So I'm boarding a China Southern flight from ICN to HRB with wife and brother-in-law. We have seats 26C, 26E and 26G.
Are we together?
The answer is yes. There are no D's or F's in this row.
And then there are non-continuous row numbering schemes on other airlines.
When I first ordered pizza in the United States, I asked the pizza people if the pizza came sliced. They laughed at me as being clueless. These same people have obviously never ordered pizza outside of the United States.
So the moral of these non-piecewise, non-discrete, non-continuous (review calculus to understand these terms) examples of perceived cluelessness is that assuming that somebody is clueless is pure ignorance. The next time you want to laugh while drinking a bloody mary in 1D, maybe you should be the one laughed at when 1D is the squat toilet at the rear of the aircraft, or worse when there is no row 1 in the plane.
