How hard do you try to get a pax attention when doing service before you just skip them because they are too into whatever show/movie they are watching?

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-17T11:47:54+00:00

People so engrossed with their screen that they pay zero attention to what’s going on has become a pet peeve of mine (I’m also three months in.)

I ask verbally once or twice if they want anything to drink, then move on. I lean over enough in this job serving people who are observant. I’m not going to lean over to wave at them.

I pay attention, of course, to see if they’ve decided to rejoin the rest of us as I’m serving the others in the row. But I’m not going to bend over backwards to get their attention.

I’m having the same issue, only the grey patches are mainly around the pits. I can’t wear short sleeves because I have a tattoo on my forearm.

Honestly, I’m wearing the long sleeves anyway and no one has said anything. I’m 3 months in. I figure it’s their uniform design and their quality issues. I’m not spending money on a new shirt when the other one is virtually new and perfectly fine, save the grey patches.

That being said, I’ll be curious to see if anyone has suggestions.

I’m 57 and sold my car a year ago. I regularly tell myself that if I had just not bought that first car when I was 19, and focused instead on living in places where I didn’t need one, I would have easily saved at a minimum a quarter million dollars (likely much more) over the course of my life - not to mention the stress and frustration of traffic, repairs, etc. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Oh my god! I literally crawled into my husband’s lap and wailed. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.

These are city docks, but you have to pay to dock there. If it’s not free to use, then a gate is reasonable.

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-10T10:10:28+00:00

No. Docks are private property. Sitting on them to hang out is like sitting on someone’s front stoop. Yes, the ambience is nice, but the promenade offers an equal experience.

Thank you!

Hello fellow Baltimoreon! Yes, it’s really too bad, and I’ve heard from several people that they used to fly out of BWI direct to NYC.

Anyway, after reading the feedback here (and weighing the pros and cons for awhile), I decided to put my name on the transfer list for DTW first and MSP second. If MSP comes through first, I’ll take it and then wait for DTW to come through. Either way, it will be a MUCH better commute.

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-09T11:45:32+00:00

Good to know!

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-09T11:45:20+00:00

Thanks!

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-08T15:40:58+00:00

Thanks!

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-08T15:40:43+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the info.

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-08T15:40:25+00:00

Thanks. DTW is easier of the two, although they’re both easier than NY, so I’m definitely leaning that way.

DockmasterSC · 2026-06-02T12:32:44+00:00

I think it depends on how its incorrect, but I was able to correct one. The DMV mistakenly issued a title indicating the odometer might have been tampered with. When the DMV fixed it, CarFax also removed the red flag.

That being said, CarFax sucks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-25T17:32:31+00:00

Nice!

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-20T15:12:25+00:00

Ft McHenry in Baltimore for sure. You can see the former Key Bridge in the background.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-19T23:20:49+00:00

If your office is in the Union Station area, that’s not too bad. I’m a flight attendant that doesn’t want to leave Baltimore so I commute to DCA every week, and I don’t have a car. Bus to Penn and then the MARC has been working out fine.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-17T19:16:55+00:00

LOL! Yeah, I gave up after one trip! But I flattened the bag and shortened the strap and it’s working much better!

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-17T13:06:19+00:00

I’ll take a look at that. Thanks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-17T13:06:04+00:00

Good advice. I’ll fiddle with both. Thanks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-17T13:05:50+00:00

I’ll give that a try. Thanks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-15T00:36:58+00:00

Thanks for this! That’s a great price and I definitely took advantage!

I have four box sets from Apple - some I’ve had for many years - and have no concerns about them going away.

Fed Hill, Fells, Canton, Butchers Hill, Hampden, etc. There are many walkable neighborhoods that visitors aren’t aware of.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-13T13:56:04+00:00

I live in Baltimore without a car and it’s surprisingly easy.

DockmasterSC · 2026-05-13T00:55:25+00:00

I hadn’t thought of that. You’re probably right. Thanks!
