Well...I guess it isn't all THAAAAT bad since she DID use the blanket to cover her feet....or maybe she was just cold....

Either way...LAX-PHX last night.

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.
CRJ lavs do have changing tables, but they're really only big enough for an infant. Had a heck of a time changing my 2-year old in that lav, but made it work because I'd only change a diaper in view of anyone else on the plane if I had no other option.

If I were her I'd be more embarrassed about her reading material.

Couldn't get a picture, but the guy in 2D (I'm in 2C) took out nail clippers as we pushed back from the gate and spent the entire time through takeoff alternately using the clippers on his nails and biting his nails and spitting out the results. Every so often he would brush the debris off his jeans and into the carpet. It reminded me of a dog with a bone, only less clean. Disgusting. I wanted to say something, but what kind of adult needs to be told not to spit out his nail crud in public?

Thank you for reminding me that it could have been even more disgusting.

Also, I just found this thread and don't get where many people on here get off on criticizing others like this. If you are so concerned about feet or manners or butt cracks you should really say something to their face rather than to take a picture and post online only to further tout how well mannered you are. Last time I checked taking pictures of unsuspecting people in public and posting them to internet forums for ridicule may well be legal but is horribly horribly and rude disrespectful. It is fools like you all that eventually get in trouble for posting things on the internet that end up offending others.

I have had people put their feet up on the bulkhead or on my seat back and I just tell them to knock it off and 100% of the time they do what I politely ask them to. Unfortunately most of you don't have the guts to actually approach someone and tell them something like that and instead like to take pictures and post them online behind the veil of anonymity
I found telling people that their classless behavior is classless is like teaching a pig to sing. It frustrates me and annoys the pig. This is not a lot different than the People of Walmart

There's nothing wrong with sitting on the floor in a terminal. I'm sure I've sat down next to an outlet many times.

But why is the girl in the pink top lying on the floor in the middle of the concourse? I think I get the mindset: "My parents may have paid for my trip, but I'm going to prove how cool and bohemian I am by stretching out here."

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.
SDF_Traveller, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I would hope that if someone close to me or even myself were mobility limited, someone would extend the kindness of helping them when needed. We need more people who help others "just because", especially when travelling.

Gotta love this: seated in Economy Comfort (aisle seat) from DTW-SLC on Sep 12th. Guy across the aisle and one row back abruptly vomits in a truly volcanic fashion. No, he doesn't bend forward and reach for a bag. Instead, this buffoon throws his head back and tries to cover his mouth with his hands, which does nothing but spray barf in all directions.

By our count, he sprayed no less than seven (7) fellow passengers, including me. (The flight was perfectly calm, btw, with no turbulence and nobody else feeling discomfort, at least not until this guy erupted.) Classless SOB apologized to no one, and basically just tried to shrug it off. Felt really bad for the crew, which had to mop up his seat -- a 40 minute chore.

Was he browsing FlyerTalk and reading this thread? Or did he just learn about MQD's?

Got a double bulkhead adventure this afternoon flying DCA to ATL. Passenger in 1A put her feet up on the bulkhead. At least her daughter (an Alpha Delta Pi from UGA) was cute. Passenger in 1C couldn't resist and did the same thing.
