He said I don't think you should sit there. I said said excuse me what are you on about? He said the bags are massive and take up the fly space.
Well that was it. I was so angry, it wasn't a big amount. How dare he say that to me. I shouted at him that he had really offended me and it backed off and sat in the flight seat.
Now I'm thinking about it I don't know AIBU?

To the people laughing at ‘are you on glue?’ I can only assume you’re very, very new to these parts….

Yup the Fly Seat will be forever referred back to, like the Penis Beaker and the Korean Lady.

Zombie thread guys!
let's hope OP wasn't too offended at her fly space being criticised - no have never heard of that term being used before - except on a plane!
MsFogi · 03/12/2021 16:33
OP - I suspect your "Fly Space" is this a bit like the time (I still vividly remember) when I was about three years old when someone couldn't understand when I was asking for "Noddy Sugar" and the person couldn't understand what I wanted. It was actually Demerara sugar I was after but there was a picture of Noddy on the jar at home (no idea why!) so I had always assumed it was called Noddy sugar and everyone else would know that too (and I had never heard the words Demerara or brown sugar so had no other way of describing what I was after).
It was as though we were speaking different languages - I assumed she was an idiot for not understanding me and it was hugely annoying/frustrating.

@MeadowDream
it's working, I want pringles
Heh yes that’s exactly what I took away from this thread...Damn now I have to brave the supermarket!

Just noticed the date of the original post. Seems the bus is running a bit late

@HelenaWay
Well actually they are common terms. The fly space is clearly the space between the Window and passenger. Everyone who rides a bus knows that.
Ummmm no they don't. I use the bus regularly and have never heard those terms.
Ellen888 · 03/12/2021 16:24
"Fly space? Flight seat?"
I'd like a translation as well.....

@PriamFarrl
Why has it been reanimated?
Because @IroningBoardz felt that it was imperative that we knew they had found it funny.
Totally agree with @CrazyTimesAreOccurring re temporary bans.
@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius
got any recommendations for pushchairs?

YABU. And rude.

Is English your first language OP?
Oh and what flavour Pringles? It matters.
Is earth OP's first planet, more like...
PriamFarrl · 03/12/2021 15:59
OOH I didn't notice this was a zombie.
Why has it been reanimated?

@SadieTheNurse
brilliant It must be some sort of regional dialect than none of us know.
Flight seat is vaguely referencable if you mean the fold down seats air stewardesses sit in? But then why not call it the stadium seat?!
Fly just makes no sense though. It's just the present tense of flight, I can't think how that's come about in any regional dialect.
Please come back to explain this op 🙏
Could it be like fly sheet - meaning a pamphlet?
TheCreamCaker · 03/12/2021 15:54
I don't have a clue what you're on about but you were unreasonable to have had a tantrum

@Nestofvipers
Maybe it was wild
Wild? It was bloody livid...oh no...that was OP....

@OboePlayingImmortalRabbit
They are bloomin' lovely, though.Bloody hell - I hadn’t realised this was a zombie thread - or remembered that I had posted on it. Now I feel a complete numpty.
SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/12/2021 15:49
@RestingBitch
MumsNet summary: No one had a bloody clue what a fly space or flight seat is, and shouting at someone when they asked you to move your shit off the seat is a bit OTT. Also what flavour Pringles and what the hell is a flight seat? Is that the one that folds up/down in the wheelchair/pushchair. If so, can confirm that on good ol norfern busses we call those .. seats.
Perfect, @RestingBitch! Thank you.
CrazyTimesAreOccurring · 03/12/2021 15:46
@IroningBoardz is always doing this
@MNHQ - any chances of banning Zombie thread resurrecters?! Or at least a 30 day time out
Justcallmebebes · 03/12/2021 15:40
dont get it are you on glue
🤣🤣🤣
AwaAnBileYerHeid · 03/12/2021 15:39
You're either an idiot, or on the wind up. My money is on the latter.

@IroningBoardz
@IroningBoardzWHY, JUST WHY have you dredged up a thread from 2017 just to say this? You could have read it and been entertained in your head without resurrecting it.
Cue loads of replies from people who won't read anything other than the opening post.
