable is pulling on my cable fly instead of the total

Anything in blue is interchangeable. I’m not saying it’s an equivalent workout but I opt into doing one or the other either cuz of time or exhaustion

The Xs are work outs I didn’t record doing that week

My main goal in working out is reaching muscle hypertrophy and bulking up my physique (I am very slim). If you guys can help in in pointing out any muscle group that I’m ignoring, any redundant exercises, or any better exercises that I should be implementing that be great. Again I really wanna take working out more seriously and I could use some pointers. If it’s shit please tell me lol. Thank yall
