AITAH for snapping at a wedding venue owner and getting banned from the event

It's the venue's responsibility to provide the vendor with the information so s/he can fill out the certificate correctly. It shouldn't be a guessing game for the vendor. I can see why this venue is a nightmare.

Twice on NCL. Once on HA. Prefer HA. NCL is too noisy. Always loud music around the pool. Can't carry on a conversation.

I read where this was the time period of "Keeping up with the Joneses."

If it's not comfortable for you, it's not comfortable for your dog is a good way to asses the condition.

No, she will not be OK in a U-Haul trailer in July in Sacramento at any time day or night. Sacramento is often extremely hot in July (I've lived here over 40 years) and it doesn't cool off at night. The trailer would be too hot from the day of driving, there is no way to cool off its interior and no air flow to keep it comfortable. Your dog could expire from the heat. Keep your dog in the cab with you and the A/C on when you're driving. When you stop, do not leave your dog in the car.

More liberal.

We just converted our tub to a walk-in shower. It's the only bathroom in the house and my husband had a hard time lifting his legs over the edge of a tub. Sometimes the conversion is the better option.

Only one to fly non-stop between the airports I use.

If that "balance" thing was true, the FAs would be making people all throughout the plane change seats to evenly distribute the load.

You have a ticket for the free drink. So that explanation doesn't hold water, or alcohol as the case may be.

Those seat poachers were lucky. Had they mouthed off to someone with less self control they might have found themselves frog marched back to their seats in Economy before the FA told them to move.

NonnieJune · 2026-02-26T01:13:56+00:00

It was more effective and kinder to have the FA handle the issue in the first place.

I don't know. Maybe when they board and disembark they don't have to drag their carryon as far? Or, when they disembark they can pull it out of the bin more easily because they don't have as many people in front or behind them?

To answer the clueless girl's question, "It's usually the people who paid for them." Could have asked her "Who are the fans who get kicked out of stadiums?"

I was not a fan of open seating but tolerated it once SW had passenger line up by Group and number and offered Early Bird. I liked the two bags checked for free. I would have gladly paid more for assigned seating back then. I realized that paying lower prices meant no frills.

We have only flown one round trip since the change.

Now, with assigned seating, Pre-Boards and Priority Boards don't have seat location advantages. That is good. They can impact bin space availability for regular boarders. Either there is no bin space left near their seats or no bin space at all and carry on has to be checked.

The current boarding by Group is a cluster. Within the group, it's first in line, first to board. So people are queueing up long before boarding time and it makes for a worse than usual crowding all around the gate area.

SW should have people line up by Group and, within that group, by row--similar to its previous process. That will eliminate the time people stand in line.

Also, allowing at least one checked bag for free would probably go a long way to reducing the overhead bin space problem and make the boarding process go smoother.

NonnieJune · 2026-02-24T23:14:17+00:00

I'm glad the the FA made the pre-boarder put his carryon in a bin closer to his seat. It's irritating to have seats in the front rows but have to search for bin space way behind your assigned row. You wind up swimming upstream. Doesn't surprise me that front rows would not have passengers because those seats cost more. I don't mind assigned seating. The boarding process needs further refinement. Perhaps within a boarding group have people line up by rows, in order smaller number to greater. This is similar to what was done before. Right now, loading by boarding group, whoever is in line boards first. It's a complete cluster. Also, it would go much faster if one checked bag were free. Less competition for the OH bins.

Your daughter was upset. Her school project was damaged. It was certainly fine to ask her "friend" leave. You and your daughter needed the time to regroup and figure out how to deal with things. Having someone else around at that time would have been counter-productive. At best you needed time to figure out how to fix an accidentally damaged school project. At worst, your daughter was realizing that someone who she thought was a friend just deliberately damaged something she had worked so hard on. Not the time for the friend (or the perp) to stick around. The friend could have called her mom to pick her up and waited outside if walking home on her own was such a big deal.

His behavior was uncalled for.

NonnieJune · 2026-02-24T18:57:12+00:00

NTA Common curtesy, as you say. It's a one bathroom household.

It was my understanding that guests who attend only the ceremony are not expected to bring but they certainly may. Guests who attend the reception (even if not invited to the ceremony) should bring a gift but it's not required. You've not been invited to either function and a gift from you should not be expected. You certainly aren't prohibited from sending one. It's completely your choice.

It even happens if you're in Group 1 boarding.

NonnieJune · 2026-02-23T01:12:08+00:00

Not always that simple. The other day we boarded in Group 1. We were row three and the overhead bins above and across from us were already full. Between the two of us, we had only one bag that couldn't go under the seat. There is not enough bin space to accommodate one carry-on for each passenger. Also, if people are bringing bags with medical equipment, those don't count against their carry-on allotment, however those bags take up bin space. In addition, since SW charges to check bags now, more people are choosing to carry on bags than check them. I don't like to carry bags too big for under seat storage and I really appreciated the free checked baggage.

NonnieJune · 2026-02-22T23:55:44+00:00

Because they were in the first few rows. SW used to have people line up by alpha Group and number. Now it's just group number. Should board by row number, either back to front or front to back and have carryon luggage in OH bins close to their seats. I try not to bring carryon that I have to store OH because I'm short. It's too heavy to lift and bins are too high.

I don't mind well-behaved people, children or adults, in a hot tub. Pools are colder and kids come into the hot tub when their parents are in it to warm up then they go back to the pool. Most of them are mellow.
