Skinny jeans!! Now that's funny!

I can take a lot but I will not stand idly by and have someone senselessly slander electric scooters. They are convenient and fun and just a little dangerous.

His man bun works as a vertical stabilizer when the scooter hits top speed

Exactly, we board after 1st, EC, and SKY on the boarding pass. Sky means frequent fliers of all types and Buzz Aldrin. You will be checking your bag and proceeding to baggage claim to retrieve your bent Purdy neat bag. Or maybe it's been lost. Which means I'm not flying a 6 day trip.

As they spin out of control and sweat pours from their face because the door isn't closed, smile and remind them this would not happen if given the proper seat and boarding priority. ATL is the worst offender by far.
On a DH flight in seat 38B, near the end of boarding I was asked to check my bag. I politely agreed with the gate agent's request and asked if she minded waiting while I repacked my luggage. When she tagged the bag, I laid it down on the ground and explained that it wasn't going in the belly in it's current condition. The lithium ion batteries had to be removed as well as FOM required items, personal items like car keys, wallet, etc. She asked the Flight Leader if I could just put the bag in the closet instead....

Sadly the easiest fix for management is to require DH in uniform and force us to put bags in the belly, rather than fix the seating/boarding priority. The problem with this is that when seated in 38B, your bag is likely to end up in baggage claim. I've actually had this happen, but it was only a small delay leaving JFK.

Allow deadheads to board with the wheelchairs and families. Add it to the announcement and the passengers would be fine with it. Call us "repositioning crewmembers" or something.

Southwest boards crew early, haven't ever heard a passenger complain about them allowing crewmembers to board early.

I don't know, when most people realize I'm a crewmember they say something like, "plane can't leave without you!". If they know we're on the clock, I doubt many people would take issue.
