In the Betty White article in the June Hemispheres, one of the photos is said to be of her on "Password." It isn't -- it's her appearing on "Liar's Club."
Should I ask for compensation due to the trauma of having to see that incorrect game show identification?

The gate monitors don't seem to be properly programmed to deal with the new "Refreshments" concept -- they list meal service as "BR," "LR," etc., rather than spelling out the words. (Particularly confusing with "BR," which could be seen as an abbreviation for "breakfast," rather than the actual "breakfast, refreshments.")

On Monday, my tablecloth was one inch too narrow to cover the table in C. (I think they may have used a napkin as a tablecloth.)

Love this thread. The 1 inch gap between the jet-way bridge and the outer shell of the plane during boarding and arrival. I once dropped a single car key (not on a chain) and watched it bounce a few times and perfectly fall through the crack down 2 stories to the ground in SFO. The nice gate crew ran down and got it for me within 1 minute. The whole event was traumatic and I can play it in slo-mo in my head over and over.

When the little tub of salad dressing spits some out when you try to peel back the cover. Of course I've learned to point it away from me while sloooowly peeling, but it spits anyway, just for spite!

After having yoghurt squirt all over me on a flight, I now pierce the top of anything I'm going to peel open with a fork before opening it. And even then I always open it away from me.

ok, gotta call it out.... when the tablecloth has a buttonhole, and the napkin doesn't it drives me nuts!! non-substantive? maybe.. but i've seen it a few times, and it'd be so easy to fix........... (and yet, this thread seems the only place to mention it...)

It bugs me when the purser shuts off the safety video before those last few measures of Rhapsody in Blue finish! Rhapsody is a corporate signature that should be a point of pride.

The flight attendants don't look more like ANA's
