Airline seats are the new eating grapes in a supermarket

When I first joined mumsnet and it were all fields etc. The great divide was between those who would eat grapes in a supermarket and those who would not. Now it appears to be those who fork out for seats on a plane and those who don't

Haha.

This week on AIBU would be a lesson to anyone, don't discuss either eating in supermarkets or having to pay for specific airline seats Grin

Such nice friendly people on here some days...
Plane people are idiots. But they are quite entertaining idiots with their entitled moral outrage.

Are people no longer divided by grapes?

My step dad used to give my son a banana to eat on his way round the supermarket. It made me furious.

Interestingly (or not) i have no opinion on grapes or airline seats. I am passionate about parking though.

It's not a new thing. I've been here since 2004 and the airline/selected seating threads start around Easter for those going on Summer hols and continue until late Sept for those complaining about summer hols.

At the start of Oct it's the Halloween (American/begging/devil/fun) threads.

At the start of Nov it's Remembrance Day red/white/purple poppies/glorifying war

Dec is spending too much/not spending enough/dinners/family/the twitch

Jan is boring / Jan is remember when MN went offline.

Feb most peopl are normal

March the airline posts start up again.

Ad infinitum.

I thought this was going to be a reclining/not reclining airline seats bunfight thread.

Have just realised...
Airport parking spaces have no 'parent/carer/alien and child' parking spaces!!
How are we coping?!? Does nobody THINK about THE CHILDREN!!!
Threads of the future, we await you...
