When The person across the aisle from me constantly is looking out of my window (this is on an E175 when I am in FC on the A side and the person in C keeps staring to see the view out of my window despite sitting next to her husband who has his own window right next to her in D).
Also when the same person keeps looking at your laptop screen from across the aisle to see what you’re watching on Delta Studio.

I called amex for a question about my delta-branded card, the automated voice thing first asked for the last 5 digits of my card number, then immediately asked for the entire 15-digit card number

I don’t mind being ‘that person’ but as I’m going to get some work done, but I do mind the stares I get. What, because I don’t have a suit on means I can’t be a responsible freelancer trying to get some work done on my way to a site?

If my bag won't fit I'll just take the laptop out of the bag and put it under the seat. Then I can pull it out whenever I want after we're in the air.

I've never noticed because I'm too busy staring at my laptop...

Getting stuck next to the twitchy probable meth-head today. As boarding was finishing, he started to shove his elbow into my ribs. When he twitched again and I moved to block my personal airspace with my elbow he got all huffy with me, and I'm like 'no more room over here; it's a small plane (CRJ-700) and we've all got to work with it'
Since it was a 100% full plane, I couldn't just ask to be reseated because the guy next to me was a weirdo, and it was 45 minutes in the air of the twitching, the scratching of his own groin and forearms, the wandering around the cabin while the seatbelt sign was on, the attempts to elbow into my seat space again. (I swam and threw shot put in college and still have the broad shoulders to prove it, so it's not like there was room for me to go anywhere)
And then since perfesser mouse and I are doing nested/interlocking family visits over the holidays, after deplaning and collecting my bag I find myself wandering alone around the overflow parking lot, which is so far out into the woods that normally the biggest threat to personal safety is attack by black bear, trying to find where the perfesser left the car and constantly looking over my shoulder to make sure twitchy hasn't followed me out of the terminal. I'm normally pretty oblivious to danger from others, but twitchy was just weirding me out in that Stranger Danger kind of way.

Last week, sitting in window, 9pm flight, boarding ends, next seat empty... Minute later, woman in aisle waves her friend up to sit there instead of leaving it free (even though friend is not ticketed in Comfort). Ok, fine. But then, friend turns on the reading light for no reason, and leaves it on despite not reading anything for the whole flight!

My client is set up to book all my travel. On Thursday I was assigned a site requiring a TransCon on which I was hoping to burn a RUC for a D1 Redeye return. As the client has to book the ticket before I can apply my RUC all I wanted was to confirm there was upgrade space available before sending my request but Grayson had other plans that entailed taking every Twitter agent known to man.
