My pet peeve of the Week ...

[Betallsports]

So I'm on a plane yesterday ... Jetblue, heading to Florida
There's 37 Wheelchairs .... They are Always the FIRST to board the Plane...

Land in Florida and Only 10 of the 37 Need Wheelchairs !! to get off the plane.

I see this one women who had a Wheelchair in NY, she looked like she really needed help... BUT ... when we landed in FL ... she was carryinga
Backpack twice the size as my carry-on !!!

I HATE these Fuking people !

They use the wheelchair because they get to board the plane First, but once they get to where their going... It's a Miracle !! :bigfinger

Serious question as your instance would anger me as well. I fly often but never understood why you want to be first on the plane? I want to be the last damn person on the plane (unless flying southwest).

agree, that is terrible...I even hate how many damn Handicap parking spaces there are "per capita" in a parking lot. My Mom uses one and I understand the need for the spaces but makes no sense the % that are reserved for that in some places

First class boards first and you get a drink. Most people thought I was foolish to use my miles for upgrades instead of a free ticket.

 

[wizardofodd]

agree, hate that and ppl with the handicap sticker/tag but are walking perfectly fine.

Because you get your carry-on in the overhead bin...

Since Most Airlines charge for baggage, they try to bring Bigger carry-ons , so you have less room
the gate people are some times good and spot these oversized bags, or more than the one allowed, but it's been getting tighter lately

Agreed UNLESS you have a big carryon to stow on a full flight

 

[FearTheRaven]

Yep. That really grinds my gears. I pay for an upgraded ticket and 15-20 people get on the plane before me.

JetBlue has no First class .... Extra Leg room is after Wheelchairs
well actually they have an Upper class ( mosaic ) I need to get that... it's my next step

 

[Willie99]

I love it when people with handicapped parking permits look fit and healthy and walk without so much as a limp

they're entitled I suppose, they're better than us

I used to fly alot and had my airline mileage cards and all that. It pays to get in every program possible imo. I dont think the airlines are as generous as they used to be. And the carry on thing is horrible if you are one of the last on. Ever open the bin and had a person crap fall on there head? I have! Made for zero conversation lmao

I check bags every time so I understand that point I guess. The best part is when I have a small bag and don't check, if I go last even if I have a selected seat they will check my bag for free for the fear there might not be room. Win Win there.

Yeah as long as you already have checked bags.

since it's my 2nd home, we travel multiple times with just carry-ons
so I don't want to check them. Get off the plane and get out of there..

For me, I hate when I hook up with a really hot chick and when I go down stairs she has serious odor problems in the nether regions. I find it very difficult to maintain a ten pin when punched in the face with the odor of a rotting carcass in summer swamp water. Thoughts......:105084828uke1:

You can't always tell just by seeing them walk. I've got kidney disease and am on dialysis and my nephrologist wrote me a script for a handicap parking sticker ,but you couldn't tell Ive got any problems from watching me walk.

...but yes those people piss me off.

 

[HotRocks]

37 wheelchairs????

I would have flipped out and definitely called them out when they were getting off the plane

And as for the handicap spaces? Parking Mobility: the #1 app to report disabled parking abuse. When you see a vehicle parked illegally, simply launch Parking Mobility, take 3 photos and submit. We tell the city and they ticket the vehicle’s owner.

Good article:
