It has to be the plastic wrappers on the crackers in the club. They 'static cling' to your fingers and are almost impossible to shake off!
After many years, and almost 2MM, last week I solved it--make sure you take them off in one piece, then the weight of the whole wrapper will allow easier separation......
Gaahh! Exactly the opposite! I always take a second cup to deposit all the unwanted pretzels in.

DEN Club Bathroom
In the UC Club bathroom sinks at DEN: you wave your hands and a splash of water comes out. So you wave your hands more to try to make it come on again, and by doing this, more soap comes out. I've actually stamped my foot in anger and cursed out the damn sink! I need to remember to tell the agents next time.
I sure hope other people have this issue.

I play the napkin game.
I turn it over to hide the obnoxious marketing message and display a classy white napkin. About 10% of the FAs will turn it back over when placing down a new drink.

My recent flight with DTVs had the screens defaulted not to the usual CNBC, but to Newsmax TV - a self-proclaimed conservative network attempting to outflank Fox News. When I boarded, the graphics were screaming about voting fraud conspiracies. 
Really, United? How is politically alienating a major proportion of your customer base just to flog this new network good for business? (And before anyone asks and we drift to OMNI-land, no, it would not be any more excusable if it was a network peddling any equally-unsubstantiated left-wing conspiracies.)

I'm rather annoyed that in the nose of the 747 they have 1A/K filled with kids high chairs and booster seats and it hurt my CPU as I was first on the list. Then when I had to go take my seat on the UD while it was nice it was actually a nice dual floor lounge the numbering conventions were way off that it took me forever to find my seat. It was such a tease that they had a bunch of sour dough breadbowls out but then I never caught site of any clam chowder. I'll say that your little personal lounge space with chaise and reading lamp that flips over like a murphy bed is a great new next gen seat design.*
