What do you do during PA announcements?
 

(I realize this should be under "general travel talk," but too late!)

1) During the emergency briefing, do you:
a) listen
b) read the paper (and block the view of others who might be watching for the first time)
c) have a conversation
d) figure, "i've heard it, so I'll just tune out"

2) During boarding, when they ask you to stow roller-bags handle side out, do you:
a) get up and change yours
b) do nothing because you did it right the first time
c) do nothing because you can't hear the PA in the first place
d) do nothing because you have tuned it out

3) After landing, when they ask you to remain seated with seatbelt fastened, do you:
a) follow directions until the "ding"
b) unfasten as the plane nears the gate
c) unfasten when the plane is on the taxiway, but far from the gate
d) stand up as soon as the plane stops

-- when I was a child, I used to recite the script since I flew NW so often

2) During boarding, when they ask you to stow roller-bags handle side out, do you:
???? Never heard this one before

3) After landing, when they ask you to remain seated with seatbelt fastened, do you:
a) follow directions until the "ding"

a. And I do mean listen because I am short and can never actually see the demonstration.

1) During the emergency briefing, do you:
figure, "i've heard it, so I'll just tune out"

2) During boarding, when they ask you to stow roller-bags handle side out, do you:
Ignore, since I did it right the first time

3) After landing, when they ask you to remain seated with seatbelt fastened, do you:
Take it off when we are close to the gate

1) During the emergency briefing, do you:
(d) while doing (b) but reading a book and never blocking someone's view. Although if it is my 1st time flying an international carrier I enjoy watching how they put together the safty video. Air India has an Indian gentleman dubbed with a British accent and it cracks me up.

2) During boarding, when they ask you to stow roller-bags handle side out, do you:
(b) but I do not travel internationaly with a rollaboard.

3) After landing, when they ask you to remain seated with seatbelt fastened, do you:
(a) always! And then I get up, grab my bag, and politly let the rows in front of me deplane, pissing off the people that performed (d). The guy that acted out (d) and was a few rows ahead of me ends up being only one or two passengers ahead of me in the immigration line.
