OP sounds like a nice guy--with a bit of a chip!
Who knows reason for mumble and comment from harassed and underpaid gate staff.
OK, you're in your seat now. Cool down...and tamp it down for the next round of perceived harassment.
Is it not rather a slur to refer to 'old and white' typical F pax without question?
Just asking.
That's so amazingly funny. I am always thrilled to hear someone say that another person has a "bit of a chip!" From the tantrums I have observed at the Gate, in the Sky Club, and during flight, it's those same flame throwers that have a nervous breakdown when something truly minor and totally random affects them in a way that doesn't fit their fancy. There is nothing better than seeing a grown man in a business suit whine, incessantly, about not getting an upgrade, having to eat pasta because other first class passengers have ordered all the chicken dishes, or finding out after landing that their bags are delayed until the next flight that will land in a short 50 minutes. Yes, when people are discriminated against, they have a chip on their shoulder. But, let some passengers get RANDOMLY SELECTED for additional screening at the security gates and look out...it’s going to be World War III!!!
