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/

If your bag needs wheels, it is, by definition, not a carry-on.

So tired of people bringing massive bags in the plane that they cannot lift into the overhead bin.

Pack lighter

Or

Check your bags

If you downvote...check which sub you are in

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.

Yeah, after being cramped up it's nice to stretch out a bit and SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE phrases this nicely.

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!

Those seats are so small and cramped and painful, I really need to straighten my back and my neck. I need to get the circulation in my legs started again. Most of all, the worse my knees get the more I need to just stand up

< username > stands up.

Checks out.
