Wading through Pinterest and click on the link to a project to see what it looks like and the only picture included with the written directions is a picture of the supplies of the project and one step shown in the same picture. No way to see what the finished project is actually supposed to look like, to know if I'm interested in trying this idea I was originally intrigued by. Seems to me a look at the finished product is key to craft project directions.

People who talk on speakerphone on their cellphone. I don't want to hear your conversation, your not that important. Or really loud so everyone has to hear what they say.

Never have I ever...
I don’t fly often, and thankfully never seen any of things posted on Passenger Shaming. Not any better than a Greyhound bus.

Just FYI: I have pretty severe back problems which are constantly challenged by flying—something I have to do every week. I’m one of those people who will set my carryon in a seat next to me because it means I have to bend less to access it while waiting. Bending less means less PAIN. Sorry if you think that makes me entitled.
FWIW, I will move it without side eye if the seat is needed by a person.
We are all just trying to get through life. Sometimes there are reasons for things that aren’t so obvious. I think giving people the benefit of the doubt and not assuming they are determined to deprive you of something is the better way to go through life.

Use your f*%#&#(*& turn signals! This! And don't get pissed at me when I turn right before you at the 3-way stop and you're turning left. Would've been nice to know.

I am asking this without snark...when is it that you can not select your seats when booking a flight. I know that is the case when you book the uber inexpensive, last to board, no carry on reservation. But the system lets you know that during booking. And of course with Southwest in which you need a good/low boarding number to hopefully get a good seat....but when else? (Maybe booking last minute?)

Sorry, but if you need specific seating, then you need to book through the airline and pick your seat. Otherwise you get what is left and don't expect me to move for you when I have paid the amount to chose my seat.

Kids are a different story. They need a responsible parent with them. I’m talking about married couples who complain when they can’t sit together. I know. I was just saying they split people up completely indiscriminately and we didn’t even have the option of choosing our seats when DH booked the tickets. what airline? I thought most of them let you pick for a fee

I don’t travel a lot, but I have heard too many terrible stories about switching seats to accommodate a traveling couple. Sorry, not sorry, but if you can’t be apart from each other for the duration of a flight, you need help. If you failed to plan properly to sit together, I am not switching unless it gets me a seat upgrade. And the lady next to you? I would have engaged in some self-help when the attendant mentioned the bin in the back by handing her the item under the seat in front of me. We have had situations where we were not offered the option of choosing our seats at booking and the airline split the three of us up including our young child. Sorry, but NO. That didn’t work for me at all and I refused to let my four or even eight year old child sit between two complete strangers for a 3+ hour flight when DH and I would be seated 2-4 rows away. That’s just asinine and completely unacceptable, especially since they know the ages of the passengers when you book the tickets. We made a stink so that one of us would be seated with our kid and someone did have to get moved. Sorry not sorry. It never used to be that way, you used to always be able to choose your seats when booking back in the day. Now you only get those privileges when you pay exponentially more for your seats. For what it's worth, the tickets that typically don't allow you to pick seats are the ultra economy seats that are the lowest cost. It is known when you purchase the tickets that you will not be allowed to pick your seat. If this is a concern of yours, perhaps buy tickets that allow you to pick your seat. The ONLY time I have ever not been able to pick my seat and it wasn't one of the economy cheap tickets was that I booked so late that the plane was nearly full. I was traveling solo so it didn't bother me, but something I would think about if I was traveling with the family. I've been on the side of being asked to move to accommodate a couple to sit together (again because they bought the cheap tickets) and I refused because it was a middle seat and I have to sit in the window due to motion sickness. I'm sorry, if I'm paying extra to have the seat I want, I'm not moving.

If I book to have a specific seat, I’m not going to move. Maybe if a child needs to sit with a parent, but really... book ahead parent.
I don’t usually care what seat I’m in. I’m short so middle seat is fine. But once, coming home from Reno, I had a middle seat between an older married couple. I offered to let them sit together but they insisted they needed the aisle & window seats. Well, ok, but they spent the entire flight talking to each other & passing stuff by me... what was the point? I was annoyed..

We were in a very long line of cars to see a Christmas drive thru light show. A car decided they did not need to wait in that long line and pulled ahead of us.
Line breaker's time must be so valuable!

I fly a decent amount and the people who kill me are the men who stick their elbows in my seat space. The armrest wars are one thing, but we’re talking people who elbow past the armrest and into your seating area.
I have had so many flights where for whatever reason a very small child of mine gets separated from me, even though I book the seats together ( eg, our first flight is late and makes us miss the connection). It’s embarrassing to have to ask airline personnel for help, but I have found that other passengers are a lot nicer to them if they ask if anyone is willing to switch seats.

I'm sorry, if I'm paying extra to have the seat I want, I'm not moving. It never used to be that way, you used to always be able to choose your seats for free. It had been several years since we had flown anywhere together and previous to that I was traveling for work and someone else always booked my tickets (and I was flying solo) so I just had to show up. I think the flight we got split up on was Sun Country and most of the plane is economy, and with some destinations that’s the only airline option from where we are. The next time we flew, DH tried to choose business class seats (different airline, which cost more but seat selection was allowed) and ended up in an exit row which we couldn’t do because DD is under 15. Which stupidly enough the airline’s website let him do even though it was known when we were booking that she was only 8 years old (FTR, I faulted him too because he should have known better). We solved the problem the time after that by flying first class. It ended up costing us around $400 more round trip but it was way less hassle all the way around. He said from now on we’re not screwing around with anything less than first class even if it costs a lot more. If it was just the two of us, we wouldn’t sweat being split up for a flight.

Dd and I always book the window/aisle in hope that no one will take the middle. But, if someone does we offer them the window and take the middle aisle.
I’ll switch seats as long as I still get my aisle seat with extra leg room. I fly enough that I’m almost always in Comfort + or an extra row at now extra cost. But, I won’t switch and take a middle, window or regular economy seat in return for my seat.

Every flight I am on says "this is a sold out flight, please place small items under the seat in front of you to leave the carry on space for the bigger bags.

I know this is my issue but it's a pet peeve of mine. I can't stand when women or men douse themselves with so much perfume or cologne that it smells as if they've taken a bath in it, and then end up seated next to me on a long flight. Happened last winter and this 99% of the time will trigger a migraine for me. It did on that flight. Why do people feel the need to do this and then be packed into a metal tube with other people packed in so tightly next to them for multiple hours? Have some respect for your fellow passengers who might have sensitivities to strong odors please. I feel ridiculous asking the flight attendent for a different seat based on this issue.
Honestly as bad as B.O. smells I'd rather smell that. At least it won't trigger a migraine.

I hate smelling people on a plane or at a show or at dinner. And I don't get migraines from it, but if can cause an allergic reaction.

I hate smelling people on a plane or at a show or at dinner. And I don't get migraines from it, but if can cause an allergic reaction. Yes, exactly-so much you can almost taste it! I didn't realize you could go noseblind. Is that when someone uses a scent so much they become neutralized to the scent so they have to use more and more of it to smell it and eventually they can barely smell it at all? If so maybe that's what's behind what I see as the trend to pile on vast amounts of perfume and cologne. In my day (boy do I sound old when I say that) I was taught when applying perfume to put a tiny dot behind each ear and on each wrist and that was plenty. If I couldn't smell it on myself than that was just right. I had to bring my wrist up to my nose to be able to smell it. What happens when you get an allergic reaction? Hives, difficulty breathing? I'm sure it's horrible for you too. I'm so sorry you are also effected by this issue. Last year my sister and I spent $200.00 each on tickets to see our favorite Italian composer/pianist give a concert and wouldn't you know it-who plopped down next to me but a young woman covered in perfume. When this happens I try to breathe through my mouth only which takes the enjoyment out of the concert because you have to focus to do this counciously for a long time. Half way through my sister agreed to switch seats with me and sit next to perfume lady. Luckily I didn't get a migraine that time and the concert was incredible.

My eyes become swollen and sometimes I can't see. I sneeze. I have trouble breathing. If I react badly, it can be 24 hours plus medication before I feel better.
Still better than ds. It can trigger an asthma attack for him

The flight attendant apologized for some reason when I sat down. I was super surprised and said, “Oh don’t apologize. I bought this seat last-minute; beggars can’t be choosers.” I’m still shocked she apologized without any reason or prompting by anything. It must be a common issue or something (complaints). Their job must be so stressful.

You can't drive home if you can't see! What a hassle it would make for you to have to call an Uber and leave your car there. And breathing-my gosh! Asthma is very difficult to and for an attack to be caused by something like this-so frustrating and unneccessary. I truly feel for you and your son.
