Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Tell the airlines to reduce the weight limit, problem solved.
That doesn't annoy me, nor does the various ways to load the plane. What I'd like to see is them lock the overhead until the plane is in the gate, and then unlock them one by one, front to back. Sit down until you can get your stuff. People act just like cattle, knowing full well they aren't going anywhere fast all standing up at one time.
I stand up knowing full well that I'm not going anywhere because I'd rather stand in one spot waiting for my turn to get off the plane instead of being crammed in the seat any longer. It's nice to stretch the legs and back after being stuck in the seat for so long.
Uhm... Just for next time: stand up during the flight! Quick stretch or stroll to the bathroom if you feel weird just standing. Don't punish your body for the planes hostile design!
