But I behave myself, don't fart, only have one carryon, and fill seats that would otherwise go empty (leisure travel - finally scored my first business travel in over a year).
And it's Dammit, Janet .....

Rff Raff = Opposite of people who are 2 paychecks away from losing their house and car anyway -and- who think the airlines owe them First Class seats for life. THey would also like the aircraft they fly on to be reserved for other business drones, sorry I mean travelers who look like them, speak the same language as them and bring aboard smaller carry on bags than them.
Long live the riff raff. They are much more interesting to sit next to anyway.

. Seems that all the spinners have another seat, and the riff raff has the seat next to me unless I get the UG (I'm not riff-raff, just riff-raff Elite).Had a few interesting conversations up front when the UG cleared, and quite frankly, except for the popcorn idiot, that was the best part of the UG. Well that, and the free drinks.

Probably for all intents and purposes, too.
As is spelling.

That would be the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, Janet being then pretty much unknown Susan Sarandon. Words delivered by Brad IIRC.

And maybe it's because I'm a great conversationalist, but I enjoy my conversations in coach. Thankfully, I'm always put next to decent people.

Riff-Raff: business travelers whose employers require them to book their airfare through the corporate travel agent (as opposed to those who are allowed to buy through CO.com) and receive 50% EQM, zero EQP, no 1,000 mile CO.com bonus, and are generally treated like trash by CO.
