Things I hate waiting for

Air travel is something I cut back on a lot due to all the hassles you described. I had it down to a system = I always booked way in advance and got the very first seat or as close as possible to it. Always the first person on the plane after the special onboarding for handicapped and elderly. I NEVER NEVER checked a bag - carry on only. I was always the first person OFF the plane. NOW .... I just drive unless it's more than a 15 hour trip. I have to go to Orlando in September - taking the car! I will load up some podcasts and I will be ready to go!
Traveling hits a raw nerve…
May I ask- Being the first person on the plane for handicapped/elderly- Gray area for you, or do you fall into that category? My last trip, I had the opportunity to board quickly, only to see a young couple board first ( taking advantage of “handicapped “ only to find them taking selfies on the jetway laughing and giggling like babies… Savage, dirtbag skells..I wanted to slap them both.

Lmaoo!!!!! Ohhh you tickled my tummy something good with this one dear…
But in reality the ladies restroom is probably dirtier and smellier than the mens room…pllleeaassee don’t ask me why as I do not know why chicks can be so messy and gross….but I have many a time dipped into the mens room to go after catching a whiff of the ladies room (or obviously too packed)…a few courtesy flushes later and you’ll be just fine in the ladies room…just make sure there’s TP in there or you’ll definitely be in a pickle…lol

Ditto!!! I try to be patient with the elderly as well but when they pull out their checkbooks to pay…like really??? All those grandkids they have and not ONE can teach grannie how to swipe and go…wtf!! Or when Johnny the 16 year old cashier won’t help them bag their groceries to speed up the process…Super annoying
Since I've been using the scan gun and prepacking my food I don't wait on those lines much anymore or they'd be near the top of my list.
Although I do have a problem with the idiots who have an over flowing cart then go to the self checkout which is not designed to accommodate people with more than a few items if they need to be scanned.
And how people can still go up to a register and unload everything for a cashier to scan in 2022 is mind boggling.
As far as the arguing over price and coupons go, I actually stopped going to a certain Waldbaums on the South Shore long before they went out of business for that very reason.

Since I'm elderly by UG standards I thank you for your patience
Pre scan guns I always bagged my own groceries while the cashier was ringing them up, it's the people @Uniquelyme was describing who like to argue every price that don't bag because they are watching every price to be ready to argue.
