Loved results on a flight from Belize. About 10 family members in wheelchairs with kids pushing got to pre board using rear door from tarmac. Arrived in DFW to no de boarding to tarmac so ended up last off. Finally a little satisfaction.

The lofty idea that baseball teams don't use every available tool to win games is laughable. They ALL CHEAT. Full stop,
It's so idiotic to think they don't. It's baseball.
I lived in Houston for 12 years, still have many many friends there, and lots of family. I still visit multiple times per year. I was a big Astros fan since moving there in 2000, going to about a dozen games per year. It was always mildly annoying that the majority of self-proclaimed "real" Houston fans treated me like crap because I was from Dallas, and I was often told that I wasn't allowed to like "their" team. I even had a stranger pull and Astros hat off my head at a game and wave it in my face, because I was wearing a Cowboys jacket and apparently that is an unforgivable sin.
You didn't way which team, but I suspect it is the Astros. No bias there at all, because you certainly never see any bad behavior from fans in LA, Oakland, Philly, NY...just Astros fans.Eliminatus said:cupofjoe04 said:SteveBott said:

This is actually a good one for me. Touching my hat. I lose my ever loving ***** Even if it is just being cute. Like flicking it off my head or something. The idea of someone actually putting hands on my head to take it off and wave it? A complete stranger? Instant brawl.
And typical stro fan is just MLB tu T-shirt fan. Not even worth thinking about. Also, take note that only ONE team thread has a warning on it about excessive ****** behavior on the MLB board….

I've been to games in Denver, Minnesota, St. Louis and Kansas City. Houston is the only place I've seen fans go after fans minding their own business. Also saw their vendors refuse to serve someone food just because they were wearing an opposing teams jersey.

Good points of reference -- you always hear about the rowdies and hooliganism at places like Minneapolis, St. Louis and KC.

My near homicide story was on a US Airways Flight from Phoenix back to Dallas. I had been cancelled on twice trying to get out of Vegas and finally rerouted and it was near midnight.Quote:
What prompted this is that I got on a flight to Chicago on SWA. Only had two wheel chairs which was a miracle. But we had about 10 others that were PBRD. Preboard. A couple looked mildly incapacitated - but damn
One of the guys was a 6'6" healthy individual. Just pay the extra money and get the exit row. Is it not worth the shame? He was the first one on the plane. When you walk on the plane and they are sitting in the aisle on the first row - they look at you with that look - I'm a worthless piece of **** but I got the aisle up front.
That's a group of people that shouldn't be allowed to vote.
I guess it is possible, unless there was some other reason why the person wasn't getting served. Because like I said, there are 100s if not 1000s of opposing carpet-bagger fans at every home game. It would be hard to refuse to serve based on a jersey when there are so many. And also hard to find that Aramark employee who gives a f who they serve or knows who the Astros are playing.DatTallArchitect said:

Omg - I had an assistant once who when I had a friend stop by the office he showed me a picture of his new grandchild (mind you one and only one picture). He asked to see a recent picture of my family and I showed him one and only one. My assistant comes in with her iPad, interrupts us, and starts to show pictures of not her dog but of her daughter's dog - and she shows us like 25 pictures of it doing everything but going number 2.jja79 said:And people with no kids who insist on showing pictures of their dog/cat/lizard when someone shows a picture of their kid/grandkid doing something special.SteveBott said:

It's 2023 - why do I have to hand fill out 3 or 4 forms that have the exact same information on it, just in different places?

It was always super important on SWA boys trips to Vegas or golf that at least one person got a low number to secure the "hot tub" section (emergency rows facing each other). It was a sad day when SWA got rid of it because of the "disproportionate amount of drunken buffoonery occurring there" (flight attendant's words).Burdizzo said:INIGO MONTOYA said:

I flew out of Love Field once in the 1990s. Back then SWA still used the plastic boarding passes. The earlier you got to the gate, the lower the number on your boarding pass, and the earlier you could board. I got to the gate super early thinking I would get the first boarding pass. Nope, I got No. 15 or something like that. When it came time to board, Kay Bailey Hutchinson and one of her lackies showed up out of nowhere with passes 1 and 2.
No First Class seating, my ass.
