Here is a real pet bitch of mine. :  Fucking carry on luggage. : Why do people have to drag bags that don't fit under their seat or in the over head compartment onto a plane? In return why do the airlines have this sign at the gate that says, "You carry on Luggage must fit into a compartment this size", then no one enforces it? This past week at least 45 minutes of my time was wasted watching assholes, yes I said assholes, trying to stuff their over sized luggage bags into the over head compartment when I was getting on the plane. Then I was lucky enough to have to watch the same assholes, yes I said assholes, trying to pull the same over sized bag out of the overhead compartment. The biggest part that pisses me of is that this assholes, yes I said assholes, don't care if they are holding up the whole plane. They stay there trying to figure out how they can put a bag that is bigger than the opening into that opening. Duh dumb shit it won't fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This just pisses me off to the point that I open my mouth and start and argument with the asshole holding up the parade. (this pisses Denice off when I do that). So I tell them to shove their bag up their ass and push by them to get to my seat or off the plane. Fuck' em' don't waste my vacation time buddy. If I owned an Airline, there would be no carry on luggage on my planes. Nothing bigger than a ladies purse and there would be size limits on them to. Everything would have to be checked in. If you don't like it don't fly my airline. I would guarantee you we would never have a problem boarding or unloading the planes. What say you out there? Yeah I know I am asshole and I am proud of it!!!! ;D ;D ;D By the way if any of you fit the description of any of the people I mentioned here, I apologize in advance. But stuff you carry on luggage you know where. ;D ;D Joe. |

Joe, you are an asshole but we LOVE YOU for it. And I almost agree with you ... except for the part about not allowing anything bigger than a ladies' purse on a plane. I am one of the very few who actually observe the airline rules regarding weight and linear dimensions for carry-on luggage. I am also pissed off by those who get away with bringing more than one piece of luggage or over-sized pieces. I think the agents who collect our boarding passes should visually inspect everything we carry and really enforce the rules to ensure that all our carry-on bag is in accordance with the airline's posted specifications.

I agree with you Joe. I have a suitcase that is legal size for carry-on, but I always check it. I only carry on my laptop-bag/briefcase. If there isn't an overhead rack, it goes under the seat with no problem. You are right, those pinheads do hold up the show.
The worst offenders are the ones who stuff their bag UP FRONT over a low-numbered seat (as they are boarding first), then go and sit in the back. The poor shlub who comes along later already has his luggage spot taken! Now THOSE are assholes!......Jake

I almost always only travel with carry-on luggage, but it all fits nicely under the seat in front of me (when I shove it violently with my foot) if there's no room in the overheads.
I laugh my head off at the idiots who keep trying to make their stuff fit overhead when it just ain't gonna fit. I haven't noticed any excessive time problems with the situation though.
MY gripe is all the bumble-fucks who insist on putting their chair all the way back during the entire flight--especially when the flight is full and the chair is in my lap.
My technique these days for these louts is to scream in surprise and pain when they do it. They invariably look back in shock, and I then politely ask them if they wouldn't mind keeping their seat in the upright during the flight since it's so crowded and there's so little room as it is.
All but one has complied with my wishes (or they ch-ch-change seats). The one who didn't got to experience my revenge of getting up every 15-20 minutes and using the back of the goon's chair (bounce bounce) to lift myself up. Oh, were you asleep? I normally never touch the chair in front of me when I get up (no easy feat) to avoid bouncing them (OH LOOK, another Gripe of mine! Get your freaking weight off my chair!).
Oh! And speaking of airports...WHY can't Americans stand on the RIGHT (instead of the middle) and pass on the left like the rest of the world? MOVE OVER, bungholes! I'm coming through!
Thank you. I feel better now.

This has never been a problem for me. I usually fly in the cargo section.

Ah Chris, Remind me to never sit in front you on an airplane. ;D But I agree with you on that point to. There are some real unconsiderate people out there. They ain't just assholes Jake they are Fucking Assholes. They really fuck up the situtation. Joe. |

BB--That pic almost made me heave.... How tragic it is that on this message board, there are so many unsophisticated louts who do not understand how to support the artist while he is in his early, evolutionary phase. Critique the painting when it is finished, not while the artist is still working on his canvas. |

Hey! Think of your own insulting name-calling words, BB. LOUT was my word earlier up. I'd like to say that this new picture is more tasteful. (Note my clever use of the subjunctive and double entendre.)

(Note my clever use of the subjunctive and double entendre.) Damn way too much material in this thread already. Joe.. you ARE an asshole (I will leave it at that for now) ;D BB.. I thought they had laws that protect animals from hazards while flying in airplane cargo holds, how do you manage?? Chris, if you do end up heaving as a result of BB... just retire the keyboard and mail it to BB for his collection... please refer to the threads about sending toxic substances through the mail first. Also Chris... have you heard about these little guys?? www.kneedefender.com/My big bitch topic on flying... no doubt in my mind that America is an overweight nation and these (mostly guys) are about the most obnoxious when it comes to space sharing. I am talking about the 300+ pounders who end up sitting next to you taking custody of the full extent of BOTH armrests OR EVEN WORSE, flip up the armrests and allow themselves to ooze into the neighboring seat(s). BUY A SECOND FUCKIN TICKET JERK and QUIT USING PART OF MY TICKET. Jake said Whats worse is, those are the ones who BITCH at the people trying to scramble backwards against the disembarking flow to retrieve their carryons because the ass put his stuff up front. We have the carryon rules pounded into us here because we have to fly those REAL small 35 passenger prop planes to MSP. Mesaba Airlines is like the gestapo, 1 mm over size and you WILL DO a planeside check of the offending bag (they are real nice to those with legitimate large items, like kids car seats and mega-bottles of Sangsters Rum Cream) Gordon |

[ My big bitch topic on flying... no doubt in my mind that America is an overweight nation and these (mostly guys) are about the most obnoxious when it comes to space sharing.

BUY A SECOND FUCKIN TICKET JERK and QUIT USING PART OF MY TICKET. Gordon Here's a good story about getting fucked out of part of your seat by a fat person. My Friend Steve, his wife, sister and brother in-law where flying to Hawaii for vacation. This took place in 1999 so I don't remember the airline. Steve's sister had the middle seat and by the luck of God she got one of those 450 pound people to set next to her. The person would not fit in the seat so the stewardess lifted the arm rest and told the person to sit down and Steve's sister to move over. She refused. The stewardess said the plane was full and that there are no other seats available, and that if she did not move over she would have her removed from the plane and she would forfeit her ticket. When her husband spoke up they told him the same thing. Not wanting to miss the start of her vacation she did. She spend the next 5 hours using only half her seat. Fortunately her husband was in the next seat so the raised the arm rest and shared seats. When they returned home the wrote the airlines and the airline never replied to their letter. Talk about getting fucked. Either move over for fatso or get chucked off the plane. How about chucking fatso of the plane for being so fucking fat? Gordon's right make them by two or three fucking tickets. Joe. |

Sorry Joe, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon  MY gripe is all the bumble-fucks who insist on putting their chair all the way back during the entire flight--especially when the flight is full and the chair is in my lap. On a flight to NY from London a couple of years ago the asshole in front of me reclined his seat DURING the meal. The seat came back so fast my half-empty red wine bottle was knocked over with enough force to upset the plastic cup I had just poured the wine into. Half the wine ended up in my lap on my pants and shirt, the rest went over my cream colored jacket that was on the floor next to my feet. Just about everyone in the seats around us who didn't have their headphones on heard the names I called him through the gap in the seat. Now when we fly, before we take off, I always ask the person in front not to recline their seat during the flight. We also suffered, on another transatlantic fight, an asshole in the row behind getting up every 15 - 20 minutes to go for a walk, and pulling on the back of each of our seats both as he manoeuvred himself out to the aisle, and again on his return. After he had woken her up half a dozen times Sam, who is usually the most non-confrontational person you could ever meet, waited for him to come back then told him exactly what would happen to him if he did it again. She wouldn't tell me what she threatened to do to him but for the next few hours whenever he went for one of his strolls he got in and out with the grace and dexterity of a ballet dancer ;D Simon |

Probably. It was a British Airways flight, our airline of choice, and their wines are usually pretty good. It was the outbound flight to NY so it was probably a French Bordeaux (sorry Joe ) which is what they usually seem to have onboard. On the return they usually serve American wines. I enjoy red wine and I've never found fault with anything BA serve. Simon |

Coming back from Australia a couple of years ago, had a family two rows behind us. The brother n law and family were right behind us. The litle girl in the family got on the plane bitching that she didn't feel good.....BITCHED FOR 14 1/2 HOURS!!!!! I swear, the plane was 100 feet off the ground coming in to LA, and she threw up everywhere!!! Oh My Gawd!!!! I thought a chain reaction with 425 people was about to happen!
First trip to Ja, we went US Air...the plane was way delayed and when we finally got on, the bitch flight attendant threw our fucking box lunch on my tray and said 'Pass it'...............bitch.
