As dumb as whatever they're saying or doing may be, lashing out only brings it back to us 10 fold.
I'm very passive aggressive when it comes to the TSA... if they start making my life more difficult, I ensure that their day gets just a bit worse. Luckily that has been a rarity recently. |

ahem- ATC was laying into the airplane, not the other way around.

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. We have quaint notions about Government for the people, but in reality, we're just a Third World Kleptocracy. The sooner you bow to authority (without regard for its legitimacy) the happier man you will be. The players are the winners :) |

No one has mentioned the ones that wear black tennis shoes or clogs. I know Super has a great pic on a guy doing just that. :D

How about the young pilot seating at the hotel lobby early in the morning, in uniform, drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper…
…even though his show is not until 3:15pm |

My tool of the day:
Traveling standby out of LAS, and I actually make the flight (2 empty seats). But there's no space in the overhead bins where I'm sitting, so I toss my bag into one of the open bins in first class. The following conversation ensued, verbatim: Tool in 1st class: "You didn't just crush my laptop, did you?" Me: "Yeah. I smashed it to pieces." Tool in 1st class: "Don't get smart with me!" Me: "Who the hell are you?" Tool in 1st class: stammers...everyone starts to giggle, I walk back to my seat & a dude high-fives me. ^^^ Was not in uniform when that happened :D thank god |
