OH DEAR !!!!!!!!

So, there i am on the miami to cali route. The flight is relatively unoccupied and im feeling relatively relaxed. My 1.88 tall metre frame is not having to withstand the reclining seat in front as no one is sitting there. Great, not so hemmed in this time im thinking. Then crash.......all of a sudden some complete muppet has decided to move seat in the middle of the flight......he could have gone anywhere, sat anywhere else but he decides to crash his fat arse in front of me and reclines the seat....what ? , why ? hes actually annoyed me. i think to say to him " why?" but he is more involved with his IPOD and stupidly overt, large headphones and shuffling in his seat.
Cursing, i forget it and think about moving myself but i decide im over reacting a bit, maybe because ive been travelling for nearly a day and im over tired.
So, we depart the flight and as we are getting off he starts.
"hey, Gee, where u from ?"
me " er, well......"
him" you are one of us....i could see"
me" but you are american right ? and well, im english so it means im not one of........"
interrupts " hell, we are the same, im from there as well....."
me" but you have a strong american accent.....how ?"
him" how ? jesus, we came from there , hastings"
me" what ? but........."
him" 100 years ago we got booted from there, im protestant"
me" right, well, great."
Im moving quicker now. i notice his face is red, bulbous nose........damm ugly overweight muppet i conclude. Hes loud, too loud.
I keep moving....he moves quicker......ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH
then he starts again.
" what you here for ? sex, drugs, women , right ?"
" well, actually , im just here for my novia....im not really into Cali, dont really like the place" ( which is the truth)
him" you dont like it ? girls man, have what you want, hell they are easy, its free here, free sex"
AT THIS POINT IM THINKING, IS THIS THE ELMO CHARACTER FROM POOR BUT HAPPY.
he continues " im married , cali girl, but she is cool .....i can have who i want....we have THAT kind of relationship, you know"
At that point i just bolted. I was tired, he was a muppet and i pityed the poor woman who he climbs onto from time to time inbetween all his other activities. LOSER...

Oh man I empathize The fact that he emphasizes 'free' sex means he probably pays, trust me.

Colombian women are NOT attracted to ugly, overweight, disgusting, arrogant and obnoxious Americans like the one you described. Poor hooker who has to deal with him, perhaps she'll suffocate and he'll get charged with murder jeje.

Two things, I think his wife married him for the green card, and she accept his behaviour cuz she wants him as far as possible from her, so she can avoid sex with him.

And I think is appalling he said that about cali women, knowing his wife is from there, you can see the lack of respect in the relationship from both parts.

I think I have seen him lots of times in Central London, not looking for women cos they sure aint f**cking free here... I think he was looking for Leicester Sq... I sent him to Grovernor Square instead (where the American embassy is) and where he belongs,

i was in a similar situation once.... i was sitting on the bus, about halfway along. Suddenly, the bus sways to one side. Then I hear an american accent. A "man" in a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, white socks and trainers, sweating profusely and talking really loudly is trying to get up the 3 stairs of the bus. Hes grabbing the rails and huffing and puffing. He can barely get on the bus. Once he's finally on, he has to squeeze sideways and wedge himself into a seat, just behind me. He starts saying things like "oh mannn the women here are sluts. You can do whatever you like here...even roll around in the street if you want..." blah blah. So I get up and move to the front of the bus.

This reminds me of the classic gringo I met at the US embassy trying to get his very young "fiancee" a visa. He was paunchy, pasty and balding. He had to be in his late 50s or early 60s while she was in her young 20s. He kept talking to me in English and I would reply in Spanish. They had to come back to the embassy four times to get the visa but if it were me, I would never have given it to him if he had come back 500 times.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

If I was employed at the embassy I made him to come 500 times but every appointment within a year interval, this way, his fiancee would be old enough and mature for him, if he is still around :)))

I too was beginning to sense a bit of hostility from brits toward their gringo masters. Hey, I’m not claiming to be gringo, I’m just one of many, many millions of miserable spic immigrants to their land and very grateful to be given the chance to clean their fokin toilets.
We all know these crazy loud modefoques (gringos) rule the world which may cause a bit of jealousy. Hey, I’m envious of their incredible wealth and power too and don’t enjoy seeing Uribe jump hoops to entertain Bush. I m sure watching Bush drag around Blair like a well trained puppy is not too pleasant either
. Lets face it, right now we can’t’ do anything about it, the ball is in their court, they own the ball, the court, and every fokin thing around it including the fans,

while we are all ranting what's with this complaining when someone puts their seat back? They are made to recline you know? The people in the seats just use them as intended, they didn't design the plane or decide how many seats to stuff in it.

If you feel that strongly about it you should maybe try to earn a few more pennies so you can stop flying in the cheap seats of cheap airlines.

pondboirski, since when do you know of any europeans flying first class. Grngos take up all those seats.
After months of cleaning the gringos crap I sometimes like to indulge so I stay in the best hotels of Cartagena and Barranquilla.
Though I see plenty of Europeans around in Cartagena I never see them in the hotels I stay such as the Hilton, Santa Clara, Almirante, Capilla etc. Most of the other guests are loud, torn jeans and dirty sneaker wearing gringos. Where the hell are the Europeans? I later found out they stay 5 to a room in El Pidiatro hotel and other hotels behind the main street (via San Martin) for 50 mil, meanwhile we’re paying 400 mil fokin barras a night.

I'll get there, when I get there!

pondboirski? that's the worst mispelling yet! Or is that a slag that I don't get? jaja. I suggest 'podblowhardski' instead.

I'm way too cheap to fly first class myself, but I sure don't complain about the guy in front of me for the cramped seats.

I actually quite enjoy when I have one of those jerks behind me who tries to stop me from reclining my seat by propping his knees up against it. Plane rides are boring so it's fun to listen to their exasperated grunts and sighs as I lean all my weight on the seat, and then I go out of my way to suddenly raise and lower it as fast as possible at meal time.

I'm pretty sure all these types are british. They are even more anal than us canadians, who of course are practically all close relatives.

So you don't want the canadian flag pin? I think it could spruce up your uniform, no? You just have to learn to say 'eh'.

Thanks for the encouragement manINred. I also read that comment on Uribe/Hitler today somewhere... I thought it best not to even bother,

Yeah - can't think of a Dutch babe, there has got to be one surely?

Well, put it this way: americans should count their lucky stars that the 'dominent influence' was neither spanish nor mexican. Why? well, just take a look at the mess the spanish left in the rest of the American continent, what savages. As for the mexican, well the good old US of A would still be a third-world country if they had anything to do with it... there would be no american dollar, no economy today and no f**ker would want a green card.

The french and the dutch were not strong enough to leave their mark anywhere really so hard to make a judgement. The Brits however left well-established and organised communities: Australia, New Zeland etc...

I agree with you manINred, I do not think the Brits are loud tourists. the spanish, americans, even colombians are louder - I think.
