Hardly. Guess you're okay with trolls deriding people here, and think defending yourself is wrong. By the way, I'm into women, so your comment is another assumption, and you should have remembered what I've said here about myself seeing your comment on me was off base.

Where is the 'yawn' emoji when you need one?

Talking of assumptions, you have made one in that I pay attention to what you have said about yourself previously. To clarify, I don't.

If you haven't paid attention, why bother making such a statement? Look at what you wrote and think. Assuming I'm an old mincer. Wanting to give me the finger means you must have paid attention to something I've said, and took it the wrong way, as again, I get along with most everyone, especially after they meet me in person. The only thing I'm guilty of here is feeding the trolls too long, which I've curtailed, even if I had good reason to call them out and defend my position at times. You're here long enough to know what I'm talking about.

Boy's Boy's if you want to have a spat do it im a pm don't spoil the thread.

Then you’ve got the crop dusters. Those disgusting pigs who walk slowly down the aisle farting like they’re marking territory.

Which airlines do you fly with?

Iv'e flown Etihad, Gulf, Emirates, Qatar, and Thai.

Maybe a little OT but I was once traveling out of Bangkok for a connection to US and on the Hong Kong flight, I was sitting in emergency row with a crew bench facing opposite.

A seat mate of mine was really giving a hard time to the very attractive female flight attendant sitting opposite us during taxi and take-off. She was getting a bit unnerved when he finally asked: What country are you from?

She glared at him and turned her Thai flag pin 90 degrees and said: FRANCE

That would be okay, as the only people I haven't gotten along with in all my years have been either diagnosed with a mental illness or are showing most if not all of the symptoms of one.

And your assumption of being in a higher class also shows your type, so thank you for pointing that out also.

Seeing I've always been straight here about telling the truth, not going by opinions and always using facts and personal experience, that also shows how you see me, which doesn't fare well for you either. That comment about kids further tells your story. I avoid toxic people as much as I can, so sitting away from you would be to my advantage. Strike three and out.

So all of your exes were diagnosed? By whom? By you I guess 😊 I guess you have also diagnosed all of the other people that you don't get along with. 😊 How about yourself? If those people were diagnosed with mental illness, then why are you responding to them? Do you think they will get better by your 'losing it'?

Ironic that you've been triggered by someone claiming to fly in a higher class, when it's you who has posted so often about being levels above others. I suspect that is exactly why @Keeps posted that. Knowing that you couldn't resist.

No need for you to reply, as you claimed to have curtailed that behaviour and we don't need to see any more histrionics. Instead, just enjoy your day.

Getting back to pet hates, I couldn't think of any, until @richard_smith237 mentioned the crowding of the carousels on collecting luggage. 😊

I hate it when the pilot and copilot are blind drunk......

This actually happened. Waiting in line to have the boarding pass/passport checked and boarding the aircraft. Two Chinese women pretending to be talking but sneaking down the line to the front. They were doing it really slowly so as not to be noticed. They thought. Some choice words from me froze them but they kept trying to edge to the front. Eventually, in a very loud voice so the airline people could hear, "Get the heck (something like that) to the back of the line and stop trying to sneak to the front!"

Actually yes, three were diagnosed. I have gotten along with almost everyone I've come across, meaning thousands of people, and never had any more than an occasional argument with any of them, including friends I've had for up to 50 years. I still have all the friends I was close with from high school days.

This ex here , like you, is blatantly obvious with her symptoms, and her behavior both before and after she met me is exactly the same. She's abusive to not only her own family, but her friends and children, along with myself. Funny she still wants to be back with me, asking to friend my on FB messenger, adding I Love You with it. Yes, she's married, and hit on me the day before she was married, in front of our daughter, along with a day ago when she dropped our daughter off at my home. I stay away from toxic people as much as I can, besides my ex here, s we have a child together.

I have never posted about being above anyone, rather it's you that's said it numerous times, in this and a couple of other names you've used, so there's that deflection again.

Again, try posting ONCE without adding a shot against my behavior, even though I know it's hard to for, being triggered all the time by those who have called you out on your behavior here, along with you're acting superior, when in fact again, you're nothing of the sort.

Yes, stick to the topic, instead of acting like that teen angst, because we're not your daddy or mommy.

Three of your ex partners were diagnosed?? That's a high number, isn't it? Almost unbelievable. How many members here have had three of their ex-partners diagnosed with mental illness? You certainly pick 'em. Birds of a feather?

How about yourself? If you suggest that you were all clear, I simply won't believe you.

I imagine that my posts are quite rational. Based on evidence, rather than my own emotions.

I don't think that you can find even a single post where I have suggested than I am above anyone, whereas you are infamous for just that. Having the most experience... No one having ever met anyone like you... Maybe it was an autopen writing it.

Anyway, let's forget about it, as you seem blind to your own behaviour , so there's no point in me further drawing attention to it. You already know my what I think about your behaviour and performances here.

Instead I'll go back to take a look at your long haul pet hates in order to stay on-topic.

Not birds of a feather, unless you're talking about you and them lumped into that category. Yes, I actually had two psychologicals done when I was going for custody of my children, and did fine. Euthymic and Neurotypical, while one ex has depressive tendencies and separation- anxiety disorder, who I took custody from, and the other who gave me our daughter was depressive tendencies and suicidal tendencies in her psychological, which I saw, as she gave it to me seeing if I could help her.

If we looked at all your posts, in all of your aliases, we would certainly see at least 4 times you said you were above the others you were conversing with, not worth your time was the words I believe once.

I'm hardly blind to my own behavior, as a person who reads up on psychology for 30 years has quite a bit of internal thinking going on, which helps with seeing others for how they really are, and less of how they try to appear to others. Kinda like I saw here with you from the beginning, and has been further proven over time.

Guess you don't realize that just changing your usernames so many times, trying to hide and still act the same way, is evidence of a mental problem. Blind to your own behavior maybe, but I'm thinking it's quite deliberate.

Again, stick to the OP here, as wasting time calling you out gets old. You see, even though you seem to have a modicum of intelligence, you are nowhere near my league, which is why I'm always a step ahead of your thinking, and know full well why you keep coming back, and it's embarrassing for you to do so, as you al;ways return to the exact same replies, which shows a lack of restraint and a low amount of material to work with.

Still haven't managed to curtail your urges I see.

I didn't bother to read your long winded story. I hope you don't mind.

Thought i'd start a light hearted thread away from the war in Iran. On long haul flights what are our members pet hates. Flying from the UK I mainly fly with Arabic Airlines my hate is Arabs letting there kids scream there heads off when your trying to get your head down. Another is being held up in the Aisle because some idiot has took on a hand luggage case bigger than your case you put in the hold and he farts about trying to put it in the over head storage.

Constant announcements over the audio system pre take-off until a few minutes into the flight before the "entertainment" system is booted and you can watch a film. About 30 minutes before landing, more interruptions over the media system telling you things you don't need to know or can find out via the "entertainment" system.

'Tards in front dropping their seat back, as if it makes it easier to sleep.

I also thought the title involved hatred of pets by airlines.

I think most people glaze over when they see your posts.

Thanks by not interested in YouTube movie links. A bit too vacant and childish for me. But it seems that you obviously get great pleasure from them, so don't let me stop you.

I hate it when the person in front of me inconsiderately reclines their seat back, trespassing into my space as they attempt to establish dominance. I also hate it when the person behind me acts like a whiney little wimp and gets sassy simply because I've reclined my seat back, which I have every right to do.

Any flight over 4 hours & I don’t fly economy so don’t worry about most of the problems already mentioned but it p155es me off when the IFE is crap.

Nowadays I download a few YT vids (shout out to Cracking the Cryptic) & Netflix shows.

My next long haul is with Hainan (special thanks to the orange man baby for 4cking my Qatar flights up)… and I will be downloading extra shows 👍🏻

My hate is with all those drunk westerners who start talking loud enough for the plane to hear with those unbearable US or UK accents.

Long ot short haul

I get utterly furious as 99% of the time I'm in an aisle seat when absolute cretins have a bag slung over one shoulder which proceeds to whack every passenger already seated till he gets to his seat as it swings around

I had a right pop at a cretin on Thai long haul last year who did it and a flight attendant got involved....I knew to immediately shut up but its absolute pig ignorance from these passengers

Having to sit for up to 12 hours international. You watch three movies and are still only half way there. Once in a blue moon you'll have all three seats so you can lie dawn, or at least 2 to stretch out a little.

Someone who's coughing and sneezing through the whole trip, and ending up with a cold because of it. Having to wait for the "elite" to board the plane when everyone has to get on anyway, which should be the back to the front anyway.

Yep, the coughing and sneezing really are very annoying and worrying indeed. Sadly, more often than not, on flights, there seems to be at least 1 person near me who is coughing or sneezing often. That is actually my biggest pet hate, along with bad odor. Fortunately, I have been lucky with the latter, except on 1 occasion. Having an annoying, troublemaker kind of person sitting next to me is another one, but I have been totally lucky with that. In fact, in the so many long flights I have had, I haven't witnessed even a single fight or even a serious, long argument around me fortunately.

Obviously not you, since you read my post and replied to it 😊

I'm glad that flying to and from the US I don't have to put up with all the foreign tourists. Oh we get a few, don't get me wrong.

Was a time when you wanted wine they gave you a small bottle, now it's a thimble full in a small glass. Even the upgrade to premium economy doesn't get you better service any longer. I know, I know fly business class....but I really can't see paying that much money.

Another dislike is the limited number of toilets aboard.
