Stuff People Do

[Renegade]

What are things people do that you just don't understand? I was looking at P&B a minute ago and one of the things folk do that I don't undrrtsand if clapping at the end of flights. Why? I've been on quite a few long haul flights and I've had the erge to applaud at the end. After all it's the onboard computer that controls the plane most of the time anyway. Does anyone else know of stuff people do, that you just don't understand?

I don't understand your post. I take it you mean urge? I also presume you meant you did not feel inclined to clap. If you are making these statements, make them easier to understand.

I don't understand why people come on these forums and ask hundreds of questions, when they could get the answers themselves by googling.

I don't understand why some feel the urge to moderate on forums when they clearly want to hijack them.

I'm with you tmftj. The quality of posts generated these days certainly leaves a lot to be desired. And don't get me started on the standard of spelling and grammar used in them!

I agree. This forum seems to have become overrun with illitirate pre-teens in the last few months.

They're talking about your posts renegade

So? My spelling might not be good enough to win a spelling bee, but it's great compared to some peoples. You know who I'm talking about.

When that pre-teen comment came out, yours was the first name that came to mind.

It must be your outspoken manner

I have found that the clapping at the end of a flight doesnt seem to happen these days ..... at least not on any I have been on recently.

I remember when I was younger and flew out of Glasgow to Canada a fair few times that it almost always seemed to happen when we landed but on recent flights to UK/Canada and other destinations I cant say I have noticed it as much. Maybe we all used to think "thank feck we landed" and it was an expression of relief that the Captain got you up and down in one piece .... nowadays, we are either less scared of flying or more expectant that nothing will go wrong !

Air Stewardesses are far less promiscuous these days which has reduced the spread.

terrible "joke"

I never understand why people have to respond to tell people their jokes suck.....the silence was saying everything that needed to be said :(

It happened on a flight I was on a few months ago. I can't remember where I was flying from, but when the plane touched down at Stanstead a big round of applause broke out. I guess there were a lot of easily impressed people on board; it was Ryanair after all.

Going back to the topic of the thread, I rarely understand anything other people do, but one thing that puzzles me is why someone who's looking for a pair of scissors walks around making snipping movements with their hands. I'm sure most of us have done it, but why??

As long as they don't run!

that might give credence to my other "reason" for it happening ...... It tends to be on charter flights or cheap "holiday" flights .... not on scheduled flights so maybe its the "infrequent flyers" who are more prone to it ?

Point at their own watchless wrist when asking the time.

Act as if holding cutlery when asking if we are going out for a bite to eat.

People who swim with dolphins. You should avoid people who do stuff like that.

I try to avoid dolphins who obviously don't choose their friends very wisely.

I agree. This forum gets on my nerves, with all the bitching and from men of all people!

I don't get why people would bother with starting this topic :P
