This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

Humans.

I like the term for these types of establishments "Breastaurants". I think they used to have the same or similar standard for stewardesses, now known as "flight attendants".

At the risk of appearing callous and insensitive, at least airlines have an economic justification for favouring "wispier" flight attendants. We've all seen stories of how one airline or another has eliminated 1 olive from every garden salad, or switching to plastic cutlery over metal, saving 14 pounds per flight or whatever. Multiplied by the miles flown and the cost of Jet A, it works out to $x00,000 saved per year. The same logic, of course, would apply to your employees. You're flying them all over the place, spending fuel to do so. Economically, it makes sense to employ the lightest staff required to get the job done.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if a budget airline began hiring anorexic 7-year olds as flight attendants in an absurd bid to cut weight.

anything the airlines or the Feds can do to make air travel more miserable, they will do it

next up: knock the passengers out and stack them in the cabin like cords of wood

Ryan-Air had stand-up "seats" already back in 2009.

Well, I should have said except for humans.

The answer is a polar bear.

Ready to go kick some human a$$.

Did they? I know they (and other airlines) were talking about it, and consulting with the regulatory authorities to see if the idea was legal, but I can't find any reference indicating they've actually followed-through on the idea. Have you ever actually seen any in action on any regular commercial flights? Can you reference a cite that shows they're actually in use anywhere currently?

From a Daily Mail article in September, 2014:

The idea of the 'standing cabin' made headlines in 2010 when Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary suggested that the airline would be introducing it, but spokespeople for the airline have since rejected the idea

I took a RyanAir flight from Tampere to Bergamo around the end of March, 2009 and the plane had stand-up seats for the flight attendants. I mean, really stand up and buckle on the harness, with a little thing that goes between your legs.

Passengers had normal seats.

I ordered a gin tonic and they brought the gin to me in a pouch!

I think this is what RyanAir had in mind. Due to safety concerns the design is a no-go with the U.S. FAA for passengers; no idea if European aviation regulators would sign off on it either.

RyanAir is also dabbling with some "saddle" type designs.

One big problem regulators have with these novel seating designs is that small children cannot be safely secured in them.

Looks like a new roller coaster idea

And when you get hurt they can detach the seat and use it for a stretcher to carry you out.

 

[Schmoogdaddy]

Not knowing the difference between there, their and they're or your and you're.
But what really bothers me is "u" and "ur" in a text.

 

[slym2none]

I actually saw this earlier... no "would" or "could" in sight, and some Adam Henry used "of" when they meant "have".

I fear for this world sometimes...

 

[soccerdad]

If u lived down here u 'might could' fear for many things.

 

[slym2none]

Maybe, but I'll never of such bad grammar & English.

See???

More of an anoyance I guess it ranks up there with reeking of perfume or cologne

You need to stop going to dinner at 3 in the afternoon. By 7 all the old people are asleep.

Speaking of, we've covered a good way to make that happen.

Dude where are you eating at? I laughed at this post thinking how unlucky you are because this must have happened more than once. The odds of being struck by ben gay lightning twice have to be slim.

people, especially older women in their 50's-60's that wear so much perfume you can taste it in your mouth when they walk past/sit near you on the bus.
