Since when did this become the ‘Why does BA not give me socks’-thread...?

Snap.

Seasoned FT members will know that the "Socks on a plane" (and also "killer flip-flops") debate is a (depressingly) recurrent feature of the forum, so I would suggest we park that sub-debate now and return to DYKWIA behaviour.

Just boarded and the passenger behind starts complaining to crew about the seat cushion being very uncomfortable (its a Recaro seat so not even a neo deckchair!!!) Said passenger starts making a scene to the crew who then offer one of the many vacant seats further back as boarding is now complete. After going up and down the aisle of this lightly loaded A319, the pax starts kicking off with the CSM as there’s no completely free row and the pax doesn’t want to sit next to anyone. The pax then asks if they can sit “up there” to which the crew politely decline. The pax is now back in their original seat and I’ve yet to hear any shrieks of discomfort!

I’ve just been DYKWIAmed at Alicante. Three queues of pax waiting for check in to commence. First row becomes priority/Club Europe and some pax move over to our queue. Lady in front of us checks in and then it’s our turn. At this point a couple in the next row (which doesn’t have an open check in desk) strides forward. I say “excuse me” and get the response “We’re priority”. I say “As are we!”

There’s a discussion with the check in person and then we are asked to step forward. Little bit of grumbling ensues as we are checked in about which desks are which and why wasn’t the next desk open?

Passed through security and am in the lounge. The priority couple are not so I assume they’re behind the curtain for the flight. I’m just chuffed that I have a genuine DYKWIA to add to the collection but I’m surprised the behaviour of barging hasn’t disappeared with social distancing.

The behaviour of people generally, since the last major lockdown period, has been dreadful. I don't want to even imagine what it's like in the confined space of planes at the moment.
Maybe it's not as bad as I think, but down here on the ground the gloves come off very quickly for almost nothing. There are just so many clever people who are all so right about everything.

To get this thread back on topic, here’s a benign DYKWIA from today’s CFU-LHR

The incursion was to have a face mask emblazoned with “Only Here for the Tier Points” - which I actually found mildly funny.

Some rolled eyes were exchanged but that was maybe due to his exclamation of “oh a lovely new neo!!” on boarding. I am yet to feel the love for the enhanced-away CE middle table.

Anyhow his face mask was far better than the Club World EYE MASK (I kid you not) used as a face mask by a pax on our outbound.

That's got to be somebody off here

Don’t know about that but the person that designed it and quite a few other aviation designs is 😉

They were for sale on the TLFL website I believe.

What an amateur, had he not been tracking the outbound from the moment it left LHR?

BoeBus

😂 exactly. Having see the registration of the inbound flight I forewarned the OH that we would have no middle table which was met with a semi-serious “where the **** are we supposed to put the drinks?”

There's a certain annoying travel blogger who has a t-shirt and facemask emblazoned with a cartoon caricature of his own face, who then spends half of the time lowering his mask to speak into the camera. Also didn't self-isolate after doing a whistlestop tour of Covid hotspots the other week, that wasn't BA though so I shall refrain from commenting further!

Well it wisnae me!!
