Ah, the joys of public transport. Planes are just buses with wings. Once you accept that, the inevitable crap you have to deal with is more understandable (but no less annoying).
I fly a lot and it never ceases to annoy me! We were having dinner at his house a few weeks back, and we came to the same conclusion.

But she is the one who closes the bloody window, and the curtain, every bloody night, so the neighbour can't see her titties when she showers. (The fact that there is a hardware store behind our house, and the only way anybody could see her is to clamber on the second story roof, is wasted on her.....)
The ironic thing is she closes the window because the cool breeze flaps the curtain about, revealing her nekked bod to the guys sitting on the roof at the back.....

People who send me emails that are entirely made up of images, with no 'alt' tags to give me the first clue what they're on about. I'm on a fairly low-bandwidth connection, so I don't download images by default. So when someone sends an email with a title that sounds interesting, I have to balance between downloading the images just to find out what it was, or allowing my hackles to win and ignore it just because they don't consider people like me.

My solution to that would be the delete button upon arrival. Presumably curiosity has gotten the better of you and you've set images on to see what it is. So what was it and why are they communicating in pictures and not words like any normal person? They sound like utter trumpets to me and I'd be promptly investigating the TOOLS > MAIL > BLOCK SENDER menu.

Well, that's the annoying thing. It's a local pub that runs a regular classic car meeting that I've been meaning to go to, and this was to announce the next one. All they had to do was put a bit of text at the bottom with the date on it, but there's nothing other than the images. But it's local, they're trying to build it up, and I don't want to just ignore it because of that. droopsnoot said:

Just go to the pub more often, then you're bound to catch it.markmullen said:
People who make air travel much more difficult than it ought to be. I'm actually on a Dubai to Manchester A380 now so these are getting on my tits at this very moment.
The gate roaches who clog up the passageway to the gate despite not having been called yet.
The inappropriate hand luggage morons, you know the ones, one gimp had two wheely cases and a suit hangar to negotiate on board.
The parents who give their children full size hand luggage which they can't manage and need assistance for.
The parents who bring screaming children on a long haul flight. I'm enjoying that as much as the baby appears to be, despite noise cancelling headphones.
The parents who allow their urchins to run amok up and down the aisles.
The imbeciles who can't do something as simple as finding their seat, stowing their carry on bag and sitting the f
k down without the assistance of the cabin crew.
The old git who shuffles past every few minutes on his way to pester the cabin crew for something else.
I enjoy travelling and seeing the world but these aholes make it less fun than it ought to be.
You missed the "bloke sitting in row 22 who puts his roller case in the locker above row 12". Virtually no advanatge to them, yet means bloke in row 12 has nowhere to stow case, and has to take it towards rear of plane (probably row 22). When lands, twunt sitting in row 22 is then held up becasue bloke from row 12 has to climb over everybody to get his case. I fly a lot short haul within Europe, and I see it virtually every time. If I were a flight attendant, I'd take the bag, stick in the hold and hand the offender the ticket without asking first.

As one of the aholes who fits the above criteria, my youngest cried for an hour both ways on a flight recently, I can tell you that no one hates the child crying more than the parents.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
