Yeah I go out of my way to be a dick to these people. I usually sit near the front (not always first but at least MCE) and if some dick back starts cutting people in line I will stand in the aisle tinkering with my bag until he rages. frick these people.



People who rush anything, the gate, deboarding, etc. A few assholes trying to make everything about them makes other people defensive, so now everyone is doing it.

We went on a Chick-fil-a chartered flight one time, and what I remember most was how orderly and ridiculously polite everyone (not surprising) was and how I wished the real world could be like that.

right now it's btr's inablility to separate tsa precheck passengers from non-tsa precheck passengers. $85 to avoid having to take laptop out of bag...nope .. not at btr, gotta take it out because they're too cheap to pay enough people to open both sides. avoid getting behind people who have to go through the regular screening process? nope, not at btr.


This is literally my only complaint flying out of BTR. I don’t even mind being behind people. The issue is that I’m going to pack my bag differently if I think if I have to take out my laptop. I’m pissed if I have to pull it from the middle of my damned bag unexpectedly.

Last time I flew out of LFT, some African guy (with heavy accent) in front of me tried to pass 2 big suitcases full of laptops through the TSA line without taking them out. He had 15+ laptops in each bag and took forever taking each one out one by one. Eveybody in line was His whole family (not flying) kept ducking under the ropes to hug him and cry and frick around

He acted like he had never flown before but didnt seem American so who knows.

It's very common for people from Africa to bring back clothes and electronics for friends and family when they travel from the US. These two items in particular are much more expensive to purchase there.


this. i have a team that travels to west africa. there is no such thing as Best Buy over there. You can sell a $2,000 lap top for $10,000 to an Exxon Mobil/Chevron/BP/ etc engineer easy , if he/she needs one.

In no particular order:

1) The entire flight moving towards the boarding gate instead of waiting until your boarding group is called.

2) Assholes who bring multiple carry on bags onboard.

3) Assholes who are sitting on the back of the plane but store their bags in the overhead bins at the front of the plane.

4) Assholes who listen to their music/movie without using headphones.
