What cheeses me off

[leadman]

Or trying to read which is shampoo, conditioner or body gel when you get into the hotel shower with no glasses on. The writing always seems to be so small.

Unnecessarily complicated or tiny a/c controls that almost require a magnifying glass to see to operate.

Not to mention HVAC controls that give you the illusion that you’re actually in control of the system.

It's a never ending issue. I am in the habit of checking these days before turning the taps.

Grrr. Bottle of hand wash sitting next to near identical bottle of hand lotion in the bathroom. Looking at you QF!

Or in showers, identical hand/body lotion and shampoo bottles.

And labelled with small writing making it hard to discern the contents ...




I mean, who wears reading glasses in the shower?

And I understand hotels/motels need to save money but if you are going to install bottles with soap and secure the bottles so people don't walk away with them then make sure one can get soap easily. (Note the nozzle is barely past the contraption to secure the liquid...

Slow drivers that on a multi lane road that insist driving in the right lane slowly.
But it reminded me of Ron's Law of Driving.
1. The slowest lane is always the one you are in.
2. Don't bother changing lanes as that one then becomes the slowest -see 1.

That's one of my super powers. I always end up in the slowest check-out queue. And if I move to a quicker moving queue, that then becomes the slowest.

Mathematically, chose the one on the end, not the middle.

Apart from the conditioner its usually the same cough the cleaner uses to wash the floor in any case..

So on today’s flight I wasn’t particularly concerned by the pax in row 1 reclined during takeoff… the only person’s safety that was affected was their own (50 inch seat pitch). I wasn’t worried about the guy sitting behind me vaping for most of the flight.

But what cheesed me off was the pax in the row behind and across reviewing her social media feeds the whole flight without headphones!! And ‘she’ was a mama who had a good many media feeds, lasting for around half the 5-hour flight

...is... all I need is an A-I-1 bottle

Unnecessarily complicated

What country/airline was this??

Or, a dial with just a couple of symbols on it, no idea of actual temp or fan speed.

I thought you had a magic switch in your "car" to help with that situation?

WCMO - duck shooting season - seriously? We sure have advanced as a society huh? Alleged adults pointing bank sticks at defenceless ducks - bravery in the extreme not

That is absolutely disgusting and I would have made a formal complaint - smokers/vapers sharing their fumes in inappropriate places are simply the most inconsiderate people alive.

At least you can block out some coughs media with noise cancelling headphone, but you cant choose not to breathe.

I don't have a problem if they are non native species. Rabbits, foxes, pigeons, cats etc do not belong here and kill way too much native wildlife, culling seems like a fantastic idea to me.

I will try to be a little more precise - ‘duck shooting season’

Shooting is simply the quickest method of culling, again I don't have an issue provided they are not native and they are careful to not shoot native species.

I'm absolutely fine with people shooting feral cats, feral pigs, feral camels, feral water buffalo, cane toads, feral foxes , deer etc.

A bullet to the head is humane as it is instantaneous.

Sounds like the hosties were not doing their job.

I posted something similar RE pax not using headphones in the VA General Discussion thread. It's a downside to onboard wifi. Becoming common, especially if it's free.

Do all ducks have a little sign around their necks indicating which ones are native and which are okay to shoot, using your premise? I don't think they stay still so you can check either.

And I think the word you wanted was 'humane' rather than 'human'.
