Note to the Flying Public, who think they are Flying Private: I'm telling everybody some rules of Civilization 101. Your device came with headphones; USE THEM. This goes for your toddler TOO. Put your gadget on vibrate and then keep it in your hand or pocket. A nonrefundable fare is — nonrefundable, no matter how sad the reason you can’t go. Wheelchair assistance is for physically disabled folks, not for people too lazy to read signs or drag the luggage they refused to check, nor for tired or bored kids. Service animals are for the disabled, too; that designation wasn’t meant to give you a pass for flying with your house pet for free and outside of a carrier. No seat poaching: If you aren’t happy with your seat, don’t ask someone to switch unless you are offering them an improvement. If you must sit with your lover, child, elder or a disabled person, book your seats together even if that costs more; stop depending on the kindness of strangers! No bin poaching either. Your bag doesn’t go in a first-class or forward bin so you can grab it on your way out from row 32. And if you can’t lift your “carry on” to the top of your frig, then check it; don’t expect someone else to injure themselves doing it for you. Do NOT visit the lav in your bare feet; that ain’t water on the floor. And the first-class lav is for first class passengers; they didn’t pay extra for nothing. (I’m looking at YOU, you folks in the front of coach. Your lav is IN THE BACK.) Don’t bring smelly, messy food on board; this includes the goldfish crackers that end up littering the five-foot radius around your child. Grooming, toothbrushing and nail clipping and painting are NOT done in public, anywhere, ever. That includes an airplane. And please, STOP climbing over other pax to access the aisle or visit the lav. You nudge them, you say, "I'm sorry but I'll need to leave my seat for a moment." You wait for them to unbuckle, stand up and enter the aisle themselves and then you do the same. Change your baby in the LAV. Keep your shoes ON for taxi, takeoff and landing. Your bag or purse should not take up a seat in the gate area. Your STUFF goes on the floor near you. Seats are for PEOPLE. And guess what? Yeah, your bag will fit in the bin. Sure. Not arguing that. BUT IF YOUR BIG ONE IS IN THERE NO ONE ELSE'S CAN BE AND YOU'RE NOT ON THE PLANE ALONE. Remember: The Rules Apply To You Too. PS: Do you know you are wearing your pajamas?
