We have time to post on the internet and screw around on a message board. Stop pretending that there is never a minute of the day, even on an airplane, when you're too important to relax.

If you have long legs or you're otherwise a POS, buy a first class ticket. If you are pretending to work thinking that you're impressing anyone, just please stop. I have never seen any serious work done on the computer of any of my seatmates. It was always stuff that it wouldn't matter if it was done or not, like drying dishes. Hello, the dishes will dry whether you do it or not. Same for those pie charts. It really doesn't matter whether you look at them or not on the airplane. If you look at them on the ground, you'll look at them FASTER. You save no time doing that stuff in the air, and you impress no one, except in a negative way.

Sleeping serves a purpose. "Working" on an airplane serves no purpose. You're only kidding yourself, and if you realized what you looked like to those around you, you'd feel pretty foolish.
