ok I understand having a tag - or even more than a tag if you have more than one airline status - or expired tags on 2nd piece of luggage, but stacked expired tags from the same program ... come on

I have my UA/A3/BA status tags and a Flyertalk tag on one string, but always forget to put them on luggage

Where the heck do you get a flyertalk tag!?!

Is it weird I aspire to be an evangelist - well a FT evangelist.

Joe Kickass needs to watch more Daniel Tiger. "if you feel so mad that you want to roar... take a deep breath, and count to 4". If more FFers had little kids, they wouldn't be such d!cks, haha.

I used to get some work done in the evenings at home and it really annoyed my wife. I stopped and then found flyer talk - which may even annoy her more (win-win) as I don't get paid to flyer talk!

I had a FT tag before I had an Elite tag

I actually haven't had one on my bag in a while. Maybe I'll throw it back on beside my Elite tag.

I gave up a little on all the FT stuff after wearing my FT t-shirt on a MR, getting no recognition throughout the trip, and then having someone PM me after I got back to say he saw me.

I still wear the shirt though - I bought a red one, and I think it looks nice

I am more referring to people who not longer appear to have any kind of status and are clinging to the past good old day. Like that bald man with one sting left that he insists on combing all day long to make it seem like he has hair...
