As the summer is rapidly upon us I want say a couple of things to those of you who travel.
1. HEY YOU... WITH THE BACKPACK... you're twice the size you think you are, so could you PLEASE be careful when you turn around. I'm tired of getting whacked because you don't realize that you're another 2 feet thick.
2. HEY YOU... WEARING FLIP FLOPS on the plane/in the airport. Don't moan about about how someone ran over your foot with their rolling suitcase. You're the stupid one for going barefoot in the first place.
3. HEY YOU.... WITH THE ROLLING SUITCASE... where in the heck did you learn to drive? Be careful there are others around and they don't want you running over them.
4. HEY YOU... WITH THE KIDS... no I don't think that they are cute, and I especially don't think that it's cute that you've given them ice cream and that they've smeared it all over me.
Those are my rants... what are yours?

And don't haul yourself and your bloody backpack onto the tube or the trains in the rush hour!
You might think Oxford is just so cool and wonderful . . . I think that you're sitting on the doorstep to my office. And no, I'm not going to say excuse me, it's my bloody office and you can just f*** off.

HEY YOU... WITH THE CELL PHONE. I don't care that you're allowed to use your cell phone when the plane lands. I do NOT want to hear your conversation. In fact, I don't EVER want to hear your cell phone conversation, and especially when you're wearing that stupid blue tooth.

HEY YOU - yes, I know our fair city is a marvel to behold, but for the love of humanity PLEASE do not stop in the middle of the street looking up at the tall buildings!

HEY YOU! Welcome to New England. Yes, it is lovely. Thank you for appreciating it. Yes, I do feel lucky to live here.
Yes, those flies do bite. Not sting with a little pokey thing. Bite. Chomp.

HEY YOU, the ocean is dangerous and powerful. Don't go swimming in it until you've taken the time to assess the conditions and your abilities to deal with them. You don't see me climbing Mt. Everest, so I expect you not to go for a blind swim when the Pacific is dishing up ten foot surf and hazardous rip currents. This advice also goes for your children.

Great thread, Expatinuk. Thanks...
HEY YOU... your three-year-old is kicking the back of my seat on a trans-atlantic flight and it's not cute at all. MAKE HIM STOP, or I will.
HEY YOU, your whining, crying, screaming little children are driving everyone on the plane completly nuts. Please make them stop. Nobody likes to hear you try to reason with them.

Hey you, with the rather large carry on. Yes, I know the luggage companies have measured the size of the suitcase to ensure that it will fit as carry on but when you pack it chock full that it is bulging, you shouldn't bring it as carry on as it won't fit the overhead bins, or if it does, it will crush everything else inside the bin.
Take it out and check it! There is only a 1 in 10 chance it will be mislaid. And people will stop staring at you!

Hey you! I know they don't supply food on flights anymore but what makes you think I enjoy sitting next to you while you eat some big smelly greasy sandwich with the onions falling onto my lap?

Oh, gross. This is so true. I hate it when people bring smelly greasy stuff on planes. |

I sooo wish there were a fourth class in airplanes for people w/children. Make them all sit at the back of the plane. They can scream and kick each others' seats. I also wish it were legal and advised for stewardesses (or whatever they're called now) to instruct parents of children who are screaming because their ears hurt on how to give them something to SUCK ON so the pressure is relieved. A bottle of Bailey's, for example. |

Either Bailey's, or I've found that a valium drip works pretty well also...

I'm no fan of fanny packs, but - pale skin? In shorts. In Florida. In large numbers. And with large rear ends. |
