Rudeness seems to be getting around these days among US pax.

I ran into a rude guy in F Friday on flight 759 (PHL-MCO). I was assigned 3F on an A321, ans when I got into the cabin, I noticed that all the bins on my side of the plane were already filled. No big deal, I figured, since the bins of the A-C side were half-empty. So while I'm putting my bag above 2 A-C, the guy sitting in 2A gets in my face, points at my bag, and gestures with his thumb toward the rear of the cabin while VERY nastily saying, "Hey, fella, you're over there. That space if for my wife." (Yes, he called me "fella"! Funny.)

Note that his wife was not directly behind me, so there is no way that I could have known that he was with his wife. He could have VERY easily asked me nicely to move may bag back so that his wife could put his bag next to his. But no, he had to be jerk about it.

I assure you that if I had not been on a plane, I would have told him off. Instead, I just moved my bag, looked him in the eye, and said, "There you go -- FELLA."
