Snark dispenser: Other posts you might enjoy

I don’t know why I’ve neglected to mention this — I just keep forgetting to post about it — but I’ve enjoyed sitting in with the team over at The Consumerist as a guest blogger this past week. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a Gawker Media site that acts as an irreverent consumer advocate.
Here is a small sampler of posts on travel related issues that I put up over at their site in the last week:
- Laptoppa Non Gratta: Virgin Atlantic Restricts Dell and Apple Notebooks
- This Post is a Threat to Security
- J.K. Rowling’s Voodoo That She’ll Do Do
- Harass Your Way to (Eventual) Refunds
And here are a few posts unrelated to travel, but what the heck:
- Watching Stupid People on TV Really Does Make You Stupid
- Waiters Lobby for Mandatory 20% Tips
- The Geography of Usury
- Anger God by Eating Foie Gras
My thanks to John and the vacationing Ben for letting me join in the snarky fun.

As for harassing your way to a refund - it is often the principle of the matter that really appeals to people. Apparently in Israel you can hire a “vetch” who will take up your cause for a certain fee and bitch endlessly until the funds run out. How satisfying is that - you get the results, the principle is satisfied and no elevated blood pressure, just smug satisfaction.

[…] I was guest blogging earlier today over at the Consumerist. Nice to be invited back (I had the pleasure of blogging there once before, back in September last year.) Thanks to Ben and Meg for letting me sit in. […]
