        Boarding a plane to Tokyo from London Heathrow. I was in the queue for priority boarding (I am BA Gold card holder, and may even have been travelling business class). I got tapped on the shoulder and turned around, to be told (not so) politely by a besuited American, (looked like a lawyer) that I was in the wrong queue, it was for priority passengers only. I am not sure he could read my boarding pass because I thrust it so close to his face, but I think he got the message, and I did not have to say a thing....

            I love it when Karens take on the role of enforcing someone else’s policies. Especially when they’re wrong, as is typically the case.

              @Tago-Mago haha, sitting back and watching the madness unfold can be entertaining. Not too mention being eye level with some strangers crotch for an extended period

                  Flying is a necessary indignity. I enjoy the novelty and anticipation of travel but actually being on a plane is the worst.

                    My problems with flying are mostly:

                    1. smaller seats, fatter asses. I have a ton of sympathy for people who are genetically or otherwise large, but it’s not fair to have your fat rolls occupying my space

                    2. amenity drought without corresponding fare reductions. Ever more we are cattle and there’s nothing special about flying anymore

                    3. humanity as a whole is dispensing with basic manners. People playing videos at full volume, placing their bare feet on your armrest, farting, being Karens with the staff or other passengers, etc; it’s enough to make me borderline agoraphobic

                    Think it, be it.

                        Plane parts falling off at 30k” is also a real bummer.

                            Southern Germany, Bavaria in particular, has been hit pretty badly by severe flooding over the past week. This has also impacted train travel…

                                          @tody reminds me of a joke about Liverpudlians:

                                          Q: What do you call a scouser in a suit?
                                          A: The defendant.

                                          Are the same that burn crosses”

                                            I'm surprised. that in Britain someone else looks at appearance. This is an eternal problem in Russia. Here everyone is judged by their clothes. I work at a car service station. Somehow, between my affairs, I decided to drop by the bank to pay off the loan. I was wearing overalls. The security guard stopped me. Dress appropriately and come again. I exploded with obscene words and the wrath of the Roman gods)) Then I demanded to call the chief manager. They let me in)) The same thing happened in the supermarket. Fucking clothes!! Mother fuck
