I said something to the gate agent and she started speaking broken English and turned to her colleague and spoke in Spanish that I was being an asshole.

Yes I’m white but I speak Spanish. When I responded to her in fluent Spanish, I think she soiled herself

The morons who can’t read, can’t hear or just don’t care will never stop screwing things up on their own. Seems astonishing to read something positive about American Airlines.

“Americans overcomplicate boarding. Foreign airlines in foreign countries call boarding all at once. Or, if there is a priority order, it’s first class, and then economy. No group numbers or zone numbers.”

I call you out for B.S. statement. I fly almost exclusively in Europe. ALL flights in all airlines have a boarding protocol. Usually asking people needing extra time first. Then by group, usually 1 to 6.
In fact, at Helsinki LH boarding area, they have had verbal notice if you try to board before your group. Guess you are one of those gate lice that board when they feel like it.

The boarding area was very crowded, not only with the Subject “lice,” but also with overflow passengers waiting for flights at other gates, because there is not enough physical space for the number of passengers boarding the plane. And what genius decides to schedule simultaneously boarding of two flights at adjacent gates?

Immediately looks at me and goes, “Sorry this is for priority borders, you have to be a loyalty member.”

Not knowing I go, Oh I’m sorry she told me to come to this line.” He goes,” well you should go back to the end of the other line.”

Before I can turn around, the attendant, “NO SIR! You(me) are first class, and you(life) sir should be behind him. He’s WHERE HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE!”

You have not lived until you’ve watched someone think they’re better and have more money than you find out that not only do they have neither, they also don’t have a touch of the class or grace as you. Then homeboy had to stand there in front of me(cause I said, it’s all cool, we’ll all be on at the same time), and not only never look behind him out of embarrassment, but gave up the first class upgrade his points gave him because he didn’t if he’d be put next to me, which his friend then took.

Tip to anyone, you might be better than me, but you’re sadly not worth more than my money.

Nope. The count is still going on.
Today, Trump is in the lead.

But as the votes from overseas military and various states continue to be counted, it looks like it will be the Democrats that again will win the popular vote.

The incomming administration has won the land vote (EC).

It’s the same as 2000, 2016.

But, that may not be what you want to hear. So you won’t.

The title uses the term “gate lice”. This is proof that snobbish elite frequent flyers and those who play the credit card points game are so elitist that they call others “gate lice”. These smug elite level frequent flyers and mileage credit card users should be taxed heavily then put in prison. Million mile flyers should their arrogance and greed unless they sign a confession.

Harris won the rigged election.

In all fairness, the term “gate lice” is very much a term used by DykWIA’s
