Are people who clap when a plane land the most cheesey ***** of the moment?

Jay D

Man wtf is yo with them? I wish there was a button I could press to strap all those guilty to their chairs like on Batman or something like that and also the strap across their mouth so they shut up talking ****e.

Anyone else with me on this?

brummytom

It depends.

I've clapped, along with the rest of the plane, after a pilot made a perfect landing after a very turbulant flight.


On just a normal flight with no problems, there's no need, it's just ridiculous

sneakerfreak

i dont know whats yo with them but i feel like strapping you to a chair "like on batman or something like that" etc

That_Guy

Next time I'm on a plane I'm gonna clap all through the flight.

Im more of a slapper then a clapper

sneakerfreak

im replacing "up" with "yo" from now on

RGDATA!

a) they can't hear you clapping up in the cockpit
b) why don't people applaud the luas when it gets to the terminus without crashing?

I once went to the toilet at the back of the plane mid-flight, came out of it and the air hostess' were made their way down the gangway... I got stuck behind that fucking trolley for half an hour.


Sorry, just sharing

I never clap, usually it's some eejit that's never been on a plane before that starts it.. and then everyone just joins in like sheep

Once I tested the theory at a mass, I clapped after the sermon and people actually joined in. I fcuking pissed myself

I suppose the argument is, the pilot's just doing his job.

I mean, I wouldn't burst in to spontaneous applause when a waitress brought me my dinner.


But I might actually try that

Its only fair that passengers clap when a plane lands successfully because airline etiquette dictates that you have to boo if it crashes.

"Hurray to the plane driver...."

My first week of college, people kept clapping after the lectures.

It took them about a week to realise they were acting like twats and slowly the clapping stopped.

spoofilyj

I only agree with clapping if there has been severe turbulence and its a particularly scary landing... Like the pilot ends up using the plane as a basketball down the runway,

Otherwise no.

the only time(s) i rember clapping on an aeroplane was on charter flights and only when landing at your holiday destination, not when landing back in ireland.

Was that clown college or something?

I got about 900 people to start clapping after a mass that we had to bless the start of the school year or some shít like that, best moment ever!:D

DCU actually.


So yes.

Theres a group on facebook about this!Its called the


"i hate those people who clap when the plane lands"

Bradles!

If it drowns out the noise of those f***ing thrumpets at the end of Ryanair flights, I'm ok with it

jaysusjones

Clapping on planes is fine, its just a little "Thanks for not killing me pilot" gesture that I'm sure they appreciate

Now Clapping at the end of films in the Cinema really gets my goat. Whats the point? its not like theres anyone important there who was affliated with the production to acknowledge or appreciate your praise.

They stopped caring after you paid for the ticket.

No that's the thing, for the pack of idiots who do actually start clapping straight away, along comes a double whammy... So I love when Ryanair flights are 5 mins late so that bloody jingle isn't played

Maybe if, when the plane lands, everybody screams in terror?!? Then you won't be able to here either the clapping or Michael O'Learys boasting! Genius...:pac:

I flew to Germany with Ryanair this weekend and the weird thing is nobody clapped until after it was announced that we were on time with another ryanair etc etc. Then they all started to clap. Maybe they were worried that the pilot might be sacked or something.

K-9

Funny thread. Plenty of plane speaking.

People who clap on ordinary flights and people who clap at weddings make me laugh. What will be the next clapfest?
A round of applause when the Gard gives you a speeding ticket?
A bit of "bravo" when the bus driver pulls in at your stop?
Clappityclappityclap when the till woman at Tesco tells you how much you owe?

People clap after lectures and we're coming into the 4th week of lectures. I still find it really really weird.

Clapping in general really p!sses me off...

You crazy med students are just crazy about learning

It was pretty funny towards the end, about 4 people would start to clap and then stopped almost immediately

Yeah the last lecture of each day is accompanied by cheers and a mexican wave.

Only on Ryanair, and that's just because everyone is so relieved to arrive in one piece

ah back in secondary school in mass with the bishop and kept the clapping up for a good 10 mins, teachers and everything were standing up shouting "stop clapping". Result was we were told to leave the church. Ha it work

If it's a rough landing I'd be even less likely to clap!

Not that I would anyways ... it's so cringeworthy

Dartz

I am scared ****less of flying.

Needless to say I am somewhat glad to be on terra-firma once again. If you don't like me clapping, I'll clap you one in the face...

Do you look at/listen to it often to remind yourself of the disgust you felt?

No, only when you recieve the correct change.

Lia_lia

Haha, I hate that too.
My brother and I used to fly to France every few months when we were kids and we used to just completely take the piss out of the whole thing. If no one started clapping he would start and wouldn't stop until everyone in the plane used to join in.

T-K-O

I don't clap when the taxi driver drops me into town so why would I clap when the pilots lands the plane ?? It's ridiculous.

Most mass attendees are too old to have any control over their own bodily functions, to be honest.

It would deserve an applause if it was landed smoothly in bad weather condition's.
