minor things that make you fume

I just don't use airports. It saves all the rules, the hassle

Probably for the best, you‘d only be stuck in the departure lounge struggling to open your boots meal deal sandwich.

People at airports, what is it about plane travel that makes people so utterly ignorant, arrogant, stupid, pretentious, entitled, etc.

I actually saw recently where a guy just casually walked past the line, when we were boarding the plane, and down the tunnel. The ticketing guy was a bit shocked but recovered to stop him and scan his ticket. This person had a look of surprise and then a 'Oh yeah, of course' look on his face. I mean who does this, who thinks that this is normal, even if you are rushed, stressed or whatever the basic thought process is that I have to line up and get your ticket scanned before I can enter the place where I 100% need a ticket to enter.

I would say that on average the employees at boarding announce the rules of boarding around 2/3 times (sometimes in multiple languages) yet as boarding starts, you can guarantee that you will hear an exasperated voice to tell them again and again and again what the rules are, especially during the time when you had to have covid documents.

Always thought working in an airport looks like the grimmest jobs going. Except for the baggage handlers.
Being an air host on a 3 hour Ryanair flight must be one of the worst.

Real scum behaviour. Have fights and be lads but there’s kids and families on the flight. Selfish numpties. Should have their passports taken off them and sent straight back on arrival.

I remember being on a train once and a load of Geordie lads doing coke off a table with loads of families about. Acting like they owned the place. Only bonus was me and my brother were jumping the train and the inspector was to feared to come through.

Peasants should not be allowed to travel for 10 years.

Me: quick oil change on the van before I wash it.

Universe: I plan a bleeding, gushing scalp and the necessity to order a new oil filter housing for I have inspired Ford designers to make one that siezes.

I mean .... oil .... siezes?? Ffs!

Sieze?

Why do bouncers love steroids yet still manage to be obese. Maybe try some cardio lads.

 

[chrismpw]

Sieze?

It is obviously seize.

Some perspective: stupid English teachers ramming "i before e except after c" into my head - a rule that isn't always that true in my experience. Add to that spending 28 years watching the children of the great unwashed spelling words in every different conceivable manner and one starts doubting one's own spelling .... so I opted for the wrong one on that occasion. WHERE WAS AUTOCORRECT THEN EH? WHERE? WHERE WERE YOU?

And in other news .... are you bored today? lol

I commuted from Kilkenny to Dublin by train for over 5 years. Idiots shouting on their mobile phones really tee'd me off. I would really advocate some Quiet carriages where phones and talking are banned - probably crisps too

Took the train up from London to Liverpool recently and the journey was fine but made the mistake of getting the last train back. Seated in the quiet car all was well until a couple who did not speak english decided to play music on their phones and sing/dance. Went on for an hour or so. No one could explain to them why they should stop. Probably blagging the language issue.
