I don't get on planes to socialize. See the threads about "annoying passengers".

I don't romanticize about the golden age of flying. The golden age of flying included everyone having to dress up (suits for men, dresses for women) and tables with a white table cloth and planes falling out of the sky.

Why do you feel the need to annoy your neighbor when he simply wants to relax, take a nap or enjoy a movie?
