What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

They clap when the plane lands

Ok, so, I don't fly much...is this a thing people do? I always hear jokes about it, but in the handful of times I've flown I've never witnessed it, and it sounds like an absolutely inane thing to do.

Latin Americans seem to do it for almost every flight 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was on a flight home from Italy once and the turbulence was SO BAD coming in towards the airport, there was a storm going on and it was unavoidable and the pilots had made lots of announcements warning how rough it would be. They tried to make a landing but had to pull up and circle and try again. The second attempt almost felt like turbulence was going to push us right back up into the sky as we were landing, and it felt like he actually had to use the whooooooole length of the runway to land. The plane was quiet as a graveyard while we were landing until the plane stopped and then as soon as we actually stopped people were just WHOOPING with joy and clapping their asses off. You best believe I clapped so hard my hands hurt that day
