People is what you’re trying to say.

@MajorRage why didn't you go for a walk to relieve all that anger?

@Kruse excellent anger.
I was thinking as I was typing that out... people have an irrational hatred of airports. But airports aren't the problem... the people are. So many fucking stupid people. So many.
The public, some of the staff, some of the staff who write policy, myself for getting riled by it.- People invading one's personal space just to stand 30cm closer to the ticket counter or Security check
- People queueing up at the boarding gate, to get to their ASSIGNED fucking seat a little quicker
- India/China not letting you carry a cigarette lighter through security, when other countries don't give a shit
- Cook Islands for not allowing a cigarette lighter in hold-luggage, when no other country gives a shit
- US-of-A for just being dicks in general, and implementing ineffective reactionary security measures whenever they suddenly get hit by one of the many loopholes in existing measures - which then become world-standard
- Whoever it is that will eventually become the first person to use a bottle of duty-free as a weapon, and get that fucking banned
- Boarding-gate secondary security checks... especially on the 2nd leg of a looong-haul flight, when I'm already fucking tired and grumpy and sick of this shit (not to mention plenty boozed)

this one i get though, especially on the old 3-and-3 skinny planes. They deliberately don't have enough carry on space for everyone, so if you want your bag up top close to you, don't board last
(the size of carry on bags now is another fucking issue)

Yeah - I think once, recently, I did hit the issue where I didn't have room to store my bag nearby... and kinda understood this one for the first time.
But yeah - people with fucking ridiculous carry-on... with me staring alternately at the staff at ticketing-counter/boarding-gate, and then at the little box supposed to be used to check whether it's of a reasonable size...
Of course - there are probably people out there who resent me taking on board the clearly illegal quantity of duty-free, ... but fuck 'em. It's medicinal, after dealing with all my pet-hates. -
lol at the carry on weight issue
for our flights to Europe Singapore insisted on the max 7kg each. Mrs Mariner's was a bit over, so we re-distributed some stuff between the other 3 of us so she could get to 7kg
The exact same carry-on went on the plane, but we had to do the theatre of re-packingAnd yes of course it all got given back to her as soon as we were checked in. Fucking ridiculous

Weight is so important on planes I think your shouldn't be paying for a seat and luggage, you should pay by the kilo you take onboard, including yourself

No, the tractor isn't going to reverse 500m up the hill - and you will need to pull into the passing space and get mud on your tyres.

I couldn’t remember if this was actually true or if I’d imagined it. In any case Samoa are doing things nice and fair……
Samoan airline says pay by weight plan "fairest" way to fly
A Samoan airline that says it is the world's first carrier to charge passengers by their weight rather than per seat defends the plan as the fairest way to fly, in some cases actually ending up cheaper than conventional tickets.
So basically the potential future mrs MN5 will pay about 56% of whatever I do. I’d better make her carry all the luggage.

If you want to serve Two Paddocks at an impromptu BBQ with Tesco sausages you should feel free, I say.
Just saw this, what the hell are Tesco sausages??
