These people are always feigning obliviousness... the eye contact avoidance is unmistakable. Just like the pregate jockeyers. And for the record, on a late flight I know some are late for a connection and I've seen some apologizing along each passed row that they need to catch a connection. My gripe is when the flight is right on time, or early, and this occurs.17seconds said:
On the flip side, it's really rude when the pilot or flight attendant gets on the PA and asks everybody to stay seated so that somebody in the back can make a connecting flight, only to have the entire plane disregard. I've had it happen twice, once when I needed to get off and another when some stranger did. There should have been plenty of time to make the connection, but both times the initial leg was delayed by a good hour or two making it a very tight connection.
Was walking on sidewalk yesterday toward a group of 3 people. They were 3 wide of course taking up the whole sidewalk. Car was also coming. They literally dont yield one inch to me. I am certainly not going to step into the road, so there was a bit of a collision. There is no way she didn't see me coming. We were walking toward each other for 100 feet at least. I could have been a jerk and not turned my body at all, but i did turn sideways so I didnt plow her over, but she definitely got a decent bump. I honestly couldnt believe it. What was so weird is they just kept on walking like nothing happened.DSP said:
Because I'm sure you were the only one with a tight connecting flight and world revolves around you, right?
And I'm equally loving that calls are still not allowed.
Just answer each side's questions and comments. They'll take the hint quickly and ask to switch seats.
This will break me. I cannot wait to sit next to some windbag on a cross country flight yelling into his phone about how important he is.
Not a fan of United, but I like the snack boxes they sell. Would much rather pay for those than get the slop they used to sling for free.
lol. Good call.
I always assume when I see people wearing masks that they are sick and are in fact wearing them so as not to spread it. Am I wrong?
That is normally the case. Very common in Japan to wear masks when they are sick to be courteous to others.
I don't have a choice here. I have no depth perception, so holding the seatbacks prevents me from falling onto people.
If it's a medical issue, that's understandable of course. Unfortunately, it's often difficult to distinguish the lazy and inconsiderate from the legitimately infirm in this instance, so my ire would be unfairly misplaced on occasion. Do you have to use a wheelchair or hold someone's arm to get around the terminal? Or is it more difficult on the plane because of its motion?
Add to that, we have 4 kids and 2 adults - cost of airfare plus the hassle just isn't worth it. I'm sure others will appreciate us not flying with our 3 year old.
You are wise to think so.
lolYou are wise to think so.
lol, I remember that thread. I had a very lengthy discussion with Rayderr about it, and of course no one changed their minds.

THIS would so be happening to the first douchenozzle or chatty cathy that started yammering on next to me. #### that noise.
I've also found that 34.9% of the time these ######s are on their phones too. The whole holding phone with shoulder while still talking, and then corntorting down to somehow attempt to lift this bag, which is 1.5x body weight, into the overhead bin... KNOWING they're just putting on a show for someone to help them. If it's a normal woman I'll jump to assist, but if they're on the phone, I'm just watching them suffer.
Southwest has in-flight Wifi now. Was on a flight last week, and while I'm not 100% positive, I believe a guy on the aisle several rows up from me was doing a video chat on his laptop.
Delta has had this for ages. I love my FFA sessions from 30k feet. At one point I think I was doing online poker up there as well
Yeah, it's awesome until people start using it for what are essentially phone calls, which I think is inevitable.Delta has had this for ages. I love my FFA sessions from 30k feet. At one point I think I was doing online poker up there as well

Now if only they would have outlets available for the masses instead of only in first class.
Exactly that. I made the mistake of conversing first so that’s on me. Small regional flight so two seats on each side of the aisle. I was right behind him and we happened to be sitting in the same row. I said…….geez it’s almost like we came together. We were best friends from then on.
I was flying to Canada a bit the last few years and I learned the hard way their are International planes and US planes and the overhead bins were not like one another. Having my fat, disgusting American carry on and trying to stuff it in the slim, demure international overhead was always a fun experience. Why are we like this? Can't we all just get along?
This is about 95% of the root cause of all my problems in the world today.
I feel like I'm livin' the life when I upgrade from basic economy to the seats closer to the front of the plane. Man, back in the day I could upgrade to first for like $75 on flights from Austin to SoCal, and I was all over that.
