This forum is rather public.

Where you lose me is your assertion that someone with their hand down their pants doesn't want to be caught. I don't even care about it much - I find it more funny than disgusting - but I'd never defend someone doing it by claiming it was accidental. Same goes for clipping nails, changing diapers, and feet on things... how can these be anything but purposeful acts?

Not on an aircraft, but at a packed DL gate at PHX yesterday for a full flight:

A couple is carrying everything on but the kitchen sink. I'm looking for a seat and the wife takes one small article of 'luggage' and tosses an item across a series of three adjacent seats as I attempt to take a seat.

Manners #FAIL -- I was very tempted to say something, but I bit my lip. Will edit and insert picture later.

On a brighter note, and this may not be the right thread, but I ended up helping an older, mobility limited passenger back to her seat, along with the fellow passenger seated next to me.

The FA thought we were traveling with her and offered the aisle chair for next time. I wasn't traveling with her, neither was my seatmate. When the FA realized this, she was extremely thankful and grateful for our help -- almost to the point as if she had never seen an act of kindness like this in a long time. Admittedly the fellow sitting across from me in the aisle seat did much more to help this passenger down the aisle, but I got involved the second I stepped out of lav and saw what was going on.

I'm not sure if anyone was traveling with her, but when I see someone who needs help, I help to the best of my ability. I was raised this way -- simply put, it's the right thing to do and you just do it.

He may not have been winning, but it appears that he was holding his own.

I didn't realize that was such "a thing". Happened to me a couple of years ago on the 6am SFO-JFK route. I was in 1A surrounded by a laptop and iPad. 1 C/D were sleeping. 1B has the blanket over himself, but the blanket was moving while he was enjoying the video on his iPad (no idea, couldn't bring myself to look). He finally removed himself to the lav for a couple of minutes. Classy....

I'm sure there are some folks on this forum that would have shamelessly taken a video of the man on their cell phone with the intent of posting it on here not even realizing they were shooting a mild form of pornography

It's public yes, but his face isnt shown so its not that humiliating. As for changing diapers, yes I prefer it when my plane mates do it in private, but truth be told, I don't think its worth publicly humiliating parents trying to change their kids' diapers. If you have kids I'd be surprised if you've never been in the position to have to publicly change your kid's diaper to avoid them getting diaper rash. I'm no public servant to consider my fellow travelers' feelings when it comes to having to deal with diaper rash

What aircraft does the SJC-MSP route that the F seats have headrests? MD-90?

I have three, and while I left that sort of thing up to my wife (she loves the baby stuff... I like 'em once they can converse), I agree that if there are no other options, better to offend people than let the baby suffer. But there are usually other options, and when someone opts for their seat, lap, or table tray (yikes!) as an ahswiping station over the lav, I think they should be humiliated as well.

If a guy in ugly red pants and sneakers is going to wedge his feet between the seat backs, the least he can do is have the hot chick he's flying with give me a good leg show. I forget where I was going, this pic is a few months old.

Meh. My wife and I changed my daughters wet diaper on our laps in a CRJ200 last thursday night. Pretty sure no one saw since we boarded SkyPriority but it was a last minute award ticket so we were in the very back. I'm unapologetic.

I just love how people, somehow, think that this is an acceptable thing to do. And in an exit row, no less, where there is already a little extra room.

The empty Arby's container in the seatback pocket just classes this up that much more.

Good lord. Too bad the passengers in the row ahead didn't swiftly recline and jam those wayward feet.

Mind blowing, isn't it?

In your lap, fine. Not sure if the tiny CRJ lavatories have changing tables anyway. But changing a diaper directly on a tray table or seat, especially in larger aircraft where changing tables are definitely available, is unacceptable.

No recline on the row in front of the exit row. However, if I were sitting in the row in front of these people, they wouldn't be sleeping like that for long.
