I can’t sleep on planes or in cars so I used to be this person. Yay for kindle paper white.

Buy an eye mask?

It’s definitely the a-hole who reclines his seat. You literally have to think to yourself “frick the person behind me” prior to hitting that button.


My theory is that if everyone reclines, then all good. It’s a domino effect. I don’t want to be a dick, but if the person in front of me reclines, I am now forced to recline. And so on.

I just wish that for ONCE the person would ask my permission before reclining.




I paid for my seat and all of its functions

I look behind me and if its a tiny person, I don't feel bad.

I'm 6'2" though and it really fricks my world up when people recline on me, so I empathize and don't recline on taller folks, no matter what.

I'm the guy with the light on. Deal with it.
What's worse, the guy reading or the a-hole snoring?

Fat asses are the biggest a-holes for simply being fat, lazy asses. At least have the courtesy to buy two seats.

Got stuck next to a fatty last week. Every time he adjusted his fat arse in the seat he would be out of breath and I had to listen to his wheezing and panting. Not to mention his fat rolls were overflowing into my seat and touching me the entire flight.

He also smelled fat. He reaked of mustard and pickles.


You seem a tad insecure.

The guy who hijacks planes and crashes them into buildings is higher on that list for me.

That’s a solid strategy and one I take into account as well. I recently had a long flight to Los Angeles and there was a huge dude behind me. I didn’t recline until I noticed he had when I got up to take a leak. Also asked if he had room and he was all good. I wouldn’t have if he hadn’t reckoned though.

mean dude, whole plane is dark, people trying to sleep. And you HAVE to read a book and inconvenience everyone nearby.


It shouldn't bother you as the light is focused on him and where he is reading

I personally don’t like the guy that opens his window shade when the sun is low on the horizon and doesn’t even look out the window.

If I’m going somewhere for just a couple days


Bring a backpack.

But in all seriousness, carry on luggage should be handled in a way that is geared towards solo and business travel. Take away the fee to check bags and instead apply a small fee ($15?) to a carryon bag (not for personal items like backpacks- actual carryons).

This incentivizes the people with 3 kids going to Disney to check their bags instead of shoving everyone’s crap into rolling carryon bags and having the kids carry 2-3 items on top of it.

I don’t understand how these airlines are literally begging people to “courtesy check” their carryon on EVERY flight, yet they have yet to realize that swapping the fee would entirely get rid of that issue. The cheap people and/or people with no real hurry will check luggage and the solo/business travelers will have their company pay the $15.

I was on an early morning flight one time, and everyone was content to sleep (or at least relax quietly) except for two knuckleheads who pretty much fell in love with each other (in very conspicuous fashion) over their respective "faith journeys."

The entire plane was subjected to this unfolding romance, from the initial noticing of the religious tract, to the conversation conducted at volumes intended for the entire aircraft, to the sad parting at the end of the flight, when the two lovers went their separate ways, off to loudly sow the seeds of Our Noisy Lord in other places.

One guy grumbled at them about it as we deplaned, and he actually got applause.

I am always amazed by immediately need to go to the bathroom guy, who has to go up the aisle contra-flow while people are still boarding with their bags.

Why don’t you just go in the terminal and board towards the end or wait until we get up to 10k feet?
