Even dafter are the ones doing it who have kids with them. We sat within earshot and eyeline of the gate with our 2 kids - at a table in a bar area, letting the kids draw and colour in while we sipped a couple of beers. Meanwhile the poor kids standing in a queue for 20 mins are going mental and getting grief for it ! Mental. When the girls at the desk were ready the first thing they did was ask anyone with kids/special needs to board first. . One that did raise my eyebrow (and got some questions asked/shouted from the queue) was the family party of 6 adults with one child who ALL came to the front.......... really that is taking piss I notice that all the family's who "struggle" get on a plane, manage fine to get off the plane 1st without any priority although i noticed in Barcelona all the families who were accustomed to getting on 1st, were told to get in line behind the frequent flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a little bit of attention you will notice there is a pattern to arrivals and departures. I work 3 different rotas and barely know what day I am on never mind what platform the train arrives at. The return journey used to be narrowed down to platforms 13-15 but they now sneakily stick in the odd train from platform 6 which is like a foreign country to us on the West Coast line. The train doors not opening is the most annoying thing though . 10 minutes of listening to this: https://www.soundsnap.com/tags/train_doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport do's and don'ts should be taught in school and a pass mark achieved before being allowed to fly. this completely. one of my life long bug bears. If those people just stood back from the belt them everyone would be able to move forward and get their cases off far more easily. does my head in!! and then folk get annoyed when you ask them to move so you can get to your case!

Aye, they don't seem to care that you can barely squeeze through to get your case, because they were there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Folk that can't do anything without being on their phone. They wander about in their own wee world where the most important thing is swiping away at a 4inch screen. They do it driving, they do it walking, they do it eating, they even do it in the bog. I've seen folk sacked at work. "Put the phone away or you're out the door" They chose the door rather than put the phone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What world do you live in. That's the whole point that we are trying to make - did you completely miss that? If everyone stood back then it would all be a lot easier - but you are right , they don't. Unfortunately I live in the same world as a lot of wee whanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapofGlencoe Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 kids being given ipads as toys are up there too. There's something not right about it. They should be out playing, not looking at screens all the time. No tin-hatter but I'm not convinced all side effects of carrying electronic devices constantly around your person has been completely understood either. For mental or physical health.

Very rarely use the train (as many of you who kept me company on my 4 hour journey back and fro from Edinburgh may understand) but I used to love the tramp who wandered on and off trains shouting about how bad they were then told the passengers he was on the board of the train company and we could pass our complaints to him. I always took the opportunity to moan to him, sometimes about the 3am Saturday bus sometimes about my jobs and every now and then about the actual train. Never understood people who ignored him, he usually asked for 50p at the end of your complaint but find me a psychiatrist or counsellor for 50p nowadays.
