Moaning about not dressing warm enough;

Perfectly healthy people who take their Yorkies on the plane for free, with no carry bag, because the dog is their "emotional support dog". If you need support to fly, buy a teddy bear and hug it.

One of the best scenes ever.
Paulie eating a pack of Ketchup they found in a car, as they freeze their asses off: "Not bad, mix it with the relish."

[quote="Beast of the East" post=304460][quote="mjmaherjr" post=304412][quote="Beast of the East" post=304404]I hate when people in the middle row think they own the arm rest.

I hate people in front if me who recline their seats fully with no regard for the fact that their head is almost in my lap.

I hate how very obese men essentially take 1/3 of the seat on either side if them when they are in the middle row. At a certain size you should be forced to buy 2 seats[/quote] if the Karma button was still here I'd be giving you and 1996 +10000 on the airplane ones. What about the person who tries reclining their seat before the plane even takes off. No joke ask Nathalie it happens to me on almost every flight if I dont have emergency row of that first row with the wall in front. I move my knees into their seat when I see them about to do it and prevent them from moving it back all the way and make their lives miserable[/quote]

I do that too with my knees. I

Other tips: direct you air vent so it blows on their head full blast.

Start coughing. Dry cough if you are respectful and a productive cough if you are really pissed.

Grab the top of their seat when you get up to host yourself up. It's another one of my pet peeves, people who do that. Its annoying as hell, but a good weapon.

Other pet peeves

1. Its taken me over 30 years to amass 1.95 million miles on American, I automatically am in group 1, but it seems there are 8 groups in front of me.

2. Jet blue's crazy boarding system. I've flown them almost exclusively this year but almost always am in group D, except a few days ago when I was in group E.

3. Passengers in back rows who put their luggage in the overhead bin above my seat.

3. Late boarders who try to force their bag into the compartment where your stuff is. I've had 2 laptop screens cracked over the years this way.

4. Despite the fact that my tumi bag fits as packed into every single overhead bin, a few airlines enfirce it having to fit in that metal frame size. United does it, and American too. I wont fly either any more.

5. Delays where they don't tell you why there is a delay, then keep moving back the departure time.

6. Getting a delay text while you haven't departed yet for the airport, so you wait at home or in your hotel, only to have the airline change the departure time to earlier than the adjusted time.

7. Rude and curt flight attendants.

8. People who chat loudly the entire flight especially on evening or very early a.m. flights.

9. People with kids the size of baby elephants who use them as lap child.

10. Couples who ask if you'd like to change your aisle seat for a middle seat so they can sit together.

11. Seat kickers and parents who don't control their kids.

12 Passengers who engage in long conversations at service desks when they are arguing for something impossible to accomodate.

13. Getting stuck next to someone with very bad hygiene and a foul odor.

14. Hall monitors sitting next to you who tell you to shut your cell phone off. I had a guy who told me to do that as the plane landed and was nasty about it. So I told him to put his seat belt back on as we taxied to the gate. He got mad again, so I said to him, "oh, I see, rules are for everybody else just not for you.

I can go on[/quote] Great Tips in the beginning !!!

9,10,11 Drive me freaking nuts especially 11. Years ago was flying home from Copenhagen and had an insane kid seat kicker behind me yelling and kicking my seat for 3 hours or so into the flight and the parents did nothing. Finally I stood up and turned around and told her to control her damn kid and have him stop kicking my seat. She actually called the flight attendant over and tried blaming me and I actually thought I was going to get in trouble. Then all the sudden once she stopped talking everyone around erupted at her telling her she was ruining the flight for everyone etc and the flight attendant had to get over another flight attendant and they moved them to the back of the airplane. Ughhhhh and the kids the size of baby elephants !!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
 
Frosty the Snowman is great tv cartoon

Frosty Returns is absolutely unbearable
 
[quote="redken" post=304439][quote="Beast of the East" post=304410][quote="Class of 72" post=304409]Spocky Ramone is spamming the complaint thread with complaints!
Can we demote him to the Rookie Forum for making too many complaints?:p :p[/quote]

Is there a precedent for demoting a poster? Seems humiliating to me.[/quote]
Demoting him? He should be celebrated as our own Rodney Dangerfield. Think I can get him booked for two weeks in Vegas -- well, maybe not Vegas ... but somewhere in New Jersey, maybe the Badda Bing Club.[/quote]
I tell ya, it makes me crazy that I don’t get any respect. I went to go see Dr. Vinnie Boombatz, I told him nobody liked me. He said I was insufferable and obnoxious, and that there was no cure for that. I told him I wanted a second opinion. He said I was also an imbecile. I said I meant a second opinion from somebody else. His receptionist came in and told me I was ugly.

Trust me! I was there and it was anything but crowded. I spent a lot of time just playing with myself!:woohoo:

Breaking up the 86 Mets by not signing Ray Knight.
And trading Kevin “World” Mitchell because he would be a bad influence on Darryl and Doc - LOL!
Moving Jose Reyes to second to accommodate Kaz Matsui.
Moving Mike Piazza to first base.
Jason Bay, Jeromy Burnett, Kevin Appier, Mo Vaughn, George Foster.
Bernard Gilkey has a huge season. They allow him to film Men In Black, he gets hit in the head by that fly ball and is never the same.
Building a stadium that in no way, shape, or form plays to the strengths of your then HOF-bound team captain. In fact, it neutralized his offensive potency. Brilliant. But at least it reminds us of the team that bailed on NY, that makes it all better.
I remember the Mets’ first game at Ebbetts Field East. Mike Pelphrey was on the mound, Jody Gerut was leading off for the Milwaukee Beers. I kept thinking “Don’t give up a home run on the first pitch”. Big Pelph came through. He had the decency to not give up the homer until his third pitch.
Renegotiating Bobby Bo’s contract because they can make more money with Bernie Madoff. So now we get a yearly reminder of their buffoonery. At least it’s got a shelf life... only 17 more years to go.
They could have paid him 5.9 million, but instead will wind up paying him 29.8 million. Great negotiating there. Proof that superior ability in one area (in this case, real estate), doesn’t equate to competence in any other area. I could list all of those areas of insufficiency, but that will only exacerbate my rage.
Having to move the fences in after the initial season because, well, they botched it. Badly. Should have kept Shea. Shea was a dump. But it was OUR dump. And it was not without it’s charm. Plus, I could park at K2, quickly bang a right out of the parking lot, tear up Roosevelt Ave, and head for the LIE via College Point Blvd. Now they funnel you to the Northern (State or Blvd). Either way, bogus.
That @#$**%! Carlos Beltran (not a) foul ball, that taints Nohan’s No-No. I always knew their first no hitter would have some type of asterisk, I just figured it would be a run on no hits.
They allowed Jim Duquette to trade Scott Kazmir for Víctor Zambrano. Scintillating. From the font of all knowledge, Wikipedia:
“In 2003, he led the American League in walks, wild pitches, and hit batsmen, and in walks and wild pitches again in 2004, despite being traded to the National League at midseason“. What were they thinking? How can we suck both right now and for years to come? I know, trade our highly touted first round draft pick fireballer for a guy who is a proven train wreck. But, hey, he’s a switch hitter, the Rays don’t know what they’re giving up, he’ll give Rey Ordonez some much needed protection in the lineup.
Thor, The Dark Knight, Captain America. Cool nicknames that don’t keep you off the DL.
Why no love for Nolan Ryan? One of the most electric pitchers of all time. He’s got one WS ring, and it’s with the Miracle Mets. Why no accolades or special day? Not even one? Ever?
Vince Coleman and Brett Saberhagen. Their antics were embarrassing.
Trading away possible HOFer Jeff Kent because he wanted to play second, the Mets wanted him at third.

And what, you ask, is warming up in the bullpen? Let us speculate...
Botching a deal with Jacob deGrom
Trading away Noah Syndergaard to the Yankees for a bag of balls and the rights to sign Bernie Williams, should he decide to put the guitar down
Not spending money because they let David Wright suit up for a weekend and now they have to pay him.
Signing Bartolo to a 5 year contract. With a player option for another 3 years.

Less than 3 months to spring training!

Now you're pushing it a bit too far ... and I suspect you're going to start getting a number of third opinions -- ones that probably won't be complimentary. :(
 
[quote="mjmaherjr" post=304576]Frosty the Snowman is great tv cartoon

My complaint is that they used to pair Frosty with an 8:30 showing of "Frosty's Winter Wonderland," the one where he gets a wife and battles Jack Frost.

"Unbearable" might not be a strong enough word for Frosty Returns.

( I'll make exceptions if it's a hot chick singer if she wears a skimpy outfit )

Unless it's Bing Crosby or Burl Ives back from the dead I dont want them wasting tv space

I hate that 90% of iPhone users have the same ping notification when they get a text message. It drives me fucking nuts on trains and especially in the airport when I'm already moody[/quote]

I don't have an easy fix for the ping notification problem, but if you want to get back at them, here is a ringtone for you. Short and longer version:

I get pissed off because it is very hard to find March of the Wooden Soldiers on TV. I enjoy watching it from Barnabeys perspective!!!!!!
