Life's Little Annoyances

By
Real Estate Technology with http://www.medicalandspaconsulting.com

After flying again, I am reminded of life's little annoyances!! Travel brings this out in all of us.  For example....

  • grown men wearing shorts in sub 50 degree weather...
  • the seat mate that puts their carry on items in your space..
  • the guy in seat 33F that sops in the second row of the plane to see if it is his seat....also note the open mouth gaze
  • The rush to the gate during boarding....half of the plane boards in Group 1 and the gate agents allow it
  • Roller board kid....20's something Gen Z or whatever they are that is putting a skateboard in the overhead and taking up the entire space for three people. The variation of this is Guitarzan....the fledgling amateur musician who feels that his guitar is more important than our laptops and personal items....and the gate agents that allow this!
  • The flight attendants that allow the above!
  • The baggage handlers that ignore the "Priority" tag on the baggage
  • Then there are the shopping menaces....waiting until the last minute to bring out the method of payment - especially when there is a long line
  • I could continue but it is Friday night and I am watching the "Curse of oak Island and wondering why I am so stupid to believe that they will find something ahahahahah

Having to throw away after shave and shampoo because they are not in "little" bottles.

Paddy,, I do think that this dilemma is pretty common, but I think that’s why these blogs and online forms exist.

Good morning Paddy. I don't like to fly but will be doing so shortly. That said, I bet after the first leg I will have some additions to your list. Enjoy your day.

No need for me to go to an airport or board a plane, those people are everywhere .... and they reproduce.

I think this comes from the reality that most people truly only think of themselves. This is a sad reality.

LOL I could go on.  The MOST annoying time was when I was stuck in an aisle seat next to 2 old guys, one sitting next to me that would not SHUT UP the entire flight.  I couldn't find my ear plugs but thankfully a gal behind me gave me a pair to use.  Everyone on the flight couldn't believe how rude that guy was.  And and yes.....there's more but now it's Saturday am and it's a gorgeous day out.   Gotta get outside to hear the birds chirping!!

Paddy- I think we could add to your list. Like fingernails on a chalkboard when someone waits until the cashier rings them up before reaching for their credit card or even worse whipping out their checkbook.
