people who get all super eager to board a flight - trying to cut in line or whatever. why do you want to race to your seat to sit and wait?
when a flight lands and everyone bolts up, rushes for their bags and crowds the aisles, as if its going to help them get off the plane sooner. meanwhile everyone is now forced to be crammed in uncomfortably with one another for the next 25 minutes. we're all going to get to exit guys

I don't get it either. My friend's bathroom is like that. The first time I lifted the toilet seat it crashed back down; a few times after I'd still forget and just catch it in time, then stand there pissing while holding it back up. Definitely something I'd fix immediately.
Those plush toilet lid covers are often responsible for this. Any man who tolerates this should be publicly shamed as a specimen of the hen-pecked and pussy-whipped. Other men should not associate with such a person until that plush cover is thrown in the trash where it belongs! |

My theory is they hope to stake out some precious space in the overhead bins before they're full. |

this is a true pet peeve, because it shouldn't annoy me that much, but hearing 'more [adjective]' when it would have been neater to suffix -er or -ier, e.g. more fast vs faster, more angry vs angrier. doubtless there are cases when 'more' is required either grammatically or to avoid a mouthful, and doubtless i'm just as guilty sometimes, being the poor orator that i am, but it jut annoys me to hear.

It's those others who think flying is something 'important'.

It's the hinge on the seat at my friend's. I've never had an issue with plush seats (I actually like them) forcing the seat down; that must be some massively thick toilet cover! |

i think that's the right theory. they can be spotted early on, the ones doing the most shopping before boarding time, so they can cram their handbags into everybody else's overhead bin space so that you have to put your tiny bag under the front seat and your coat in your lap so you eat and drink all over it.
rushing to get off the plane- some of those are the same from the group above and some may be nervous to catch a connecting flight, although it's pointless when a bus waits for everyone on board to take them from the plane to the terminal.
also, when you're left stranded at 9 pm after missing a connecting flight and the airline gets you an overnight stay at a hotel including vouchers for dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and the hotel shuttle service is a tiny van that takes 6 people and there's 30-40 stranded people and it takes the shuttle 30 minutes to complete one ride and the hotel restaurant is only open until 10 and in the group of stranded people there are again some that shine their talent of cutting everyone else in line to cram into the shuttle and get fed.
also, when you have a voucher for breakfast the next morning, but your flight is at 7.30 and you have to catch the first shuttle at 5.30 and the hotel restaurant doesn't open until 7.
also, when you can't wait to eat an apple and a bagel left for you in the lobby to take in the morning and the shuttle driver keeps giving you angry looks in the rear view mirror for dropping crumbs in his freshly cleaned van. |

And everyone else definitely has a reseved seat, i.e. that's standard on your flights?Most low-cost airlines here charge extra for that, so if you're in a group or fussy about where you sit, it can pay off to be eager and queue up before the gate opens. No queue jumping though, that's just wrong.

- people who have tattoos that complain about people asking about their tattoos. this is so stupid to me, and I've encountered it more than once. so, you get a giant obnoxious tattoo that is very much a "statement" or provocative art piece or whatever, but you don't want people to ask you about it?

Not a Guinness man, floop, suppose I'll just stick to the crappy piss-weak stuff I usually drink (i.e. H******n, Becks, etc.). Spotted a new range of American ales in a supermarket during the week, was tempted to pop a bottle or two in my basket (even though I'm just an 'occasional' drinker). |

that is strange, i've yet to encounter those. i too thought tattoos were just another way to communicate, not much unlike someone else putting on a t-shirt that says "i heart moms" for instance, only more costly and painful and longer lasting (thus more serious). maybe the type you describe like to speak but not to listen. |

I'm assuming Islands is a chain I've never heard of.
I understand if you're stuck somewhere with no other options (or if you can't afford a local restaurant, but sometimes they're even cheaper than the chains, but I recognize it may be out of someone's price range) but I don't understand choosing something like Appleby's over a local place. I guess if you don't know any better?
Chain restaurants have terrible food. Tasteless facsimile.
I love finding a new place to eat and sharing it with friends.

Ed is the hoo hoo
I think I was cut off in traffic by an Armenian meathead in a BMW. Tough to remember individual events with something that's happened so many times. (It's like trying to recall the details of a time you brushed your teeth 4 years ago.) Maybe we stopped at a red light and he lined up in the right turn lane, then went straight and blasted ahead of me. Traffic laws and common sense don't apply to those guys. What would all their friends think? They may terrorize our neighborhoods but at least we don't have to worry about them stealing our American women. At least not until American women are ready to be dragged around by their hair. |

i second the rinse and wipe peeve. PLUS, we can put a man on the moon, but we still have to dirty up dishes three times a day?
