drinks service in C
I always feel that the time between the first drink service in business class, after takeoff, and the top up that follows (just before the meal service begins) is a bit rushed. I mean unless you are a die hard alcoholic (which I am borderline) who can down an entire glass of champagne in 3 minutes, i just sort of feel it is almost pushy "Here have your drink and have some more". Especially when you are on a flight of 9 or more hours, what is the rush. Anyway, it's a small thing but it bugs me.

Too much jewelry on the flight attendants. I swear I was woken up every five minutes the other day HKG-SFO as they roamed the aisles with their big water bottles with the racket their many bracelets were making clanking together. It was like trying to sleep in the middle of a construction zone. For this I paid $200 r/t and used a SWU to upgrade?? :D

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. :p
My complaint...not enough bad wine in DOM F. |

Obviously, you don't leave the butter under there for 10 minutes! About 30 seconds is good, maybe 1 minute. I'm sure I can come up with an equation that describes how long is required if you really need me too.

Why is my crossword puzzle already done?

Oh, I loved that stuff, wasn't it called Fiesta Snack mix or something like that? I miss that...

Remember those great little matted glass salt and pepper shakers? How I do miss them! They elevated the whole meal into the "tolerable" range.

Second law works fine in this case, too. Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer body to a colder body. The second law states that heat cannot be completely transferred into work. And, heating butter with a hot dish increases entropy of the system, as well, with increased kinetic energy of the butter molecules. The first law simply states that the U = q + w, that total internal energy equals heat plus work, and that the energy of the universe is conserved.

Least Substantive?
Flying in General?: ...Those little ice-crystal snowflake-looking shapes that form on the windows at cruise altitude..... :mad:

When I was younger (I was still 6'2") some guy was complaining about how I got an exit row and that I'm too young for it and he should have it instead. He claimed he was more deserving of the better seat.:rolleyes:

Mid flight snack in C invariably looks like something that could be purchased for $1.99 (or less) at a store on the ground. Ramen in styrofoam, sandwiches in saran wrap, etc.
The mid-flight snack on AC in Y YVR-HKG looks better than the ones in C on UA. |
Since this is in the UA forum, shouldn't this thread be "What's the Stupidest, Least Substantive Thing You Can Complain About And Get Compensation For?"

Despite my repeated requests, UA still hasn't outfitted the 757-200 fleet with holodecks.

When the industrial diswashers magnetize the silverware! I hate it when the handles stick together and the knife comes up dangling off the fork! Either that, or the knife handle moves three centimeters to the right while I'm picking up my spoon and I have to spend precious, precious calories retrieving it from its elaborate utensil mating ritual!
