No bro, listen, I fly all the time
The response to this is simple: "Me too."

I'd like to nominate myself for tool of the day. Is that allowed?

I took what was clearly speculation from mostly sketchy sources, converted it to fact in my mind and not only started a new thread, but also brought it up in 2 other threads using a toolish metaphor about music stopping wrt to another pilot group.

I've been rightfully admonished and I feel like a POS.

Maybe a stint as TOTD will do me some good.

Now mind you, during this 4 hour flight we had maybe 15 minutes of light turbulence over the gulf... Certainly nothing Terrible and borderline leave the belt sign off. I just gave a reasoned "well we did our best but for the most part we got lucky and found some smooth air.... Interrupted. "No bro, listen, I fly all the time, that was the bumpiest flight ever, that was terrible, you guys did a terrible job". At this point I'm getting a bit annoyed and starting to laugh a bit at the seeing this jersey shore esk dude with his cage rattled.

Me: "sir, is this your wife"
Meathead: "yeah bro"
Me: "cool, miss how bad were the bumps in the cabin"
Her: " umm, just fine. I don't know why he's freaking out."
Me: "sir, if you continue to complain about the ride infront of your wife and your fellow Long Island passengers, I'll be forced to confiscate your man card"
Wife: laughter
Meathead: silence
The guy sounds like Johnny Drama.

sulkair, I don't know if that qualifies. If you screw up and recognize it, I don't think you're a tool. Tools don't generally realize what they are, and certainly don't feel bad about being one.

Glad to help. And if you fessed up and apologized, in particular you are not a POS, as you called yourself. We have all made errors in judgment, that's for sure!

Now just don't let it torment you.
