People who can’t follow simple instructions going through airport security.

He just told you to empty your pockets, not full of change and keys!

No madam, you can’t take six bags of makeup through!

Gaaaaaaaaah!!! 🤬🤬

Airports drive me mad.  The stupid people who stand right up against the carousel so no one else can see when the luggage comes around so you have to push them out of the way to grab your case.  I always swing it around hard hoping to catch them with it (the case that is).  Packed lounges with no seats available except people with a bag on the one next to them 'reserving' it for someone who isn't there while dozens of people have to stand around without one.  Last year at an airport I was standing next one of these 'bag occupied' seats when an elderly and obviously disabled woman asked the woman with the bag if she could sit ther.  The woman refused saying it was 'occupied'.  I butted in "You can quite obviously see this lady is elderly and disabled, the very least you can do is have the courtesy to let her sit down," dirty looks, but she moved her bag for the woman to sit who then thanked me.  Airport queues.  Stood for four hours in Verona airport last week because the booking system server had packed up and they couldn't process anyone.  We were at the front of the queue and in the end there were about six hundred people behind us.  Couldn't process us manually they said because UK Border control wouldn't accept it, but then after four hours they did.  Flights to Tel Aviv and Moscow took off on time though.  Baggage allowances.  You stick to your baggage allowance and then some great fat lump of lard sits squashed in to the seat next to you and they have the same baggage allowance as you but bring an extra two baggage allowances in personal weight on board the aircraft and you have to sit there while they overflow into your personal space.  Children in the row behind you on a plane.  How many time have I had to get up and lean over and tell the parents to tell the kids to stop kicking the back of my fcuking seat.  I tend to sleep on planes so it's particularly annoying to keep dozing off only to be woken up by repeated jolts.  Recently had to tell a bloke to stop knocking the back of my seat (I usually give them half an hour to settle down) and it turned out he had a row of three seats to himself.

Week off work, just watching something about how transgender children should be able to attend brownies without discrimination?

 

I'm sorry, I know I'm getting old, and I know I'm going to sound bigoted, but they are 7 years old?  Seriously, I don't get it, when I was that age, girls were girls, boys were boys, they played with barbies if they were biologically female and action men if they were biologically male.  Since when were children of that age able to think beyond how many fish fingers they want for dinner, let alone grapple with identification as a different gender, or the fact that their best friend with long hair and a dress has a cock?

 

Sorry, too young to decide, and too young to have to grapple with issues like this.

girls were girls, boys were boys

 

They still are though arent they, even if they decide they want to be something different by adding or removing "parts", we can mess around with Vx's as much as we like, engines swaps etc, its still a Vx, same goes for whatever sex you were born imho

 

Do you know facebook now list something like 71 different gender choices

[smiley]

You made me look.

I could choose male, female and custom giving me a an option to write what i want.

Is that 71 a dropdown option in yours?

 

[Jetpilot]

I came off fb sometime ago, but saw a programme and it was mentioned about 71 different options.

The point that I am making is that they are 7.  No number of generations will all of a sudden equip a 7 year old to deal with issues like this.  I don't think my position is backward?

 

Not pointing this at you, but I am made to feel like I am intolerant, as I consider that there is a default position of being the gender that you were born, and hetrosexual, until such time as you are old enough to have made sense of stuff like, times tables, and how to tie your shoe laces.

[Jetpilot]

Sorry, maybe my post wasnt clear, i am completely on your side and think its utter bo**cks, i was just highlighting the nonsense that facebook list 71 genders or the sheer fact someone has decided there are 71 different genders, i think amongst those 71 choices there is "other", i would suggest if you still cant decide with 71 choices you are either a) an alien species or in need of proper help.

 

7 or 70, they can think they are whatever gender they like, quite simply they are male or female, perhaps i am in the ignorant camp like you.

Yes thought he was a bit of a cock. I heard that, WTF is mashed potato? Can any golfists explain?

I am a golfist and its just an Amercian thing, at least get in the hole shows some relevance to the sport, except when they shout it on a par 5.

[Jetpilot]

P.s not even the Americans like Reed.

Ebay sellers who waste your time.  I made a reasonable offer on something costing £40 squids (£2 less) and got a counter offer of a discount of 20p.  Fcuck off and stop wasting my time.  I'll buy it from someone else at the full price rather than buy from you, so you just lost a sale - idiot!

Similar happened to me. Audi grille on for £140, I offered £130, get a counter offer of £137.50, turned it down. It was on my watch list, a month later he sold it for £100

DVLA is number one on my tawt list. Having sold the VX to Europe I had to send a letter to tell them. No online option and emails not accepted, despite being an electronic copy of the letter...

As such royal mail never delivered it and DVLA told me to wait 6 weeks before trying again incase it was in the system. Yeah weeks later and they said they hadn't got it so resent. Refund comes through missing 2 months as they can only pay from date they received.

When I pointed out it was the 21st century and having to rely on postal service is ridiculous. There response is what really got me, a straight no we don't take electronic communications for this. You take it for everything bloody else!

...it breaks my heart when someone with such supreme natural talent ends up becoming such a repellent little bellend.  I'd love to find it in myself to cheer him on but sorry, I just can't.
