That's not the point.

My points all along have been as follows.......

1) When you consider and claim breastmilk the equivelent of feces and urine. That's not an opinion. That's a HUGE, flawed and fundamentally incorrect misconception and a HUGE irrationality. There's nothing factual, there.

2) Now, you keep chirping about being challenged for your "opinion" and you insinuate you're being crucified for your opinion. Yet you have no problem dealing out harsh criticism, harsh words and slamming other people. "Fat" or obese people being just one example.

3) At best, in your mind, you're completely content dishing it out. But you wither and cry foul when the target of criticsim....is you.

4) Don't dish it out, if you can't take it.

5) Opinion forums include all kinds of opinions. Including opinions which challenge your opinions and at times....request some clarity. Deal with it.

you all need to get off your high horse.
Please. Let's not talk about high-horses, here. You've been riding and galloping your high horse all over the place, across these forums. And you rode high and proud in the saddle, till you were challenged with the same critical eye, you yourself love to wield around.

Let's not be hypocritical.

OK, ok, ok...that's it !
People.....back on topic, PLEASE!

The past pages have revolved around nothing but: Boobs, breastfeeding, urine, feces, obese people...etc.
That's an airplane "pet peeve" ?
How about "real pet peeves", affecting everyone ?
Like rude service, delays, old planes........
People are people, and some do, what they want to do. (Whether anyone likes it....or NOT!)
If a person can't, or won't, put up with someone else and their (sometimes maybe quirky) individuality....well, either don't go out to a public place and especially don't fly anymore.
It's called compassion and tolerance !
ESPECIALLY, when sitting almost on another passengers lap right next to you, in such a confined space.

Back on topic please, minding City-Data's ToS (Terms of Service), Rules and Guidelines !

You are welcome to your opinion and views, but IMHO there is no reason to be so hateful.
Isn't there a way to be more constructive?

How about this one- you're trying to get some sleep on a red eye flight and the blooming announcement comes on to tell you whatever and now you're wide awake.

Grrrrrr!

I have numerous pet peeves when it comes to flying, here are just a few....

People who stand in the security line for 20 mins listening to the instructions being repeated again and again over the speaker system, walking past all the signs that give you instructions and then get to the xray machine and don't take their shoes off, don't get there laptops out and try to go through with 5 gallons of shampoo in their bag.

People who think I want to breathe in their gas on an airplane - please just go to the bathroom.

People who do that throat mucus sniff thing, makes me want to vomit.

People that bring on tons of bags, if you have to bring so much stuff check it, if you don't want to check it, don't bring so much!

I dislike people who are rude to the cabin crew, I suppose I just dislike rude people in general.

20 minutes? I've never waited 20 minutes at my airport. And the other airports I've been to don't have anything on loop. There is a sign, but I can't see most of it since it's at the END of security. Who's the genius behind that one?

I don't fly much and the rules seem to change every time I go to the airport. And it depends on the person checking your stuff.

Taking your shoes off and dragging your laptop out is a HUGE pain in the arse! There's no where to take your shoes off and put them back on. And god only knows what's on the airport floor that you are walking barefoot in. YUCK!

Our airports were NEVER designed to have these huge security areas and most of them are such crap. It's ridiculous. And it doesn't stop people at all.People still bring things on the plane that they're not supposed to.
