When responding to someone who called me “hon,” I will say sweetie if I please.

Make no mistake, "hon" is gross also. Please stop it, both of you.

Thread policing and tone policing are also gross. Reflect on that. If you don’t like the conversation, you are free to move on with your day.

Nope! You're a pig, and you need to hear it. Reflect on that. If you don’t like the conversation, you are free to move on with your day.

Look at the hypocrisy: “Sweetie” and “hon” or not OK, but “pig” is. Got it. Massive hypocrite.

Yes, pig is OK when someone acts like one. Just like racist is OK when someone acts like one and jerk is OK when someone acts like one. Sweetie is said to be sexist and condescending as is hon.

I gather that you understand these not subtle nuances and points, but you are ignoring them because you don’t like the reflection.

It’s OK to sit in your hypocrisy and reflect. You can admit that you allowed yourself to get so worked up, that you resorted to name-calling, even as you were bashing others for name-calling. If you can’t admit that, you have no capacity for self-reflection or growth. You know I’m right, and that is what bothers you so deeply.

So you can pay to carry on.

Just try to take less than 5 minutes to get out of your seat, remember where you left your bag, struggle to haul it down, figure out how to extend the handle, and get moving.

Everyone behind you is waiting…

I'm a57 yr old female. I always know exactly where I put my bad. It takes about 6 seconds or less to grab it and get moving. Never ever in my life have I seen a person take more than 20 seconds!!

It’s the geniuses who put their bags several rows behind them because their bin was full. You always put it in front of you, never behind.

Didnt bash you for name calling. Bashed you for being a sexist pig.

These things are NOT equivalent.

Well, if people didn't crowd the gates, they would stop using it. That's never going to happen.

Yet people are laying them flat, horizontally, thereby taking up the space that could be used for three bags. Amazing. I wish the flight attendant would be able to ask people to set their bags in correctly but that would take even more time during boarding.

Remember that the flight attendants aren't even being paid during boarding.

All the more reason they should hustle to get the flight boarded and get in the air.

DP.

Snort.

Will that make them any MORE $$$?

No.

Why on earth would an FA do that?

They take an unbelievable amount of crap from rude and clueless passengers. I'm routinely astonished at how polite and helpful most of them are given customer behavior.

I have flown extensively, domestically and internationally, and I 100% have seen and partaken in a lot more passengers-helping-passengers, passengers-being-great, than I have seen and experienced flight attendants helping. When an obviously pregnant woman gets an eye-roll, when an elderly woman is flat-out refused help, there is simply no excuse. None.

You realize that not only are they not being paid during boarding, but they aren't covered by insurance -- not workman's comp if they pull a shoulder, not liability insurance if a bag they are lifting breaks a handle and falls on someone? None of it.

Fellow passengers also aren’t covered. And yet, they help. Because they are good people who want not only what’s best for their fellow passengers, but they want to get the flight off the ground.

Sure, they can offer, but they are free not to offer, too. Do you think you can order a specific passenger to handle your bags for you, and then get pissy when they don't? Shame on you.

Not their job. Also not the FA's job -- they are not working on the clock until after boarding completed.

It's fine, it refers to people who participate in an action, not an identity group. I think gate lice behavior is fairly evenly distributed throughout the various races/classes/genders/sexual orientations.
