Sorry, it was me...

Apparently I've become the idiot in the lounge that I've always despised. I started my phone conversation at an acceptable level in the Senator lounge in Frankfurt, but it quickly became "antisocial" due to a combination of iPhone headphones and three Paulaner Hefeweizen.

The lounge manager moved me on discretely to one of the phone booths that I shall now use forever and on.

If I p!ssed you off, I'm very sorry...

I'm sure they will forgive you, but I had a very nice experience a drunk passenger in F class on Monday 3 Oct on board LH 404, that punched me in the stomach.....

Well at least the lounge manager did something to shut you up. I wish it would happen more often.

I was really glad she did. I was so embarrassed when she told me and couldn't believe I had been talking so loud.

Wait a minute. How can we morph this story into " How I was abused by the female lounge attendant who punched me in the stomach when I was talking- not loudly- on my cell phone"?

And use it as an example of the decline in LH's customer service! :-)

and add something like "What compensation do you all think is adequate?"

I'd like to understand the pacing. So far it's an (anti)social phenomenon.

Could it be simply the manifestation of a democratic and generous spirit, concerned that anyone should feel left out of dramas of the one-sided conversation?

Last July I had all the stereotypes at once in the MUC FCL:

- the italian sharing the joy of his conversation (loud speaking and classic gesturing) with all he could cover
- an american in shorts and tevas with a joyful look maximising everything he could
- a few annoyed suited HONs (flying domestic) making sure everyone knew they were annoyed how down hill the FCL had gone

Loud shoemaker in FRA FCT

At around 9am on 5 October 2011, in FRA FCT, everyone in the area to the rear of the elevators got hear of an important (according to him) shoe manufacturer conducting business over multiple mobile phones. Then he stretches out on the sofa (sleeping chairs are about 5 meters away!)

He was flying MUC-ZRH-GRU because I had the pleasure of meeting of meeting him in the ZRH FCL and everybody in the lounge got to know that he was flying to Sao Paulo.

With no disrespect, where ever in the world you are, if there is an italian, you will get to know it.
