What's wrong with reclining a seat?

DMIrishFlyer Oct 31, 2012 5:45 pm
thankfully most of my seat mates are great.... i keep myself to myself and engage in polite conversation at the beginning and the end. Most respect that.

I did have a happy drunk a few weeks back on a morning flight out of SNA, drank bloody mary's and then Bourbon the entire way. I got his card and an invitation to his weekend "place" anytime.... wonder what his wife (nice looking lady, saw her photo) would say if we showed up for Thanskgiving...:D

He was a nice guy, just talked to much!

Are you cute? Wasn't sure if you're the one I talked to.

I had a new one last week on a bumpy flight back into MLB. The very nice young lady next to me asked if she could have my "throwup" bag, because one would definately not be enough........

This is not a DL specific topic as you can experience people like this on every carrier. Therefore I am moving this discussion over to TravelBuzz.

Maybe he's just a fan of this guy:

I have no sense of smell so breaking wind and bare feet don't bother me. I actually love a little (safe) airplane cabin drama. Very entertaining.

At that moment, I am either being reseated or taking the next flight.

I think I sat across the aisle from that guy on a train a few months ago. Did he look a bit subnormal?

Oh and my lear jet is disguised as a Fiat Punto

Jeez, even my VW dealer set me up with a rental when my car is in the shop for a couple days, they can't call the Enterprise down the street and get him a loaner Learjet? :p

These types seem to be attracted to you. To what do you attribute your peculiar charm, oh ye of the olfactory overstimulation? Why is is that the stinky feet, the loud talkers, the sleep disturbers, the regurgitators - all find themselves irretrievably drawn to your particular environs? Is it the way you dress?

There is - "Madam, I can't help but notice that you feet appear to smell quite revolting. Please keep your shoes on until we deplane." Direct and not rude. If she can't deal with it then oh well. No point it pussyfooting around....

This would go right along with my usual philosophy of "If you were that important, you'd have your OWN jet", but to that I'll now add, "that isn't in the shop" LMAO
