😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

Getting on the plane and finding as the plane is in transit some bastard is already sitting in your seat.
" no I am not moving you can have my seat over there"
" Get out of my seat"
“No”
Me calls stewdess and show her my seat ticket number
Stewardess says " please return to your allocated seat sir"
" I am staying here"
Stewardess " not you are not sir if you do not move you will be removed from the airplane"
" Fuck you"
Stewardess calls security and obnoxious Cameroonian is removed from the flight and I get my Aisle seat.

Yep - I hate blaggers who refuse to book seats and then try and use the stewardesses to emotionally blackmail paying punters so a family can sit together

I point blank refuse and bask in the glares I get for the rest of the flight

And.
On long haul i always put my seat back.
I fvcking paid for that

Oh, so you’re the annoying cunt who always does that…… :rage:

:wink:

And me :rofl:

Here you go

If the person sitting in front of you on a flight reclines their seat all the way back and leaves you with no room, turn on the air con above you to full blast and point it at the top of their head

Where i would get up turn the ac off and sit back down again

I had 1 flight where I put my seat back all the way and the Russian kept trying to push it back up. When I confronted him about moving my seat he said " do you know who I am"
I replied with " no and couldnt care less its my seat and i can recline it as far as I want"
His responce was " I can get you put out of the way when we arrive in Dubai"
I assumed he was part of tbe Russian mafia who were running the tarts in Dubai at the time.
Seat was reclined as far back as possible for the rest of the flight. He would push it forward when i went for a piss but it got moved back as soon as I sat down.

I am still around so his threat was meaningless.

You would be up and down like a jack in the box then - which would somewhat defeat the object of being able to recline

I suspect we’d be in for a long old (sleepless) flight

Obviously not a particularly good mafioso if he was flying in the cheap seats

If you did that to me, Chambers would saw your fuckin legs off!
In the nicest possible way of course…for a Millwall Ultra.

Whoopee. After the painful expense of replacing our boiler and hot water system the turbo on our Mazda gives up. That’s another £3k I won’t see again. FFS

I always fly in a Hoodie & wearing a baseball cap.
Wouldn’t give a shit.

My response to do you know who i am was always to say wait a moment i’ll get my address book out so i can take all your details down and get my team to follow up with your team.

Sheikh Mo famously told Emirates & Dubai Police to arrest any Arab National who tried that and used his name

They really don’t get it, do they.

Mr Varadkar said “It was our responsibility to convince the majority of people to vote ‘Yes’ and we clearly failed to do so.”

No it wasn’t. It was his responsibility to have put the issue to the voters for a decision, and then to act accordingly. He was free to campaign, like anyone else, but the point of a referendum is to ask the country for a decision. The fact that he doesn’t like the result is utterly irrelevant.

Mind you, if their vote on the Lisbon Treaty is anything to go by, they’ll soon have a rerun after telling off the electorate as if they were a group of “difficult” schoolboys and to get it “right” next time. :unamused::smile:

Some areas voted up to 80% against the proposal

Why would the govt put something controversial that they could easily judge the popularity of to the electorate- it just undermines them

The quote I highlighted makes it clear that he views the electorate with disdain, and that he saw his responsibility as persuading them to support a position they disagree with in order to validate a change in the law that he wants but they don’t.

So it’s ok to tie any legal protections available to the family but tie the concept of family to the institution of marriage

Likewise “ “life within the home” is a source of support to the state which is necessary for the “common good”

And all the government wanted to do was replace outmoded concepts with the state “shall strive to support” the provision of family-based care.

The result seems to say more about the continuing underlying conservative nature of Irish society rather than political point scoring imho obviously.

That was a debate for the campaign. We can sit here and sneer at all those thick retrogressive bogtrotters voting for what they believe in, but they were asked to vote on the matter by their government.
