Staff saying on a commercial plane "sit back and enjoy the flight". What sane person actually enjoys flying or even enjoys being in airports.

fucking hate airport trave4l, love going on holiday of course but the whole bollocks of getting there is a pain int he hole, espically getting the timing right.
You dont want to arrive far too early as theres usually fuck all to do and everythings over priced, but at the same time you dont want to be dashing and trying to get through secruity in time.
Also find in Belfast international if someone calls in sick the whole place grinds to a halt and it makes headlines on the local news about the chaos.

Would almost go into the supermarket with a sign stating this and no, I'm not being a cunt about wiping my arse while you can't.

That said, shout out to Mooncat (I think!) in Canada - arse wiping there just got slightly less achievable with this lark!

Somehow missed this before. Don't worry, luckily the great bog roll depression didn't make it as far as Alberta and arses remain largely wiped.

It was funny online here though with a lot of comments from the further reaches of the left being like, "This is it! The revolution is starting!!" Err no, some crazy just burned down a bog roll factory, relax.

"I appreciate... YOU!"

If someone said that to me I would pepper spray them and run away.

Whoa, haven't heard that yet, I'll be saving a particularly vehement death stare for when I do.
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Good to know your arse is still squeaky!

Haha, yeah and if you're gonna commit arson, not is a bog roll factory gonna go up pretty handily, it also makes for a nice pun. "Arse-on (fire)".

Or something.

Been going on for years. It doesn't annoy me as much as it used to but still cuntish.

Probably the same sickos who type WE ARE SO BACK under youtube videos.

WE'RE SO COOKED! is one that really annoys me, for a range of reasons.

And possibly WE'RE TOAST even more so.

People opening car doors, without any consideration to oncoming traffic.

I had to serve to avoid a fat cow getting out of her car the other day.
She was fairly hefty, so she had to give the door a good full swing to enable her to get out.

I think her only concern was lifting her weight onto her quivering legs, rather than the possibility of me removing her door from her car.
Although, she would've softened the blow.

Depends on the situation I suppose. My usual experience of flights involves short haul with the family, so its the chaos of getting three kids under 12 through departures, dropping off bags, etc, then inevitably onto a Ryanair flight with no leg room, queues for the toilets and bickering children. So yeah, not something to be enjoyed.

I've only ever been on one long haul flight in my life, and that was before the kids arrived. Much different experience...food was decent enough, plenty of legroom.

Also, there's just something about airport pints.

Elasticated bottoms on hoodies.
When will the 90s style ones without such fuckery ever return?
What purpose does this elasticated spastication serve? You can fuck off with the elasticated sleeves too when you're at it. Do you hear me all clothes making people!

I don't enjoy pints myself at the airport nothing enjoyable for me about being stuck on a plane after a few beers and I wouldn't touch plane food. I won't fly Ryanair again after my last two experiences Aer Lingus is worth it for the extra money. Long haul flights can be slightly better but then you may have to deal with ignorant pricks reclining their seats on top of you. I am tall and have never reclined my seat on the person sitting behind me because I would feel like an asshole for doing it.

People who recline their seats on short haul flights are pricks. Your knees are already up against the seat in front on most budget flights.

Yeah, shouldn't be an option really. So the airlines are more to blame in fairness.

When people say their pet is their best friend. Wut... That furry, four legged thing that says woof and is shitting on your floor is your best friend? Exsqueeze me? A baking powder?? If your best friend isn't even the same species as you, what you need is a best friend.

I get why men do it. We would say or do LITERALLY anything. There's no mystery.

But when women say it... what skeletons must lurk there, I wonder.
