I find that these very thin/fine Sharpies work great. I had the same (well 1K) problem as you and then tried one of those that I keep to sign prints/books with.

Fly across the Pacific and earn a $50 certificate
There is a link on mileage+ offer page that says "Fly across the Pacific and earn a $50 certificate" and the offer ends "Thursday, Feb 5, 2015".
http://www.united.com/web/en-US/apps...s/airline.aspx
The link leads to a registration page that demands flying on Continental and the offer expires on November 30, 2010.

Today in the SFO UC, one of the indiviual serving country crock margarine tubs was only half filled, which meant I had to go back to the serving area to get another one for my bagel. I didn't have to use all of the additional tub to achieve proper consistency, which means I may have deprived another customer of a tub.
Or cost Jeff more money.

The purser/IFM from my MUC-EWR flight today didn't remember me when I recognized him from a EWR-HKG flight this summer.

Obviously by being in this thread I am saying it in jest.
The reason I remembered him was because he was great on the HKG flight.
When I got on I thought it was him, then wasn't sure and I said well if I find out he is the purser than it has to be.
I mentioned HKG and he said "ya but it has been a while, probably the summer" and bingo it was in July when I flew.

Tray tables in GF and BF are awkwardly and annoyingly far from my body, and no matter what position I contort either myself or my seat into, I find myself having to hold my plate with one hand and operate the silverware with the other, because at the end of the day the tray table is just too far away from me to eat directly from the table without leaning uncomfortably far forward.

) ...to gate check their bags." Dooohhhh! 
Another problem: often when I hear GA say "full flight," I glance at the podium computer screen to find that it is not a full flight; that there are a few seats not sold. Com'on... full means full, it doesn't mean "nearly full."

The butter that came with my meal in F today was so hard it tore my roll up when I tried to spread it. Come on UA, you can warm my nuts but you can't warm my butter 
On a side note, the asian noodle salad with chicken was quite good.

And yes, I know the trick to tuck it into or on something warm to soften it up.

Not really United's fault but didn't know where to vent:
Some upstanding citizen in 2A spilled his drink at some point during the flight and didn't bother to tell me. I was sitting behind him with my backpack under his seat. Imagine my surprise at the end of the flight when everything was wet. Luckily it wasn't enough to soak into my laptop.
