No surprise, right? Spirit Airlines, time and again, gets called out as the worst of the worst airlines, thanks to outrageous fees and customer horror stories. The numbers don't lie here either. In addition to being the only domestic airline rated 2 out of 5 by Skytrax for airline experience, Spirit was only on-time…

United Airlines only rises above the other airlines at the bottom for its slightly lower total additional fees. Otherwise, United actually fares a bit worse than American Airlines when it comes to on-time performance, with 2% of its flights canceled or diverted (the average for the airlines is 1%). Overall customer…

If we were able to incorporate ACSI scores in the total (we didn't because ACSI only gives one average score for many of the smaller airlines), Frontier Airlines might have been rated worse than American, United, and US Air. Not only does Frontier have sub-par on-time performance, The Department of Transportations'…

JetBlue edges out Southwest with its 4 out of 5 stars rating for airline experience from Skytrax—matched only by Virgin America for this award. Otherwise, JetBlue is neck and neck with Southwest for on-time performance (read: it can use some work), but total additional fees are a bit higher and are destined to…

I take the subway every day. If I saw someone sitting like that, especially with the plastic bag with what looks like more plastic bags in it at his feet, I would chalk it up to mental illness and move on.

The title made me think that the Catholic Church really is changing under Pope Francis.

So, the Victorians are basically us.

Granted it was at the Atlantic Avenue LIRR station in Brooklyn. One really wants to wipe off everything there.

Can't restaurants refuse to serve people who do this? I mean it is cutting into the profits. I just saw a women in McDonalds with the amount of napkins one would buy in a package next to her one cup of coffee. It was clear she was going there, buying a cup of coffee, and basically stealing napkins to take home with…

Does this butt make my butt look big?

I love Liza. But I am hoping she disavows this soon.

Liza has dealt with addiction issues herself. One would think she would not be making a joke out of someone else's problems. I'm sincerely disappointed in her.

Was this test shown to correlate with desired personality traits in peer reviewed articles in respected psychology journals. Or did you just make it up?

No, it's deceptive. I think I would rather work for a company which did not set out to trick me. You don't "fully" agree? Does that mean you "partly" agree ? Even the words you use are not very clear or straightforward.

How fast you ate? Do you pepper your soup? Is this a "Are you a WASP test?" I mean, it was the 60s.

I would not offer to clean up someone else's trash. I am not that much of a sycophant. Self-respect is also a factor here. Namely, I think a company would want to hire someone who has a healthy degree of self-respect and I would prefer to work for such an organization.

It being England and all, they are probably all going on the dole.

I was the first troll. At some point in the 1980s I went on to a listserv devoted to Derrida and asked them to please give me a one sentence explanation of deconstruction.

This is extremely sad. My sympathies to his family and those who knew him personally.

The English love this stuff don't they. Dr. Who, Tolkien, Harry Potter, C.S. Lewis' Narnia books. Fantasies about spiritual powers and cosmic struggles between good and evil. I think it's their Druid background coming through. The English remain Druids underneath. Gardens too, and Merlin.
