What am I to do? I am not a movie watcher, and sit coms to me are a big waste of time. I'd much rather be viewing the landscape or doing a sudoku or crossword puzzle, or maybe dozing!

Thanks for the interesting read!
In a situation like that, why not ask your seatmate if they mind if you keep the shade open, at least halfway?
