getting put in the aisle seat then as soon as the plane lands my neighbors unbuckle their seatbelts and start eyeing me to start moving because they wanna just grab their carryon and run off before everyone else. I just sit there with my seatbelt and headphones in until is our row's turn and it has driven some people crazy.
Also once in ATL this black girl who appeared to be under the influence of something was yelling at me in the security line to move faster but it's a fucking line so I don't know what tailgating the person in front of me accomplishes.
Based although I'd probably get pissed off if you were sitting there and I wanted to leave the plane lol.
I don't understand how you're going to leave though. Most people think they're gonna zoom off but them someone else holds them back and they're just standing in the aisle like a retard for the next 15min.
This happened on my last flight. Captain announced there's some planes rolling before us and there will be delay. Cattle rushed to stand in the aisle regardless, so that they can be first to board the airport shuttle.
yes and most of those people walk slow as hell throughout the airport and some obviously are gonna wait for bags as well. Boggles my kind. Travel is already stressful enough but they make these additional challenges for no reason other than to seem busy.
This real estate dude was in a rental car shuttle with me once and made it obvious to everyone he's in a hurry. As soon as we stop he gets out his wallet to tip the driver and I just work the door open to get out and he's like "please? my family is waiting for me." so I let him go first and then quickly overtake him. Because he's on a work call or some shit. Yeah I guess he's busy but would it kill him to see me go out the door first?
grow a fucking spine and tell him to fuck off
then he'll say something and I will replay that scene every single night for the next 10 years as I do with every other mildly rude thing I've ever done.
depends who you are rude to
if it is boomers you should be thinking about it with enjoyment again and again
Yeah the boomers will kick your twiggy carcass to the curb
uh huh is that what you think? you think you are a man boomer? see the arrogance of an old boomer.
I think it's this human urge to just feel as if you're getting somewhere.
After sitting on a plane for so long, it can feel like you take off, sit completely frozen in the air for 12 hours and then magically lower into your destination. So people get up so they can get that sense of "I'm moving forward" even if they really aren't going anywhere.
Thing is, they do this even after a 40 minutes flight.
Unless you intend to crawl on top of peoples heads, getting up early and standing there like a fucking idiot for 5-10 minutes is going to get you off the plane maybe 10 seconds faster than if you just wait till it starts to clear up in front of your row
>not fluent in foreign language, but have good accent and can understand everything if it's spoken about 20% slower

Maybe I am asking too much, but I can just take my business elsewhere.
Way to be an upstanding member of society. Proud of you, anon.
Never had that happen.
Plus everyone keeps loudly talking when the intercom is going.
Sneaky fees.
Shit like resort fees and ATM's that want to charge you for other dumb shit just because you're a foreigner.
It feels like legal scamming.

on cnn
People who at the airport think you're some kind of oracle or staff that is there to serve them. I don't know what it is but it's fairly common for me to get asked the most insane shit at airports.
>Do you know if I'll have enough time to make my connection?
>How do you use this terminal thing I need to check in my flights in 20 minutes
>Do you think this is carry on size?
>Where is X in this airport?
>how do I fill out this customs form it's asking me a bunch of questions
>Do you know if security wants us to remove X item? I know they are screaming it but not sure if it's for me to follow.
Anyone else deal with this shit?
Sounds like you're cursed with the customer service face. Never had this happen to me, but I know a guy with that face and he gets it all the time and not just in airports
This last one though, I love.
>some zoomer whining about no cash

I don't think anyone cares all that much about carrying cash but it's pretty annoying when you're not in your home country and you go somewhere that obviously has modern tech but CASH ONLY PLEASE. It's happened to me quite a few times in asia and also in europe(last month actually). Obviously it's a good idea to carry some cash with you but when you're at a bar or some shit then go ask for the check and get "no card cash only" it's annoying as shit.
>tfw you took local cash from an ATM but only got big bills and nobody will have change
This. Love getting a fat bill worth 60$ us in a dirt country and you pull it out and the cashier just glares.

The intercom thing made me chuckle

>the old man behind you who grabs your headrest to stand up
ye, those are me, sorry...Also, I can't walk while maintaining my back at a diagonal angle, there is gravity and shieet
>can’t walk with back at a diagonal
Wtf are you even talking about. You can’t bend over slightly and continue to move?
And if you know you’re being a jackass smashing into the touchscreen and grabbing headrests to get out of your seat, why don’t you use some critical thinking and not do it? You are why people hate traveling, selfish cunts with no amount of self reflection.
If you can't be around people for a few hours maybe you should stay home
All of this can be solved by flying first class, peasants.
>book decent hotel
>it has a shitty card reader/maker

I hate that shit, like just give me a damn new card no it's not my phone it's your shitty cards bought for .005c a pop being a bad batch.
>Arrive at airport, see some OK eateries
>"Hmm, just to be safe I better get through security first, make sure I have time for my flight and then eat after that"
>Get through security
>All the available food is shit and now I can't go back out
Why not go back out?
Is this a real question?
Do you not understand how an aiport works?
Do you? I've done it, for a domestic flight. You just have to put up with going through security again. International flights, if there is an exit process, would be different.
>going through security twice for food
We get it anon you're fat.
some airports (fucking brussels) have gates that scan your boarding pass and won't let you through if it's a duplicate
and then all the staff do is giggle at you in french as you wait to miss your flight over a fucking ham sandwich
I highly doubt that's the case and I'm sure you could tell your airline and they'd print a new ticket or something
that would be wonderful if only the fucking airline didn't close their desk four hours before their last departure
it would be even better if even a single fucking human being could just call the gate and explain
Everytime I fly internationally to Asia I get stuck behind either an Indian or Chinese family that over packs their bags and holds up the baggage checkin trying to repack their shit
>layover hotels/sleeping pods still not a thing in 99% of airports

>splurge and get a nice place like a casino on the strip, or a hotel by the airport for triple what I would normally pay, get less QoL, dated furniture and overall less than that of a cheap one
hotels/sleeping pods still not a thing in 99% of airports
god damn, this. recently had an 11 hour delay for a 6 hour flight, after a full (long) day of work at a remote site. Booked the last room available at the worst roach motel. All I needed was a couple hours nap and a shower to feel human again.

When the stupid central european railway sells both tickets with named seats and tickets with no seats specified, which means even if you paid for fucking first class some millennial whore can kick you out to another seat because "we paid for these specific seats" , ruining the train ride for our 5-strong gang of zoomers as we had to sit apart

Happens all over, only real place I've not run into it as a common routine is in Korea/Japan.
I've only experienced it once and it was two American women in their 20s. One of them had a seat next to me so the other decided to just take my seat. She asked me to change seats but I said no, so she took another empty seat in the row next to us which I assumed was her assigned seat. A few minutes later another man comes on and she refused to move and he had to get the flight attendant to tell her to fuck off. Never seen anyone so shameless before
I did this once when I was hitting on some Asian girl in a bus and some Asian dude came over and I was like just take my seat dude and he did, hope that wasn't her bf kek
No better feeling than making a whole group of dickheads have to move
Airports that don't have a train or lightrail out of it but have a bus and don't have a place to sell tickets for it "sorry bus cash only". So only alternative is an overpriced taxi since uber/lyft is barred from the airport.
There is no words, ah yeah sure I do have 2 dollars in local currency in exact change, who wouldn't?
Literally how hard is it to put your fucking bag in the overhead and then sit down? WHY am I standing in line ON the plane for ANY amount of time?
What I hate is when people think their luggage HAS to be in the bin above them. Nothing like seeing most the bins closed passing open ones but the person in from of you gets to their seat looks around and goes HUH? WHERE BAG GO?
but I need my chaaappp stiiicccck.. i cant find it
>that indian family who won't take no that's my seat for an answer
>drunken lads OI WITH ME M8 CAN YOU JUST TAKE MY SEAT?
I got no time for that bullshit these days, I don't argue, just call over the FA and let them sort it out. their word is law.
had to do it recently when some wannabe influencer tried to take my window seat near the front of the plane (I wanted to get some shots of the coastline we'd be following the whole way). dumb bitch tried to sweet talk a level25 wizard.. your tricks dont work on me harlot
and these are the exact same people that feel the need to rush into the aisle as soon as the plane lands (and they block the entire plane fumbling around for their shit)
Literally nothing since I'm Literally a boomer so I know how to do everything and don't freak out like a bitch millenial when everything isn't catered to my liking or there is some minor inconvenience. Just go with the flow fellas no need to Literally start crying because the person next to you isn't an autistic mama's boy like you
>don't freak out like a bitch millenial when everything isn't catered to my liking
boomers are the literal retards on the planes fumbling for shit and making everything take long because they expect everyone to cater to them and wait for them. Then they act like they never do this shit and just blame others as with everything in a boomers life.
Im going to be rude as fuck to every old western person I see traveling from now on fuck boomers.
>a boomer that doesn't complain 24/7
literally non-existent. lack of self awareness is not an excuse.
Boomers don’t say literally ever let alone 50 fucking times in one paragraph. Shit larp /10
Ahhh you kids think boomers are all the same person while yall are literally all unique snowflakes each with your in special made up sexuality, politics, gender pronouns and dietary restrictions. Anywho yall literally don't have to generalize boomers like we are all the same there's literally 75 million of us all different
>literally
I literally do not believe you’re a boomer, I’ve never once heard a boomer say literally and you type like a millenial/zoomer that was raised on msn messenger. Again. Shit larp / 10
Europe's desire to still be so cash centric. Get with the times.
>he wants to help tax services fiscally raping small businesses
You will never understand how a small business works.
>Business can't adapt to the changing world
Deserves to close
What changing world? Why do you want to help the State fiscally raping small businesses, especially if they don't get anything back in return, if only a decaying state of their livelihood?
Lower the taxes, or make people trust their government again instead of betraying them by fucking up everything day by day, and businesses might want to accept cards.
If their businesses decay it's due to their inability to successfully run their businesses.
This is exactly what I am saying, you have absolutely no idea how small businesses work.
Kek, doesn't America not even use contactless?
I think anon means places that straight up go SIR! SORRY SIR NO CARD CASH ONLY!!! and you just know and can see a card reader right fucking there or they clearly have NFC. Shit's annoying and you know they are just doing it to cheese on tax.
I wouldn't mind if the place clearly has a sign stating cash only but damn.
Should be everywhere in the US by now. I certainly haven't seen a swipe-only location in well over a year.
In my part of the world (US South) contactless exists, but just isn’t used. Everyone still inserts the chip into the reader, I don’t think I’ve seen a swipe system for years. I finally switched over after having numerous run ins while in London with shitskins at their corner shops not being able to comprehend what a signature requiring card is. Just about lost my shit over a Pakistani telling me in broken English ‘to go back to my own country’ after I explained to him how it works (I’m ethnically Anglo and a dual citizen).
Where in Europe have you been? Nordic countries are essentially cashless these days.
>People trying to jam their grossly over-sized "carry-on" into the overhead.
>People putting their bag into the overhead horizontally.
>Those people who bring a second carryon sized bag as their personal item to put under the seat, yet still put it in the overhead to clog them up
I hate that US hotel rooms are so huge and shitty and provide a huge and shitty buffet breakfast. Who honestly enjoys this combination? I just want somewhere cheap and clean to sleep. Why no demand for this? Zoning laws?
Everything is huge and shitty in the usa, so they are just trying to be consistent.
>NOOO I WANTED A SMALLER ROOM!
Wtf is wrong with eurocels?
I'm American. Yes, I don't want to be forced to pay double for a room with a couch and a ton of empty space. Does your brain work? Hotels are cheaper in Europe. Find a hotel near Idaho falls for less than $80/night. It's gonna be absolute shit
Franchises. If someone wants to start a hotel on their own they have two choices: hire an architect, approve designs on every little thing from paint colors to wallpapers and the distance between lights, get vending machines, computer systems, parking lots, etc, or alternatively they can get some already existing hotel chain to do all that shit for them and build an optimal, cheap, cookie-cutter hotel with literally no effort. What do you think the boomer looking to diversify their portfolio will choose? Of course they'll pick Hotel McDonalds.
>Hotel McDonalds
I know this is not what you meant, but I actually would like to see a McDonald's hotel, or at least a hotel with an attached/in-house McDonald's.
All I know is that there is a Burger King hostel in Bavaria, and there used to be a Hooters hotel in Las Vegas.
You do know you can camp in your RV in the parking lot of a McDonalds equipped walmart right?
Plane seats in general. They hurt my ass and lower back so much, I got a seat pad for it but I’m thinking I should just eat the cost of upgrading my seat
I’ve only ever flown Southwest so this fuss over the seats is interesting.
Traveling with friends is always a bit messy but this kills me

I never even eat in restaurants here anymore just to go, I am surprised they dont want a fucking tip for bringing me the bag
>stop going out because of tipgayry, just get occasional takeout
>my usual place updates their old card readers
>now even paying for takeout it asks you to tip first
>not sure if they're expecting a tip for passing me my food
>not sure if they'll start spitting in my food if I consistently don't tip for my takeout
>stop giving them my business entirely
>learn how to cook quick meals that take about as much time as getting takeout but cost way less
I want them to just up their prices and pay their wagies a full wage but it'll never happen since the entitled kids demanding tips are also the ones who do all the protesting and crying and they know damn well they make way more on tips than they would a standard wage.
It’s absolutely hilarious to me when bartenders and servers cry about not being able to live on their wages when I know girls who bartend and easily make $500 in tips alone in a night. At a college bar full of poor college kids. At upscale bars they’re probably clearing $1k a night easily
Imagine being in any job where you open a 3$ can of beer, hand it to some blue collar red neck fuck who gives you 5$
>Keep the change heh.jpeg
Bartenders are a plague on society for complaining about their job when they make at least 33% tips on sales.
Quitting drinking will be the best decision in life you ever make and help you avoid that type of garbage
Not going to change food checks you soberfag
Once you sober up you will want to live life and maybe spend five minutes cooking your own burger
You must be a ton of fun to go overseas only to never eat outside. Probably one of those comfort zone gays who only cook pasta while they travel because they're afraid or either having to eat with other people or of getting a wittle tummy ache
Are you the seething millenial butthurt because you have to pay a roastie $3 to carry your bowl of of canned spaghetti to your table and you don't know how to use a can opener or a microwave?
Ok boomer
Some food delivery services in America have an automatic "tip" for the driver that you can't even opt out of.
Food delivery apps are for fat retard sheeple who deserve to be fleeced
>food delivery app takes an automatic monetary tip
>food deliveryman takes an automatic tip from your food
It’s getting common where places that just hand you your food expect a tip now too. It’s fucking insane. No you don’t deserve a tip for 1 minute of work getting my food together and handing it to me. And people here judge you so hard if you dare to not tip, especially roasties that also work in the service industry.
The best is counter serve restaurants who flip the iPad around and it says 15%, 18%, 20% tip for someone just punching in your order on a screen and not being an actual waiter
I noticed some places in Japan and Taiwan are doing this kind of shit a "service fee" which is just a tip and is automatically in your bill
fuck them
It's everywhere not just there. I'm in Azerbaijan right now and if you go to anywhere in Baku that's sit down the bill includes 10% service charge. Which ultimately hurts them, because I'm a mutt and I don't mind giving 15-20% if they're cool but it they have it included they can just get fucked
Dang it has reached even there strange.
On topic: I hate how most places in Japan won't let you split a bill. At least in Osaka
I met random tourists there and we would go to eat and the Japs would flip out about letting us split the bill. We literally all just met and if we came in separate they would serve us all individually and we would take up 4 different tables but they refuse to let us split a bill at multiple places
fuck japan
how you met is not their concern. you eat together, you pay together
so they would rather have 4 tables taken instead?
I have never been in another country that does this shit
>road trip in america
>eat breakfast, lunch, dinner in restaurants for 2 weeks straight
>never eat in the same restaurant twice
>total tip amount: $0
if it's a local restaurant and you dont want people spitting in your food i can understand tipping, but otherwise it's a stupid social norm. i looked it up before we went and american waiters are guaranteed minimum wage by law if their wage+tips equals any less than the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is highest. i'm not going to give someone charity just because they make minimum wage
>hanging out in san francisco for a few days

>Idiot who visits San Fran shocked that he gets treated like an idiot
I live in SF, and in the US my entire life, and have never been charged for still water. Never even heard of it happening. Seriously, fuck that.
It is stupid, but it is the custom nonetheless. They may not "need" the money, but some of those people must have either 1) wondered what they did so poorly that a customer gave them a 0% tip; or 2) used your behavior to justify future prejudice against people from whatever country/region you are from, since you're apparently greedy/rude fucks. "When in Rome..."
>You should give these minimum wagies free money but not these other minimum wages, because it’s a custom
Yeah no, I think I’ll pass. They being too greedy for that easy tip money to demand a fair wage like in other countries is not my fault nor my problem

This isn’t particularly original but I hate people that recline their seats. I have never reclined my seat, ever. It is intensely selfish in my opinion, a breathtaking act of aggression and arrogance. Airlines should disable it. Just fucking sit up like a grown man, I don’t understand how people can willingly take away 50% of the room for the person behind them and not feel bashful or awkward.
This is why budget airlines are kino is because they don't have reclining seats

Not going to push my way through 80 people to get my carry on, not chink enough for that. Sorry pal.
>he's so beta he can't even tell when he's being beta
Anon, he meant why are you so beta as to give up your seat for some chump's cunt.
well.. i guess you learned something at least :
>I've been this asshole once
Well kind of. The individual next to me offered to switch with my spouse - likely not out of the kindness of their heart but because they didn't want to be next to a baby for a flight.
However, in my defense, we had paid for seats all together initially. It was due to the gross incompetence of my mother in law that we missed our actual flight. 1000 bucks in swaps later, we took what we took. Airline iternaries are all sent to me now, and we always arrive with an hour to spare.
People who reclines their seat fully on the plane. There is a special place in hell for those people
Why do airlines obstinate to put reclining seats in econ as people keep getting taller?
You'd think the conflicts it creates would offset the gains they make from upselling extra-legroom seats, especially when it results in diverted flights like it does once in a while.
As a tall person myself this pisses me off to no end, people who recline in front of me immediately feel my knees in the back of their spine through no deliberate choice of my own yet it never seems to bother them.
That one dude who gets a mini heart attack on a plane and they need to call on the medics when you land
Lol nah it wasn't a pet peeve but it was interesting to see. Glad the man made it
The very specific times places open/close to serve food in Mexico.
