    Wouldn’t say a word but with a little cheese and time, she’ll wish I was speaking with my mouth. Hopefully the collateral damage will understand that they suffer for a noble cause.

    Is she someone I should know? Otherwise I could see my peasant-ass joking about the same thing, especially if I’m grinding for a middle seat on a row that apparently didn’t even have a window.

    Now, if she’s one of the privileged, that’s an entirely different joke.

    … Am I the only one who doesn’t have a problem calling it “peasant class”? It’s the kind of slang I’d use and I always fly economy.

      Yeah, but would you post a picture of yourself online saying that, with a fake smile and undertone of smug superiority?

      Imho it’s less about calling out the airplane than preemptively shitting on her neighbour. It’s the whole “I’m with the plebes so my neighbour will be a pita” that makes her sounds so disdainful.

      Also, I call it cattle class when I fly because that’s how it makes me feel.

    Tbf calling it peasant class is more honest. The new planes economy sections must have been designed by the same people who designed cattle cars.

      There was a post where a kid was shooting a penalty against a professional goal keeper and the goalkeeper was blocking every shot. He was also posturing against the kid.

      People were commenting on how great that was to make strong men.

        That’s the kind of weird shit I’ve sorta come to expect from LL but people referring to economy as peasant class is kind of wild even for this kinda community haha

    If I was next to her and knew about this post, my introverted self would suddenly be the most chatty asshole to ever fly.
