I get huge mixed packs (lengths, thickness, colour) at Dollar Tree in the US. Similar outlets exist.

this is brilliant 👍
I remember reading once on here, about a female kicking off on someone as they were ahead of them at check in or sonewere , and they’d asked what row are you in and the op said 64k, and because they were in row 50 for arguments sake , that they should check in before him 😂
it was a great dykwia story and would love to read it again

I was flying First into Heathrow. Myself and first class passengers were made to wait while some old lady was allowed to leave the plane first and go into a waiting car.

"Nice touch for @BritishAirways to leave everyone in first class waiting for steps while some old lady's car picks her up at the aircraft. Proper going to avoid flying BA for a while!"
Did the old lady have an umbrella a la Mary Poppins - there were no steps!

It's unusual to make you wait - they just meet them at the bottom of the steps.
These are the guilty party if you want to complain!

Been on a flight twice with said lady. Both times she was traveling with her PA, eating some nut mix. Picked up both the times whilst we waited.
Not much of a delay really at all for the rest of us and probably best all round she that she uses a car to pick her up, rather than go through the 'normal' channels.
