I don't think I've ever returned something that I've bought online, its always seemed like to much hassle. I still have a pair of jeans in the wardrobe that still have the tags etc on as they were a bit too big and sending them back to the states from OZ seemed farcical for what the cost was
instore returns only if the stuff has failed or broke -
Why is boarding a plane so difficult for so many people? It amazes me and makes me mad at the same time. And the blind eye turned by both cabin and ground crew to the amount of shit people carry on. It’s „hand luggage“, yet it looks as if they’re setting off on a grand tour

@Tago-Mago "We're now boarding Group 1" ...... everyone at the gate bee-lines for the entrance
-
@Tago-Mago ...well, you must not have been away from home for more than a couple of days. What if I need "insert crap" while I'm gone for a week? Yes, this is sarcasm!

Don’t forget to immediately stand up and centipede-hump one another for 15 minutes once the plane parks.

Boarding a plane to Tokyo from London Heathrow. I was in the queue for priority boarding (I am BA Gold card holder, and may even have been travelling business class). I got tapped on the shoulder and turned around, to be told (not so) politely by a besuited American, (looked like a lawyer) that I was in the wrong queue, it was for priority passengers only. I am not sure he could read my boarding pass because I thrust it so close to his face, but I think he got the message, and I did not have to say a thing....

I love it when Karens take on the role of enforcing someone else’s policies. Especially when they’re wrong, as is typically the case.

@Tago-Mago haha, sitting back and watching the madness unfold can be entertaining. Not too mention being eye level with some strangers crotch for an extended period

@Giles I take it you weren’t wearing a gold-buttoned blazer?

My problems with flying are mostly:
-
smaller seats, fatter asses. I have a ton of sympathy for people who are genetically or otherwise large, but it’s not fair to have your fat rolls occupying my space
-
amenity drought without corresponding fare reductions. Ever more we are cattle and there’s nothing special about flying anymore
-
humanity as a whole is dispensing with basic manners. People playing videos at full volume, placing their bare feet on your armrest, farting, being Karens with the staff or other passengers, etc; it’s enough to make me borderline agoraphobic

@Matt oh yeah, greed gutting the engineering competency of one of the world’s most iconic brands is another one. No need to be worried about that on an Airbus.
