sundevil777 102 #1 February 14, 2011 When the available bench space (benches to sit on) is not so plentiful, people will still use the benches as if they are tables. Unfortunately there aren't tables at my DZ, but that does not mean that benches should serve that purpose. There is plenty of space on the ground to put their stuff, but no, they use the benches.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

monkycndo 0 #7 February 14, 2011 Or the dumb asses that leave their packed rig in the middle of the packing mat. OK, in case they didn't understand, it is a packing mat, not a rig storing mat. Move your shit to the edge so their is room to pack. And don't leave your canopy unpacked, spread out while you take a break. Get your shit off the mat.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

diablopilot 2 #8 February 14, 2011 As long as we're venting..... Sit your ass up in the airplane, stop taking up the room of two people, resting on the jumper or student next to/behind you, and keep your hands off my gear. Stop bringing your kids to the DZ, and leaving them unattended while your ass goes off and makes jumps. We're not your daycare service. Quit kiting your canopy in the landing area. You're gonna kill someone. Put your empty beer bottles in the trash can. We're tired of "policing the hanger" every morning so the tandem students don't think we're drunks. Quit smoking in the loading area..... flame on....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Beachbum 0 #14 February 14, 2011 I know at least one reason people put gear on the benches. They do it to try to get it off the floor so the whuffos can't walk on it! I've seen someone start to sit on a tandem rig that was on a bench. I had to say something and stop that one.As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

Most hangers are dead when you police them up, not dead drunk, but until now I haven't heard about that being a problem except at the Suicide University DZ outside Hell, Michigan. Besides that, if "policing the hangar" means putting beer bottles in the trash cans in the building where they park the airplanes, well, it seems to me that the tandem students can probably count bottles in the trash just as easily as they count them on the floor, but at least they'll think that y'all are NEAT drunks.

FreeflyGoat 0 #21 February 14, 2011 Gear in your way on a bench, packing floor or a rig holder? Move it. Someone taking up two spots on the airplane? Tell them to sit up some more. See someone leaving their bottles all over the place or throwing cigarette buts on the ground? Tell them they dropped something, and point it out. Someone playing music that you don't like in the hangar? Unwad your panties and ignore it. Bottom line? Man up._________________________ goat derka jerka bukkake jihad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lippy 918 #22 February 14, 2011 As long as we're venting, how about people who, even after hundreds or thousands of jumps, get up into the plane and all of a sudden are memorized and unable to complete the simple task of sitting the fuck down and putting a seatbelt on so we can go skydiving!
