Well this escalated quickly.

Eh, you got the gif you get the points!

actually
 

You signed an agreement to obey certain tenants of behavior and therefore only have privileges, which by the way you agreed could be revoked

What did I sign?

A lease agreement. Along with all the other tenants!

What lease agreement? I dont rent my home. What are you talking about?

He was mocking the poster who confused the word tenet and tenant.

Heh, so he did. Probably should have looked closer to see two different usernames.

Now he is free to clip his toenails! :D

Captain I flew with last week who insisted on taking his shoes off and resting his aromatic, sock-clad feet on the FMS CDU the entire flight. Every time I had to make an input on the CDU I had to ask him to move his feet. What is with people like this?

This would make me glad my sense of smell isn't so hot.

That would make my sense of silence go away. Some things need to be addressed.

On top of having to ask him to move his feet, you're also getting whatever nastiness is on his feet on to your hands. Sloppy seconds. :eek:

Soooooooo foot fetish?

Not enough chlorine in the gene pool.

Possible fixes:

Subtle: Pointedly stick your CDU hand down your pants (grunting and squirming), and scratch your crotch aggressively. Mutter, "Dirty little buggers!" while you do. The next time you reach over to input something, wiggle your fingers a bit...or look at them up close for a brief second first.

If he complains, tell him you think the ammonia in his socks will kill those little devils.

Not subtle: Tell him that every time he puts his stinky feet up there, you feel less guilty about rubbing yesterday's skivvies on his yoke. Yank your thumb toward your rollaboard as you say it.

When the dollies used to come up to the cockpit for a smoke, I would just put on my O2 mask. That usually handled it.:mad:

What was the big deal to ask him to move his dogs off the FMC and wipe it down with the sani-wipe?

Not so much tool but more of a: Are You Seeing This Shieeet??

05:15 Departure on an RJ, still dark outside. One row in front of me in First, rough looking (muscular, tattoos, scars, possible Veteran) guy on 2D & business traveler looking older guy on 2F.

F/A's are done doing their thing and all cabins light comes off, and I do mean all, as in pitch black back there. Business dude decides to be the ONLY person on the entire plane to turn his reading light on, because why not. Guy didn't even have a newspaper out. The rough guy is not having it. NOPE, not today. So he immediately reaches up and fumbles around to turn it off, not finding the button like most people do.

After about 10seconds of twisting random things, the lens cover falls off. He proceeds to finally turn off the light by simply CRUSHING the bulb with his fingers. Deliberately. I closed my jaw shut and went to sleep. Commuting sucks.

SAVAGE.

I did exchange pleasantries with the guy on the jetbridge. Very nice bloke actually.

As annoying as a light may be, the passenger has a right to use his own light. 515am departure means it's pretty much morning and people are going to be waking up if they aren't already (they got to the airport, didn't they?). The time it's really annoying is on a 10-11pm redeye that lands on the east coast at 5-7am. This is when most people are trying to sleep. The guy who crushed the light is intimidation behavior. If I was a paying FC passenger, I don't think I'd take that too well.

This sounds just like the "knee defender" debacle. When you buy a seat, you get the right to what that seat does including its recline. Putting a device that hinders that changes the function of the seat, isn't STC, and frankly just gonna **** people off.

Deliberately damaging an aircraft is a security threat and a federal offense.

It is if you want to bring it that far. What bugs me the most on a red eye is when they turn the seat belt sign off they have to make that f&$king announcement. I know it's in every airlines FOM. But jeez, the FAA ain't going to be there that time of night. If you have to say something keep it as brief as possible. "Seat belt off" and that's it!

Well, I did. Finally. But seriously. Who even does that in the first place?

Skywest, I think, is the only rational that turns all the cabin lights on FULL BRIGHT for their safety checks before landing. Even on the flights landing at 1am. Come on... Every other airline gets away with dim! I had to buy eye patches just for my commute with them.

Has a right to annoy other people?
It's PUBLIC transportation which means you need to be considerate of other people.
Paid for your ticket doesn't mean you live in your own bubble and can do whatever regardless.

I agree in general, but if a light, air vent, and seat recline is provided it's not unreasonable to use them.

And the problem with seat recline is not the pax, but the seat pitch.

Correct. You have also paid for a seat with a light, and the right to read a book if desired. It annoys me, but the act is not done to annoy others. Now if he were turning his light on and off repeatedly, or something, that would be worse.

Sorry about that bro.

I hate lights when it's nap time.

I'd say reclining your seat and using your own seat light is perfectly reasonable usage. "Considerate of other people" so if the person behind a guy is too tall or too fat, and they have a problem with a seat recline, the guy needs to sacrifice his comfort for theirs?

Actually, it's an American problem (epidemic?). I'm sure you've seen the overweight and obese statistics today? It's pretty horrifying.

Off airport Panera/chipotle style restaurant, legacy captain in full uniform with wife in tow asking for an airline discount.

Well spotted.....outstanding! What airline or air line is said individual employed with? Hat on also?

If it was close to the water he could have been a ferry captain.

AK, no hat though I'm sure he'd wished he brought it after they said no discount:)

Definite TOTD if not of the year sighting, well done.

We do need some other info to make a final ruling. Was the wife/girlfriend attempting to lick her nose behind said TOTD while flirting with the scruffy underemployed cashier attendant with the man-bun?

Was said contender wearing his Maui Jims on 2-year payment plan?

Any guy with a man bun is a TOTD!:rolleyes:

I SO want to take a pair of shears to the base of those anytime I see one... Ick.
(Not a fan of sideburns either, BTW. ;) )

Me, either. Also, man bun usually = douchebag.

Yep. And a 20-something with a beard like someone out of the Old Testament.*


*They're full of fecal matter BTW.
