When you're at the airport lounge and some heathen is facetiming their friend with the speaker phone on max volume. What are your traveling gripes that make you want to help plan thousands of layoffs?

I saw some dudes doing shots of whisky at 6am FaceTiming girls asking them to “show their tits" so I mean... it can always be more ridiculous

Very much in line with yours - it’s completely unconscionable to me how people can FaceTime / listen to music / watch videos on their phones or laptops without headphones in general - in lounges, waiting at the gate, sitting next to you etc. Are they all barbarians? What is the rationale?

People boarding out of their zone... and the gate agent not stopping them. So annoying!

I’m generally sympathetic to crying babies on planes as there’s nothing you can do about it but the lounge is not the place for it. Also airline announcement from Gate agents that clearly don’t care if they’re understood.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
