escape4, you did the right thing. I would have done the same. I'll never forget the flight where I was on a 747 UD from BKK to NRT and the woman behind me reaches forward from her seat into mine and closes two of my shades. I immediately reopened them and five minutes later she tried again, so I smacked her wrist and told her to keep her hands off me.

I'm curious, when people are at home watching TV during the daytime, do they close the blinds?
