PC Behavior...lovely

So I'm sitting in one of the cubicles with the black desk at the PC in B terminal right? So get this -- there is a man next to me in his cube watching a movie and is currently in the process of clipping his finger nails and they are flying everywhere, including one my desk. F'ing redneck people out there.

The icing on the cake must be he is not wearing earphones?

I heard a gentleman belch loudly yesterday at an EWR PC, I mean we're talking across the room loud. I looked up from my cube and there were 3 other people looking out from the cubicles, all looking disgusted.

Grow a pair and confront the pig, otherwise you have nothing to complain about. And, its not rednecks that do that. Its usually the type thats flying to another conference on the employers dime, wearing a scarf, glasses down on the end of the nose, and reading a kindle on global warming

I too have noticed a marked degradation in the caliber of the guests in the PC of late. I won't say that it is because RCC and US club members have been allowed access, but the timing is suspicious.

He is. He is no longer flicking. He is engrossed in watching what appears to be Enter The Dragon on his laptop. I can see his nail clippings on the floor. I shot him a nasty look. I'm about to get up and leave to my gate. I think I'm going to leave him a little silent methane cloud upon my departure.

Yeah, so have I. Oh wait, I just joined the PC. I guess I need to go back to the old rule of not wanting to be a member of any club that would have me.

Can we keep things polite people? I'm sure that the percentage of CO elites that misbehave is similar to other airlines.

It would be nice if new club members were given a brochure explaining acceptable behavior (i.e. it's ok to take a cup of tea out of the club, but not a beer; it's ok to use the provided showers, it's not ok to groom oneself at the bar; etc.

sorry I forgot my
You clearly missed the giant thread on this forum in which it was overwhelmingly decided that Continental elites are always well behaved, and United elites are in a far lower class

Don't you wish Bruce Lee would jump out of the screen and show this dude a few moves?

Folow the pig to his plane....I'll bet as soon as he sits down, his bare feet will be half-way up the bulkhead wall.

Indeed. It is so absurd and unsupported by credible evidence... that it must be true.

OK. So we do not know that the nail clipper guy is an UA elite, nor if he is a good representative of UA elites in general. But he could be... and it seems so obvious since the vast majority of UA elites have nails on their fingers.

Nope. CO BP was sitting on his desk. I was trying to be discreetly nosy and saw his CO gold number on his BP, no UA MP number. Like a poster said before it's not the typical redneck you see doing this. This man was very well dressed and presentable. Too bad he lost it when I found his clipping next to my blackberry.

Wha huh? Rednecks don't clip their fingernails. They wear down/break off through normal redneck activity.
