What's the stupidest, least substantive thing you can complain about?
Thread founder Blumie had the following dedicatory post to kick off the original thread in June of 2010 to guide us, so we will take our cues from that to continue this hallowed FT-AA|A tradition. (FT Rules still apply.)
What's FT if not a place to complain about the small stuff? After all, we've seen threads in which people have complained about virtually everything, from the ceiling height at JAX to the font, ink and paper used to print boarding passes. So I thought I'd start what I hope will become the one of the most valuable and important threads in the history of FT, one in which we consolidate all of our complaints about stuff that just doesn't matter and that validates AA's decision not to have an official presence on this board.
I'll go first: I find it really annoying the way the napkins are fanned before being put out at the Admirals Clubs. Is this supposed to make us feel like the place is uber-fancy? Why don't they just forget about the fanning and put out some real napkins instead of the flimsy cocktail napkins they use?

I missed it dearly and had to unearth it. I think we all could use a good laugh over stupid/least substantive complaints once again. It's part of the return to normal.

Asked for white wine to go with my cheese platter. Received red instead.
SAN - CLT 5/9/21. A321
I think she was trying to tell me something.
The gentleman next to was enjoying red wine.
Turned out to match well with the selection.

I really don't like this AHA drink. I don't like fake watermelon flavors. Dasani Lime was perfect, why did they replace it and ruin my life?

No straws to save the ocean (when biodegradable options exist) served in two single use plastic cups in a tube full of people donating carbon to the atmosphere.
