Sorry, I'm feeling more passive aggressive than usual today.
This is why a small purse size can of Ozium comes in handy - if sitting nearby someone doing this, just pull it out and spray their feet. Kill two birds with one stone - feet and table are disinfected, and the message is delivered.

YYC at 5:30 AM and watching the news on the big screen. Woman over starts yapping on the phone, i am watching the news..... i got up and sat next to her and starting smiling at her, just as someone who just got out of prison after 15 years would


She stopped and moved! ^

I said nothing, nothing at all, it was all in the body language so its true what they say, we communicate 80% with our body.

I was in the YYT MLL in late December, and the man behind me was acting in a similar disgusting manner. Every second word was an f-bomb in his rather loud conversation with someone on the phone. I don't like to use the term rig pig, but this man certainly fits the description!

This was almost as bad as the pigs who frequent YYZ Dom. MLL and are always getting hammered in the food/drink area...

Words cannot express my frustration!

While this did not occur on Air Canada, I feel it is worth noting.

I was flying on Provincial Airlines from YYR-YDF two years ago, and I ended up on the flight with all the shift workers. The flight, of course, had to correspond with payday. The end result of this was about 25 men being absolutely loaded for the duration of the flight. It got to the point where they were constantly flirting with the flight attendants, pre-paying for the next beer, etc.

To put it bluntly, I could not wait to get the hell off that flight...

These days, body decorations and accessories are less-reliable indicators of gender.

This reminds me of a several months back at the YYZ TB MLL early morning. This was a businessperson looking all flashy talking on their SPEAKERPHONE in the lounge. This individual was clearly upset and was yelling numerous four letter words and offensive phrases I did not even exist! To top it off all there was a kid around the age of 6 I'd estimate maybe about 10 feet away. I went up to the "exec" and started shaking my head. He ignored me initially but when I started to do so violently up in his grill he got the message

I can't understand how someone could get hammered on food. Normally when I over-indulge in food, I end up being in a meat-coma where every movement or action on my end feels like I'm running a marathon!

Re: photo with barefeet on table. I wouldn't be able to show restraint in this situation... I'd be Constable YVR72.

I do recall seeing Asian style chicken in the MLL INTL lounge at YYZ before. I also distinctly recall there being roast beef at the YUL around New Years time. Sometimes AC does surprise and delight

A typical single-user configuration at the crowded LAX MLL on Sunday afternoon. Note strategic placement of bag, jacket, and power cord to discourage usage of nearby seats. And yes, the power outlet next to the person's seat was functional (I checked).

Clearly that passenger thought they were in the Signature Suite lounge

Exclamation

Folks, a number of off topic posts have been deleted as this thread isn't about other airline lounges at LAX but rather "Pet Peeves or annoying passengers in the MLL" so please stick to that topic.
