What's the stupidest, least substantive thing you can complain about?
Thread founder Blumie had the following dedicatory post to kick off the original thread in June of 2010 to guide us, so we will take our cues from that to continue this hallowed FT-AA|A tradition. (FT Rules still apply.)
What's FT if not a place to complain about the small stuff? After all, we've seen threads in which people have complained about virtually everything, from the ceiling height at JAX to the font, ink and paper used to print boarding passes. So I thought I'd start what I hope will become the one of the most valuable and important threads in the history of FT, one in which we consolidate all of our complaints about stuff that just doesn't matter and that validates AA's decision not to have an official presence on this board.
I'll go first: I find it really annoying the way the napkins are fanned before being put out at the Admirals Clubs. Is this supposed to make us feel like the place is uber-fancy? Why don't they just forget about the fanning and put out some real napkins instead of the flimsy cocktail napkins they use?

The F lav on narrowbodies is not tall enough for me. I prefer walking back to Y as I can actually stand up without whacking my head on the slope!!

Whenever I look out the window during a flight and see another airplane, it always seems to be going faster than the plane I'm on. It just burns me up when AA tries to save fuel by flying slowly.

I was in F last night from DFW-LHR.
No drink service orders taken. Seems an hour into the flight (after much hussle and bustle up front with doors and carts and whatnot) they put down placemats, water and warm nuts...... **I** had to ask "can I get something to drink?"
How many SWUs can I get as compensation?

My call back from the EXP desk was 2 minutes late! Unacceptable!
(on a more substantive note: The EXP desk has got noticeably worse recently, quite a few agents either don't listen or plain don't know what they're doing).

I find the flavor of the cloned condor egg omelets vastly inferior to the taste of the free range variety.
