I take away food from airlines, only snacks and bread I only eat hot food on planes . And its always international flights never local flights.

Reason is because with my transits those snacks help keep ulcer flares down. So I do frequent nibbles as often as I can. The only time I don't do it is when i bring snacks with me.
Its more health than anything. That the food is tasteless is irrelevant.

By the way the tone of this post is seriously condescending. Uncultured unsophisticated
Cmon there are 7bilion people in this world
.Who cares?

I understand that part of your point and have tried to be as polite as possible. Yeah, I do agree. The tone of the thread has become increasingly condescending. However, we still need point at behaviours that are improper or outright unhealthy. This is one of such. You don't want to be in plane with a business partner and then proceed to take off plane food with you. I can assure you it'll seriously devalue your opportunities with such person, depending on their level of sophistication.

Moana:

no the truth is you try too hard to sound like a "cultured person". People can take food from every other place except a plane because of someone else's flimsy idea of being uncultured.

You are the one who clearly hasn't flown enough to know that even non-Nigerian people do it too and they consider it normal. If a person can take food offered to them on a bus or restaurant and there is nothing unusual about it, why should taking food off a plane be a taboo? unless a person sees a plane as some form of sacred place. Clearly you do

I guess you are the one who mentioned earlier that people can as well take food away from a party. Such crass actions. I think I understand your thought process. I guess you find nothing wrong with people hugging meals about when clearly they don't need to, whether from a bus, a plane or a party. There is no dearth of restaurants or fast food outlets around an airport or in a city that has an airport, so I fail to understand why anyone would want to hug take-away packs about.

The truth is, it's not normal. I'm yet to see sane people on flights require the flight attendant bag their food so they can take it away with them. Certainly not on international flights, and not on the airlines I fly. Maybe on Cambodia air, that's possible.

An airplane is not a sacred place, neither is it a restaurant. The more reason why you should trash the shitty food, if you aren't hungry.

...à poser des questions?

Moana:
You gave examples of small local airlines you have used in your main post. It explains why you get tasteless food. Other airlines known internationally serve decent food , their reputation depends on efficient service delivery.


And i will repeat this only people without much put so much significance over the small things other people do. Its like your main agenda is psycho-analysing everyone else who isnt aware or bothered by your exsistence.

Tasteless airplane food has nothing to do with airline size. They all serve unhealthy tasteless dishes, local and international airline companies alike. I don't know how much you have really flown. Apparently your posts don't sound convincing, cos if you knew the least bit about airplane food you'd know that they are the most terrible meals you can ever have.

You think discouraging people from taking food off an airplane has no significance, yet the obvious truth is that only perpetually hungry people do this.

Moana:
i fly at least 12 flights a year between school, home and vacations and i have never had issues with food i eat on the plane. I have taken enough flights to see people take food off a plane and i have taken enough flights to see it as a very normal thing.

I eat out frequently weekly and i eat from MacDonalds to 5-star restaurants food, so i have a idea of what good food taste and what bad food tastes like. Like i said maybe its the airlines you board.

so if a person wont have time to buy a meal after landing, before a meeting they shouldn't take their food off the plane out of fear of being seen as cheap and hungry by people like you? not everyone's life revolves around trivial concepts of others.

Again, you don't sound convincing one bit. Packaging, storage and the long hours between cooking and serving have their deteriorating effects on airplane food. Use "Google" and you won't have to type too many words to find out that airplane food is synonymous with "bad". From KLM to United, they are all not as tasty as you may imagine. I really wonder what sort of five-star restaurants you've been eating at if you didn't know this. Don't even go about equating food from five-star restaurants with airplane food. You have no idea.

Okay. The thing is it's pathetic. Of course, I can't stop anyone who wants to take food off an airplane from doing so. It just amazes me that anyone would want to do such. Not just amazing, but super amazing. For the life of me, I wouldn't have imagined it. I've seen this done mostly by Nigerians, hence my wonder. And I can't help but accept it as a natural extension of the many uncultured Nigerian behaviours. I repeat, only hungry people do this.

Moana:
The most i have taken off a plane was a bottle of water i was still drinking from after landing. However i do not see anything wrong with people who leave with their food off a plane.

Some people take it because its offered to them and they can eat it later. Some people could be heading somewhere for a meeting or function where they will not have time to order a meal elsewhere, wait for it to be prepared then eat. The snack box they get on the plane will be sufficient to nibble on before they go for their meeting or function.

I dont know which airlines you board that makes tasteless meals though. I have never had bad experiences with food offered to me on a plane.

Clearly you don't fly very often, or perhaps you don't have a rich taste in food. And that'd be incredibly surprising, since pretty much the rest of the world knows for a fact that airplane food is almost always unhealthy and tasteless. Even science has shown that.

I still don't see how those reasons you've pointed out should encourage anyone to take away airplane food. Just makes no sense.

Moana:
please tell me what makes a plane so special that makes carrying food off it such a taboo in Nigeria?

And to add again that this airlpane food is often unhealthy and tasteless...
And that's your trophy item?

Moana:
please tell me what makes a plane so special first?

of course, a plane is not special. No one says it is. Still, hugging the pack of tasteless food to take off the plane is just not proper. Can I ask why you don't just eat the food in the plane?

Moana:
but it still remains the same concept

It's not. Don't make the mistake. You go to a restaurant because you are hungry and want to eat. You don't board a plane because you want to eat. What i don't get is why you can't politely decline if you are not hungry, but must carry the food off with you.

Moana:
i made a comparison.

If there is nothing wrong taking food out of a restaurant what is wrong with taking food off a plane?

because a plane is not a restaurant!

kobe79:



Wherever you flying to/from naationl carriers will ALWAYS in ideal situations stop by in owner country before proceeding to destination.
Eg i take a BA to ATL, USA it will of course stop over in London, in-flight 40% would likely be Nigerians whose destination is London so u see meore of that crap but on changing aircraft from London those loud, abolonje ku xters and hippopotamus eaters would have gotten off in UK nd more ''sophistcated" people( let me use ur words} would have gotten on the craft for the trip to Yankee thatts when u get the bit of fresh air

Moana:


Its only black people without much who feel the need to form sophisticated with the smallest of things. I live with some black people who think wearing plastic slippers outside the house is not classy but they move around with plastic weaves on their heads yet they see nothing unsophisticated about that.

I see white kids and in some cases adults that move around groceries stores with bare feet. No one else see anything awkward about that.

This has nothing to do with wearing slippers or going around with bare feet. Stick to the subject matter.

milychocs:
From this moment on, I am going to be leaving planes with their food, drinks, etc
I hate plane food.....but even if they serve sushi, sunny side up on tofu with cheddar cheese and a topping of marmite...(I know, right?)
I shall be taking it off planes
Thanks to OP
Cultured.....I guess for you means following the etiquette patterns of the oyibo
For me it is not
We have to have our thing
And if it is carrying food off planes, so be it

@Phema.....
I like that....I mean you were cold....thank the stars you were not too cultured to go and freeze to your death
The weather is warm now....but I shall be collecting a blanket or two in no distant time
Thanks to the OP

Some people I know about, a family (group of cousins)....take cutlery pieces as momento from restaurants
What shall we do to them?
And those pricey hotels?
Now checking.....and wondering how best to get my full money's worth....towels?

It's not unusual to take items away from an airplane. Some people do it, since no one is gonna stop you anyways. Some don't as it's almost stealing. Some take blankets away, some newspapers. It happens rarely, else the airline company won't even be able to sustain it.
But to think that's normal is way off. You can do it, but never consider it normal. Ask permission, if you must.

And tasteless airplane food is what you want to carry out as trophy items? If you ain't hungry at that moment, why not just decline? Why not just visit one of the airport restaurants and have a good meal if you must eat. Or settle down at the hotel to a better meal. Has airplane food suddenly become what you mustn't miss?

You guys are just incorrigible.

Moana:


I have used BA, SAA, Emirates, Mango airlines, Flycem air, fastjet. This is coming from a non-Nigerian who does not live in Nigeria , people leave the plane with their little snack boxes everywhere else around the world and there is nothing uncultured about it. Its food you can eat on and off a plane. Different airlines give different types of food.

Only hungry people take away food off an airplane. it's just so unheard off I wonder where you've been flying to. Cambodia?
If flying internationally some countries won't even allow you past airport checks with food, whatever nature. While most people actually carry their own food into the aircraft in order to avoid pale, often tasteless, airplane meals, you are actually carrying these meals off the plane? I'm lost for words!

Moana:
im not Nigerian and yes i do see other people non-Nigerian and white people do it too

Now you can come back and tell us the rest of the world is uncultured

You don't get it now, do you?
Do you also take food away from KLM or Emirates flights? No, you don't. Why don't you then come with a special container and proceed to empty the food served right into this container, so you can very well take away something? What's stopping you from doing that?

tpiadotcom:


that's possible.

why are you taking offense?

I'm not taking offence.

Moana:
you can afford a plane ticket but you cant afford buying a meal?

Biko how e concern you? Its just the same as buying food from a restaurant and taking a doggy bag when you dont manage to finish the food.

The day i lose an arm because someone said im uncultured for me to take my snack box off a plane is the day i will stop doing it. How is it different from a person who brings their own snacks on a plane and leave with them?

Mind you costs of that food are covered by the money you pay for your ticket, whether you decide to eat the food or not.

Some black people always trying to complicate life for no reason since 100AD

tpiadotcom:

You're angry because people are taking away "take away packs"?
I guess I'm missing something.

You guys don't seem to get it. I guess it's all part of the Nigerian thingy.

Oh well...

angieberry:
Why is it affecting you so much?? If you don't feel comfortable taking food out of the plane, then don't do it, and leave people that don't see anything wrong in it alone! You can't force your opinions or ideology down other people's throat. People have different ideas of what is cultured and what is not. Its not always about the money , people just like to get the full benefits or value of what they paid for. This issue should not cause you sleepless nights.

I understand I can't force my opinions on others. It just baffles me why people (especially Nigerians) should do this. It makes me ask if there's something wrong with the Nigerian psyche, hence the thread.
Most of all, it really amazes me that the generality of Nigerians believe this a 'normal' situation. Not one response in support! Smh.

Daresh:


This argument isn't worth it. You do you and I'll do me.

Okay then

Daresh:


I did buy it. It is a part of my ticket. You think the airline gives u anything for free? Its not food it is snacks. It's not serve, its a snack. You really are slow.

Yes, the airline gives you some things for free. A lot of complimentary items come for free. And i guess Nigerians love free things. To then take these free things out as trophy items is no less uncultured than uncultured itself.

ifyalways:


Now that we are here, let me quickly chip in that i enjoy and love Dana air's cake ooo. So moist and melts in the mouth.

No vex OP ooo

angieberry:
Okay, you didn't pay for it but they gave you free so it becomes yours and you can do with it whatever you want.
@ bolded, that's your own opinion. Whatever that makes you feel "cultured"

Yes you can do with it whatever you want. But for goodness' sake, don't take it out of the airplane. How much would it cost anyways if you had to buy the same thing outside? Must you stoop that low to take out a mere 500ngn meal?

Daresh:


This shows how uncultured you are. People take food away from parties all the time. After a party the host packs food for guests to take home so the food doesn't waste. I always give my guests when I have excess. I take away my snacks from the plane after all it's a "take away" pack. Get it?

Phema:

What if i'm not hungry in the plane? Or i just do not feel like eating at that time? I get to my hotel room and just while waiting for a proper ordered meal to come, i munch. Now, how is that a crime?
And yes, the food comes with the purchase of that ticket. There are some airlines that do not offer these meals. So if an airline offers them, i will sure as hell take them away to eat at my convenience.

Firstly, it's just so well in the habit of wasteful people to overplan and have excess food at parties. Next time, try to plan more appropriately.
Having said that, excess food at parties should be processed and served to dogs, fishes and other animals. They'd thank you for doing that. Why in the world would you want to 'pack' food for guests to take home? Don't they survive already without your food?

That it's in the take-away pack shouldn't encourage taking it away. That's uncultured. Would you take away food from KLM or Turkish airlines planes? I guess you wouldn't. And not because they don't serve in take-away packs, but merely because they don't encourage it. Would you then, for the desire to compulsorily take something away, enter a KLM flight with your personal cooler and then take away their airplane food? Of course not!

So, please, eat in the aircraft or trash it. If you don't feel hungry there and then, politely decline the food, request water and eat a comfortable dish at the hotel.

Daresh:


How does it concern you? After all na me take my money buy am. If I don't eat it, I can give my kids or dash my maid. All these busy body forming Nigerians that dont mind their business

Again, you didn't buy it!
You should be able to buy food when you need it. Not hope to 'serve' your kids with stale airplane food.

Phema:
I take mine out and that is usually the first thing i munch once i settle in. . .

How e take concern you? Dem no pay for am?

angieberry:
Well, they paid for it so it shouldn't affect you.

No, you didn't really pay for it. At some point, Aero never used to serve food on airplanes and people still flew. This food is complimentary and not paid for.

Why not 'munch' it in the plane? Are you not 'settled in' in the plane? Or you feel people are watching you?

Cultured people don't take food out of airplane. Don't get influenced by the habit of taking food away from a party. It simply doesn't speak well of you. If anything, it suggests that you are too hungry and can't afford a meal whenever you want one.

Can someone please explain to me why people (especially girls) keep taking airplane food out of the aircraft? Aero, Medview, First nation and a couple other airlines always serve with some kind of 'take-awa' pack, but should people have to take these packs away out of the airplane like uncultured men, carrying them about the airplane like they are some party gifts?

I wonder if those pple that stays where those thieves are bn roasted are humans... .. Heartless humans... how has jungle justice reduce the numbers of thiefs..?.. Enough beating is ok..., then they shud b handed to the police afterwards..... Even thieves will be burning thieves..

as bad or evil as it may seem, this is probably the greatest deterrent to crime in Nigeria. The courts give a slap on the wrist and almost always encourage the festering of crimes and vices. If every armed robber recognizes that he/she will be burnt alive for the crime of robbery, he/she will stay far away from it.

masperano:


The first question is wrong. 0^0 can NEVER be 1. That's why they say any nonzero number raise to 0 is one. Try using ur calculator 0^0

You are only partly right. For a function x^y, with x,y->0, that function will tend to 1. Just imagine 0.000000000001⁰. The answer is 1.
While that function may not be definable at the origin, it doesn't mean you can't assign 1 to it, especially as the limit actually tends to 1. There's a lot of mathematical argument about this, but technically I'm not wrong.

How can one get him? I'd love to make a documentary about this guy.

Princecalm:
when you check where syria, Libya and its likes ranks, you will understand better, am not being sentimental.

The rate at which people are being killed in Nigeria is actually higher than what obtains in those countries you mentioned. The difference? Unlike in Syria and Lybia, most killings in Nigeria go unacknowledged.
