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...
He was a nice guy, just talked to much!

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........

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....



and drifts off to sleep, but is awakened almost immediately by the arrival of the snack basket.
