Well not much X-rated stuff, but there WAS
some cooing and wuvvy-dovvy stuff.
But really mostly we were talking about, you know, travel and miles and upcoming trips and holiday plans and so forth. And I SWEAR, we were speaking in whisper tone...or else I might have even felt slightly bad because it was a pretty quiet flight with many folks appearing sun-drunk and/or hung over from a long weekend in the islands.
Really though, we couldn't have been any quieter and still heard each other. And I am CERTAINLY not going to cease all conversation on a daytime flight because another passenger has an expectation that everyone on the plane will be silent for her. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how selfish and self-centered people can be.
As I say, if she wants absolute silence she needs to take personal responsibility for it...especially since I even offered to help her do that! @:-) ^
Edited to add: BTW, it just occurred to me that part of the issue here is that US has removed ALL IFE from this long flight so ill-prepared people that might normally be watching a movie or Buntings Window on the World on daytime flights are instead sitting there staring at the seat in front of them....
