88b Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just flown home from Rome, some of the carry on baggage we saw I thought exceeded hold baggage limits. Do these idiots really think it will fit in an overhead locker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of consideration for your flow passenger (along with the concept of a queue) is foreign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Laughed at the 'intolerable kids' one. I was on a flight with a colleague a while back who is possibly the grumpiest man I know when lack of sleep is the issue (and on a business trip and Expo we had not slept much and had stinking hangovers). On the flight some kids were sat on this row and the parents just plugged into headphones and ignored them. They must have been between 5 and 8 years old. They constantly whistled the 'kill bill' thing and kept screaming and being generally annoying - and the worst bit was they kept on throwing things over their heads landing on my colleague - this was when he blew. He started telling me in a loud voice nearly every rude word and naughty thing he could muster, tell the kids that they should start yelling (insert incredibly rude word here) and they did. He then started to tell them to steal their parents vodka and drink it etc... at this point the father took out his ear phone and went berserk, and moved the kids to his and the wife's seat and kept them quiet. Never been so embarrassed being associated with that. Only nearly as bad was when my partner told me I was going to be a dad over the phone just before I boarded a emirates flight to Dubai on a trip and I got so drunk on the free gin and tonics I accidentally dribbled on the lady next to me's shoulder when I fell asleep. Lord knows how I got into Dubai, must be good at pretending to be sober -I was swaying when the passport person took my photo on the webcam thingie.

Same on the roads , they will back down if your assertive enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys were overtaking on blind bends with a mobile phone in one hand. Omg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
