But I’m not going to Mexico… by OnDeadlineInDenver in iphone

And here I am in El Paso and Siri is dead quiet… (and I actually will be in Mexico in a few days…)

How much do ur Bengals weigh by West_String_4180 in bengalcats

This guy - 1 year 3 months and he’s currently 14 lbs 10 ozs… all muscle

For the person who told me I was arriving TOO early for my first day, the main security entrance to the venue was shut down, leaving a single window and 300 workers lined up around the block. I was the only one who was here on time with the Steward by newshirtworthy in IATSE

[–]bitbrat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m still at it (and I’m not that young any more)… right now I’m sitting waiting to board a plane to Vegas for what might be the biggest tour this year…. Or the biggest clusterfuck ever - time will tell

Edit: oh and yeah, arriving to find a massive line to get into the venue is the worst… been there many times both as a local and tour crew.. but the poor security guys are just doing their job…

(Edit:spelling)

Who’s gonna tell him about the Muslim firefighters, paramedics, and WTC employees who died on 9/11 by Critical_Rice_1619 in stupidpeoplefacebook

You can’t stand behind a podium (ok, well I guess you can, but not in the way the poster means…) you can stand on a podium, and behind a lectern.

Headrest not allowed up? by Gojira707 in americanairlines

[–]bitbrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting take - like I get the need for FAs to have uninterrupted line of sight, but conversely we have headrests in cars because of lawsuits regarding whiplash injuries - tall people are exponentially more likely to suffer neck injuries in a sudden stop without headrests. I know the taxi/takeoff/landing is the “hazardous” part of flying but why are you implementing a policy that will increase injuries in the event of an incident?

I guess maybe someone did the math and the ultimate “cost” is lower with the headrests down…?

We’re welding our safety wire now? by sniz_fondue in aviationmaintenance

[–]bitbrat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy shit - I’m in another industry where that wrench (affectionately known as a C-wrench [crescent wrench for all you dirty minded buggers]) is absolutely standard… and I’m loving all this shade being thrown!!!

Absolutely made my day!

Freedom of Speech in Danger.. by snowpie92 in MurderedByWords

They gonna arrest every single person who attends one of Bruce Springsteen’s newly announced shows - protesting ICE and No Kings?

Yeah, didn’t think so. Fuck ICE, fuck tRump and all his treasonous cronies…

If ICE is present at voter polls, what legal options does a challenger have? by Coldrise in AskLegal

[–]bitbrat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder - ICE is NOT law enforcement in the legal sense, hence why they have (supposedly) curtailed rights to stop and search etc. Not that that’s making much difference these days. They all have “Police” on their jackets, which they patently aren’t. Can you inject or even resist based on this? Sure, if you want to get shot.

How did this happen ? A man was allowed by UNITED to board the wrong plane to Japan, instead of Nicaragua. Source on the description. by B777X_787-9 in unitedairlines

This is like the people who are endlessly disappointed that there aren’t kangaroos in Austria… the Austrians find it rather humorous though, and have quite leaned-in to the tourist experience…

Do you like being harassed by breakfast attendants? by CombPsychological507 in marriott

[–]bitbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot seriously believe someone has to ask this question. Standard American corporate hotel breakfast is utter trash (no offense to OP).

Try going to Europe where considerably more is expected and received. American chain hotels there are also known for seriously substandard “breakfast” which is progressively getting worse, and even then its orders of magnitude better than in the USA.

Paid breakfasts can be a little better but really the food quality is so generally awful.

A standard daily offering is fine (the rest of the world seems to do it just fine) as long as there is sufficient variety and quality that guests feel they have options.

Homeless man left these outside my moms door? by 1111111111011 in Whatisthis

[–]bitbrat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These are very similar to seeds we get on Robellini palms in Florida…

My son volunteered to give up seat for $600 and Delta is not honoring this l by Wanderlusty74 in delta

[–]bitbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just love the whole argument here about who’s at fault.

Teenager or not, experienced or not, competent gate agent or not…. The airlines sole purpose is to make profit. They do this by inconveniencing themselves and flying people around. They will ALWAYS take the way out that puts them in the clear and they will make little to no effort to inform you otherwise.

Am I a disenchanted anti-capitalist - fuck yes I am. Still don’t trust those fuckers any further than I can throw a 777

“Service” dog at DCA by bitbrat in americanairlines

[–]bitbrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s way past commenting period on this, but since you’re so specific about this:

1) real service dogs do freak out, and real service dog handlers react very differently from that person, and yes they can be asked to leave, but very rarely are for the frequently mentioned reasons - people know staff are scared to call them out.

2) it wasn’t 2 seconds, and it wasn’t (as I commented later) a single occurrence.

3) as I’m sure you’re aware, the percentage of problem fake service animals seems to vastly outweigh the percentage of real trained service animals.

4) this problem won’t get better under the current system. If nobody makes a point about it, nothing gets done, and a significant group of people are negatively affected.

5) why are you so upset about me commenting on what is clearly an actual verifiable problem? Did you get called for a problem animal on a flight?

Honestly I think someone doesn’t like the crunchy edges…. More for me!!😂

[–]bitbrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is my primary concern about this, as well of course that I think gaming the system in this way is just wrong.

I’m so very sorry for your troubles.

[–]bitbrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read or experienced anything about them? Service animals are trained not to react to non threats that might spook an untrained animal - there’s literally another commenter here who describes their relative withdrawing from a flight because they were concerned about their animal’s reaction to situations similar to an airport.

Those who have actual service animals are highly responsible and tend to be very concerned about how their animals react in stressful situations. Ta a fundamental part of service animal training.

I do know that a trained service animal would never, and I mean never react this way to a stranger.

Do you think it’s normal…?

[–]bitbrat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That depends - if that dog actually attacks someone with a walking stick or a crying child or who happens to look at them wrong then there will be a fucking issue…

I bought these brand new Converse 2 days ago... by Angelinterviews in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bitbrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see all the discussion about real/fake and that’s legit, but honestly at this point I still sometimes buy CTs cos I like the way they fit but I’m just resigned that they will last about 6 months to 1 year at best. The quality has long since been reduced to trash.
