That you put the T on the 2nd syllable and not the 3rd.

POOT as in OOT, ldo

What on earth do things sound like in your world?

LOL

When I tried to sneak into Rogue One on $6 tuesday I had the wrong glasses. How many types of 3D are there?

Some carousels literally have mouthbreathers pressed up against it for the entire length. I definitely always go to a clear area and wait a few feet back from the carousel if available.

Position at the carousel is not a line or queue. You do not get your bag any faster by making people go further down the belt path, you only make it more difficult for them for no reason except air travel reducing normal levels of consideration for others.

I'll get my baggage before you do.

Just one, are you saying these didn't work?

You get your bag in the order it comes off the plane and on to the belt. You can't and won't get it faster than it appears even if you block me from getting mine.

Look I can accept that you have never thought this through before and actually believed you were getting your bag sooner this way, and that's fine. But there is no defense of continuing the behavior now that you have been exposed to the logic.

Johnny,

If he is positioned where they come out and you are positioned 10 bag lengths down the carousel, he'll get his bag first if yours is first off and his is fifth.

People who drive aggressively through traffic because "they are a good driver" but don't realize or maybe just don't care that traffic jams are caused by exactly their "good" style of driving

People who say "well my crash disaster EV is lower than the worst 5%" as a justification for not driving more defensively and efficiently than their dumbass constant gas to brake routine that makes EVERYONE get their slower

I know you are too smart to be serious, but I have had a frustrating day of pretending people who are wrong are right so I'm indulging.

He will get his bag at the same time even if he stands back 3 ft and lets me get my bag first. If I wait at the end of the belt, or go take a long **** and let my bag ride around 15 orbits, or miss my connection and am stuck at lax and my bag goes on without me, gets unloaded and goes round and round until they take it off and pile it with unclaimed, he gets his bag no sooner or later.

I mean ****, maybe if he grabs my bag and heaves it onto the center platform he will get his bag way sooner than me and be first on the shuttle to the ****ing parking lot!!1!

Fwiw I live less than 15 minutes from the airport so I'm still getting home before him. Check.

So you're saying instead of picking a spot on the edge of the carousel and waiting for my luggage, I stand 3ft back from the edge and then dart in and grab my luggage, throwing NBA elbows and whatnot I'll have a better luggage retrieving experience? That seems pretty unlikely and pretty tilting. You should fly into nicer airports.

if no one is crowding the edge, no elbows need be thrown. the person whose bag comes up leisurely walks up and picks their bag off the conveyor easily, without slackjawed yokels in the way.

You can always rely on the kindness of strangers. Particularly after they've been stuck in airplane for several hours...

Nicer airports? Whatever airports you are flying into that are nicer than mine apparently have a chance of meeting you in them at the baggage claim leg humping the idiot next to you who just can't make sense of this crazy situation because you just got off an airplane.

I don't elbow, but if I can see my bag through the gaps left by you and your ilk I will loudly say excuse me and get my ****ing bag. Easy game.

Do you stand in the way of the opening doors on the train or elevator when entering before people get off? Same exact benefit.

I feel more sorry for the morons crowding around craning their necks with no understanding that every single bag that passes them before theirs arrives is being blocked by their lack of awareness of the situation than I do for myself at this point. It's like watching turkeys bang into each other to make sure they get fed when they always get fed enough every day but are too dim to understand it.

Again, you do not get you bag faster or get home any quicker by making other people wait longer. You don't. Still don't. No matter how much you feel like you do you don't.

I will once again submit that you were just being mindless and never thought this through before, as evidence by thinking it was a queue that you were first in then thinking me getting my bag later equates to you get yours sooner. That's fine. I have done that lots of times. In fact I may have even crowded the carousel when I was younger before I realized it was a dumb thing to do. **** maybe someone told me, I don't remember. But now you are woke. So quit it, because if you still decide to do this you will be doing so with the knowledge that all you are accomplishing is making other people wait for no ****ing reason except you like to stand close to the hole.

Pretty solid rant right there

Good one!

People who press both buttons on a elevator, press the up arrow if going up..........how fkn hard is that, also if the button is lit someone else pressed it you don't have to do it again.

Related, if someone hits the up button, and the next elevator that opens up didn't ding or light up above it, but the person attempts to step on and/or asks if it's going up. Clearly it's going down, or it would've informed you with a light/sound if it were for you, dumbass.

suckers who check bags don't piss me off, bless their hearts

I have a lot of liquids and lotions, pal.

I don't think this is universally true. I used to work in a building where an elevator could reverse direction without dinging. Here's what would happen, as I understood it:

* Empty elevator currently on 1st floor

* Two people on the 5th floor call the elevator, one person wants to go up, the other person wants to go down, so both buttons are pressed

* Elevator goes up to 5th floor and will continue to go up, assuming the "up" person pushes a button for a higher floor

* Dumbass "up" person gets in the elevator and realizes he didn't actually want to go up, and then pushes a lower floor button. Because there are no higher floors calling the elevator, elevator goes into down mode.

* Elevator closes the door and goes down, without ever dinging the change in direction. "Down" person, the only non-dumbass in the story, is filled with rage and must now recall the elevator.

Random aside, I used to live in a condo building where double-pressing an already-lit button would turn it off. I feel like that was a pretty optimal feature, but it doesn't seem to be standard.

99.9% of the time in that spot if the "up" person doesn't push a higher floor and there are no other calls from higher floors the door will reopen and it will ding again, now with the down indicator lit.
