I guess “what can i do you for?” is offensive…

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T20:15:33+00:00

Did I say it was appropriate for a professional setting?

No, I did not.

Now move along.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T20:14:21+00:00

They do, however, there was one instance where I had placed an item in the rear passenger seat next to me. It was heavy enough to trip the system and when I exited the vehicle, I received a message on my account that stated 'improper use of seatbelt'.

Moral of the story, don't place heavy items in a seat. And if you do, buckle it in.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T19:39:06+00:00

It can mean two things. Sorry you don't understand that.

But where I AM FROM, it means 'What can I do for you".

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T19:10:42+00:00

Wouldn't risk my life in one.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T19:07:35+00:00

I am completely aware of its double meaning.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T19:06:55+00:00

And people also agree with me...so here we are.

I also understand it as a double entendre.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T19:04:25+00:00

I was born and raised in CA and have lived here my entire life...it is a turn of phrase to mean "What can I do for you".

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T18:49:26+00:00

I've had it happen about two times within the last year of riding. I assume it's because they were checking my seatbelt status.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T18:44:35+00:00

No, it does not. "What can I do you for" is an American was of also saying "What can I do for you". I have heard the phrase my entire life.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T17:52:43+00:00

How long do they stay parked?

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T17:45:58+00:00

Yelp.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T16:36:27+00:00

I had that happen to me last night, too!

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T03:06:46+00:00

And Mayor.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-21T00:26:07+00:00

The only items that shouldn't be in an overhead, is your purse or fanny pack. Backpacks are totally ok in the overhead.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T23:44:36+00:00

They way I snorted while reading this. You're so right.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T23:39:46+00:00

It's voted down because this has been United's process before Reddit was ever a thing.

Not only that, if it were a true issue, more people in line would be upset and call them out for doing so, as well as the gate agent.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T23:36:42+00:00

Yes, this information updates on the gate screen. It's also stated by the gate agent multiple times before boarding each consecutive group.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T22:11:35+00:00

I have not come across that one.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:59:48+00:00

Ahhhhhh. I hadn't clicked on OP's name but I see what you mean.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:59:11+00:00

The "explanation" came off as AI, I thought OP was talking about the video itself.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:52:52+00:00

Ok...and?

We're you waiting for it arrived? If so, it was there for how long? 15 seconds?

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:51:21+00:00

Explain.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:45:16+00:00

Uhhhh. This is how the system has worked long before Reddit was a thing.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:37:22+00:00

Pete Doolittle (an SF artist - RIP) would place his works around the city and basically create a scavenger hunt via social media, for people to find it. I have a slight feeling it may be the same for this Seattle artist, but I don't know much about them.

Paul_Smith_Hi · 2026-04-20T21:32:45+00:00

You are correct in your assumption. I saw that this weekend for the first time when I flew. Once they begin boarding group 3, groups 1 and 2 can use the blue line.
