Yeah – I need my precious sleep too. Is your sleep more important than mine?

I’ve had large people next to me ask to raise the armrest because they didn’t fit in their seat. Wanted to spread into my seat.

I’ve had moms with lap-riders kicking my seatback. “Can’t control them all the time. Kids are kids”, they explained.

And I’ve had snoorers. Yeah – I have earplugs. I push them in until they touch together and I still hear the sawing.

I try to be respectful and understanding of others.

What I don’t understand is the sense of entitlement exhibited by folks who impose, inflict, or intrude on the rest of us. Yes – we are all in it together. You are the source of the “problem”. So why do I have to accommodate you? Why can’t you be uncomfortable or awake for a while to accommodate me?
