That's understandable though, those regulations are different in every country and time of the day.
That's why you never accept a swap where you don't get the better seat.
are you a tsa agent lmao ? otherwise you're right people tends to shutdown their brain when they're on vacation
>are you a tsa agent lmao ?
lol yes (or european equivalent) was it that obvious? I try to be courteous and understanding. people are stressed, they just flew through some other airport in another part of the world with different rules. but I'll vent in the breakroom about stupid passengers
To be fair the rules vary by country and airport too. The laptops and liquids out is standard but when it comes to other electronics and powerbanks for example you never know what you will get. Some airports want you to take out all electronics like cameras. Some want to see your powerbank. I travel all over Europe frequently and still occasionally get the "you have to take this out!" speech by an agent.
its not even that standardized. for instance domestic fights in New Zealand have literally no security.
Makes sense, what's a terrorist going to do, crash it into a volcano in Antarctica?
They could reenact 9/11 with the teeth of their PM standing in as WTC.
>they just flew through some other airport in another part of the world with different rules.
wait, if you are transferring in the EU, you have to go through security AGAIN?
If you transfer in any country, you have to go through their security, even when you have already gone through security originally yourself.
"just flew through" might be several hours ago, or few days ago.
most larger airports in europe are part of the One stop security scheme, so you don't need to go through security again unless you leave the terminal
I am flying from Serbia with a 1hr transfer in Paris. Should all be t2..do you think ill have to go thru security?
If you're coming from outside Schengen then yes you need to go through security in Paris. I hope your flights are on the same ticket, otherwise that 1h transit is going to hurt.
I hate you all. Your security theater bullshit has become too much. The last time I went to Germany I was basically groped because the motherfricking millimeter wave scanner picked up a handkerchief I forgot in my back pocket.
Then the guy had the audacity of scolding me for not taking it out.
I'm gonna touch your penis and there is nothing you can do about it.
I know, that's exactly why i'm so fricking angry.
You can grip it too if you'd like bb 😉

I made a post about this once here and people told me its actually not really dangerous anymore.
It really isn't dangerous, Hell, the pilots themselves almost all have iPads loaded with an electronic flightbag called foreflight these days.
t. private pilot
It was NEVER dangerous. If a cell phone could take down a plane they would have been dropping from the sky like flies for the past 20 years because of all the people accidentally or intentionally not turning off their phones. The amount of power and the frequencies used by cell phones do not interfere with airplane instruments in any meaningful way. I defy you to show me one crash caused by a cell phone anywhere in the world. If someone brings a giant ham radio or something on the plane maybe we can talk.
Just imagine the possibilities for terror if phones could actually interfere with airplane systems.
No need to smuggle weapons aboard and fight crew and people to hijack a plane, just have your phone download some files to crash the plane!
That's the reality on a scarebus
That's the ones made by Boeing, right?
They tell them to turn it off because there is really no reason not to tone down any possible unneeded noise in the airwaves. It's impossible for them to test every device out there so it's easier to blanket statement things that for sure have radios in them.
I get there is virtually no noise out there that would overlap but it's easier from a security perspective to make this a rule
No, it's literally a legacy rule from when these things would matter. Nowadays they just don't. The only airlines I see still enforcing this (rather than just implementing), are developing countries ones, because they need to pander that they are security conscious.
It's a legacy rule that has no benefit to roll back due to lack of testing every mobile device and whatever radio shit's on it.
>The only airlines I see still enforcing this (rather than just implementing), are developing countries ones, because they need to pander that they are security conscious.
No it's because there is no benefit to roll the rule back when you have a bunch of chinese phones with who knows what going off on their budget devices and it's a catch all for not having to test them IF something there is wonky.
A real legacy rule with no benefit would be like the ban for geiger counter on aircraft.
It's moronic shit left over from when people brought transistor radios on the plane, and the local oscillator in the radio *might* interfere with VHF coms or the nav crap like beacons, ILS or glideslope. It's a legal catch-all to just tell people to turn everything electronic off.

I flew through Helsinki last week. They have new scanners and you don't need to take out laptops or liquids anymore. They're slowly being rolled out around the world.

also, im fairly certain that the mini bin is also marked "reserved" for the FC bulkhead seats.
>Board the plane even though not military
literally didnt happen. unless you stole the uniform and are wearing said uniform.
>implying there are no active servicemen in civilian clothes
It's cheaper to give away free priority boarding to anybody who claims to be on duty than to risk a shitstorm by asking for documents.
doesn't apply to and never has applied to active service members in civies.
active duty gay here, fly home in civies everytime. feels good to be first, but i would much rather to get off the plane first. all that matters is you look like you're in the military. i.e. shaven face, not fat, stand up straight
>t. active duty gay who doesn't even know you can use your dod # for tsa precheck
>shitstorm by asking for documents.
The frick are you on about? Military have zero rights. If they make a scene because someone asked for their ID they face NJP when they get back to base if the airline reported it. There are also no "documents." They would just show their CAC and be on their way. stop larping.
Yeah, but don't forget the average customers who likes to thank people for their service.
A shaky phone video of an agent of airline X "mistreating our heroes" is much costlier than just letting people getting away with something that doesn't cost anything.
You clearly haven't worked in the service industy before.
The average wagie doesn't give a frick if a customer is entitled to a specific discount if he doesn't get punished for it.
>literally didnt happen. unless you stole the uniform and are wearing said uniform.
You're fricking moronic. I'm in the Guard (not active duty) and I board every single flight when they call active military to board and I'm never wearing my uniform and sometimes have a 3+ month beard so I don't look military in the slightest. I've only ever been asked to see my military ID once out of probably 20 flights so stop fricking seething at that guy's post when you obviously don't have a clue.
you know military personnel have special military IDs, right?
they're not literally wearing camo on a fricking flight, not to mention it can be illegal to wear camo in some countries and in security sensitive places like airports etc
>FFS, we're all in first class anyway, why be a dickhead?

Correct. Their purchase of AirTran a few years back brought them all of those routes/gates in to their repertoire.
Some airlines and locations enforce boarding groups. You see the mass of plebs trying to board using automated gates only for the gate to beep at them and say wrong boarding group. After some confusion and multiple people complaining it doesn't work staff yells out "now boarding group 1 only". That's when I walk past the plebs and board.
>all 160 passengers line up at the ticket booth regardless of group or number.
I love up early because I don't want the luggage space full and have to store my hand luggage at the back of the plane
i do this by accident cuz leg space on flights is so bad now that my legs are already jamming into someone's kidneys before they even tilt their chair back
I used to wait for my group but noticed many times how they will let through other groups just the same, so you end up getting in dead last without any luggage space. Frick that.
If everyone apes in, I will too. The crowd is king.

At this point, since they are so dense and entitled, i usually just try to frick with them and make em believe they can do it, only to find my knees blocking the reclining mechanism again.
If they get sneaky (e.g try to recline the seat when im going to the toilet) i just impale my knees in their back out of sheer spite for the rest of the flight, making sure i squirm sometimes for maximum discomfort.
Us tall people really should get free emergency seats. This shit is discriminatory.
if you want more room pay for it

not my fault you're a miserable cheapskate

>emergency seat extra fees
If anything, emergency seats should cost less, not extra. Also, there should be a strict legally-binding clause to discourage irresponsible people from sitting in those seats.
I assume you are responsible enough to assist during an emergency. I doubt some chink tourist or an entitled middle-aged woman has the same capabilities.
>I doubt some chink tourist or an entitled middle-aged woman has the same capabilities.
In my experience they make sure to place people that can speak local language/English when assigning those seats, probably hand-picking people.
One thing that has always worked for me…
As soon as we hit cruising altitude, I lower my tray, put my laptop on it so that it’s braced up against the seat. I tap them on the shoulder, point to the laptop and politely say “Hey, no problem at all if you want to recline, but just let me know so I can move my laptop first.”
Nobody has EVER reclined after that. They probably are more aware of the inconvenience, or they just don’t want to bother me with having to move my laptop.
(Obviously don’t keep your laptop braced up against the seat, if they DO recline it will snap the screen. Move it right after you ask them).
>As soon as we hit cruising altitude
The worst cases are when they recline while the plane is still accelerating. This gives the recliner extra force.

>Get yourselves a decent pair of noise cancelling headphones Bose or Sony
First off, they only work against random noise or rumbling sounds, they do little against talking, music, or children crying.
Second, the Snoy headphones I have shut down if they're not plugged-in or connected via BT, which is annoying.
The Sony's are garbage, get Bose, they actually work.

Based. Me too. I don't sleep on those flights. Plus feels better when you can see the ground as you take off and land.
I was on a redeye 787, they dont let passengers actuate controls until departure local time is past 0900
That depends on the airline. AA used to do that, but I've heard they stopped with their 787s.
I noticed trans pacific planes now have blue window tinting that keeps things dark even if some idiot wants to keep it open, it's pretty neat I don't know when they started doing that but it really helps adjusting with time lag
Some mask wearing gay on my flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam had his window open the entire flight and he was asleep.
Really depends on the plane and airline.

Don't forget the big lip who watches and listens to his Instagram with no headphones until he's forced to put it on airplane mode right before take off

That's genious. Do you walk right to the back of the plane searching for an aisle even if you end up having to walk to your allocated seat that is sometimes up the front?
If he's flying Southwest, then it's open seating
this is a horrible plan. what airport and airline graces you with this much room? Also, have you flown in the last 3 years or are you romanticising about the last flight you took 10 years ago, non-traveller?
i fly in europe, and coincidentally ryanair 6 times this year. Being a euro has its advantages muttbro
Ryanair takes everyone in in last 10 minutes anyway.
Is this an american thing? I've flowna lot and planes generally have lots of room. I was on a plane once and there was only 6 passengers including me. Ironically those most packed planes I've been on were during coronavirus.

You get a special skill when you become a Dad, you'll quickly both learn how to tune out a crying baby, and to not give a shit or be embarrassed when you're out in public.
Naturally, check if they're hungry, need a diaper change, and feel their forehead, but if body functions are good, they'll cool it with the crying on their own.
It is a skill that women do not gain, unfortunately for my wife.
Frick you, butthole. I hope the next plane you and your child are on, you have a premonition of your death and get off the plane, only for it to explode shortly after takeoff. You and your hellspawn survive, but now a series of freak accidents and Rube-Goldberg type sequences hunt you and your child down for several weeks until you get your anus sucked out of your body in a horrible swimming pool filter accident, and your kid gets decapitated in an elevator.
If I ever had a kid, you know what I would do? I'd say, hey, stop crying or we're getting off the plane, off the subway, out of the restaurant, leaving Disneyland, wherever the frick we are, and walking home. And then when they don't stop we walk home and I apologize to everyone for their behavior. Once the kid knows crying equals vacation canceled, they'll get their shit together.
how do you stop baby from crying due to pressure changes?
food&drink
a shot of vodka
hold its head under water
Put it in the overhead bin
Believe it or not, that shit happens.
A girl I'm fricking used to work as a flight attendant. They were doing a Marseille - Tanger and apparently there was a baby in the flight, but they couldn't see it anywhere (in those cases they need to give the family that special belt and shit).
They were losing their minds because they needed to start to take off procedure and the baby was nowhere, when suddenly a Moroccan woman stands up, opens the overhead bin... And surprise, there was the baby.
And another time a woman put her baby in its baby basket underneath the front seat. They could've smashed the baby's head with the drinks/food trolley.
How the frick do people fit such big things under the front seat? You hear of people putting pets and carry on bags there as well.
I put my tiny 15L backpack there and I am already getting desperate because there is nowhere to put my legs in, and I am only 175cm. Do people not have legs or something?
don't bring the fricking baby on a plane in the first place
>If I ever had a kid, you know what I would do? I'd say, hey, stop crying or we're getting off the plane, off the subway, out of the restaurant, leaving Disneyland, wherever the frick we are, and walking home.
Ah, yes. Infants understand language, naturally.
They do, do you think you are talking to a fricking dog or something? Hell, even dogs understand emotions and body language to some point, and if they don't, something as simple as shouting or lightly smacking them gets the message across.
This cope for your bad parenting and treating children like they're plants that need diapers is why they can't fricking behave.
Don't care.
I can tune my kid out when he's crying, it doesn't bother me. As a parent, seeing other parents get more and more stressed and cause more of a scene than just a crying baby just makes me sympathetic. It causes more of a scene than the original issue.
You'll learn.

I actually always do this. (I always book an aisle seat so I can stretch my legs out and use the bathroom easier).
I just like to stand up after sitting for so long. I also like to call a friend and have a loud conversation, using my bluetooth headphones, about how horrible the flight was and how my lingering COVID infection seems to be getting better.
I wouldn't mind aisle seats so much if every fat walking down the aisle didn't make it a point to kick my foot or touch my shoulder with their blubber as they go drop their guts in the shitter
Or better yet, the girl in sweatpants with an enormous overstuffed backpack who blithely hits every person in the aisle as she passes

If you can afford a proper ticket you can casually stroll to the gate once they call you out by name and pick up your luggage without waiting after being the last to leave the plane while chatting up the crew.
I fly FC domestically and usually pick row 2 or 3 so i deliberately board last. saves me the bullshit of either waiting in line because one of the first 5 people to get on the plane always frick it up and bottleneck the frick out of the plane because they forgot how to deal with their luggage. and i dont have to deal with 220 crotches and asses in my face as the rest of the passengers walk past me.

after my last flight a few weeks back, i'm firmly in the 'buy two seats if you're a lardass' camp.
i legit felt ripped off when i'm only able to use 3/4 of my own seat for the whole flight. at least it was an aisle seat on a short flight.
somehow cell phone speakers have gotten loud enough to overcome the ambient noise on airplanes. that and airplanes have gotten significantly quieter.
either way, its not a great combination.
Once hogged the lavatory to jerk off for 15 minutes 20 minutes before landing, queue was pissed when I came out
are you me?
not to jerk off but to just piss everyone off.
>go to lavatory. dont even need to use it just want to troll
>15 min goes by
> FA asks, sir? are you okay?
>YES! I CANT HELP THAT IM TAKING A STICKY SHIT! ITS GONNA BE A WHILE!
like OP said. it makes no sense why half the plane always needs to piss/shit the second the plane leaves the ground. Those are the people that say they dont need to go right before a trip and the second you pull out of the driveway
>I NEED TO GO PEE!
Are you like 16 or something? What kind of grown ass adult does something this stupid. Probably a LARP though.
I don't know how common this problem is, but I witnessed it on my last four flights.
>use the lavatory
>people have been discarding used paper towels in the wrong place
>they're not putting it in the garbage receptacle
>they're actually shoving it into the toilet seat liner dispenser
What in the low IQ bumblefrick is this shit? I seriously hope this isn't a common occurrence.
America or third world? Not like there's a difference these days.
OFc it's 3rd worlders heading to the promise land. I've seen this shit too you would think they would include something in the instructions they give every fricking time you board a plane to teach these subhumans how to behave but no
>you would think they would include something in the instructions
>There needs to be a section of the flight introduction video on how to use the shitter.
kek I'm trying to imagine how they would even do that from a production standpoint.
>"Please discard all used toilet paper in the toilet. Do not discard used toilet paper into the rubbish bin."
>show a terrible 3D animation of a person with his pants down, wiping his ass & throwing his shit-tickets into the toilet
>the toilet paper would have a brown streak to demonstrate that it is used
Gonna start doing my part and carrying a roll of these stickers around.
phukken lold this should be in every bathroom worldwide
>shit-tickets
The only thing that would make it funnier is if those stickers stay on forever because the airline staff think they are real warning signs. Anon, you gotta place these stickers as neatly as possible to make it look more convincing. If I ever see one of these in my travels, I'll take a picture and post it in SighSee.
ive never traveled to 3rd world, do the shitters really break down if you flush tp?
Depends on the country and sometimes even the city. But yes, their plumbing and/or the sewage system is unable to handle flushed TP. They either discard TP in the bin, or they use 1-ply TP that can be flushed.
I certainly use less toilet paper here because plungers are not even a thing and I shit like a fricking elephant. Where I live the plumbing is so bad that you have to fill the toilet yourself with water from the sink.
No idea. When I was in China I always flush tp in the shitter. Just looking at the bin makes me feel terrible.
Bonus point: seeing women period pads unrolled, at full display, right on top of the pile of tp smeared with shit and piss. For frick's sake.
>enter lavatory
>see sticker
>proceed to deposit the entire roll all at once into toilet.
amidoinitrite?
I could actually see that happening on a flight with lots of third-worlders on board.
This needs to have chinese language instructions or it won't work.
I agree that Chinese people are part of the problem since they have a habit of literally standing on non-squat toilets and breaking the seat off, but the sign shouldn't have any language by design because the people who can't use a toilet probably can't read in the first place.
If you had chinese text on it, non-chinese thirdies just see "ah, this sign must only apply to chinese flights", or avoid the text altogether. Illiterate or generally stupid people are confused by any sort of letters, it stresses them out and makes them feel isolated because reading causes the strange sensation of cognition that they aren't used to.
The fact that this is needed is the sad part.
they probably think the whole plane will go down if they clog he pipes
You can get your plane re-routed if you manage to disable all the toilets.
Side effect of mulatto underclasses multiplying
I think it has more to do with Turd Worlders flying than mulattos
My destination was third-world, but I had stopovers in the UK & Qatar.
I thought a little diagram on the trash bin would be good enough, but goddamn, they really don't get it.
>shitskins are worthless, more at 11
haha just trolling all the wusses that need a toilet seat liner
>not just squatting on the toilet seat so your feet touch the butt zone
NGMI
>using the lavatory unironically
miss me with that shit famalam, I would rather shit my pants
thats what the sickness bag is for in your seat pocket
Just on a flight with some 3rd world moron. They wiped their ass, didn’t flush it, put it hanging out the trash receptacle full of shit streaks.
There needs to be a section of the flight introduction video on how to use the shitter.
if you fly domestically in india, there is
unfortunately people still ignore it sometimes
>only booking 1 handluggage item

If they sat next to me, they'd be in luck, because I'm an airplane autist.
I'm fine with giving a little information from what I know but hate shit like this

Phones were banned so that people might pay attention to the saftey information
At this point I don't blame people for being confused when it comes to TSA. Every airport seems to operate differently about whether you need shoes on, whether or not each laptop and tablet needs its own tray, whether shoes need its own tray, etc.
My TSA pre check expired shortly before moving overseas so I had to use the normal line. I politely ask if my shoes needed their own tray and the miserable fricking guy working gave me so much attitude I asked if he was alright. Told me he could get me thrown off the plane if he wanted to, gave him a nice little chuckle and went about my day. FYI you can email airline's/airports and complain about this type of shit and usually they'll give you something in return.
i guess i've most recently only flown thru miami or nyc airports, but TSA is always so loud and curt with everyone compared a dozens of other countries i've been to
i guess they get all the non-english speakers at those airports maybe they are weary of their job
I don't see many of these because I only fly first class. Is this how the poors behave?
>I don't see many of these because I only fly first class. Is this how the poors behave?
There is no real difference, after flying business and first for a while it's just a different form of assholishness.

It's impressive how thoroughly asia's airports and airlines mog the rest of the world's.
I was surprised how smelly and dirty some of Europe is. America is a burgerpunk shithole but at least we clean up after ourselves

You'll have the staff telling you to remove those in no time.
the meme I hate the most is people complaining about reclining
first off, it's your chair. you paid for a reclining seat
and the seats are absurdly vertical to begin with. ALL the seats should be reclined even more, to make it even possible to fall asleep.
If you want to sleep pay for a business class ticket.
yeah let me pay $1000 to sleep
nice input r*ddit period poster
i prefer to suffer
Nah, I'll just take my 3in of recline. Don't give AF
If you dont want to be bothered by the person in front of you reclining, buy a buisness class ticket
t. Manlet
you're the one raging about airplane seats
only makes me want to recline even more
and seats without someone in front of you aren't even expensive. it's like a $20 upgrade
Just keep chanting 'grow, grow, grow.'
ok you win. you are le based for whining about airline seats like a fatass
Hello SighSee what is the name of that site where you can buy last minute flights quite cheap? Like it only has a certain number of flights on but its quite a decent price.
It doesn't really matter where but I want to get away tomorrow or saturday.
need this, any luck?
sadly no
i swear i used it about 3 or 4 years ago
Cheap-o-air
Idk why, everytime I get on a flight I need to take a giant emergency diarrhea shit. It never matters how careful I am about eating before the flight or how many times I use the restroom before the flight, the second that plane takes off Im counting down the seconds until the seatbelt sign comes off
take some pepto, bung it up
on a flight to albania i had a parents playing those youtube nursery rhymes from youtube the whole way...
is it cultural or just sociopathy to have no shame playing noise out loud in public?
low IQ is indistinguishable from sociopathy. They don't have the mental capability to imagine that being loud in public would affect other people, and can't imagine how others pain and discomfort as their own.
Explains why it's always blacks on any form of transportation who listen to things without head phones
it was either that or a baby crying all the way
Any pilots on here? Thinking about training to be an airline pilot, it’s either that or joining the military.
sup? /n/igger in training here. There is an general aviation general or /gag/ on /n/ that has guys in the regional and major airlines. If you go military, you gotta have a natural 20/20 to be a fighter pilot or correctable for anything else. But once you serve your time, you are given priority in the airlines. Part 61 schools will have your ATP cert granted after 1500 hours and part 41 schools get ATP cert after 1000 hours, though it's restricted. Any other questions, stop on by /gag/ on /n/.
>put a frickton of various content on my tablet so i don't get bored

my flight is in 2 days, i think ill just take some xanax before boarding
one time on a transatlantic flight - take off at local night time, once the lights went down a guy was standing i the aisle waiting for toilets, leaning on the wall - but it was waiting on some boomer taking a 10minute pee, then he slumped over and fell on the ground pissed himself.
took a while for flight attendants to get to him.
i always assumed it was sleeping pills. it could have been alcohol but he didnt seem like pass out in the aisle level drunk. they got him into a chair and flight continued normally.
xanax on flights is risky, you can easily sleep the whole thing
whats bad about that? id kill to fall asleep at the start of a 10 hour flight and wake up when its over
You've never gotten up in the middle of the dark flight hours and grabbed a hot girls breasts? You'll never make it.
greentext nao
He's obviously larping.
That's why you do it, last time I took it after takeoff, kicks in proper about when the food comes, eat up, close my eyes a bit and boom it is 10 hours later.

i felt really bad about that but she didn't mind the accident and let me off without shouting at me, shouldn't have grabbed it like that tbh it was loose
>Person behind me complains about reclining my seat
Not my problem
>Purposely acting like a disrespectful Black person
This. I'm pretty sure that reclining seats are designed to recline. Get mad at Boeing's aeronautical engineering project director buddy. I'm just using the seat how he intended me to use it.
>waits until passenger behind me gets served dinner. Fully recline seat to enjoy meal.
Whenever I recline my seat some white American backpack roastie will just rest her knees on the back of it and shuffle the entire flight. Almost not worth reclining. Fricking hate white American chicks, they're just as bad as the chinks and pajeets on flights

So I can be a lying Black person and claim to be military?
Yes. You definitely can and should.
There is essentially no risk, the worst thing that can happen is being told no.
You can even pretend to have misunderstood in that case in case you're not that brazen.
>You can even pretend to have misunderstood
"sorry i thought you said paramilitary"
Like I said earlier, it's for active duty. Yo homie here is Air Guard so I'm hardly military and I board all the time during it so I can crop dust my way through business class right before those rich gays board. I never have my ID checked, it truly is the best travel hack that all the bloggays haven't caught onto yet

Literally me
I like to check the upgrade lists when i get to the gate. Ive noticed that over the years the lists have gotten bigger. flight last month, 89 people were trying to upgrade to 1st class. How many seats were open in first? 1. guess those youtube videos about 10 FLIGHT HACKS AIRLINES DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT! have made their rounds and everyone now thinks that they can buy a basic economy seat and they will get upgraded by simply putting in for it.
I've also noticed that a shitton of more people are trying to fly standby. All the flights I've had in the past year have always had a page or two full of people flying standby. Before COVID shit, it used to just be one or two people.

IT WAS ME AUSTIN!
What's the point of flying if you can't get drunk in the morning?
Is "workie" not a uniquely British word
I think it might be. In America we say 'having one for the road', or 'daydrinking', but I've never heard of a 'workie'.
That's always happens to me. Always make sure to be lovely and nice to the attendant, while everyone behind me seethes. Extra points by giving small talk
Being nice to the flight attendant can almost feel like an upgrade. The "premium" food and beverage options can become free. I've gotten the cheese trays, snack boxes, multiple mini-liquor bottles, the whole works.

Amazing how some people actually think you would change seats with them from first to pleb.
they do it because if often just works, a lot of people are too weak to say no
In what world would someone give up their first class seat for a pleb seat? In the next row in same class sure. But downgrading voluntarily to pleb class? No way anyone would do this.
>In what world would someone give up their first class seat for a pleb seat?
a world with a lot of people too afraid to say no
I don't think you live in the same world the rest of us do. Absolutely nobody is "too afraid to say no" when some moronic c**t is trying to steal your paid for superior seat.
>a lot of people are too weak to say no
this.
a lot of people also dont understand the power of "No." In most situations where a simple "no." will resolve the matter, the discussion turns into a debate or a negotiation. Most people have forgotten to use No as it was intended. as an end to the discussion. It means finality. Pay attention the next time someone tells you no. They will explain the no giving you ground to further argue your case. NEVER EXPLAIN THE NO. its just, "No."
>In what world would someone give up their first class seat for a pleb seat?
a simp would.

Flight in Africa. Everyone brings their whole household to the check-in counter, which includes about 8 pieces of luggage.
Gibberish yelling throughout the whole process. Me bringing only 2 pieces without any kind of bullshit.
My luggage gets lost on arrival
