The Airline Passenger’s Bill of Rights

The Air Traveler's Survival Guide: The Plane Truth From 35,000 Feet

Web Watch loves to travel, but we hate having to share our travelling space with strangers who don’t understand the RULES OF TRAVELLING.

It can be the basics – such as “don’t touch our luggage at baggage claim”, or “don’t hog all the electrical outlets at the airport”.

But it can also be the more courteous items, such as “don’t power-lean your airplane seat back onto our laptop so it cracks the screen.”  Yes, this has happened to us, and the airline says that there’s nothing they can do as it wasn’t their fault for the other passenger’s stupidity, negligence, and overall inconsideration.

There’s a reason why a product like KNEE DEFENDERS exists – it’s not to be rude to our fellow passengers by preventing them from relaxing, but it’s to protect our fellow passengers from pissing us off.  It ends up being a much more pleasant travelling experience for all involved when these are in play.

The 10 most common ingredients in Fast Food

When you order a fast-food combo meal, like Web Watch did today, you’re not just getting a burger and fries – that is, a meal made solely of meat, bun, ketchup, pickles, cheese, potatoes, some salt and oil.

No, you’re getting quite a few more ingredients thrown into the mix.  That bun?  Probably has some sugar in it.  Those fries? Maybe some extra starch was sprayed on them before cooking.

Girls should avoid the playground see-saw

4-person See-SawBuy a FOUR PERSON SEE-SAW

Children of all ages have been getting injured at the playground for years.

It really should come as no surprise that parents are always looking for the safest type of playground for their kids to play at, but those parents are always coming up short.

Playgrounds, just by their very nature, are just waiting for accidents to occur, no matter how safe they appear to be.

Survey shows home cooks regularly serve food off the floor

Web Watch tries to follow a strict rule of thumb when it comes to restaurants that we’ll frequent:  we prefer restaurants with a relatively high health score.

For states that follow letter grades, nothing below an “A”.

For states that follow a numeric scale from 0-100, nothing below a “90”.

We know health inspectors and restaurant owners. We’ve read the restaurant report cards.  We know that the end-resulting score is a negotiation up, rather than a negotiation down.  In other words, if the score is a “81”, you have to wonder what the original score was before the inspector and the restaurant owner came to various agreements over the validity of certain infractions.  To us, that “81” is really a “75”.  And Web Watch refuses to eat at a place where cleanliness is just average.

Web Watch has reported on different studies regarding when men or women decide to participate in protected or unprotected sex in the past.

Today, we ran across a USC study entitled SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS ON THE STREET: HOW HOMELESS MEN JUDGE PARTNER RISK ON SKID ROW.

The study took a look at the homeless population, some of whom have HIV/AIDS or other STDs due to frequent unprotected sex.
