I absolutely hate all of the people who hover near the upgrade board! Who do these people think they are?!

I developed a technique to solve this. Put it under your breakfast dish (or dinner dish). The dishes are usually too hot, and the butter too cold. By the second law of thermodynamics, the heat is transferred from the dish to the butter, thus reducing the chances of burning your fingers while simultaneously making your butter spreadable.
No sparkling wine or champagne on UA
In regards to those damn snowflakes on the window....
I want to join your group. Those really make my day.^

Milestones
How about people who post random accumulations of miles and segments in the "2010 Milestones" thread rather than reading the guidelines in post 1 and posting only @ milestones? I suppose that's more UA-flyer related and not specifically UA related.

UDU - having to sit in F all the time instead of a Y exit row...

The proposed merger livery and branding. Call me obsessed, but it looks terrible and hope to the powers that be that it never sees the light of day. It's also a disturbing image of what this merger is going to be..basically CO.

taking my F seat on a 319/320 and finding that the (previously mentioned 30 minute Red Carpet man) has stowed his carry-on in the shared floor cubby between the seats, simply assuming you had no desire to use your 1/2 of the space.

The ridiculous insistence that everyone lower their shades to create a sensory-deprivation chamber, in spite of the fact that this only contributes to jetlag on long-haul flights.

I hate it when everything works on my flight and, therefore, they don't give me an e-cert.
Also, the flight between IAD and ORD is too short. I don't have enough time to listen to all the music selections on the IFE for the new C seats.
