I fly out of PHX every week, there are like 5 lanes leading into TSA all clearly marked. Employees, Pre-Check, Preferred/First, People who need assistance, Regular line. Every week while i'm waiting in the Preferred line there there are at least 2-3 groups of people that wander into whichever lane they feel like and either realize their mistake once they've started down the lane or get told by TSA that they made a mistake. I have witnessed the same thing every week since Feb.

This won't happen, as it is contrary to the TSA's goal of ensuring passengers don't know whether they will be able to use the PreCheck lane until the scanner.

On my last YEG-YVR in Y, the lady sitting beside me turned and ask me " Why are the seats so uncomfortable"?
I told her I had no clue... She was the worst seatmate ever though
she brought a blanket along and tried to sleep and tossed and turned and complained the whole flight. She didn't end up sleeping ... haha

It wouldn't have to indicate if it's going to clear LLL, just that the person is enrolled in Pre at all and eligible to enter that line.

Here's a winner from a customer at my rental car company:
I admired her brevity, that's for sure.
Hello, I'd like to rent a car but I don't have any money, what can you do for me?

On UA landing at Tegel from EWR in BF a woman asked the FA "May I use the washroom?"....we were on final approach and you could pretty much read the license plate number of the cars from the current altitude.

I have relatives with Crohn's disease and they can't always control when they'll need to use the bathroom. Admittedly during landing is a bad time, but my family have asked FAs if they could use the bathroom during boarding or while we're taxiing to the gate after we landed.

My friend declined to join the army many years ago after her visit to an army recruitment day. She was about 18 and desperate to join so she could drive 'big things'! The recruiter asked what area of the army interested her and she thought she'd reply with a joke. She said.."I'd like to be in the infantry so that I can look after all the babies". He didn't appreciate the humour and thus she did not sign up!

Makes me think of people who ask "who flies non-stop to Chicago" the correct answer actually is "every flight into Chicago is non-stop" they assume we know which airport they are flying out of, which would have an entirely different answer.
