I get hacked off at the inconsistency of the lengths of the seat belts on ERJ's. I'm a bigger guy, some of them fit with plenty to spare, and some of them just barely squeak in.

I hate it when they do it. And UA is not alone. I've heard US, AA, & DL all do the same.
Another problem: often when I hear GA say "full flight," I glance at the podium computer screen to find that it is not a full flight; that there are a few seats not sold. Com'on... full means full, it doesn't mean "nearly full."

"Full flight" >90%
"Very full flight" >94%
"Completely full flight" >96%
"Very VERY Full flight" > 97%

A good entrepeneur would write a book for women entitled "How to operate a toilet seat: you *can* put it down"

I've found Commutair's Q200s to have the shortest belts. If I have winter clothing on, I have to take off my coat, which is awful if the aircraft has been sitting overnight.

Announcements SFO/NRT where the Japanese translation takes 3 times as long as the original English announcements.
Shoulder belt in F that sometimes requires 2 men and a dog to claw out of the back of the seat.

the plain hershey's milk served to be used with breakfast cereal and oatmeal.
seeing "hershey's" on a box of non-chocolate milk is a tease.

Financial Times papers stuffed into rack too tightly at LAX (former GFL) UC, really had to make an effort to not pull several newspapers out and onto the floor, especially since on bottom shelf.
