- Let's go talk to him.
- We know how you are. You are as subtle as a fucking chainsaw.
Casino Jack - movie
... therefore, I think!
I've heard these lines while watching the movie Casino Jack on a flight going to Europe.
I just burst laughing ... maybe too loud, a total lack of subtlety.
Have you ever noticed that when you have a pair of headset on your ears ... you just get into your own little bubble and lose any sense of manners for your neighbors? In this case it was not too bad because it was at the beginning of the flight and nobody was yet sleeping, but there are other instances when I think to myself what are these people thinking? that they are in their living room?
Different travelers, different behaviors.
Who has not ever have the neighbor that decided that he had adopted you and think that it is OK to chit chat with you for 5 hours. You can try putting your headset on ... it does not seem to stop the person ... he/she just talk louder making sure that you hear everything.
Another one? The woman traveling with 1-2 kids. One of them is just babbling ... bla bla bla ... eventually you get use to it, it becomes a background noise ... what I cannot get used to is the mother !
Mother: Shhhhhhhhhhh , stop it, stop it now.
Will you just stop it?
Shut up! Shut up now!
Over and over and over again ... that is not background noise, it is just annoying.
That's when they don't decide to kick your seat.
I could suggest to handcuff and gag them, but if we rehearse getting out of a house on fire, we should also play plane in the kitchen the week before departing ... making them understand what little room means. Just a thought.
More? The guy that keep clearing his throat ... you are expecting him at any moment to spit in the middle aisle. Once you think he is done ... nooooooooo he starts snorting! and I will spare you the following ...
One should not forget the one that keep complaining ... too hot, too cold, food, light, delays, name it they will not stop.
... there is also the one that cannot get up easily. MY SEAT is NOT a stand. If you have to get out of your seat for any reason, please do NOT grab the headrest of the seat in front of you for leverage.
Unfortunately nothing can be done for the smelly seatmate! Bad breath is one, if you know you have this problem, make sure you have some mints or gum ... I do not need to smell your morning breath when you are going to wake up. A shower the day you are going to board a flight may not be a luxury either. Ladies, go easy on the perfume. I love perfume, I always wear some but I kinda believe that it should not be a room deodorizer either.
What ever happens to you on a plane ... keep your calm, remain polite. What goes around; comes around. As for the parents, they are probably more annoyed than you are with their kids behavior and just remember when you deplane ... they will be gone for YOU ...
Have a nice flight!

LOL - I'm sure not going to miss this with my new job! Although, even when travelling for pleasure you get these behaviors. One time, before 9/11, I had 2 women using nail polish remover in the plane - not a good idea either. But i'm not necessarily behaving properly all the time either, I fell sleep once on a returning flight from Atlanta and was resting my head on the guy's shoulder sitting next to me. The worse part was that he let me sleep the entire flight... JLAU
LOL ! It must not have been too bad for him or he would have push you a tad ... :-)
