What surprises me is the number of frequent fliers at LHR T5 in the "fast track" (warning - description may not live up to the reality) security queue who DON'T do this and get to the front of the queue acting surprised that they need to get their liquids/laptop out, belt off, coat off, shoes (maybe) off - maybe they are infrequent fliers but flying in premium cabins......

... your wife's left you; your children hate you - and the only thing that still makes you feel warm and fuzzy is the regular virtual interaction on FT with other members of your BAEC 'family'!

When every trip with your spouse almost ends in divorce because you go into autopilot and start heading to the lounge at Mach 2.2 without offering her a chance to browse the shops.

In my case it's when you get a taxi to the station and accidentally say 'airport please' and only realise your mistake when you're half way there!

I got smiled at the other day by a Lounge dragon saying to me "you don't normally travel out of this terminal, off somewhere nice .. " and I hadn't even cleared security at that point !!

Another good thread Yahilwe
1. When you sit through the safety video / demonstration on board and recite the words in your head, just to prove you know it off by heart....
2. When you hear the "cabin crew please take your seats for landing", wait for the exact number of milliseconds, before announcing (at a whisper) - "Boing" (as oin the sound, not the mispelling of a Seattle company)
3. When you think you can do the cabin crew's job better than they can - i.e. you really should be doing this at this precise monent, or you've forogtten to do that. Oh, ok, perhaps that's on MF flights only?
