“Do You Know Who I Am?”: The Definitive Thread of DYKWIA Stories
 

I wasn't gonna, but then he did the unthinkable in my book......

From my flight SFO - SLC,,,,

Dear Mr. 1A,

i know that you believe that you are very important. Your many travels to Asia and Europe sure are impressive, but I am not convinced that you really fly all that much. Well if you do, you are probably a self loving DYKWIA type that thinks that they are above the rules and everyone else on the flight....

At the gate you first planted yourself on that SP carpet like.you owned it. Shortly after, the gate lice swarmed. Funny thing is... The arriving flight had not landed. When it looked like the outbound would be a little late, you swarmed the GA, despite her saying that it would be a quick turnaround.

Upon boarding you came from out of nowhere and quickly in habited your seat(no problem here).... But then despite being told to turn off electrical devices, your pants buzzed wildly during taxi-prior to take off....

Prior to landing you questioned your connection, but the FA was quick to inform you and the whole plane that they had no updates or any power over connections. Why didn't you just check it out on your laptop, which you insisted on using well past the announcement telling you to cease doing so.... You weren't the only one.

Upon landing, you had unbuckled your seat belt and scooched out of your seat well before the infamous ding..... All wss, but i do tend to have a huge issue when the door opens and you ran over the two GA's meeting the flight.... Very rude and unclassy.....

Hope you made your connection and that no other innocent GA's were taken out in the process.



Ps, to Mr. 2D,

Please pull up your pants before bending over in the aisle or stretching into the overhead bin. CRACK KILLS....

Paging Avidflyer

Sitting in the SLC SC and just got a few odd looks at my sudden burst of laughter. Thanks!!!

But how could you possibly see this pax? Surely, as a mere Diamond Medallion, you were in lowly Business Elite/First, while someone as important as he, was CERTAINLY in Super Duper Uber Ultra Luxury Titanium Premier Class! :)

About the crack thing . . . I always find it funny to see amongst the mostly suit & tie types up front (not me!), the occasional flannel shirt type road warrior traveling with tools n stuff that fits the image you portray!! Ha!! LUVIT!! :)

Can a mod please put a space in my title... It is furiating me:). Silly iphone...

This is why the DL forum is the best out there, even if skymiles is not the best in class..

Thank you for the laugh! I needed it!!!^

Boy, that's an ugly image ! :cool:

I believe that the more polite term is "trouser cleavage."

Done.

Now you can brag to others that a moderator spaced out in your crack thread...

I am determined to use the Crack kills line at some point toda. Thanks for the early morning laugh.

LOL... Thanks!

I say butt cleavage; I hope FT allows this word.

A very quick search of the Delta forum alone returns 495 posts with the word "butt". Of course, we frequently use the term - BIS / butt in seat! But there are many other amusing uses, if you take a look! :)

I also frequently wonder where the line in the sand is for word usage.

Edited to add, for anyone who's interested . . . A general FT search for "butt cleavage" has turned up a few threads!! :)

Regardless of what we call it, it was a crescent moon in the middle of the afternoon....

How do I get this Super Duper Ultra Luxury Titanium Premier status? Do I need the right credit card? maybe eat out alot? I don't really fly much but I should get this status because DYK...IA

You have to truly believe that your crap doesn't stink and you have to be completely in to you and only you. And then your imaginary friend will send you an invitation and membership card....

I peered through the curtain once...it wasn't pretty.:)

This is a new class for those who are too good to sit with the DWKWIA crowd. It's for the new DYKWTFIA crowd, as mentioned above!! :p

thanks for helping me laugh this morning.

somehow, i guess i have always falsely believed that people who are saavy enough to find themselves up front can also figure out how to use a belt. or, better yet, purchase clothing in the correct size.

particularly women.although most of the time i see men flying up front, i cringe when a woman is wearing ill-fitting garb. we should KNOW BETTER ladies!

What is the proper protocol of getting out/ up the ramp when the person in front you is weaving or rather large? Years ago I had to crawl up the ramp coming off of a CRJ and had to go rather bad ,since we circled & taxied forever. I debated do I throw the elbow, hop up and down ( my kids say it helps) ,walk real slow. But by the time I figured it out I saw the restroom.

The plane will soon be divided into 4 sections. Up front will be the DYK...IA group. Next will be the DYKWIA crowd, followed by NCWYA (Nobody cares who you are) and finally, stuck in the back is the WDC...YA section (We don't care who the #$*! you are... this section is reserved for silver medallions :) ).

Classic! :)

but was it waxing or waning?

It might have needed waxing! ;)

I never knew that astronomy could be so much fun!!! :D

While I see where you are going with this.. We all have been stuck behind the lady/man with the cane, that should have waited for the wheelchair to pick them up... or the family with kids that can't seem to keep going forward... or just the out of shape ones that can't handle a slight incline.... These situations require judgement and some quick maneuvering....

BUT, in this case, it was two GA's whom 1A decided to CRASH through in an effort to make a connection.. A simple "Excuse Me" may have been an order, but that is not the road the guy took.. It was more of a push/shove his way through technique....

UH, definately needed waxing, amongst other things.....

While this thread is considered funny by some, I fail to see how it is Delta specific. Why is this thread still alive?

It had been dead for about 14 hours until you revived it.

And now we know who Mr. 1A is. Or perhaps 2D? ;)

Push them, turn around once ahead of them, scowl, and continue on your way.

Because Super Duper Ultra Luxury Titanium Premier status is only found on Delta!

I have heard that this existed on UA, but cannot confirm...

Wow. Such excellent background research and analysis used to "conclude" that I am Mr. 1A or 2D. You must work for the government!

If he admitted that to you, he'd have to.....[never mind]...

I read these threads with some amusement. There's some people who are offended by things that wouldn't offend me, and others who may even be offended by what I do (I've been known to, horror, put sock-clad feet on a bulkhead; though it seems it may be OK to some people, because I usually keep them below seat level).

Anyway, here's a behavior I found pretty irritating, and I think most people agree: If you're sharing an armrest with someone, maybe you ought to keep your crap on your own side.

Sitting next to Mr. 1C today, who, for whatever reason, needed to have at his disposal at all times, his iPhone, his blackberry, his iPad, and his laptop (ok, not the laptop). Every time I lifted my arm from the armrest, another portable device, power adapter, or assorted gizmo would end up where my elbow wants to be.

I mean -- as much as people can b**tch about the horrors of a 22" wide seat, the armrests are a good 6 inches wide -- can't you please at least pretend like you're trying to keep your stuff on your own side?

The most annoying thing is people putting up their feet on my armrest in First Class. It drives me crazy to have their dirty shoes rubbing on my elbow.

I have pointed it out to many a F/C passenger who ended up starting off with the "DYWHIA" routine and questioning the legitimacy of my birth, my background etc. Did not bother me a bit as long as their dirty shoes were off "my" armrest.

At least it was only dirty shoes... It could have been a urine enriched sock since 2D walked to the lav in his socks.....:D:D:D

Shudder to think about that :eek: Will watch out for that. :)

Indirectly related to this, but kind of similar concept . . .

Does it bother anyone that we put all of our "stuff", jackets, wallets, phones, coins, laptops, etc, into a bin to go thru x-ray, and millions of shoes have also touched the bottoms of those bins - - and we all know - especially men, I think - some of the places our shoes have touched!

I'm hoping that this train of thought doesn't cause this thread to be closed. I'm not a germ freak, but it's just something I think about occasionally. Your thoughts?

I am not a germ freak BUT, your comment goes as to why I always wear closed toe shoes, long pants, and long sleeved shirts. Except for my laptop, my "stuff" goes into my laptop bag and not one of those nasty bins.

IMHO my sock clad feet are much cleaner than my shoe clad feet for just that reason. And I always put my shoes on when leaving my seat.

And yes this is a Delta specific post because I only fly on delta.
