Bah had a long response for lolwut, but this isn't a commuting thread, so forget it. Just glad I don't have to fly with you bud.

My TOTD: the huge client I picked up this morning, who I'm now waiting to take back this afternoon, who raided our snacks, putting them in his pockets and man purse, and asked if I would be restocking them before our flight back this afternoon.

for the tie, some of our FA's that bring a spare empty bag on an overnite so they can bring home 15 boxes of cereal, 11 packs of oatmeal and 12 bananas from the hotel breakfast.

That's not a tool, that's simply no class.

I'm not gonna call somebody out for taking a box of cereal to eat during a quick turn, but doing your grocery shopping on a trip? YGBSM.

Dude?!! You have a synagog in the back of an 18 wheeler? Here I thought mobile meth labs were inovative.

I am all confused on what I was quoting now.

My new Tool is our Flight attendant who made us lose free breakfast and stopped a few hotel from opening up the continental breakfast early for us because she would go in and take every thing and i mean everything. i.e. show up at Hotel see a nice big basket of fruit go to room decide I want an apple. go down stairs and am in time to see said FA dump entire bowl into her purse. I can't figure out if her house is full of little cereal boxes and when she pours milk for a bowl of cereal does it take like ten of the small milks?

I had an executive level secretary suggest that the pilots at my former (commuter) airline "donate" all our "unused" motel toiletries to the homeless.

She stopped when I emailed the suggestion to her that we also "donate" all the "unused" galley supplies from the aircraft each night. You know, those sodas and snacks provided by mainline?
