Was it like this?

I was scratching my head on this one for a few...then it hit me.....Funny, I think I Sheeringa's myself. Gotta go wipe my Sanjay now.

With respect to facial hair on men, in the year 2008, it is most commonly associated with people who don't give a ********************. High and tight is the order of the day if you want a job in aviation. And clean shaven. And NO LONG SIDEBURNS. That's like hyperElvisGay.

Miss cool cheerleader chick from high school. I just wanted to let you know what a tease you were. I took you out to dinner fully expecting to get a little sumthin sumthin. You wore a low cut sweater that really showed your cleavage and you flashed me you panties when you got out of the car. All that and nothing. I mean....what the hell, you little slut! I hope you get run away acne and your ass gets big.

I too can be a dick!

I have two course of action for loud cell phone talkers.

1) If I feel like I can participate in the conversation I'll usually throw in my opinion. For example, I have helped out with directions, investments, corrected people on flight time arrivals etc. You get the idea.
Normally I don't get involved in family related conversations, too personal and may lead to physical contact.
People normally don't want you participating in their conversation and will take it eslewhere.

-or-

2.) I get out my phone and pretend like I'm talking to my mother. "Sorry Mom, I can't hear you. There is a guy talking really loud on his cell phone". "Excuse me sir, I'm talking to my mom and she is having breathing problems, could you talk quieter so I can hear her?"

Most people are so engrossed in their little world they don't realize what a jerk they are.

Street Vernacular

Your mom must be proud of your language skills. Do you read much? He already saw the thread, but you were to busy using your big words to notice that...

MOD INPUT 'edited for language'

Well dude, and to our gracious host and moderator, my apologies for my street vernacular. I will make every effort to use language that does not offend any sensitivities in the future.

That said, substituting for the offending verbs, d**k with inconsiderate oaf, and p***y with insecure and passive, my post stands. Instead of sitting there enduring the inconsiderate manners of a pilot, Flops or any other, your potential employer may have found some degree of confident manhood more desirable then the placid indifference and inaction you chose.

As for your inept and ill-informed assessment of my education, reading habits, and the upbringing by my mother, again in abbreviated street vernacular, KMA

Sonny having the nads to confront poor manners, inconsiderate behavior, incompetence, and or personal abuse does not require conflict. Most people will adjust obvious aberrant or intrusive behavior when it is politely pointed out to them. Next time try a direct approach rather then airing your inadequacies on a public message board.

Nice work. It only took you 24 hours with the dictionary and thesaurus to write your reply.

Also, I was not flying for a potential employer. I have a very secure position. I have been doing fill in work for this company when I am available for 14 years. They know they can count on me to not act like you.... no matter how manly you find yourself.

I bet you also always make a point to degrade line service and customer service personnel to show everyone what a manly stud you are. I am sure you do not abbreviate your gutter language skills with them though. You are a class act.

This whole thread could have been pulled right off the "Rants and Raves" on craigslist!

No, because the confrontation would have just further disturbed the others trying to rest in the pilot lounge. You are correct, common sense should have told him to take it outside. I am not going to confront someone in public over something like that.

By saying it here he is not embarrassed in public. No one on this board will know who he is, but if he reads it, he will.

I understand not wanting confrontation or causing more noise but 10 seconds of your index finger over your lips with a little ssss noise from you is much better for everybody in the room. Lots less disturbing than call after call. I'm an old fart and I have the ability of running out of politeness with people like that especially in the job/ working environment.

That is a good idea, I think I will try that next time. Thanks.

Be careful

Be careful, that may take a little guts on your behalf.

Amazing....He spoke without a "dude" or profanity....

I am impressed.

Well DUDE, as a wise man form Alabama once said;

"and that's all I have to say about that".

Not that you said anything worth reading to begin with.

Hey!

YOU BOTH NEED TO SHUT THE F&%K UP!

Act like men...not kids.
