Pull their shit back and put it in the aisle.

I think it’s being lumped in all together. When I personally say I hate when people take their shoes off on flights, it falls into a couple buckets.

By the same token, aren’t I paying for the room in front of me? Why would someone’s reclining take precedence over the space I also paid for?

I don’t recline my seat because it would intrude into the space of the person behind me. That would be rude, and would make me an asshole. People can sit up like grownups. Nobody sitting in front of me can recline anyways, so it’s a moot point for me. Now if only we could toss people who watch movies/listen to music…

A coworker has removable legs - after knowing him for years I asked if it makes flying on a plane better or worse. He laughed so hard I felt dumb for waiting for years to ask. He said flying is always a PITA no matter what, and the legs don’t pop on/pop off as easily as I thought. He said if he took them off he’d just…

Planes are getting ridiculous. Sounds like you might be tall too - have you sat next to one of the “ribs” of the plane? My shoulders are already well wider than the seats and sitting next to one of those ribs meant I was pushed over into the seat next to me for a 7 hour flight (luckily it was my wife).

You can usually spot a “recliner” passenger as they’re boarding. Back in the days when there was room to do so, if one sat in front of me I’d proactively cross my legs so their seat couldn’t recline. After 10-15 minutes of trying they’d give up. 

Right? Jeez, grow a set and ask them to compromise my reclining a little less. Instead of “oh my god, can you *please* not recline your seat?” in a bitchy voice, maybe “Excuse me, I’m pretty tall and with your seat reclined that far I can’t really breathe/move, can you bump it up a notch or two?”.

Can you do text versions too? I think a lot of us skip the videos but will spend the time to read an article. 

“Hey, any ideas how we could possibly make our vehicles less reliable?” “Hang on, I have an idea!”

People would be more interested if it was a Toyota Supra.

Why is walking to your car such a big deal?

Yeah sorry, started that paragraph in my head and didn’t translate it all onto the page :P

Then negatives, in my experience, are that it makes it impossible to financially incentivize workers that go above and beyond (so they stop doing so), and it makes it hard to punish or terminate people that drag the entire team down. so-and-so about to be fired for never being on time, or can’t ever find them, or work…

Ah, the way that’s mitigated here (in some states) is by the state.

I guess potentially unpopular view, but in my experience it’s made it harder to thank/incentivize good workers and get rid of poor performers. I don’t object to the idea of unions overall, but it *does* afford too many protections to some people that are not carrying their weight. Workers that do little work while on…

I lament a future where we have to deal with weird looking little electric econo boxes zipping around blasting kanye tracks as engine noise.

Losing the ability to just head off into the canyons and spend hours driving around the middle of nowhere is kinda a bummer for me. I’m all for an electric car to drive to work and stuff (maybe even autonomous?) but ever since I lost the ability to ride a motorcycle, blitzing around the canyons in a small turbo car is…

How does it sound?

You swing your head around in circles to make sure your neck still works properly, right?
