I despise the TSA and their DYKWIA attitudes. There is one particular screamer at Newark whom I once told not to yell at an elderly woman because it was Mother's Day, to which he replied, "oh, I never yell at mothers". Yeah, okay.

I hate being told what to do anyway, especially when I already know what to do. I guess my main problem with the TSA is that the whole circus-and-pony show is completely worthless anyway. Like anyone's ever said, "Hey, you need a job done right? Get government employees!"

I forget which airport, but I was in a bathroom stall and looked up at the nicely polished stainless steel ceilng some 20 feet up. Oh, geez, hi neighbor! :eek:

Some people changing socks in the waiting area instead of the bathroom. One traveler must have been connecting after a 20 hour flight because his feet smelled really bad even from a distance. At least four of us got up separately and moved away. Maybe that was his reasoning for taking so long doing it.

Hearing the same brag story yelled out every five minutes. "Oh, yeah, this is my fifth time to the Bahamas."

In the same category: standing in the arrivals area waiting for the shuttle bus at IAH and hearing "This is the final boarding call for Flight ###". It doesn't get much more irrelevant.

Also, being told ad-nauseum to keep my boarding pass in my possession to walk through the metal detector, and then being told at CMH "I told you that you didn't need that anymore". Sorry, I tuned you out so long ago.....

BIG 2nd on this one. No one cares. Those who brag the loudest have/do the least.

Technically, this is not her space - the space belongs to the recline arc of the reclining seat. Else they would not recline. :p

Errr....I meant to say "recline into her face" :D

Worse... the lounge has a TV with channels to choose from. What do the idiots do? Turn it to CNN and let it blast like friggin teenagers watching TV! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I call it "Exagerated sense of self-importance".

[QUOTE=fedup flyer;9961917]I am surprised no one has mentioned:

Kids that run around the gate area like its romper room. They one that yell and scream at the top of their lungs and sometimes its encouraged by the parents.

I've seen this on several occasions--the parents always claim they are letting the little brats "tire themselves out so WE can get some rest on the plane". Absolutely no respect for others in the gate area who may be trying to work.

Especially McDonalds. YUCK

The correct response that random guy should be giving his co-workers to that question is simply, "Why yes, yes I am! Have a nice flight!" :D

Oh, and for some reason the McDonalds in LAX smells worse that ANY McDonalds I have ever come across. Like old fried fish filet and old cooking grease. Gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking of it. You can smell it immediately when you open any aircraft door.
