I really wish there was a foot stool. I'm not overly short, but I struggle with finding a comfortable way to recline my seat and stretch my legs without ending up with a giant gap between my back and the back of the seat. I either have to recline my seat and set my feet down, or raise my seat back and stretch my legs out.

Yeah, on one flight the front table portion was so askew that when I placed my red wine glass on it, and assumed it was level, a moment later I found it in my lap. I had 10 more hours left on my flight (this was on a 777, but same issue).

My flight delay wasn't long enough to finish typing all the ideas I wanted to put in my report and afterwards I forgot them.

I'm sitting in J (upgrade cleared at 100 hrs) on flt. 19 right now (JFK-LAX), somewhere above Iowa.
I am livid (livid!) that we were served cookies-and-cream ice cream with chocolate shavings when the passed menu states clearly that we'd be receiving chocolate ice cream topped with marshmallows and chopped walnuts.
This is an affront to everything we hold sacred in a civil society. This is the last straw, and I'm moving to Canada.

Miscellaneous
- Having someone in coach (or -worse- a FA) put their luggage in F
- Having someone in F put their luggage in bulkhead when I'm in the bulkhead row, even though their seat is much farther back, forcing me to put mine behind me and them.
- Why aren't the luggage cmpts expanded on both sides of the plane?
- The fact that there are no electric outlets beyond a certain row. If I've been unlucky enough to get one of those s**ty seats, at least give me some freaking power.
- Nothing I have ever left in F has EVER been returned (two really nice jackets, a phone, headsets, power adapters).
- F seats that are useless if the person in front reclines
- Gogo just isn't good enough to do Netflix online videos with. They just don't make IFI the way they used to.
- The guy in the aisle seat opposite mine on this flight that thought the best way to get rid of his extraneous blanket was to put it in MY aisle seat. I saw him. I totally did. Problem is I'm too nice to just throw it right back at him.
- Having a FA say "turn off your cell phones" before the door is shut, often followed by the "you have to obey us" announcement
- Ppl that think they're so special they don't have to shut off their phones when it IS time.
- +1 on the "very full flight" comment
- +1 on not having access to FL as an EXP
- +1 on paying for drinks in AC
- Just having to pay for AC as an EXP. It's just wrong.
- People who bring on more than 2 carry-ons, or giant things like guitars & trophies
- Seat table designs that assume I have a 32" waist.
- Gate announcement speakers that don't cover the areas where ppl obviously are seating (e.g. today's DFW gate of C7. Speakers work 100' away, but not at the small area right next to the desk in front of Starbucks. Can't hear SQUAT)
- PPl that do the crossword/sudoku on the IFM then leave the mag.
I feel better now.

In the spirit of this thread, can we start suggesting other threads to consolidate? My nominations:
Gas Pedal in AA F Transcon Amenity Kits
FA rolling her eyes + giving away drinks to friends, should I complain?
AA lost my priority tagged luggage at MIA
No More AA for Me!
Chatty FA on Eagle
Fear of being cheated by Citibank

Must be a slow news day because:
1. No weather anywhere
2. All diapers empty, but flights held just in case
3. Every animal held hostage in Grenada safefly home
4. Almost severed toes miraculously repaired
5. Everyone's upgrade cleared at 101 hours
6. All Kettles and gate lice on Southwest today, where they so richly belong
7. Drink coupons in the AC being given ONLY to those travelling to OKC or TUL
8. Compensation being given without being asked for no reason at all
9. 777's to AUS & SAT (with "lucky coach" for all)
10. Limos from terminal to terminal at LHR
