Edgar Allen Ho posted:Part of my job is weighing and judging people's carry-ons, and holy poo poo. There's a lot of peeves but that encapsulates them. Just check your luggage (another thing I have to do- loading the cargo) instead of trying to game the system. Stop airlines from charging money to check baggage and we'll talk. Flying is expensive enough without having to pay an extra $50 to check a bag. For the record though I heft my own drat bags into the overhead, I generally pack light, and I never get in people's way.

But first class and Comfort customers complained enough that they weren't getting on the plane first that Delta went back to the old system of front to back which is stupid and takes forever. What I'm saying is this would never happen because it would hurt the FC/Comfort people's feelings

Fun fact: the back is where you're most likely to survive catastrophic airplane failure, if it happens. Front is second and rip near the wings and engines. Seems like first class would want the back if they knew.Joey Freshwater posted:My gf is a FA and the stories she has - I know I would not be able to be a Flight Attendant.

Takes me mere seconds to get my bag down and gtfo. If airlines charge extra money to for a thing, you are going to get a lot of people doing another thing to avoid paying. This is called human nature. If you want to get mad at somebody, get mad at the airline. It's their fault, not mine.

Yeah, it's going to have the same outcome if you charge $5 per bag or $50. Honestly though, it should be something like the first checked bag being free, but that's not profitable.

I happily handle my carry-on stuff on my own, no questions asked. The real peeve for me is, in my limited flight experience, there doesn't seem to be enough space in the overheads or people just don't care where their stuff goes as long as it's up there. Every time, the overhead above my seat was full and I had to toss my bag up there several seats away

That's a wildly-off take on USA airlines but I get it, USA-americans are extremely bad at picturing other places so must be performatively angry at the US. A peeve! e: the Sukhoi Superjet in service with Aeroflot has had 3 total losses and 86 deaths since its introduction into service in *checks notes* 2011. The last fatal US passenger crash was Colgan Air 3407 13 years ago. You do not know what you're talking about and I don't say this to glorify the USA.

My air line related peeve... Well actually not a peeve, I just find it completely baffling... Is how after landing, as soon as the seat belt sign is switched off, everyone leaps out of their seats and then stands in the aisle jammed against each other for 15 minutes until they actually open the doors. Just sit in your seat and relax, you won't get out any faster!

Honestly I just so antsy sitting for so long bored out of my mind and deeply uncomfortable that I have to resist my body from leaping up. Sometimes I’ll just stand though, in my seat. But usually I just sit and wait until I can move my through the flow of people lol

In like 2000 it was a "pet peeve" of mine to see erroneous apostrophes everywhere, in particular when they were thrown onto plurals. Like, I know people make mistakes, I make mistakes, I make grammar mistakes, but this is one of those things I just never understood. When did people start thinking you had to add apostrophes to things to make them plural? I get thinking "no one" is one word, or that "their" and "there" sound alike, but adding an apostrophe is such an extra step. In 2000 I saw it occasionally and it annoyed me; it's 2022 and as I walk downtown I see something like a full quarter to a third of all signs and notices on billboards, windows, bumper stickers, signs have apostrophes that don't need to be there. That annoys me, I guess, but it also makes me anxious, because language is really fluid and shifts in ways that is so much faster than in 2000. There are so many words that mean things now that didn't mean that five years ago and it frustrates me. And now I'm realizing that the whole apostrophe-indicating-plurality is becoming so ubiquitous that it is just going to be the way it is. I think for the last twenty years I've been seeing it build up more and more and the whole time my brain's been just waiting for it to stop, but it's not going to stop :\ The thing is, too, is that it's never consistent. Not ALL plural words get apostrophes. Sometimes the same word in the same sign will have an apostrophe once but not the second time, even if the meaning hasn't changed at all

People who change the lyrics when singing a popular song at karaoke to align with their gender/sexuality. Nobody is going to think you're gay because you're singing a popular song everyone knows the lyrics to but is about (((gasp))) a man. The last minute change from him to her just screams insecurity.

My favourite example of this kind of thing is Micheal Buble's cover of Santa Baby. He changes "baby" to "buddy" and alters a few lines in the verses but it's still very obviously a song about seducing Santa so he'll give you expensive presents.

I'm honestly curious how you would prefer heavy metal to be portrayed in media/advertising, like are there any modern acts making and performing new "heavy metal" as opposed to one of the spinoff genres? Red Fang was over a decade ago and apparently they're "Sludge Metal" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VufilzHKTqk e: wait, more people should give a poo poo about Devin Townsend, that's heavy metal that's still being made stringless has a new favorite as of 13:07 on Mar 31, 2022 |

I vaguely understand what you mean but can you give an example? The first thing that comes to mind is the Scrubs scene where the ambulance driver says “do you like speed metal?” and then puts on Devildriver. Conversely the use of Kreator in Dark was very good.
