You don't think you are annoying anyone, but you are wrong. The window shade, when open, makes a broad swath of light throughout the cabin ... annoys everyone else, as they are trying to sleep or rest.
One window, whether you think so or not, makes all the difference in the world in regard to passenger comfort.
... think about other people around you whose sleep time you are ruining? Many of these people are catching Z's so they can conduct business the minute they get there.</font>
Condensed, I think this says it all, that light is like a beacon in a dark room. To not notice this is total DENIAL.
And no, asking a room full of people to sleep with those tight, uncomfortable eyeshades on, just so one person can be thoughtless is not the answer.
In fact, to that suggestion, one could tell such a selfish pax to charter his own plane next time. Then he could justifiably continue to just think of himself. He wouldn't have to worry about anyone else's comfort.
Pleeeeease.
