Probably not a huge issue at RSW...but a major CF at LGA where there's no space at all, and tons of elites.

The flight attendant added four ice cubes instead of three for my second drink. It was too cold too fast.

Only three of my four domestic flights this week were catered with sparking wine. And on one of those three I had to ask the FA to "double check" after she said they didn't have it, which they did.

Jetbridge lice.
You get off a UX, and step to the side of the jet bridge, waiting for your gate checked carry-on. Most of the pax line up in order, like we were taught in kindergarten, but Mr DYKWIA stands down in the pit because he wants HIS BAG NOW!!
Best retort was from baggage handler who told a DYKWIA - "please take your place in line behind those who were here before you"

I can only seem to open the packets of hand sanitizer in the GF amenity kit with my teeth.

On a recent ord>sfo flight (delayed 4 hrs due to sfo issues), they didn't give us a cookie in F. And the cookies I got at the UC didn't taste great. And the video content on my iPad wasn't interesting to watch. At this point, I don't have any booked travel on ual for 2015.

This morning I got upgraded to first on a new 737 but couldn't enjoy the Sky Interior ceiling because there are rafts installed.

Or even better are the ones that leap up and rush to the front of the UAX flight coming into YYZ. Since we are parked out in the boonies without a Jet Bridge, they don't even open the door until all the Gate Check Baggage is unloaded and brought around to the front.
I get some strange stares, while I calmly sit and continue to read until I hear the 'thump, thump' on the door that indicates its ok to open now. This is generally at least 10 and can be as long as 30 minutes between seat belt sign off and door open.
