Well, there was that time at ORD where I saw a peacock in the UC 
There's also the people who go into the lounge like they own the place. Neither are they the dime a dozen SEs nor are they the garden variety *Golds. Instead, they are flying on an érrorplan J reward flight to Santa Banana! In addition some "buy" into the lounge and figure their $25-$50 entitles them to be a douché. I would presume (and fellow FTers correct me if I'm wrong here) that the most common source of MLL passes are from colleagues who are AC elites. Presumably those elites have the same sensibilities of us on FT and wouldn't associate themselves with such bottom feeders

Ignorance and impropriety does not discriminate. It his the experienced, the noobs, the rich and the poor.

I was in the YHZ MLL last week at 5:30am and a woman had a loud Facetime call on speaker for about 10 minutes. Everyone in the lounge could hear the entire, inane conversation.
I was very, very tempted to walk over and give her the evil eye and a set of headphones.
Probably good thing I didn't, as the woman ended up sitting next to me in J. Pretty sure I snored the entire flight, so I guess we are even!

I have no hesitation in walking up to someone on Facetime handsfree. And I fear that YYZ is worse than YYC and YVR, but I could be wrong.

Recently in YDF I overheard two men bragging to each other about how, on their way to the oilfields, they would drink copious amounts of beer in the MLL to the point of not remembering the next flight.
The same guys joined their friends in the YHZ MLL who had taken over the entire food/drinks area and were very talking to each other very loudly. Almost made me wish that someone was on a speakerphone call to drown out the swearing and banter.

I think it's a woman. I could be wrong but I see painted toenail and a handbag of sorts.
Also, I think she's related to the feet-on-MLL table-woman who was in the YVR International Nov 2017 and whom the lounge agent refused to confront (my photos posted way upthread).

Not trying to defend anyone, but what’s the purpose of the table? Too low for food or laptop. For feet, perfect height
I was eating at one of the MLL tables, and I was wondering why can’t they make the table higher. That would reduce the chance of people putting their feet there.
